3. Potentially a great leader, another casualty of our gun culture

4. He would have never seen, or believed, someone like trump sitting in the Oval Office

5. Both his and his brother's deaths are still painful.

It's been a long time, but I can still feel the horror and despair I felt at the time. That along with the absolute horror of MLK's killing define that period for me even more than Viet Nam and all the anti-war protests. I had put way too much hope in the future based on these two.
