The Columbine High School Shooting

On this episode of Those Conspiracy Guys we examine one of the most influential and traumatic events in a pre-9/11 world which changed how our children have been treated for almost the last 20 years and an event so shocking and unpredicatble it changed police operating procedures, world wide school environments, and the attitudes toward mental health and medication, The Columbine High School Shooting. We discuss the control of firearms, the over medications of kids, the police procedures blamed for the slow response and the atmosphere of cultural isolation teenagers and the media blame for the incident.

On this episode we talk about one of the most famous US kidnappings and the insanely complicated abduction story of Jaycee Lee Dugard. In the summer of 1991 Phillip Garrido, a convicted sex offender, and his wife Nancy snatched Jaycee Lee off the street outside her house in Lake Tahoe, California. She was kept incarcerated for 18 years and even had two children with her captor. In this episode we talk about the suffering she endured and the psychology of both victim and captor. We also try to discover why it went on for 18 years and also why nobody thought to ask more questions, and examine the testimony and TV appearances of Jaycee Lee after she was released.
