Instead of banning guns, maybe we should rethink 1960s dogmas.

There was a Columbine like school shooing mentioned in Hunter Thompson's Hell's Angels book (from 1966). The kids targeted preps, jocks, and brains.

Charles Whittman climbed the UT tower. Richard Speck raped and murdered something like a dozen nurses in one night.

These are rampages against those in the ordered society.

I remember the Speck and Whittman cases well and the school shooting sounds vaguely familiar. My wife was a nurse so the Speck case hit close to home.

The words used were “largely a phenomenon of the sixties,” not “exclusively a phenomenon of the sixties.”
