Summary

In today’s case a similar situation to the one we covered in Episode 224 arose in central Florida in the Spring of 2011, but this time with a 21st century twist. The teens exhibited the same type of behavior we saw in 1965 in Tucson but this time social media was present to fan the flames of an all too familiar fire caused by jealous, and hierarchical, high-conformity behavior…and just like last time someone would lose their life. Join me as I tell John the case of Seath Jackson.

what I'm going to do today, to prove that the same theories hold true across time and space. And that's what I want to do today. To kind of go back to last

1:15.3

episode and prove that the same theories hold true across time and space. Two weeks ago, I told you that
