Nice post did you get the CD from A Columbine site?

What's weird is that Eric and Dylan, after shooting all those kids, went into a "quiet period". They walked around aimlessly, making eye contact with many surviving students but did not shoot them. Instead they opened fire in empty rooms and threw pipe bombs at vacant spots in the hallway. It's baffled researchers why they did this. They then went back to the library, lit a rag on a molotav cocktail and when it burned down to the bottle they both took their lives. Strange shit.

They did it to scare the living shit out of people. The firing in empty rooms and pipe bombs were also used as a tactic to scare people.

I doubt it was to scare people at that point. Columbine was supposed to be a bombing, not a school shooting. I think it's more likely that the original rush and adrenaline wore off and they just didn't know where to go with it since their original plan failed. During the so-called 'quiet' phase, they tried shooting the propane bombs that they planted in the cafeteria - they were still trying to destroy the school. When that didn't happen, I think they essentially lost interest for want of a better way to put it.

Finished Sue Klebold's book a few days ago. It was interesting to hear about the other side.

I agree, they didn't really know what to do once the 'rush' wore off. They failed in their plan and had to use plan B which completely lacked any real planning.

Natural selection was their philosophy, and they wanted to even the score and demolish everyone, not people who "picked on them". Columbine started as a bombing and failed. The guns were plan B.

They were awful little shits, Harris in particular. Dylan, I think was lonely, sad.. and he became bitter, but Eric was, in my opinion, a psychopath. His diaries are very disturbing and he graphically describes his obsessive thoughts about murdering people.

I understand what you are talking about but I have watched interviews outside of the box and there were witnesses who had seen Eric and Dylan getting bullied, which is why they made these videos called hitmen for hire.

Yeah, ignore what I said. I've done much more research now and wholly regret that post.

You are correct. :)

They went to a place where every one was defenseless and killed themselves to avoid facing the cops who would and could fight back. That is a pussy.

On the surface you're right but when you dig deeper you start to understand how they lost it.

But what I'll never get is why they killed at random. Wouldn't it make more sense to kill the ones responsible for your anger and suffering? The guy who bullied them the most wasn't killed that day and they even let a well known jock live.

Their actions were very weird to say the least.

These people are animals!

No they were not. Dylan's parents had no idea what was going on in his head and knew nothing about what he was planning to do. The jury is out on the Harrises, especially the dad. He knew what Eric was like, yet he always made excuses for him. Read Brooks Brown's book. It answers a lot of questions, as well as Sue Klebold's book.
