I'm just glad those bombs didn't go off. Spared a lot of lives and spared the rest of us even more media drama.
I would have been willing to sacrifice the lives of everyone in the state of Colorado in order to eliminate the drama.

What a quirk of fate that a person in Alberta doesn't get this option.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I thought the massacre happened because they were playing Doom.

According to Michael Moore, guns did it.

Well only because the bombs chickened out.

Debunked first.

Honestly, the most surprising thing from this is that they're just coming to this conclusion now. The little bits I've heard of media mention of Columbine in the past year to two years sounded like they were already swinging in this direction.

Klebold was the typical paranoid, bullied idiot, and Harris wanted to be Hitler-lite.

Actually, no. The surprising thing is the way the article takes great pains to personify the killers and then goes ice cold to say, "It could have been worse; Harris could have made more money."
Experience bij!

Wait so they just presumed it was because they had been bullied?  Sounds like some nerdy journalists were projecting a tad.

Define Timmayish in this context.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.

yeah.  Just think of the movement to ban bombs after that.

"good thing no more people died 10 years ago" is a needless and way too caring pinkish comment. :contract:

The Hitler-lite comment got me thinking. What are the odds that Harris chose the date of the assault? April 20th was Hitler's birthday, and AFAIK 1999 would have been his 110th birthday. Maybe some weird kind of birthday present from an admirer.  :bleeding:
