First off, I'm more fascinated about the events he was involved in. You'd think a lunatic would create enough havoc in Tulsa that there'd be more scary or profound stories out there. Also, you have to admit that its mind-blowing that a sociopath could get away with so many bad things for such a long period of time. Or even for a person to have the type of ambition to do all the crazy things that happened..
These are incidents from 30+ years ago. There was a small group of guys back then who enjoyed tripping, Todd was more than happy to make his contributions. Those involved weren’t raving lunatics, they were football and basketball players, and pretty good students for the most part taking advanced science and math. They all grew out of that, have good careers and families. There was the one incident of the boarding student who went raving through the dorm one night, but it’s not like he trashed the place and the SWAT team descended on the dorm.
We all partied back then, some were more adventurous, some like myself knew well enough to stay away from white powders and LSD.
I think Skinner’s ambition was to control people then as well as more recently. Not really that glamorous. Just a sociopath. The reason he got away with so much for so long was being a government snitch. His stepfather was a G-man.
