re: 50th Anniversary of the UT-Austin Clock Tower shooting (8/1/66)

Heard audio of phone calls once (did not know things were recorded then) of a local sporting goods store calling police to offer th rifles that he had. I believe a couple were used to keep him pinned down.

I always wondered in this day and age how people would feel about how Whitman was killed. I saw an interview where the cop put a couple extra into Whitman to make sure he stayed down. Probably would have been outcry as there would have been 5 news choppers and 100 smartphone videos of events.

Never heard about the buckshot between the eyes.
