Columbine is the most overrated news event of 1999. I know I'm going to be accused for 'making light of the shootings' and I am 'not respecting the victims.' Well, Fuck you. 13 people were killed, you'd think that they killed 15 HUNDRED people with all the media coverage after the shootings.
Also check out this quote from that fucking idiot Greg Zanis: "It's the darkest moment in American history." (http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/04/20/co lum bine.03/) Are you telling me that 15 deaths is a bigger tragedy than WWI, WWII, Vietnam, Korea, and the Civil War? And nobody ever told this dumb fuck to take some history classes and learn that 15 deaths is NOTHING in the 220 year history of the United States?
And why was the 1st anniversary of the event NATIONAL news? It's certainly local news, but not national news! And I am tired of the media saying "We haven't learned much since the shootings." Yes we have: we have learned that kids who play Doom, Quake, Cops and Robbers, who wear anything black, who write scary horror stories, can identify with the killers, or own nail clippers or key chains are mass murders in the making.
I am fucking tired of all these 'Zero Tolerance' policies that are supposed to 'prevent another Columbine'. It only teaches kids that: anything can potentially be used as a weapon, kids have no rights, and every kid is a potential murderer.
We have become a society that is afraid of its own children, only because a few of us have actually killed in revenge.
That's right, I said REVENGE. It wasn't the video games, the movies, or the Internet (anybody who thinks the Internet is to blame for kids who kill is an idiot). Especially since violent movies such as Pulp Fiction are made for ADULTS, not children. It was because these kids were made fun of for years and decided that they would fight back. That's the only reason.
I suppose a lot of people that are reading this have been made fun of by their own peers. Sometimes by people who you didn't even know, but knew you. When that happened, didn't you want revenge, didn't you want to fight back, didn't you want them to beg for mercy, didn't you want to treat those pig fuckers the way they treated you? That is why Eric and Dylan killed, and that is why I cannot feel much sympathy for the victims (no, I am not condoning their actions, I can sympathyze with the killers for being treated like trash).
Crime among youth has been going down, but if you watch the news media, it seems to be going up, up, up!
Why are so many people blaming the Internet for kids killing kids? Because bomb materials can be found on it? Why?
Why isn't anybody blaming the bullies, who made fun of Eric and Dylan, for the shootings?
AND I am sick of my entertainment being edited to 'not offend anybody' or 'prevent youth violence'. I want Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker UNCUT!
Face it, people. Columbine is overrated. (If you ever find anybody who thinks otherwise, smack some sense into him or her. And be sure to smack Greg Zanis twice.)
