BONUS: Mass Shootings: Where Do We Go from Here?

Author: William F. Thomas and Kristin M. Dilley December 7, 2023 Duration: 44:50
Join "Mind Over Murder" hosts Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley for a discussion of "Mass Shootings: Where Do We Go from Here?" Among the issues covered are whether law enforcement and the media should be releasing the so-called manifestos of mass shooters, and how the media should be educating the public as to the physical damage being done to shooting victims by AR-15 style rifles and other high velocity weapons of war. Does publishing the rantings of mass killers benefit the public in any way? Do these high powered weapons even have a place in the civilian world? Should they be sold to anyone beyond the military and law enforcement? This bonus episode of "Mind Over Murder" originally ran on May 8, 2023.

Behind the microphone of Mind Over Murder are William F. Thomas and Kristin M. Dilley, two voices shaped by profoundly different yet converging paths. Bill is not just an entertainment executive; he carries the personal weight of a family tragedy, having lost his younger sister Cathy Thomas and her girlfriend Rebecca Dowski to the still-haunting Colonial Parkway Murders. Kristin brings her background as a researcher and teacher to the table, applying a meticulous and thoughtful lens to each story they explore. Together, they move beyond the sensational headlines to examine the human cost of violence, the intricate process of investigation, and the long, often painful road toward resolution. This isn't a passive listening experience. Each episode of the Mind Over Murder podcast is built on a foundation of advocacy and deep, personal investment, offering a perspective that only those directly touched by such loss can fully provide. You'll hear detailed analysis of cases, conversations that grapple with the complexities of justice, and an unwavering focus on the victims and the families left searching for answers. It's a careful, respectful exploration of true crime, where the emphasis rests on understanding over exploitation, making it a distinct and compelling entry in the genre.
