    5/5/06 From The Mail Sack: A Survivor’s Opinion

    I received comments today from someone claiming to be Columbine survivor Richard Castaldo on my entry about Dylan Klebold’s car being up for auction. I have no reason to doubt that claim. Here’s what he had to say…

    i saw some shit on the news about people having websites paying tribute to the assholes that did this shit, and it bothered me for obvious reasons. so i hope people would be disuaded to do fucked up shit by this site and others like it. And its completely fucking ridiculous to admire what they did in any way. In contrast to popular opinion a lot of people that were shot didn’t do a god-damn thing to these fucks (me included). I have no idea why you’d admire dipshits wwhod kill people over absolutlely nothing. snd what thy did was definatley in no way noble and in no way brave, as they claimed. it doesn;t take shit to kill someone who isn’t expecting ir and with no armor. so i dont know what the hell that proves other than what pussies they really were. REal men would never think of doing something like that. And they brought being nade fun of on themselves, i saw them a couple times and they acteed like they were above it all. oh, and its also moronic to blame games and music and whatnot. cause i play and lisen to the exact same stuff, and am not negatively effected in any way.

    I hope the mutants were paying attention.

  • Never forget the monsters

    Never forget the monsters

    Letter: Use of names in Columbine column could mislead others into repeating actions:

    This is a letter to the paper of Kansas State University. I don’t know the original article the author is referring to, but it seems like it had something to do with the Columbine anniversary last week. Anyway, this is a person after my own heart…

    Editor,

    I was appalled at Thursday’s column on the shooting at Columbine High School. The apparent lack of respect displayed by the article was very upsetting for me.

    The author states that these individuals were not monsters; only their acts were monstrous. The minute these young men brought guns into a school and started shooting, they became monsters.

    Another misstep by the author was the inclusion of their names. The names have been enshrined on Websites by other misguided youths, and have given them people to rally behind. The acts of those two individuals should never be forgotten, but their names should drift into obscurity.

    I attended a school that was a middle-class, white suburban school just like Columbine, located on the opposite side of Denver.

    My school was hit very hard by the reality of what happened, and how it easily could have been us. I did see the memorial that was set up shortly after the shooting and have never been anywhere so quiet, and yet the expressions of the people said so much.

    On April 20, 1999, our schools felt less safe, and a community was trying to find answers as to why kids were killing other kids. A discussion of the reasons why two kids turned into monsters should be held. The discussion should never not include the great pain a community felt and the terror the students and faculty felt.

    I do disagree on one point. The names of Harris and Klebold, scumbags that they are, should be remembered. If you forget the names of history’s monsters, it will only be a matter of time before their crimes against humanity are forgotten too.

  • Evidence Item No. 201

    Evidence Item No. 201

    Hiding in Plain Sight:

    This is a great article about the still yet to be released evidence that was seized from the Harris household after the Columbine shooting. It has the usual information about The Basement Tapes, and Harris’ writings, and an alleged police cover-up regarding their prior contact with Harris. But this article enlightened me to something I had previously not known about what was in that evidence, Evidence item no. 201…

    But the most intriguing, hush-hush item from the Harris home is probably evidence item No. 201, a green steno book found in a desk drawer. The book doesn’t belong to Eric or God but to Wayne Harris, who used it to write down various matters concerning his son’s mental health, errant behavior and interactions with neighbors and authorities. As a result of the confidential settlements reached in lawsuits brought against the Harrises and Klebolds by some victims’ families, virtually everyone who’s ever seen the steno book can’t comment on its contents.

    We do know one thing about item No. 201: It documents more contacts between the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and the Harrises over their son’s behavior years before the shooting than the sheriff’s office has ever acknowledged. In 2004, investigators working for the state attorney general’s office used the steno book to track a complaint against Eric that dated back to 1997, a case for which the department paperwork had disappeared. The deputy on the case, Tim Walsh, was the same officer who arrested Harris and Klebold for breaking into a van in 1998; interviewed by investigators after the shootings in 1999, Walsh made no mention of the 1997 case.

    Jefferson County Sheriff Ted Mink said he will make a decision about releasing the materials after the anniversary of Columbine.

  • The Myth Spreads Like Cancer III

    The Myth Spreads Like Cancer III

    Schools learn bullying can plant seed for tragedy:

    Yet another article that’s designed to garner sympathy for school shooters and would be school shooters because they were allegedly bullied.

    While, of course, I think bullying is a problem, there’s a big difference between bullying and killing. And like I keep saying, all these Columbine wannabes are taking the focus away from bullying and putting it on identifying would be school shooters.

    Anyway, back to my main point. As usual, the article is rife with inaccuracies…

    The massacre at Columbine High School outside Denver on April 20, 1999, was the deadliest school shooting on record. Two teenagers, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, who dressed in Goth attire and felt like misfits, went on a rampage that left 13 dead and 24 wounded before killing themselves.

    Wrong. They were not goths, they had plenty of friends, and most importantly, they were bullies themselves. One only needs to go as far as this to learn the truth.

    And secondly…

    For instance, a 16-year-old who went on a rampage that left eight dead at a high school in Red Lake, Minn., a year ago fit the profile. School personnel described him as a loner who wore black and routinely was teased.

    Wrong again. Weise may have been teased, but when you’re a self-proclaimed Nazi you’re kind of inviting it on yourself. Not only that, but I read more than one report that said Weise used to bully kids who listened to rap.

    But hey, let’s not let facts get in the way of “journalism”.

  • Mr. Thompson Goes to Delaware

    Mr. Thompson Goes to Delaware

    Bill would limit sale of video games:

    Our favorite idiot lawyer from Florida is on the move again. This time he’s in Delaware trying to help State Rep. Helene Keeley, D-Wilmington South, get a law passed that would restrict businesses from selling M-rated games to minors. Never mind the fact that most legitimate stores won’t sell M-Rated games to anyone under 18 and that the majority of kids who get these games are getting through their parents. Jack never lets facts get in his way. Like this little nugget of misinformation from Jack…

    Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the Colorado teens who massacred 13 of their fellow Columbine High School students in 1999, “literally trained on the game ‘Doom,’ ” Thompson said.

    Sure, they did Jack. Just forget all those tapes they made, showing them at a homemade target practice. I myself, and millions of other people, have played Doom and never picked up a gun in anger but again let’s not let facts get in the way.

    Jack also had this to say about the free speech ramifications…

    Thompson, meanwhile, said the First Amendment debate is misplaced.

    “This isn’t even speech,” Thompson said, holding up a video-game display box. “This is software that enables a machine to allow a player to play a game.”

    Does he really believe the lies that he’s spewing forth?

    When will politicians, especially Democrats, stop getting in bed with this assclown? It’s making them look worse than they already are.

    While doing some research on MySpace, I came across the MySpace of a 16-year-old girl who claims to be from “Fuck, New Jersey”.

    So right off the bat, I know I’m dealing with someone who has a ton of class. What also caught my eye is that her MySpace opened up with “Bang, Bang, Your Fucked. “RIP REB and VODKA 4.20.99”.

    So now it’s obvious she’s just another mutant. And then there was some more ranting on her MySpace…

    For those who read how I like Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold I don’t care if you hate them because I like what I like deal with it. I do not also have to tell you why I am interested.

    Again I ask do the parents not know or do they just not care?

  • SOME of the money from Klebold car auction to go to charity

    SOME of the money from Klebold car auction to go to charity

    The assclowns who are trying to make blood money by auctioning off Columbine killer Dylan Klebold’s car are stating that they are going to donate some money to the Columbine Memorial fund…

    The Columbine Memorial charity is definitely 100% the one we’ll donate to. I’m thinking somewhere along the lines of 10% of the winning price, but I still have to talk it over with my buddy. I can promise at least $1000 to your charity once this thing sells.

    Right now, the bidding is up to $23,000 for a 24-year-old car. Let’s assume that the bid is legit. That’s probably at least $18K in profit. I think if they make that kind of money they can afford to donate more than 10%.

    More on the Klebold car auction

    Columbine BMW back up for sale:

    Autoblog seems to share my opinion of the auctioning of Dylan Klebold’s BMW…

    We had reservations doing another post on the sale of Dylan Klebold’s BMW because it’s such a disgusting tale, but hopefully it leads not to more bids for its purchase but more outrage that someone would use the car’s notorious history for financial gain.

    After having their auction of the 1983 BMW 320i removed from eBay at the site’s insistence, the owners of the vehicle have constructed his own site for the purpose of selling the car.

    The unidentified sellers insist that the car’s sale is in no way meant to trivialize the tragedy. That claim is hard to believe considering the auction will end on April 20th, the anniversary of the school shooting, and that the owners may publish a “Best of” section on their site highlighting some of the hate mail they’ve received.

    Couldn’t have put it better myself.

    Autoblog also has information on how the car ended up in the seller’s hands…

    How did the BMW end up in the hands of such people, you may ask? Klebold’s parents donated it to Vehicles for Charity, which then sold it at auction.

    Sorry for the direct copy and paste Autoblog, but the post was too good to shorten.

    And last time I checked the bidding was up to $9200.00.

  • Klebold’s car back on the auction block

    Klebold’s car back on the auction block

    Columbine killer’s car back on the market:

    The assclown who was trying to sell Dylan Klebold’s BMW on eBay has now set up an auction site just to sell the car…

    A man who responded to a Rocky Mountain News inquiry to the seller’s Web site said he and a friend are selling the vehicle, but that they never intended to make money “off the victims or their families.”

    “It’s just trying to make the most of it and get rid of it,” said the caller, who declined to give his name.

    He said his friend had bought the car and “doesn’t want to just trash it. . . . So we want to try and recoup those costs, and if we make a few bucks on top of it, so be it.”

    So if you’re not trying to make money off the victims or not attempting to trivialize Columbine, then why are you advertising it as Dylan Klebold’s car?

    I’m not going to go on a long rant about this. I just have some advice for the guys trying to sell the car. Keep the money you paid for the car. If you make any profit, I would suggest donating it to charity because karma can be a bitch, as they say.

    If I had the money, I’d buy it myself so I could trash it and send it to the pits of hell to be reunited with its owner.

  • Klebold’s car on eBay

    Klebold’s car on eBay

    Klebold Columbine Car Pulled From Online Auction:

    The car that once belonged to Columbine killer and scumbag Dylan Klebold, which was carrying explosives the day of the massacre, was almost auctioned off on eBay.

    The auctioned was pulled from eBay for violating their terms of service in regard to “murderabilia”.

    The car was turned back over to Klebold’s parents a year later and its ownership after that point was not known.

    The seller of the car did not respond to e-mails from the Rocky Mountain News seeking comment but posted a comment earlier on eBay that the vehicle was purchased without knowing the previous ownership.

    “Once I found out it was Klebold’s I put it up here,” the seller wrote. He indicated the car is still in the Denver area.

    I wonder how many of the mutants will make the trek to Denver to try to find this car so they can live out their mutant masturbatory fantasies.

    Speaking of the mutants, this is what some of them had to say about the car being auctioned off…

    omg thats horrible. i wouldn’t buy it i might get haunted by dylan because it’s his personal belonging. i hear if you have personal belonging of a deceased person they will followyou around and haunt you. don’t know if it’s tue or not..

    All righty then. 🙄

    And then there was this…

    What are you all fussing about?! I *so* would have bought it if I could have! And most of you would be lying if you said you didn’t want it!

    There was no word if any of the female mutants wanted to conceive Klebold’s ghost babies in it.
