They take Harrison Bergeron in the story by Mr. Vonnegut because he wasn't equal to everyone else-he was too strong, too handsome, too everything, and he didn't want people to have to degrade their talents to be equal to someone else. So when he escapes and goes to the news studio to show everyone how liberating it is to be free, he gets shot and killed. His mother, Hazel, watches him get killed on TV, but she can't even remember her own son. Everyone has to handicap themselves in an area so they are all equal. So most people have to wear handicaps. People can't think about one something for very long.
