46. The Columbine Shooters

Sat Jan 12, 2013, 01:49 PM

Jan 2013

Were blowing away people that didn't know them and people that they had intimidated with their own anti-social behavior. They killed one girl after she answered, "yes" to the question of being a Christian. It wasn't a targeted attack. They, for lack of a better term, wanted to watch the world burn.

That being said, "Zero Tolerance" is a rdiculous piece of garbage. It's proper name is "Zero thought". School Administrators just punish everyone involved whether they were a victim defending themselves or a bully, or just a student who tripped across an imaginary line that they didn't know about while not harming anyone.

I have a lot of questions for Adam Lanza if he was still around. I suspect we will never see the full coroner's report for him. I think his mother should have removed the weapons from the house based on what she told her friends.
