Last Thursday, the elementary school two of my granddaughters attend went on lockdown.

I grabbed a 45 ACP and a carrier with six spare mags and threw them into my trunk to go to the school.

The park next to the school was calm with kids doing last day of school events.

Drove two streets next to the school and observed parents calmly picking up kids, three police vehicles out front.

Turned on a side street and circled back to a church next to the school and parked in the back parking lot 50 yards from the backside of the school.

Watched a school resource officer let staff out to that back school parking lot.

After 20 minutes, I observed no alarm or urgency and went back home.

*For you feds monitoring this channel, I never went onto school property.

I moved to Austin -from out of state- days after the shooting, to begin my freshman year at UT. it was years later that my parents and I were able to go up to the observation deck of the Tower.

Austin was a smallish, fairly conservative town then, dominated by state government and UT. I think IBM was there then.

a house I bought for $10,000 in 1973 is valued at $559,000 now.

Pretty good doc, less than an hour long, of the events as they unfolded that day.

Whitman was a marine sharpshooter, and picking off moving targets hundreds of yards away. He was also mentally disturbed. There was another killer in Texas who was also a marine sharpshooter and diagnosed as mentally disturbed. That was Lee Harvey Oswald.

I think I see a pattern here.

The Dallas Tower shooter, Charles Whitman, sought help for intense headaches and irrational thoughts he kept having. One doctor at the university prescribed Valium. Charles Whitman asked for an autopsy in his suicide note because he knew something was wrong.

The autopsy revealed a "pecan-sized" tumor. So much for asking for help.

The globalists blame guns, knowing full well their intent is to disarm a population to commit atrocities against them.

Harry Chapin’s “Sniper” is based on this event. Powerful song.
