I read that you had recently patched things up with Eric. Can you explain to us the circumstances of your mending that friendship? And what you think would have happened if you hadn't recently become friends again.

After our junion year we hadn't talked. I assumed he had gotten in trouble for the stuff my family had reported him for, and that he stillh ated me. We had a class together for the last semester of school (january before the shooting) and we were assigned to sit next to eachother. After a week of the awkward stress, I asked him to bury the hatchet. He agreed.

We didn't spend a ton of time together after that - we would ditch class and go to ihop or mcdonalds once in a while. But I think he would have shot me if that hadn't happened.

My mom thinks that he didn't shoot me because it would have alerted the other kids. So he let me go. I prefer thinking my version is true. Helps me sleep. Post 2:

Could you give examples of the bullying culture at columbine at the time? I went to a HS in westminster, co when the shooting was happening and at the time it hit close because I was the same age.

Lets see. One that stands out was covering the cafeteria floor in baby oil and laughing as people fell and hurt themselves, and throwing smaller kids into others like 'bowling'. more than a few injuries, but two guys got suspended for a day, so that's just.

Personally? Walking down the street and having a passing car full of jocks whip a baseball at the back of my head. hilarious, right? Post 3:

If you could go back and do anything over again- ranging from when you first met the killers, to when you were making the police reports, to the day of the massacre- what would you have done differently?

In other words, what advice can you give us for preventative intervention should we ever be in the shoes you were in?

My dad and I have talked about this a lot. 17 times we reported stuff to the police. We went to Erics parents. Dylans too. The police even told us they were taking care of it, and I heard through a friend that Eric had gotten in big shit with the police. So we thought it worked. turns out it was totally unrelated.

Don't know what else I could have done. The good news is that cops take this shit seriously now. So that's a consolation. Post 4:

I've heard that Eric and Dylan were both neo-nazi sympathizers.

Do you think they were genuinely racist, did they identify with Hitler's experience of being an outcast, or did they just think nazis were kind of cool? How much do you think neo-nazi ideology played into their actions? Or is all of this misinformation the media propagated to add drama and vilify Eric and Dylan?

Always wondered about it, never had anyone knowledgeable to direct my question to- Thanks in advance.

(edited to make clearer)

Never experience more than them being nazi just to offend people. They liked ruffling peoples feathers, and so did I. I was a die-hard Any Rand fan (IN HIGH SCHOOL NOT ANYMORE_ just so I could argue with people.

Was it something they really believed? Not that I experienced, but I also didn't think they'd shoot a bunch of people. Post 5:

What outside factors do you think contributed to it? Family life/games/music/bullying/mental health/etc?

Or1g1nal1ty202 karma4/20/2011, 1:28:16 PM

Many. Bullying, the school administration, parents, the culture we live in, etc. Some are bigger factors than others, and they rarely come together just right - that 'perfect storm' of factors - to allow this to happen. That's why it is exceedingly rare.

Top two? Bullying and mental health. Eric was on Luvox and wrote about how he'd go on and off his drug often to gain 'greater self-awareness'. That's not healthy. Couple that with being the bottom rung of the school shit-list, and it's a bad thing.

should i ask to bite him teehee..

i need to bite his flesh off of his body hes so cute
