Good story, but leave politics out of it.

Overall a good story. However, author mentions Columbine, Virginia Tech, Sandyhook, etc. and blames mass shootings on "Americas ease of obtaining firearms." Author doesn't mention what New Jersey's gun laws were in the late 40's. Maybe this tragedy could have been minimized if civilians were permitted to carry. Either way, author should have left his personal politics out of the story...just my opinion though

another good one

another good story in this series can't wait to move on to the next one. if you haven't read or listen to any of these then o highly recommend it.

Mass shootings in the past

Rampage takes a look at the mass shootings in our American history. Although there were not as many as we have now, it is still a devastating event that shakes the whole community. This book covers some of the events and shooters and why they say they did it.
Narration was good and appropriate.

Incredible story

If this was a movie it would just another horror film trying to shock people, but the fact that this is a true story makes it all the more shocking. It is hard to imagine how someone could totally flip out and go on a shooting rampage like this! Unfortunately, in this day and age it's more believable, but in 1949 it had to be shocking!!

Disturbing

Out of all the stories so far, I think this unsettled me the most. Mainly because I'm trying to wrap my head around how the whole thing could of happened in the amount of time it happened and nobody stepped in until they did. It was very educational though. Especially since he's known as one of the first mast murderers in all of history. One does wonder though why so many things are swept under the rug when things could be prevented by just dealing with the situation at hand so it doesn't escalate. I recommend this series.

Father of the Mass Murderer

Another chilling edition of the Bloodlands series. This book focuses on the father of mass murder Howard Unruh. A seemingly normal unremarkable man who enlisted in the military and learned to love killing. Childhoods and methodical, he killed 13 people, including innocent children in a Walk of Death. He chose not to take his own life and taxpayers were forced to foot the bill for his commitment to an asylum. Expertly researched and well written, a short read. As usual, Steven Weber is superb on the audio book version.

Obvious Moral Compass

This story is clearly meant to show that gun violence is not new and that it would be preventable with stricter gun control. It almost outright says it, and says mass murder is something like an American tradition. I didn't need the preaching, but I do agree with the conclusions. The story was interesting enough but not five -star interesting. I like the narrator. I'm mostly giving him stars I think.
