  • News reporting was professional back then, matter of fact and serious. Nothing like the fluff and slanted reporters of today. I am impressed by the people who ran out and risked their lives to save others who had been shot, no we cant even get the police to do that. Different time and much better class of citizens.

  • @azopimp there have been hundreds of thousands of us marines with the exact same training and didn't go out and murder over a dozen people. it was his personal and psychological issues

  • no ICP song

    whoop whoop

  • @MrAzrancher Yeah, class of citizens like the mafia, the people who approved of segregation, and the occupation of Vietnam. Where is the honesty in it all today?

  • Anyone here because of Harry Chapin's song, "Sniper" ?

  • @MrAzrancher You're absolutely. Today the media is biased and prejudiced.

  • @toddbolden He had a brain tumor....I guess you could call that personal...

  • wow im just spechless to do this but think of it in this way because of him we now have the SWAT tean

  • @MrAzrancher You are 100% correct in your analysis. News reporting was very professional. No fluff, reporters did their jobs, and nothing else. Far fewer commercials too back then. Also, far less money too! The reporter in this story was probably getting about 20G per year, good money in 1966! Huntley was probably making about $200,000. Today, the field reporter would make at least $300G and the anchor brings in around 10 million a year. That's why they carpet bomb us with ads today!

  • KTBC was affiliated at the time with all three networks, so KTBC's Neil Speltz (sp?) probably filed this same filmed story for all three networks' newscasts.

    That is why Speltz (sp?) probably ended his story without identifying the network, so the same story aired on all three evening newscasts.

  • it was actually 2:18

  • I wonder what that object that flew by the women was at 2:20 maybe be a bug or something else?
