i don't want to sound like a freak or something...but i had the absolute creepiest nightmare about these kids. that whole event really disturbed me...I think it really speaks to just a ton of societal problems we suffer. in my nightmare, i was in the car with them on the way to school...but i was like a ghost...i was trying to talk to them...to reason with them..but they couldn't hear me...and i couldn't make them hear me...and they were so excited...they were talking about going in to the school and killing like you and I might talk about going to a Rockets playoff game (if you remember what those are like!)...the dream ended when they got out of the car...and i was stuck inside...powerless to get out and do anything about it. it haunted me for quite a while.
yeah...me too. i've read a ton about it. all sorts of failings of our society are implicated in that event. what if their parents had been more parental? what if someone had been kind to one of them the day before? what if the juvenile justice system could have been more helpful in the previous run-ins with the law eric harris had? what if...it really troubles me. 9/11 blew me away. but columbine had me reeling for a long time because i saw a much deeper story than what was evident on the surface.
