I saw it at a theater; a NamVet friend got a group together to go.  He
said something very much like that really happened, and I'm not inclined
to doubt it.

Back around 1979 or 80, one of my best friends and her son went stark
raving paranoid psychotic overnight.  Literally, they woke up insane,
closed the shop, boarded up their windows and prepared for the worst -
locked into a state of panic the whole time.

At that time, Carolyn was running a head shop near the University of
Central Florida, and a series of laws had recently been passed over the
course of a few months in an effort to shut down head shops in Florida,
with an apparent emphasis on hers:  The first to be raided on every day
the next law kicked in.  The other well known head shop in town was
never raided.  It did not open on the mornings of the raids, but some of
Carolyn's stock did appear on its shelves in the weeks following.

Also at that time, Lockheed Martin was building a missile plant less
than a mile down the road from Carolyn's head shop.  On the cross-corner
of the same intersection, a subdivision destined to house many of the
missile plant's employees broke ground.

Caroline never called her establishment an Infoshop, but it was exactly
that, loaded to the gunnels with anarchist literature and propaganda.
On slow days the stone gorgeous fucking brilliant hippie chick who ran
it was always happy to talk politics.  So, given Carolyn's location,
that store had to go.

Carolyn eventually recovered.  Her son did not.  In all fairness he was
starting to go nuts on his own - family history on his father's side -
but whatever nerve agent was used did him no favors either.

Every now and then when an "inconvenient" person kills themselves or
gets themselves shot, information on their behavior in the days leading
up to the event really does make me wonder.  Carolyn believed that she
was supposed to commit suicide, because someone had made it a point just
a couple of days earlier to assure that there would be a loaded gun in
the house.
