I chose to opt out of this thread almost from its inception, largely because the issue of gun control in America was rendered moot long ago, in my opinion. Anyway, tomorrow night PBS is airing a docu-series "Tower." The abstract on this program:
Explore the deadly August 1, 1966, mass shooting at the University of Texas that left 16 dead. 'Tower' reframes the events of that day via the perspectives of those who lived through it and examines the effects of the shooting over the last 50 years.
This mass shooting, one of the first--if not the first--to burst onto the national consciousness, took place in my backyard as I was growing up in Texas. The program should provide a good long-term perspective on mass shootings in the US.
Check your local listings if you're interested.
