Failed Politician's Plan: Guns, Death, and Voter Fraud Bingo
Solomon Peña, after losing a political race, traded canvassing for mayhem. He 'falsely claimed the election was rigged,' then orchestrated drive-by shootings targeting Democratic officials—using a 'fully automatic machine gun' with rounds hitting where children slept. Not content with chaos, he tried to have his accomplices murdered to keep quiet. Peña now faces 80 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and 'three years of supervised release'—because when you mix politics with violence, you don’t get votes, you get a lifetime sentence.

Nothing says 'graceful election loss' like orchestrating shootings and assassination plots. Solomon Peña’s campaign slogan must have been: 'If I can't win, why not open fire?'
Peña losing an election and responding with bullets? Talk about taking 'gun control' to a whole new losing level.
When your backup plan after losing an election is a machine gun and witness hits, maybe politics isn’t your weapon of choice.
