Episode notes

This week, a shot that has massive implications for not only the united states, but possibly the world. A sniper on a roof and a former president and presidential candidate has brought into sharp focus the ramifications of assassinating a world leader. Why would someone want to murder a political leader? How do they even get close enough to try? What are the outcomes when it happens? Can we prevent it in the future? Why are we obsessed with grassy knolls? How did my classmates accidentally assassinate our schools cow? and ultimately how did it come to this?
