BANG!!
I've been reading up on Columbine. I know I'm kinda late and all but my interest has been peeked by the bomb threats and the insident where this boy was going to come to school and shoot everyone {almost unstopped} at my school. I started thinking about that day and all the things those kids went through because what if it would have really happened to me. The first thing I did was read this book, Give a Boy a Gun, which was a journalist interviewing people about a real school shooting, it wasn't about Columbine, but someone recounted hearing one of the boys saying that the shooters at Columbine did a good job. Well, this book about a school shooting wouldn't be a book about school shootings if Columbine wasn't mentioned and because of my want to know every bloody detail of an event, I searched the internet for all that I could find and I found this great site
which has pictures and journal enteries from the killers. Reading through all the things that the site had to offer, I began to cry. I don't know why, but I did. Maybe it was because I felt the collective pain of that day in a way I was unable to feel it when I was in junior high, maybe it's that thought of dying young, or maybe be it was the fear that that could have happened to me. It get's me everytime. Well, I gotta go. I'm going to the 49 cent and more to rent the video Bowling for Columbine. Hey when I get into something, I get into it.Good night, God bless.
