[ 32 ] Zero Hour

Feeling: depressed
5 . 10 pm They saved lives? They let others die. So today, my friend and I watched this Discovery thing on the Columbine Massacre in 1999. It was so sad! These two guys decided to bomb and shoot their school. One of them was more outcasted, but the other one had friends. He wasn't hated. But still, they took revenge on their school and killed innocent kids. Including a teacher that was trying to save them. All the while, police were outside, surrounding the school, and they never once made a gesture to go inside. "Oh, we saved lives!" they said. They didn't save the kids that died. It doesnt matter what they said. There's no excuse for it. I mean, I would have been scared too, but if I was a police officer, I wouldn't have gone into that line of work if I hadn't been willing to sacrifice myself for someone else, ESPECIALLY a kid. So now I'm scared to go to school this fall, because I've never heard anything good about the school I'm going to. The worst part was, these kids didn't get punished for it, unless you consider taking their lives punishment. I call it the easy way out. Just because they didn't make friends, they took it out on the students at their school. Whatever. It was just too depressing. I blame their parents and the media. I mean, they didn't even monitor their sons. Whatever. That's life for you. That's what the world is like, folks. Innit beautiful? ♥//sharpie

Both the kids who shot up Columbine were both harassed extensively at their school. But I doubt the media put that up. I'm not condoning what they did, but when someone is harassed continually and asks for help multiple times and not getting any at all because the people harassing them are jocks, some people don't know what else to do.
I wasn't saying what they did was a good thing, but I definately think it could have been avoided had people listened. It just bothers me that the media made them out to be monsters. Yes, killing the people who never did anything to them was wrong but they were pushed and probably had some serious mental issues. I'm not saying what they did was right, please dont think that. I'm just saying.
