Columbine killings

Anyone see it?

 

Pretty disturbing viewing like, it reconstructed the events back in 1999 and included home video footage of the 2 killers talking about what they were gonna do. Also had interviews with survivors.

 

Apparently police policy back then was to wait outside the building while the gunshots were ringing out and innocent school kids were dying. Unbelievable, needless to say they reviewed their policy after this tradgedy. Took them 3 hours to reach a teacher on the top floor who'd been shot twice in each shoulder and who subsequently died in the next day.

 

As each student was shot they named them and put what the outcome of their shooting was, those that died they put their photo up with their age, the youngest being 14. The reconstruction showed a teacher in the library ordering pupils to hide under their desks, however witnesses claimed a fire door was open at one end and could have been used to escape. Also witnesses recounted that police stationed themselves outside this fire door and stood and listended as student were killed, paralysed and maimed as the killers went round each desk shooting their victims at close range!

I can't remember what the motivation for the killings was...What was the background?

'The Trenchcoat Mafia' wasn't it? Basically Old Eldon Square with access to guns.

HP will be along in a minute saying they had tough childhoods and such...

 

 

(safety wink).

 

Surprised you didn't come up with your own motivation rather than asking for the facts.

 

There's no evidence for it but these kids were definately motivated by racism. What other reason can there be for a dispute? [/Parky]
