    Do they have birthdays in hell?

    Wow. It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. I’ve been really slacking off in my duties.

    Anyway, while I was lurking in the valley of the shadow of the mutants I came across a German website dedicated to the two cowardly scumbags Columbine killers, Harris and Klebold.

    The site is mainly in German (duh) and I’m sorry I’m not as continental as you, but I don’t speak German. However, there is some English on the site, and it’s in a section where mutants have bid birthday wishes to Harris and Klebold. Here are just some of the selections…

    Hey Eric,
    Happy Birthday! I cant wait until we meet in death. I’m sure your kickin it with Dylan and maybe Jeff right now. Your my hero, you and Dylan had the balls to what I can probally never do. Yes I could kill someone, but to pull a mass murder and then have the curage to let your lives go. I bow down to you for that. Not for leting yourself go, but doing what maybe everyone wants to do at some piont. Sometimes I swear I can feel you near me. But then again it could be my imangination that I want to know and be with you so badly. I think everyone here does. Dylan was right you guys are fucking god like.

    RIP Eric. I will always be by your side, and I love you.

    Wazzup, D? Mmm.. I have no idea how to go about this. I’ve never written to a dead person before -especially not one as controversial as you. But I suppose I could just write what I feel.. So, as you predicted, you and Eric did have followers, and I suppose I fit into that category. I’m still trying my best to just accept it, but it’s not that easy. But you know what I’ve been thinking? I want to be you. I want that so much sometimes. I wish I had the courage to just act out my emotions. Some would argue that the difference between you and me is that I’m not stupid enough to act it out, and they’re probably right. But still.. The rush you must have felt is something I crave. I want it. I need it. But I can never have it. It would be such a bad idea. But oh, how I wish it was me in the library next to Eric resting quietly on his knee. If only you could have seen the chaos. What a birthday present, huh?

    ***

    Happy 23rd Birthday Dylan! Though We Never Met, I Still Care About You. You Will Be Remembered And Will Be In My Prayers 4-Ever. I Don’t See You As The Mean Person The Media Has Made You Out To Be- You’re Simply The Sweet, Shy, Nice Guy That I See. On Your Behalf I Will Blow Out A Candle 4 You On This Very Special Day- I Wish You The Best And May You Rest In Peace.

    Lots Of Love,
    Cindy

    I’d like to say parents, these could be your kids, but truth be told, some of these people are actually adults and that truly is scary.

  • The Watchlist: Society Kills

    The Watchlist: Society Kills

    No news tonight, so it’s time for another episode of The Watchlist. To refresh your memory, The Watchlist is a catalog of websites that either praise, worship or sympathize the Columbine killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. I download them and save them to not only to let parents, law enforcement, and anyone else know that kids and possibly even adults like this actually exist, but to also serve the mutants a warning that they are being watched.

    Tonight’s Watchlist site brings us this little morsel…

    This is Eric Harris and below, although just as worthy, Dylan Klebold. A few years ago, I’m sure you’ve heard, Martyrs Eric and Dylan went to thier school at columbine and began a killing spree. Sometimes labelled as “evil” or “bad” or “monsters” by a people addicted to myths and lies, they revealed some powerful Truths, both at home and at Columbine. There was absolutely nothing “wrong”, “evil” or “insane” about thier mass murder actions. They were a reflection of Eric and Dylan’s True-Realities, and society has the responsibility on its shoulders.

    On that site, there are similar tributes to Ted Bundy, Charles Manson, The Green River Killer, Timothy McVeigh, and Jeffrey Dahmer. Most with the same running theme that “society” is to blame. I guess we’re supposed to stop society before it kills again.

    They were not martyrs. They were cowards who were responsible for their own actions, but didn’t have the guts to face the consequences.

    Remember, parents, this could be your kid. Hell, it could even be your spouse.

    You have been served noticed. You are being watched.

  • Follow-Up Monday

    Follow-Up Monday

    Now, following up on the reaction to the Klebold interview…

    Columbine parents outraged:
    As expected, more parents of Columbine victims are outraged over the comments by Dylan Klebold’s parents.

    From Don Fleming, whose daughter Kelly was killed…

    “The Klebolds are totally disgusting,” Fleming said Sunday. “They’re saying ‘We really regret missing the warning signs, but we did nothing wrong.’ That’s a contradiction.”

    “They don’t think they’re responsible for anyone,” he said.

    “For as highly educated as they are, they thought this couldn’t happen to their son. They’re elitists. They thought this was something white trash would carry out.”

    From Phyllis and Al Velasquez, whose son Kyle was killed…

    “I vented to Al as I read the whole thing,” Phyllis Velasquez said. “I can’t say a whole lot nice about the Klebolds, and it’s not just the (New York Times) article. It’s the depositions. The Klebolds are clueless.”

    The Velasquezes also took exception to Susan Klebold’s comment about a “toxic culture” at Columbine that included jock worship and the tolerance of bullying.

    “I’m tired of that excuse,” Phyllis Velasquez said.

    She pointed out that her son had learning disabilities, was overweight and was bullied, but didn’t kill his classmates in retaliation.

    And lastly, which I think sums it all up concisely from Don Fleming again…

    “To face this bravely and honorably, they would go out and talk about what was wrong with their son. They won’t do that. They’re cowards.”

    Like parents like son. Cowards.

  • No Apologies

    No Apologies

    A few weeks ago, a columnist named David Brooks for the New York Times wrote this column which is basically just him agreeing with this column by Dave Cullen.

    Mr. Brooks then started receiving E-mails from Tom Klebold, Dylan Klebold’s father, which led to this piece in Saturday’s New York Times.

    In it, the Klebolds refuse to apologize for what happened. Susan Klebold even goes as far to say, “I haven’t done anything for which I need forgiveness.” They also describe the day of the shootings as “a natural disaster” and the Klebold’s discuss the day as a suicide and not as a day when 13 random people were killed. Two quotes from the NY Times article jumped out at me…

    They believe that what they call the “toxic culture” of the school — the worship of jocks and the tolerance of bullying — is the primary force that set Dylan off. But they confess that in the main, they have no explanation.

    Yet, they didn’t kill any jocks, and I have yet to hear of the names of any jocks who allegedly bullied them. And then there was this…

    “I’m a quantitative person,” said Tom, a former geophysicist. “We’re not qualified to sort this out.” They long for some authoritative study that will provide an answer. “People need to understand,” Tom said, “this could have happened to them.”

    So it sounds like to me that they’re willing to let other people raise their child. People like Eric Harris. The impression I get is that the Klebolds are very self-absorbed. They must be to have missed obvious warning signs, which they regrettably admit…

    “He was hopeless. We didn’t realize it until after the end,” Tom said. Susan added: “I think he suffered horribly before he died. For not seeing that, I will never forgive myself.”

    Suffered horribly? At least he knew that he was going to die that day. 13 other people weren’t afforded such a luxury.

    As expected, parents of the true victims are not happy…

    “I’m horrified,” Dawn Anna, whose daughter Lauren Townsend was killed at Columbine, told The Associated Press. “I wanted an apology. I wanted a contribution to help us understand why it happened, so that it would never happen again. I didn’t hear it.”

    Brian Rohrbough, father of victim Daniel Rohrbough, said he was outraged that the Klebolds likened the day of the shootings to a natural disaster in the interview with Brooks.

    The best quote to sum this all up also comes from Brian Rohrbough who said…

    “This was murder,” he said. “In my opinion, what went on in their home led to Columbine.”

    Now if only the Klebold’s would pull their heads out of the sand and realize that.

  • Columbine Report Released

    Columbine Report Released

    Cops Had Many Contacts With Columbine Killers:

    15 to be exact, according to the report. I mean, what more could be said that I haven’t already said about this? If the police had 15 contacts with scumbags Harris and Klebold how many of those 15 times were the parents notified? And out of all the times the parents were notified, how many times did they choose to do something?

    Do I blame the police? Probably not. Even if the search warrant was executed in 1998, I don’t think that would have changed anything. Having said that, I still think Columbine could have been prevented if their parents had just been a little more involved in their lives. If they had just checked up on their own damn kids, none of this would have happened. A casual search of their own property would have turned everything up.

    Then again, even if their parents had found the guns and explosives, would they have even done anything about it then?

  • Columbine Rampart Range Tape Released

    Columbine Rampart Range Tape Released

    Columbine Killers Documented Training on Tape:

    A videotape of the two cowardly Columbine Killers, Harris and Klebold, was released today, showing them shooting bowling pins and talking about what it would be like to kill real people. The tape was made 6 weeks prior to the Columbine massacre. Let me just quote the article…

    The disturbing, 15-minute tape shows Klebold, Harris, another young man and a young woman doing target practice at a makeshift shooting range in a forested area in Douglas County, Colo.

    The group can be seen firing several rounds from rifles, shotguns and a 9 mm semiautomatic pistol at bowling pins, trees, and other targets. Police said some of the weapons were used in the Columbine attack.

    They can be heard laughing, joking and making cavalier comments about what it would be like if the bowling pins were human heads or bodies.

    The video, taken on a shaky handheld camera on a snow-covered hillside in a national forest southwest of Denver, is the first made by the gunmen themselves to be released to the public.

    Klebold at one point holds a sawed-off shotgun and shoots from the hip at a bowling pin wedged between two tree limbs. He and Harris then look at a bullet-shredded tree trunk.

    Harris also blows across the muzzle of a shotgun like a gunslinger. At least four different weapons are used in the tape.

    And the best one of all…

    The videotape has never before been made public, though Brooks Brown, one of Klebold’s friends and the son of Judy and Randy Brown, told Fox News that several people had told him the tape was shown before the massacre in Harris’ and Klebold’s video class.

    How many more signs did they need? This will go down in history as the most preventable tragedy of our time. I mean, between Eric Harris’ journal, his problems with the law, and now this? How much more fucking obvious could it have been to their parents? All they had to do was look in their garage. If they had, more than 13 people would be alive today instead of just being memories. But with any luck, Harris and Klebold would have killed themselves anyway.

  • Columbine Death Photos

    Columbine Death Photos

    What’s the word for more pissed than pissed? You know, I don’t like to post twice in one day, so I must really be pissed. And you know what? You’re damn right, I’m pissed.

    Check out this article from Fox News. The lowest of the low in national media, The National Enquirer, has gotten their filthy paws on crime scene photos of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the Columbine gunmen. The pictures are of the two of them lying side by side after they killed themselves. What is the point in this? Do we really need to see their corpses? Do the families of the victims need to have this dragged back into the limelight? I guess I’ll be getting more hits again from mutants looking for more death photos. The Enquirer has reached a new low even for them. There is no reason why these pictures need to be published. Except to sell issues and make money by appealing to the lowest of all audiences.

    On the Enquirer website they say that the pictures show that they did not kill themselves, but Harris shot Klebold. Now, according to the Fox News article, other media outlets have the photos but refuse to print them. Now if the photos actually suggested that Harris shot Klebold I think a more legitimate media outlet (if there is such a thing) would have already reported that. The site also goes on to say…

    Our issue that goes on sale Friday reveals a top legal authority’s penetrating analysis of the never-before-seen photos, tells why legal, religious and medical experts and even parents of some of the Columbine victims are applauding the publication of the photos… and more!

    Please. No respectable religious, medical, or legal leaders would see any reason for the publication of these photos. And I seriously doubt any of the parents want these pictures published. I’m sure they’re more concerned about trying to get on with their lives. I’m sure they relive that day enough without having more reminders.

    No one should profit from the death of others. And the Enquirer is not only profiting off the deaths of Harris and Klebold, but off the other victims as well. Like I’ve said before, the Son of Sam law prevents murderers from profiting off their crimes. There also should be a law that prohibits making money from other people’s deaths. This is not free speech. This is just abuse of the Constitution. I will not buy this issue. I will not look at these photos. And if you do? Well, you just made yourself a little bit more stupid.
