Court To Hear Arguments On Columbine Killers’ Tapes, Diaries:

The court battle continues to make videotapes, audiotapes, and writings by Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris public. Of course, the parents of Harris and Klebold are fighting to keep these things from being released…

Wayne and Katherine Harris and Thomas and Susan Klebold argue the items are privately owned and not subject to the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act, under which a judge can consider whether to release certain documents.

“We don’t think that the government should be able to turn a citizen’s personal writings or videotapes into a public record and be able to hand it out to the media just because they seized it under a search warrant,” said Gregg Kay, a lawyer for the Klebolds.

It stopped being private property once your kids decided to kill 13 people, then it became evidence.

Jefferson County Sheriffs are also fighting to keep these sealed. I wonder what they are hiding.

Colorado’s Supreme Court will begin hearing arguments on September 13th.

Court to decide on release of Columbine killers’ tapes, diaries:

I’m actually torn on this issue. On the one hand, I hate how the media, in this case, The Denver Post, feel like they have the God-given right to have access to any and all information, no matter how detrimental it may be if it’s released to the public.

Not to mention all the mutant websites that will pop up advertising that they have all the tapes and documents available for download, which will, in turn, cause the Harris and Klebold worshiping mutants to cream their jeans over seeing videos of their heroes.

On the other hand, I think the materials should be released, so people could see just how much of a bunch of psychopaths they really were and how their parents let this all go on under their noses. I also think that every parent that has a kid in school should see the materials so they’ll realize that something like Columbine can happen anywhere at any time and, yes, even with your kid if you don’t do something about it. Unfortunately, most parents are in denial about such matters, which is a damn shame.
