America has resigned itself to the evil infection. We’ve rolled over. That’s what’s most unsettling. We have no hope of shaking this goblin off our leg if the American spirit is too tired to act.
Americans being too cowardly to do the right thing? Say it ain't so.
One could almost surmise that the 2nd Amendment has become the 11th Commandment.
And rather than even attempting to discover what was at the root of this tragedy, angsty kids wearing black were harassed. Reexamine gun laws and build a more robust mental health network? Hell no! Make sure them outcasts feel it every fucking second.
Being the root cause for ma y kids to do the same
The US is just one big collection of worst decisions ever
Yes it would, there hasn't been a shooting like it since. Uvalde comes close, but that wasn't planned like columbine was.
The Body Keeps Score.
Anne Marie is getting all the rest now that she was never able to find after that tragic day.
I was a junior in high school when this happened. The weirdest part of it all was my English teacher had it on the TV. We didn't have class that day we just watched the TV for approx 50mins and then left. It was awful.
Absolutely heartbreaking.
Sue Klebold is a twisted abomination of a human being though. Her TED talk is revolting.
