So you are saying here that you trust the media reports over her parents and eye witnesses. These are people that I have met personally. Okay, believe what you will.

Um, yeah, I also met some of the people involved personally but I didn’t use that emotional crap as evidence like you did.

Nope, my point was not trusting the media but you failed to notice that. Cassie Bernall was the supposed person murdered because she was a Christian, and her parents wrote a book about it, and it was proved false. All the media exposure about how she was killed because she said she was a Christian, and then when that was proven false, it was just a blip in the news.

Her parents weren’t eye witnesses. None of the parents were eye witnesses. So yeah, I don’t believe they can give an accurate report of what happened that day.

I know a family who lost a kid at Columbine too. So don’t freakin preach to me about knowing anyone personally. It means nothing to me when it comes to facts.

These kids, who were basically adults, murdered 13 innocent people. They didn’t murder anyone because they were Christian, or an athlete, or popular or because they were taught about evolution. They didn’t murder because they were depressed, or lovelorn or angry or outcasts at school, or because their parents didn’t give them enough attention or too much attention, or because they listened to “bad” music or wore tshirts with messages on them, or because society failed them.

There were signs these two were messed up and those signs were ignored. Maybe if someone noticed, the murders could have been prevented. Coulda shoulda woulda. But with these two and others like them, probably not. Sometimes evil just happens.

So I’m saying, in case you missed it again, is that the media played up the “sensational” stories as they tend to do without any factual information. All the emotional hooks worked well...they killed the black kid cos he was black, they targeted the athletes, they were bullied, outcasts, and we’re still dealing with the legislation and zero tolerance policies because of the so called bullying, cos ya know, bullied kids will shoot up a school, and of course the anti gun legislation. Cos you know, if citizens didn’t have these awful guns then these school shootings wouldn’t happen. Do you recall the anti gun legislation, all the protests about guns, because of this incident? All because emotions were played upon.

And, I’m saying that these two are responsible for their actions (not the tshirts they wore, music they listened to, science they were taught).

I’m saying read all the transcripts, watch the videos, read about the history of these two. Maybe you have. I know I have. Maybe we will still disagree but at least we’d have all the facts and not just emotional crap.
