| 0:31.7 | Welcome to 10 Gently Speaking. I'm going to die of virgin. That was in the note |
| 0:40.0 | that the shooter left in Roseburg last week. I'm going to die of virgin. It strikes |
| 0:47.4 | me how much these shootings have in common. There are exceptions of course, but most |
| 0:54.3 | of them are young, frustrated men who feel isolated from American society and fixated on |
