“A lot of friends of the boys felt that Dylan Klebold was a follower, and think Eric Harris was the driving force.”

I read the book Columbine, which described how criminologists believe Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were a “criminal dyad”, with Harris a born psychopath and Klebold a depressant who followed Harris. After reading the book twice, I am persuaded by that theory. However, if anything, that theory makes Dylan Klebold an even more chilling character than Harris. A true psychopath like Harris is born bad-to-the-bone; Klebold, on the other hand, freely chose to follow along and to laugh as he and Harris shot their friends and schoolmates.

It made me sick to listen to the two cowards murder their classmates in the library as the police waited just outside the door. The police response to that shooting was a pathetic failure. It reminds me of the response to the Pettit family murders in Cheshire Ct. The police stood by and listened while victims were being murdered.
