#380: 78 Minutes in Uvalde

First and foremost, we extend our deepest sympathy and sorrow for the 21 victims who lost their lives on May 24th, 2022 at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. We are holding their families and community in our hearts along with the other victims who were injured and survived. 

Next we want to count down and analyze those 78 excruciating minutes when a teenager with an assault weapon entered the school grounds terrorized and murdered these young children and their two teachers. We have a lot to say about the police response, the behavior of the male teenaged killer, and where do we go from here in the aftermath of this unspeakable and preventable mass shooting.

We know thoughts and prayers do not work. It's time for real talk from experts who know what works best and for real action. Enough is enough.

You must listen to the incredible, comprehensive book "How to Stop A Mass Shooting Epidemic" by Professors Jillian Peterson and James Hensley. This is a "real world" book, not just theory not lecturing, and not political. Jill and James studied every mass shooter and context of every documented mass shooting in the United States. They interviewed shooters in prison who gave insight on what led them to their horrific crimes. But the book is about so much more. You can get it from the link below.
