  1. Yeah he let him go. And yeah Dylan absolutely is by far more likely to actually have seen the error of his ways at that moment, Eric was having the time of his life. But by then it was too late.

  2. If he was being louder and/or more boisterous then I think it's again just because the two fed off of each other just to begin with, like I am convinced if they didn't meet each other and become friends this shooting may never have happened. But it did. Like it was almost similar to certain homosexual relationships (I am not calling them gay, don't get me wrong) or even in just a lot of human relationships in general, there was a dominant one and there was a submissive one. Eric may not have been as vocal during the shooting but based on his journals alone compared to Dylan's journals it's very clear that the mastermind was Eric. Dylan was probably just trying to please his master, so to speak, as he often did when it came to Eric, or maybe it was in some pseudo way to convince himself that what he was doing was actually OK. It took him spotting a friend to revert to a chilling casual remark, "Oh, just killing people". I can't help but think in that moment maybe Dylan felt a little bit of shame but again, they were in too deep by that point. I am just theorizing here mostly. Actually I am watching an interview with one of the kids who was in the library, Craig Scott, and he claims "they were both whooping it up".

  3. Eric was RAPED? What? That's news to me, I have been meaning to read the book for years though. I am guessing maybe that is in the book or something. I gotta admit that actually paints the entire situation in a completely different light. In all my years doing research on this tragedy I've never heard that he got raped. That actually falls under the motivation that it was revenge against bullies which is precisely what they were saying in the days/weeks following the shooting on the media, a point of which supposedly was recently proven untrue, but reading all that I guess not... Oh and the only reason I say Eric was the "mastermind" is because to my knowledge he was the only one who actually had drawn maps and outlined his motivations which were starkly different from Dylan's. Dylan was suicidal; Eric was homicidal, a point of which he makes clear in his journal that he hates human beings and wants nothing more than to destroy as much as possible on his way out. Interesting points though you brought up, I gotta admit.

  4. I just want to thank you for this conversation my friend. I learned a lot.

  5. Mind = blown. Btw, have you read that book? The one simply titled Columbine, it's quite lengthy, but if it neglects this aspect of the case I won't waste my time because it literally changes everything. If not that, then what resources did you use to find this information? How recently did it even come to light? Because it all adds up assuming you're right. Anyway, OK, but why then if Reb and Vodka were intended as fictional superhero identities created for the purposes of defending people against bullies/corruption did they go to a school and shoot dozens of people, murdering a total of 12? Unless they legitimately blamed literally the entire school, people who had nothing to do with it or people who actually were the bullies themselves. If the bombs went off this would've been even worse as an utter tragedy if not the single most deadly attack in American terrorism history depending on how high the death count was according to their original plan (before 9/11 of course). Sure they may have gotten some of them. But not all of them, and in addition to that maybe even some of their friends and people who were nice or people who otherwise weren't mean enough to engage in the bullying. It seems to me that they became the bullies if that was the case, which is quite obvious, but go on because this is fascinating. This is absolutely incredible, though. Thanks for doing this.

  6. I am pretty sure Colorado is a death penalty state, and that's almost certainly what they would've gotten. So probably death row in a supermax until their final days which could take years, meaning that they may actually be still alive today if they did NOT suicide. Aurora, Colorado is like not even that far away and of course you already know about the other shooting that happened there. The Batman shootings. That guy's on Death Row last I heard. I think that this act was basically just one of many forms of suicide, they just brought other people down with them -- for reasons that may be arguably justified or not, I dunno, I think the best I can do is understand it. But this kind of thing should never happen, and yet it does all the time. Sadly. I don't think they planned on leaving alive, and they were hoping in the beginning to get even more people via bomb, people they wouldn't have to look face to face. I think seeing a lot of people they were at best neutral or even liked as they were killing them eventually made them at the very least feel the slightest pangs of guilt. Especially if Eric himself was sick after doing what he did. True sociopaths would revel in it, not get sick. Unless it was as a result of a superior dose of dopamine from their brains as a result of it. I have to hope in my heart and mind that they regretted what they did before it was done.

  7. I actually just realized that Colorado's not exactly a death penalty state anymore. I don't know where I heard that, nor did I know all this other stuff you're telling me about the history of prison sentences and what not. It's crazy to think that America actually hasn't always been a terrible prison state, since we certainly seem to enjoy that reputation nowadays, but I am happy to hear that the prisons as a business folks are no longer enjoying the racket they once did. That was probably the most immoral business in America.

  8. No, YouTube is just going through a transitional period since they changed their system altogether about a month or two ago. For reasons unbeknownst to myself. I will delete and repost it though. (Read: they royally screwed the comments section)
