Saw a really interesting TV programme on Channel 4 last night about Brenda Spencer, the first ever American School Shooter, who Killed two people injured 8 children as she shot at a school across the road from her house. Her explanation at the time as a 16 year old; 'I don't like Mondays' is the basis of the Boomtown Rats (Sir Bob Geldoffs group before he decided to
change the world), song of the same name.
It was a really interesting story, as Brenda after 26 years incarcerated had a parole hearing, where as is usually the case it seems her abusive father screwed with her mind as a child. Sadly Blazing Saddles came on, on the Beeb and as it has the greatest and most funny start to a movie ever, I missed the end. Altough looks like she never got her parole.
