And when much less did occur, they were shocking to the point of sobering us up, not moving us further to the left.
Charles Whitman was an early crazed mass shooter in 1966. That was a few years after the Supreme Court found that God was an "unconstitutional intruder" in our public schools.
Connection? You'd better believe it!

There was a TV movie staring Kurt Russell about this. The movie had the traditional anti-gun theme.
At the end there was a voice over stating that Whitman was found to have a brain tumor which may have contributed to his violent act.
HOWEVER, An even LOUDER voice over drowned THAT voice over out telling people to watch another show on the network.
I grew up in Austin and lived only a few blocks from the UT Tower at the time of the shooting. I will always remember how we could hear the shots from our yard until my mother made us come in the house.
Several civilians in the area got their rifles and returned fire to Whitman, allowing the two officers to get to the top of the tower and take him out.
