Tribesman is attempting to associate Charles Whitman and the TX University shooting to the beating his old man gave him. Might have been a part. Kind of left out the Marines where he learned other types of discipline. No mention of the drugs he was on and the sleep deprivation before the shootings. Numerous other issues in his life. Also failed to mention Charles had 2 brothers that experienced the same when growing up but did not climb a clock tower and kill with a rifle.
