(NEWSER) On Tuesday, a Florida school board approved a $600,000 payout to the families of three students who died after being hypnotized by their high school principal, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reports. The bizarre case started in 2011 when 16-year-old North Port High School student Wesley McKinley hanged himself after being hypnotized by principal George Kenney multiple times. Friends say McKinley couldn't remember his own name after hypnosis sessions to improve his guitar playing.

This just made me remember an amazing show about hypnotism - it is really scary stuff. I really suggest you watch this to see how weak minded, susceptible people can be programmed.
Very creepy stuff:

“But he kept your money..........LOL!”
Yes he did! But I soon glomed onto his methods, and was able to use them on myself.
Turning you children over to the public school system puts them at similar mind control risk.
And I think our government is dabbling in it but to what extent, I don't know and can't know.
I will watch that video later for sure, have to get supper started before too long.

It is very interesting!
The premise is that some people are weak minded and prone to be easy to hypnotize. You’ll see that they go through a weeding process to find the most suggestible person for the experiment.
We live in an age of vast knowledge and no moral compass!
The hypnotist warned the audience, especially the front row, would be right in the middle of something, walk over and snap his fingers in front of someone and bring them out of the trance. He also explained post-hypnotic suggestion and the old, can't make you do anything you wouldn't do if "not in an altered state (my words)".
I don't think I ever told my parents and certainly didn't know that was going to happen. It's a common teen group name but I can't remember it.
It would probably depend on the individual and dare I say the status of their spirituality or self-control (possibly). To me, there would be a fine line between outright hypnotism and the power of suggestion.
Even the latter could conceivably be used in an evil or self-serving way; otherwise it could be very positive like a person is worried about something and you counter it with a positive thought or just encouragement.
Me neither ... but ... All Glory to the Hypnotoad!
I didn’t need hypnosis to improve my guitar playing. I heard Danny Gatton, and he lit a fire under my butt!
That is so weird!
In other news . . . students who met tragic ends all ate Doritos over the previous month.
Sometimes I think Obama hypnotized his more feeble minded audience. I read an article that talked about the way he gestured and repeated himself contained some kind of suggestive power. Actually, those who kept swooning over his supposed eloquence makes me think that this is as reasonable an explanation for his success as any.
Has Hillary ever been hypnotized?
Wait! This is not the Democrat National Convention!
I went with some friends to a Comedy Club where Flip Orley was performing. I thought it must be fake until one of my friends got “hypnotized” while sitting at our table watching volunteers from the audience get hypnotized. At first I thought she was faking it to be funny, then realized she wasn’t.
I can’t be hypnotized either.
