December 30th: Anthony Barbaro Kills (1974) Not all school shooters fit the profile we’ve made up in our heads. The one fed to us by Hollywood, the media and, in some cases, actual real life experience. On December 30th 1974 a young man walked into a school armed and ready to pull the trigger. A boy who didn’t really fit the profile of a school shooter in the same way we’ve come to expect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974_Olean_High_School_shooting, https://www.nytimes.com/1974/12/31/archives/3-killed-and-9-wounded-by-an-upstate-sniper-18-3-killed-and-9.html, https://murderpedia.org/male.B/b/barbaro-anthony.htm, https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/81616968/anthony-f-barbaro Learn more about your ad choices.

December 25th: Harry and Harriette Moore Killed (1951) Standing up and doing what is right has a long and unfortunate history of placing a target on people’s back. On December 25th 1951 a couple who spent decades fighting for civil rights found themselves the victims of a horrific attack. An attack motivated by their activism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murders_of_Harry_and_Harriette_Moore, https://naacp.org/find-resources/history-explained/civil-rights-leaders/harry-t-and-hariette-moore, https://www.harryharriettemoore.org/the-moores, https://www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/moore-home-bombed/, https://www.npr.org/2022/02/01/1076141993/black-history-harry-hariette-moore, https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/interactive/unresolved/cases/harriette-v-moore/, https://www.pbs.org/harrymoore/harry/mbio.html Learn more about your ad choices.

December 24th: Robert LeCompte Killed (2009) A red herring can completely throw off a case. On December 24th 2009 a man was brutally slain in a place where, up until that moment, he felt safe and welcome. A case where, with one small clue, the motive was muddled into something totally different. https://www.vanityfair.com/style/society/2014/01/murder-drama-club-louisiana, https://www.oxygen.com/murdered-by-morning/crime-news/jorell-young-stabbed-lgbtq-bayou-bar-manager-robert-lecompte, https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/feb/22/drama-club-blazed-trail-for-houmas-gay-community/ Learn more about your ad choices.
