- Noted convergence of LDS-related events: Church president’s death, prior anti-LDS violence.
- Reflection on Religious Minorities: Discussion of how LDS make up a mere 1% in Michigan, making the crime more of a targeted obsession than a mass movement.

[19:55] National Mood and “Bloody September”

[27:09] Self-Defense and Stopping the Attack
