A really personal look at what it must *feel* like to have been there — and lived.
You'll be hooked after two minutes. I'm not even being cute. This is so powerful.
I lived in a town when there was a mass shooting in our City Hall. I wasn't there. Other leaders in my town were present at the shooting. Some lived. Some didn't. I brought a casserole to one of the city council member's wives whose husband had been shot and killed. The funeral for the shooter was held at my church.
I have never seen a better representation of the lost feeling my whole town had for weeks after the shooting.
Too often we have these mass shootings. Too often.
This short episode is part of a great web series called "High Maintenance." It's about a weed deliveryman (get it?!) and it's almost always really, *really* poignant.
I'd seen other episodes, but I was pointed in this episode's direction by the email newsletter from Cultivated Wit, a company that specializes in making important things funny. Their website is super fun to scroll around!
The star of this episode is Hannibal Buress — he's a real comedian in real life. (You maybe have seen him on the Comedy Central masterpiece "Broad City.")
