Wearing ankle length black trenchcoats, two obviously deeply disturbed high school kids massacred students and faculty alike, in a hail of gunfire and home-made bombs. My heart goes out to the people of Littleton Colorado, who lost family and friends in this horrible tragedy at Columbine High School. The death toll stands at fifteen right now, eleven males and four females, one of the dead being a faculty member. I won't dignify these child murderers with a mention of either of their names, or the address to their pathetic webpage of hate. Let us just say the killers used a combination of handguns, home-made bombs and shotguns, as they left a trail of wounds and deaths from their school cafeteria to the library. The ordeal ended at the school library, where they took their own lives.
The death toll is still approximate, as the police are just now letting the investigators in for a real body count, because of the many bombs the two planted around the crime scene. Jefferson County Sheriff John Stone was on ' Good Morning America ' on ABC and said, " Some of these devices are on timing devices, some are incendiary devices and some are pipe bombs, some are like hand grenades that have got shrapnel in them wrapped around butane containers ". A fellow student said the two came into the library and declared, " all jocks stand up...we're going to kill every one of you ".
Because these two kids were obviously obsessed with hatred based on many different factors, including ethnicity and stature within the school hierarchy ( atheletes? ), the connection has been made between them and neo-Nazism. Further, because yesterday was the anniversary of Adolf Hitler's birthday, more folks have been trying to draw that parallel as well. Maybe the black trenchcoats, in invoking the specter of the dreaded Nazi Gestapo, also contribute to the attraction to blaming Nazis or neo-Nazis beliefs for this awful occurrence.
Blaming it all on neo-Nazism and Hitler's birthday is taking the easy way out. We, as a society, must take responsibility for creating the atmosphere where things like this begin to happen more and more often ( Arkansas and Kentucky, to name a few ). The demise of the American family, including the legitimization of homosexuality and un-wed births, the rise of criminal gangs as " the family " and ultra-violent and realistic computer/video games are probably the greatest influence on why these kids turn to killing. Remember this, Hitler and the National Socialists of Germany in the 1930s glorified atheletics to the point of having massive ceremonies and awarding national medals. We know these two killer kids hated atheletes, and called them jocks.
Watch the extreme lefties start to blame the guns and bombs instead of the people again. The gun control nuts will be out in force to try and make some hay over the blood spilled in Denver!
