Guilty that for some reason chance had given me slack while so many others weren’t given that. My friends texted each other in the group chat at exactly 10:06, trying to see if we were all alive. I ran out into the living room only to watch on the TV the people that I’d known since we were 6 running for their lives. It was an awful, awful day.

He was leaving the entrance at the same time Patti Nelson was going to confront the shooters for the ruckus they were causing with their "prop guns". Once both Patti and Brian realized the gravity of the situation, they fled to the library where Patti made her infamous 911 call "GET DOWN ON THE FLOOR AND STAY ON THE FLOOR!", the killers would then come into the library and proceed to slaughter 10 students (2 additional students outside, Rachel Scott and Daniel R. + one teacher, Dave Sanders) and then eventually themselves.

It absolutely was. The issue was 90% mental health, and the media pushed a romantic “love each other and shootings won’t happen~” thing because people liked it. The truth is, they were sociopaths that needed serious help and they already had friends.

[@yesnina3596]

Eric and Dylan were never bullied. Both boys were pretty popular and had a social life. Unfortunately both were mentally unstable, Eric was obsessed with human extinction and Dylan was suicidal. I recommend reading the book Columbine by Dave Cullen if you want to know more about these two murderers I also wanted to add on that the media loved to use the "outcast kill jock" and the "trench coat mafia" story to justify Eric and Dylan's horrific acts. Both were definitely mentally unstable and unfortunately there had been many signs but of course no one payed attention.

I’ve actually been to Columbine twice for some speech and debate competitions. Being born after the massacre, it never really struck me how much this tragedy shook the nation. The first time I competed there though, my oldest sister and my brother in law were trembling as they dropped me off. They asked me multiple times if I even wanted to go inside. I confidently said “yeah! Why wouldn’t I?” without acknowledging how genuinely scared they were for my safety. I stepped inside, and was guided to the cafeteria. That is when reality hit me. The footage I saw as a kid of students hiding under tables played over and over again in my head. Once everyone had arrived, the faculty held a meeting telling us not to take pictures out of respect for the families of the victims. They urged us to never walk around by ourselves, and also to report any suspicious activity. Fortunately nothing ever happened at those competitions, but the fear and anxiety I felt is something I’ll never forget.

Man did they have it all wrong; even the smallest details. Eric and Dylan didn’t actually wear trench coats- they wore black dusters. The trench coat mafia wasn’t anything more than a group of nerds who liked dressing like they were in the Matrix. They weren’t violent, they weren’t goths, they didn’t wear makeup or nail polish- they just wore trench coats and shades to school. Eric and Dylan were not in the Trench coat mafia. Dylan was friends with one of them. That’s it. / Eric and Dylan didn’t have a hit list- they literally tried to kill as many people as possible with bombs that didn’t go off. When that failed, they resorted to shooting the place up and got bored 17 minutes into the attack. Killing up close in person is different than from a distance. They started roaming the building shooting at the walls and ignoring students who were still in the building and very much in the line of Fire. 90% of their plans failed including how they wanted to die. They wanted to die either blown up in their cars or in a shootout with police. The car bombs didn’t go off and the cops couldn’t hit them. So they shot themselves. They predicted that no one would understand their motives and that they would change things forever and they were right.

1) They were not part of the trench coat mafia, Eric and Dylan just also wore trench coats due to their favorite movie. 2) Eric and Dylan were bullied. However, not more than others. Apparently bullying was rampant in Columbine in general. 3) The bullying, the toxic mindset that comes with being a teenager and both their mental illnesses were a explosive combination that led to this. 4) Do not see Dave Cullens book as the Bible on this. Sure, read it but take it with a grain of salt. He has completely dismissed some hard evidence and multiple people (such as friends of the shooters or some of the teachers) said that he misconstrued their testimonies.

I remember it well. Movies, video games, Marilyn Manson... the mass brain dead media were looking to blame anyone but the awful parents, school and cops who allowed this to happen. They all knew a year before this crime that those two boys were unhinged and making threats of mass murder, and they all continue to lie about being aware of it. Students went to school officials to tell them their names were on a "hit list". Klebold's parents were told by other parents that he was a violent sicko making public threats of mass murder. The cops even got a warrant to search Harris' house and found a pipe b*mb. All of these people then lied about all of these facts after the crime, because none of them wanted to admit that their mass incompetence allowed this crime to happen.

Several years ago a school shooting occurred at the high school I attended. Except this shooting was done by the school resource officer (also a local police officer) who shot and killed a deranged man who entered the school, following a student who was late getting there. The school immediately went into lock down and the resource officer confronted the man who was armed with guns and intent on using them, in the hallway. She tried at first to diffuse the situation but when she was unable to do so she shot & killed him before he could endanger anyone else. The school was Sullivan Central High School in Blountville, TN. The officers name is Carolyn Gudger, and in my hometown she is a hero. She is the perfect example of what a school resource officer should be. A courageous woman who did her job, putting her life on the line for the students/faculty she was hired to protect. I was very disappointed that there was not a lot of media attention surrounding this incident, except for locally of course. I just really wanted people to see what a difference having a well trained, courageous police officer who takes their promise to protect and serve seriously on campus can make in these situations. I share this story so that the world will learn about this hero that is among us by the name of Carolyn Gudger
