I saw an episode of Forensic Files about the salad bar attack so I had some vague understanding of these events. But...this is a hell of a story and great doc. (I’m 3 episode in.)

I’ve read a few books about the group, as someone in Ireland asked me to find and bring him some, but this documentary was far more interesting than any of the books I’ve read.

I feel like a lot of shows, before a character dies, really foreshadows it by having them tie…

This show! Gordon dying was an anticipated endgame, but I didn’t think this soon. And seeing all if the reactions just kept making it more and more heartbreaking.
