The more a person really believes in the end times the more fucked up they're likely to be - and most if not all buy into Glenn Beck's bullshit and whatever he sells they get. One guy was like "Yeah I've got my gold. I've got my gun. I've got my food insurance. Bring it on."

Really these people are crazy and psychotic.
