The one thing I hate about Columbine after what those two dumb fucks (censor me if you have to, but that's about the only way you can describe them as) did is how it became, for a little while, the rallying cry for idiots like L. Brent Bozell and others who think life should be an episode of "Leave it to Beaver". I remember how they blamed The Matrix as influencing them, despite the fact that the movie came out a little less than a month beforehand and really, wouldn't have done a damn thing to influence them regardless.
The Virginia Tech incident was another thing that had something else to piss me off besides the actual shooter himself. For a little bit afterwards, people were screaming for more gun control laws. Funny thing is, I heard not too long afterwards that the VT shooter got his guns from a licensed dealer...who knew about his mental history...and apparently chose to ignore it. I think right about that same time, the clamor for more gun control died off, because, after all, what's the point of putting more laws on the books when the current ones weren't followed to begin with?

For the record, I'm not an Admin. on the forum, just the site so I CAN'T censor you, but I wouldn't. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. Don't ban the kitchen like the MPAA. (strange analogy
 )I want to pay inmates in his current prison to shank that little druggy bitch who sold the guns to the guys before the shooting. They showed literally NO remorse, except for about 2 guys who they let walk away because "they liked them." Funniest thing (although nothing about it was funny) is one of them broke his nose from the recoil of his shotgun because he fired it awkwardly shooting people under a table. Killed one girl because she said she believed in god. Made a song about it. Now they have graves, one of which has "How can we ever forgive you?" etched on it. Better solution, don't forgive him and piss on his grave. I have no sympathy for these guys no matter how bullied they were, they were remorseless psychopaths and they murdered everyone in sight, no matter who they were. I wish someone would make a movie in dedication of the people murdered, but some asshole liberal director would make it all about the guns.

With the subject of school shootings, it's tragic and it happens, people snap and there are people out there who are simply just stupid and insane and wont listen to reason and lost their sanity entirely. It's all about them being in the spotlight cause no one pays attention to them before.
I think we need to enlighten everyone to the dangers and real facts about life instead of covering their ears when they start hearing something that makes the uncomfortable. Most people who makes gun laws, and even those preaching world peace can be very naive to the fact that the world isn't safe, that there are people who dont obey the law, that the police cant be everywhere, that governments can be corrupted, and it is up to us to make sure we are safe, our families are safe with our own hands and actions. I know it sounds grim that the world isn't really all about love and peace, but it's the natual way of things. We can hope for a better tomorrow, but until there is one, we keep our guards up and watch out. It's not being paranoid, it's being safe.

An article from CNN on stuff not related to gun control:
http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/04/20/...ths/index.html Must admit, some of the stuff in there did contradict my own memories of the incident (I was 13 at the time and remember it pretty well...in part because my school insisted on discussing it for like a week).

I saw articles saying some basic things told to us was a lie.
Take this for instance: In the media We hear about normal kids bullied and forced to be outsiders, being beat on and made fun of, and snapping finally. In real life, They were known as the school bullies, they were the ones beating on anyone they hated, be it any non whites or "fags." One was even deemed a sociopath after seeing a therapist. How's this for a little role reversal.

Also, part of the rumors about them being bullied (instead of bullies themselves) comes from a Columbine student who made homophobic comments and said he'd mocked them in the past.

There are jsut as many people saying H&K said homophobic stuff to them, it's just not as newsworthy i guess. We tend to get what the media wants to report. The truth about any major incident is usually hard to find unfortunately.
