  • Columbine depositions to remain sealed

    Court upholds decision to keep Columbine depositions sealed:

    The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a decision that depositions given by the parents of the Columbine shooters remain sealed in the National Archives for 20 years.

    Previously U.S. District Judge Lewis T. Babcock ordered the depositions sealed after families of the victims among others had requested that the depositions be made public. The depositions were given by Wayne and Kathy Harris, the parents of Eric Harris, and Thomas and Susan Klebold, the parents of Dylan Klebold. They’re from a civil lawsuit that the family of Columbine victim Daniel Rohrbough filed against the killers’ parents.

    In the new ruling attorneys argued that since the records were made by a court that they qualify under the Federal Records Act. The court disagreed stating the depositions should have been returned to the people who made them. If that had happened I’m sure they’d be nothing but ash by now.

    Judge Babcock originally ruled that way stating that if the depositions were to be made public that would inspire a whole new generation of school shooters. I disagree. In case you haven’t noticed school shooters and would be shooters don’t need some depositions to find inspiration. You would need to erase the memories of Columbine and every school shooting since from everyone on the planet before they would no longer find inspiration. The private journals of both cowardly scumbag killers have been released and that didn’t cause an outbreak of shootings.

    Conversely, I think it would benefit greatly if the depositions were made public. We could learn from the Harrises and Klebolds mistakes in their parenting techniques on how to tell if our children are on a dangerous path like those of the killers.

    Now there will just have to be a 20-year wait for that knowledge. I still say if any school shooting deaths happen between now and then that the blood will be on the hands of Judge Babcock.

  • Closure?

    Closure?

    Gunman’s Parents Don’t Object to Seal:

    Here’s a shocker. Eric Harris’ parents, Wayne and Kathy Harris, have no problem with their depositions being sent to the National Archives for 25 years.

    Depending on the final details, Wayne and Katherine Harris do not oppose storing the depositions under seal “in order to bring closure to this matter,” their attorney, Michael Montgomery, said Wednesday in a court filing.

    Closure for who? Not the victims’ families, obviously. The Harrises don’t deserve closure. They let their psychopath son develop his deadly plan for over a year. As far as I’m concerned, they’re just as responsible for the deaths of the 13 victims at Columbine as their cowardly son is.

    The depositions should be unsealed immediately.

  • The Journals MIGHT be released

    The Journals MIGHT be released

    Sheriff plans to release Columbine killers’ diaries, not tapes:

    LITTLETON – The Jefferson County sheriff said Monday he plans to make the Columbine High School killers’ journals public, but will not release their video and audio tapes.

    The teens’ journals include expressions of anger and dissatisfaction, the filing said. It said portions with bomb-making instructions would be withheld.

    Other documents planned for release include messages Klebold and Harris wrote each other in yearbooks and Wayne Harris’ journal, the filing said. But it said the bulk of the documents were “largely irrelevant and innocuous, consisting mostly of school work.”

    Wayne Harris’ journal is the one I’m most interested in seeing. I’m curious to know just how much he did or didn’t know what was going on under his roof. Especially considering that while the shootings were going on, Wayne Harris had called 911 stating that he thought one of the shooters might have been his son.

    Realistically though, I’m sure the appeal is being worked on as we speak.

  • Court rules Columbine materials can be released

    Court rules Columbine materials can be released

    High court rules on Columbine case:

    The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that items seized from the homes of Columbine killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold can be released to the public if Jefferson County Sheriff Ted Mink deems it a benefit to the public…

    The Denver Post is seeking notes written by Wayne Harris about his son Eric and Dylan Klebold; medical records of the teenagers; the audio and videotapes they made; and their writings, including school papers, notations in the Columbine yearbook and the diaries.

    And go figure…

    Release of the items was strongly opposed by the Harris and Klebold families and by Mink, who must now decide whether to release the records.

    Hmm, I wonder why. 🙄

    Judy Brown, parent of former Columbine student Brooks Brown, applauded the ruling.

    “I think the people affected by the Columbine tragedy have every right to see every piece of information out there,” she said. “I think the court’s made the right decision.”

    Now maybe we can finally get the real story. The ball is in your court, Sheriff Mink. Will you be a man, or will you continue to hide the facts?

  • Harris House Sold

    Harris House Sold

    Parents of Columbine killer sell home:

     A little bit less than a year ago, I did an entry about the house of Eric Harris was up for sale. Well, the house has been finally sold.

    What I found funny about the article is that it states that realtors did not have to reveal that Eric Harris lived there, or that he stored his guns and bombs there before launching the Columbine massacre.

    Yet, the article mentions the name of the people who bought the house. If they didn’t know before, I’m sure they know now. I was hoping someone would bulldoze the house after they bought it, but I guess that’s not going to happen.

  • Harris House For Sale

    Harris House For Sale

    Eric Harris’ Parents Selling Home Near Columbine:

    The parents of Eric Harris have put their house up for sale. The house where guns and bombs were stored. The house where all it would have taken was for Wayne and Kathy Harris to look in on their son and Columbine would have been prevented.

    They’re asking roughly $270,000 for it. The realtor does not have to disclose what happened in the house. Two realtors are not allowed to show the property. That would be Rich Petrone, the stepfather of Danny Rohrbough who was killed at Columbine, and Randy Brown, the father of Brooks Brown who was threatened by Eric Harris.

    I wonder why they wouldn’t want those two showing the house. Maybe because this way they don’t have to look them in the eye and explain why they failed to prevent their son from killing one of theirs.

    If I had FU money, I’d buy the house and have it immediately demolished. Hopefully, someone who does have that kind of money will do the same.
