Once this became widely known, the media of course tried to downplay the connection. They were not about to let this courageous young girl become a heroine. Especially if it turned out that she was martyred for her faith.
I thought it was Cassie Bernell (may have the spelling wrong) who was killed at Columbine for her faith? Were there several? Even as recently as last week during the 10th anniversary, I heard Shep Smith saying how it was all BS that anyone was killed at Columbine for their faith.
The Media played up a connection that never existed. 10 yrs later, the fake connection as well as speculation that Harris and Klebold were “bullied” is still false and still being perpetuated.
She wasn’t martyred for her Faith.
