Does any one remember ? in 1999.....Colorado.?

Question

Remember the Columbine High School massacre? Well I read a lot about on the web. and I still don't understand how people can kill other humans and not even care.
Give me your prospective on how you see the massacre!!
And listen to the song "Cassie" by Flyleaf!! It so sad the story behind it all.
The story is that Harris slapped the desk twice and bent down and said "peek-a-boo" to Cassie Bernall and just shot her!! I'm going ask everyone who reads this to give a moment of silence to the TEENS who were killed.
Thank You...
Don't for get to comment!

Answer 1

One of the killers was a military junior. His father was a retired Air Force pilot who reached the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. That family had entered the civilian world of Littleton from a base in upstate New York. Having seen my own children try to make the transition from the military milleu to civilian schools, I wonder if that young man had been as bullied and picked on as my two sons were? It seems to me that all of those killed had one thing in common: they were the "in"crowd. The "in' crowd in a school full of some very shallow students who were clueless about the real world. The key indicator is the impromptu "memorial service" the surviving students set up. It was held at the local Starbucks!
Since that tragic day we have invested millions in metal detectors and the like. I have not seen a similar effort for "zero tolerance" of school bullies.

Answer 2

Yo sweetness --
yes, I do remember
There were multiple factors that played into this tragedy -- most of it stemming around a deep seated hatred of everyone who was different than the two that committed this crime ! These two individuals also were involved in a sort of "gang of two" mentality wherein the two of them actually "macho-ed" one another up to higher and higher levels of "scenario building" -- where they worked feverishly on grander and grander plans of action that would serve to "show the world" what they were feeling inside !!
They knew, by simple life experience, that the media would make them into "celebrities" after the fact --- and THAT was a great deal of the reasonings behind the absolute slaughter that ensued !!
As far as the "cavalier" attitudes and conduct in the execution of these inocent people -- it is simply to be expected from individuals who have opted to end their own life in such a "cavalier" fashion !! To them, it all was simply a "video game" of sorts --- and, being the "masters" OF the situation at that time -- would -- choose to treat all their victims as so much meaningless fodder !!
What continues to stun ME, is the manner in which media continues to deal with such things -- as in the recent tragedy in Virginia -- they make a MAJOR thing out of the people who commit such garbage -- and create a ton of stories on ALL of the lunatic's life and deeds and views and.....etc etc etc --- making them a de facto "celebrity" -- thus, INSURING that this sort of thing will happen again and again and again ---- by people who are desirous of BEING SOMEBODY at any expense whatsoever -- and no clue as to how to do it otherwise !!!!

My thoughts have ALWAYS been with the victims' families and friends ! These are the folks that are left to deal with this insanity for the years to come !! God bless them -- every single one -- for they are the ongoing victims in this !!!!!!

Answer 3

why continue to celebrate the killers in this

Allow the dead to be dead and stop celebrating the killers

when u try to figure out why sick people do something then u justify them for doing it.

These killers names should never be spoken again..... they should stay obscure ....... the problem is allowing children to play with guns....... take away the guns and this type of thing wont happen anymore

our founding fathers said we should be able to keep and bear arms....... the arms of the day were muzzle loaders not automatic hand guns and riffles
