Dunno if this has been posted http://slate.msn.com/id/2099203/ The Depressive and the Psychopath At last we know why the Columbine killers did it. By Dave Cullen . . .
Thanks for posting that, Woofer. That event really played on me for a long time. Still does sometimes. It seems to be a picture of hell. That frightens me.
That is utterly fascinating. The depths to which we simply do not fully understand the human psyche is alternately amazing and terrifying.
interesting stuff. i always just assumed it was a bully thing but i never knew all that other stuff about harris.
I've actually done a lot of reading on this topic (Columbine) and this article seems to be right on. These kids truly believed they were 'above' other humans. The part about Harris lying was right on. Part of the 'fun' of what they did (in their minds) was covering it up for 2 years before they did it. They got off on it. On their videos, they bragged about no one suspecting anything, not even their parents. If any good can come from all of this, it's that there weren't more people killed. They had planned on wiping out the whole school. If the two bombs they planted in the cafateriea had worked properly, they very well might have done it...
