COLUMBINE'S ANNIVERSARY
Most of us now about the tragedy that happened on April 20 1999. Today its the 8th anniversary. I just felt like I needed to remark this day after everything that has happened (Virginia Tech, and all the bomb warnings) I don't know whats going on. I don't really know much about the Virginia Tech but I saw it on the papers it was everywhere it made me feel sick. But Columbine I know about that one, I've been doing research. Alot of research.
I gave no importance to it, I dont think I even knew til I was 11 and I watched "Bowling for Columbine" It hit me then.
To this day its a subject that really hits me badly, I mean I'm researching and this time line that shows the events fuck it its just so terrible.
Its the third worst school shooting in the U.S.A. history.
Two teenagers entered their school and killed 12 students and one teacher, 24 wounded others and then they commited suicide.
Two teenagers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold..
Their dairys had every detail, it was planned very well planned. It appears that the original day for the masacre was April 19 but they apparently they had problems with one of the bombs.
They calculated the time 11:17 was when more students were at the cafeteria.
They had automatic weapons they got them easily. Just as anyone can get guns this days. After 8 years just a few days ago there was another shooting the worst in U.S.A history..
Basically they brought explosives to the cafeteria, they sat and watch the explotions, they entered and shot the ones they could. Teachers or students. They went on and on..Gymnasium, the auditorium, the business wing, the music rooms, the science area and the business offices.
The library too..
Then they shot themselves. The things that happened are many.. here are some that really Impressed me:
I chose the primary time line the 911 calls because they impress me as hell
11:25Patti Nielson calls 911 from libraryreporting shoots outside the library
11:25 a.m. 911 Caller on the library instructs students to get on the floor
11:26 a.m.911 caller instructs students to hide under the tables
11:26 a.m.Several shoots are heard outside the library
11:27 a.m Patti Nielson advices one shooter is just outside the library
11:27 a.m. reports of hand grenades and guns being used by suspects, and bombs being thrown on the roof.
11:28 students reported injured in school yard
11:29 a.m. Eric Hariis and Dylan Klebold walk into the library, shots are fired a male voice yells "Get Up!"
11:30 a.m. Caller droped the phone receiver
11:31 a.m. gunman yells "yahoo"
11:32a.m. Dylan Klebold says "Reb"
Eric Harris answers "yeah"
Klebold says "shit yeah"
this is followed by numerous rapid gun shots
11:33 a.m. Female screams "Oh my god, no.. Oh my god help me!"
11:36 a.m. Dylan Klebold says "Reb ya ready?"
11:37 a.m.explotions can be heard outside the library
11:38 a.m.911 reports of shooter in the cafeteria
11:46 a.m. explosion, gunfire, and screaming can be heard at distance
11:48 a.m. an explosion can be heard at distance
11:51 a.m. 911 call from library terminated by dispatch
11:53 a.m. 911 call from school secretary reporting shots fired in the office

Alot happened after, a movie, a book, tears... Yet no one can honestly say they know why.
Marilyn Manson's music was blamed. Where lays the blame on the goberment that has killed the biggest amount of people? On the society that never gives a chance? On the families? Students? Teachers? Everyone? No one?
My guess we all have the blame even if you weren't born we come from generations that had mayorly fucked it all up. Its our chance to change this world, this society, this tragedy.That same day America gave the order to send a bomb that killed thousands and thousands, more blames, more shit. Its all on Bowling for Columbine. You should really watch it.
One thing of the aftermath I'd like to point out is that when Marilyn Manson was interviewed, he was asked:
"If you would have met them what would you have told them"
"I would have told them nothing, I would have listened to them"
I havent watched all the videos or heard all the recordings and I seriously dont think I can manage to.. Its just to much
So I want to ask all you people on GSB that when yr time zone gets to 11:00 pm would you please share a minute of silence?
For all the victims, the parents, the teachers, and everyone of that school. Each and every of the people that had to evacuate, the ones that called 911, the ones that were shot, the ones that saw their friends being shot, the ones that begged for their lifes, the ones that hid under tables, and yes even Eric and Dylan...
Because despite all the hate all the suffering they provoqued, they must have went througha hell lot of it, healthy people don't do that.
I don't know what led them to do such thing, I don't think no one really knows, but I don't think anyone listened to them. And they died to, they performed their own tragedy, maybe in fear of oblition. I really don't know but they clearly were dead when they did this.
And they deserve a minute of silence too...

Minute of silence, today?
Yeah, I'll do that.
Vicious.., April 21st, 2007 at 04:29:24pm
I remember that. It happened when I was nine years old, in third grade.
Damn, just.... that's sick.
Funky Platypus, April 21st, 2007 at 01:35:00pm
I feel like an idiot. I didn't do the minute of silence! T_T
Meski, April 21st, 2007 at 05:42:36am
Oh yes.
I will take that minuts of silence.
germma margaret!, April 21st, 2007 at 01:14:36am
I actually found Bowling For Columbine had many many errors.
Yes, I will take a moment of silence at 11.
Sara., April 20th, 2007 at 10:57:11pm
really? thats so f*cked that just shouldnt be legal to censure a song for its polemic content its fascist
Dumbfuck, April 20th, 2007 at 10:56:17pm
Did you know that The Nobodies is seriously censored on MTV?
"Some children died the other day
We fed machines and then we prayed
Puked up and down in morbid faith

that whole verse is chopped up and edited. its disgusting. A song trying to address these issues gets censored. That's America for you, ignore and silence the problems that are hard to fix.
Kurtni, April 20th, 2007 at 10:51:37pm
it s hirrible how that happens. Nothing like that has happened in my area. But i hope they dont happen again.
Vegemite, April 20th, 2007 at 10:30:53pm
Read up on this yesterday its horrible.
my school was on the news yesterday cause 3 black girls taunted my friend who was asian and he threatened saying he would shoot up all the black people
Yes i know Columbine wasn't just cause they were bullied, but it shows on easily people can be drove over the edge
strummer92, April 20th, 2007 at 10:26:37pm
I've always wondered since seeing Bowling For Columbine..
That if they have all this false confidence .. but.. inside they were terrified.
They wanted to show that they were 'men'.
And if they didn't..
They were obviously dead on the inside.
It's disgusting.
germma margaret!, April 20th, 2007 at 10:07:58pm
gehh...this kind of stuff makes me affraid to go to school
-sighs-
flyday, April 20th, 2007 at 10:07:31pm
Oh my gosh.. I don't know. It's so horrible when things like this happen. Innocent people have their lives taken away for no good reason. Everyone should have the right to feel safe at school, but now because of these disasters things can continue to get worse.
threeam., April 20th, 2007 at 10:00:25pm
I know I hate this things the world is so f*cked up. This things just freak me out I panik
Dumbfuck, April 20th, 2007 at 09:58:42pm
My city's been hit with two deadly school shootings in the last 18 years.
First one, the deadliest, was the Polytechnique massacre. A guy entered the school, made the men leave the school and he shot 14 women then killed himself. He hated women.
But the last one was in september. This year. So you can imagine how many bad memories that brings. It also happened in a school near my house. It was mayhem. ''Luckily'', ''only'' one person died in that one. But still.
...when it hits too close to home.
stilinski, April 20th, 2007 at 09:55:11pm
its awful but we wecan make a better world pliz start by taking the silence min
