Milgram has done a good job of demonstrating the idea of obedience and compliance. His book "Obedience to Authority: An Experimental View" is very insightful and a must for anyone interested in public opinion manipulation and obedience.
Thanks for sharing @logiczombie,
Thanks for your thoughtful comment.
The shocking thing for me was that it happened over 70 times.
I heard about this years ago and I thought it was only 2 or 3 incidents.
This is certainly news-worthy, and it makes you wonder why it wasn't reported as breathlessly as the weekly mass-shootings?
I'm actually pretty impressed they managed to get a movie made about it.
