im a 15 year old white girl living in south africa… yeah im kinda goth and listen to metal but whatever.. im really killing to know some arguments on my opinion regarding what happened,, and some of urs too.. will choose best answer
“”i blame:
*the music
*the parents
*the violent video games
*cartoons
*south park
*bullying
*t.v.
*drugs
*marilyn manson”"
hey heres an idea kids.. why dont we blame the actual people who pick up the gun, walk into school and empty it into their peers??
are half of the people who throw around the above acusations aware that on the day the shooting occured in columbine that the president of the united states dropped more bombs on coast lavol than any other time during the war?
10 DAYS after the columbine shooting occured a state official hosted a pro guns ralley.. referring to anti fire arm remarks he stated “from my cold dead hands” wielding a rifle above his head, the crowds reaction was thunderous applause. marilyn manson cancelled his tour in respect of them even though in reality he has no blame behind it. when asked what he would have said to the boys who shot up their school he replied, “nothing. i wouls have listened to what they had to say, because no body did that for them”
who, in this situation is showing more logic and empathy to the masacre? yet who did america choose to blame?
so what was the united states reaction to the columbine shooting? they started a blits on all the kids in schools… they were no longer alowed to wear their shirts untucked, wear baggy pants, or adorn any symbols that may be related to gang associations. an 8 year old was suspended from school for bringing a pair of nail clippers to class, the authorities stating that they were a weapon. another primary school child was expelled for pointing a piece of chicken at his teacher and saying bang bang. another 8 year old was sent home after pointing a gun shaped folded piece of paper at his class mates in a game of copas and robbers. a high school boy was expelled for dying his hair blue, another for wearing a scottish outfit to his high school dance with a FAKE traditional knife attached to his kilt..
the reason kids would shoot up their high school is because they are angry at the way that they are treated there.. and now authorities have the audacity to make life even more hellish for them by suppressing them even further??? when in reality the boys responsible for columbine just walked right on in.. even if ppl had been checking their bags, the masacre would have occured ANYWAY.. the same case is with the samari incident in krugersdorp..
how can society, the peopkle of america, blame the music, the hair, the toenail clippers.. THE CHICKEN!!!! when they are so goddamn pro fire arms?? when a pro gun ralley can be run 10 days later.. when in actual fact the guns that eric harris and dylan klebold perchased to shoot up their school were actually bought leggally?
the united states needs to sort out their priorities

because they are just people and people don’t know all the answers. no one is perfect, and lots of people are far from it. those kids who did that were really messed up… i don’t think really anyone but god knows why, and i don’t think the reason why matters, because seriously, if you knew the reason, would you say “oh well if THAT’s the answer, then i guess it’s ok”? i don’t think anyone would say that. it’s horrible what they did, but we really can’t do anything about it now.

what kristen said…
i dunno if you can really blame anything for this
but south park actually criticizes this world’s ignorance.
and as far as marilyn manson goes, in an interview he said he isnt trying to get kids to become psychopaths
teens these days will pretty much do anything to try and “benefit” them/theyre just insane, neglected, etc.
but thats just a guess..
this country is very much more corrupted than people think!

America can’t keep track of everyone and everything.
These things happen all over the world on a daily basis too.
Maybe not in a school, but somewhere… someone is being killed.
I don’t think it is fair to say that those boys were psychopaths because they were neglected or whatever by there parents.Or because of musical influences, video games, ETC. They were teenagers and knew right from wrong. They made their own decision. Unfortunately, many others had to suffer from it. The United States, the government, the other citizens; no one can be blamed or held responsible. It was a premeditated act of violence, no one could have stopped it.
