I don't get why everyone blamed Marilyn Manson...but I guess he made some great points in his interview afterwards because it really is the parents fault..they're just looking for someone to blame. These kids obviously needed help but no one noticed..so i guess the teachers were to blame too...

you stole that from my sig!!!!!!
and that interveiw sucked, Michael Moore blamed Clinton for it!
but that's what he does, Marilyn Manson came out great
talking about fear in advertisement too, I think the direct quote was, "buy this or they won't talk to you, wear this or she won't fuck you, then they try to scare us with the news after the commercial break and people only believe this stuff because there's fear and some one to blame"

okay, so I added the some one to blame part, but the rest was Marilyn Manson

parts of the interveiw were rehearsed (if you couldn't already tell, you should know Michael Moore rehearses interveiws) but overall it's a good interveiw (and no I don't think the president influenced them, and I do think that the scare tactic works on America....I have another quote for that, le tme go find it)

I think that it's scary in the sense that this kind of thing can happen. For example, I know a girl who went to a school in Buffalo Grove. This girl got really mad at this guy because he made a hate site for her, so she wrapped up a knife disguised as a present, and then stabbed him in the back. It's scary to know that this kind of thing can happen in your own town.

As for Columbine, I have to admit, it was a scary event. But, it made people aware that kids can get guns just as easily as adults. Marilyn Manson, contrary to popular belief, was not one of the two shooters' favorite music artists. In fact, experts think they might have disliked him.

the whole reason he was blamed was because he was in their suicide note

It all comes down to bulling. Think about it, the Columnbine kids were tortured beyond anything imaginable. Sure, they took it way to far, and it was wrong.

But think about it, if people weren't so close minded none of this would happen. All the kids that go out on a shooting spree were teased, face it.

I think it's pretty scary...I mean what if a kid brings a gun to your school and decides to shoot people? Its just sad. I don't really like to think if that would happen.

And think, if school shootings continue to occur then they will probably have to check each student like if you were entering an airplane. Which isn't fair.

Did they find a suicide note or was it on the Internet? Because the internet one is fake.

I think I understand why Eric and Dylan did what they did at Columbine. They were troubled, they needed help, and no action was taken. They were beyond help at that point. That DOES NOT mean that it was right. They killed people.

The question is, however, is WHY? Why was nothing done? Why did no one help them? The two were practically calling for help on their website, but no one seemed alarmed. These people should not be blaming the media. They should be blaming themselves.
