this is just a message to my fbi agent..... i’m not planning a school shooting i just find this interesting

im so sorry. i was not supposed to find this funny😭
Samee
I’m not here for the wrong reason please don’t worry FBI agent

"History remembers the names of the murderers, not the names of the victims"
cause it’s too many victims names to remember
@@shdw2605 thats not the point...
Easier to remember 2 names than 30
Angel L 😂😂😂
ArtjomAlexandsson well yeah, we always know the victims, but usually society recognizes the killers, not the innocent people.
Rest In Peace to every person who’s life was robbed due to gun violence. My thoughts & condolences are with the families in Texas right now.
agree
It's so sad it keeps happening. 🙏🏽💔
If this never happened those kids would’ve became successful.
Gun violence 😭😭 Rest in peace to Dylan and Eric who's lives were robbed due to mental assault.
Columbine, Virginia Tech, Parkland, Sandy Hook,... seems it's just not all that safe to be a kid, especially in America.
I was bullied at school. One day the bullying got so bad that I broke down and started crying in front of my friends telling them I wanted to go home. I wanted to leave the school and never return. Not once did I think about murdering those bullies. You have to be sick in the head to plan out a murder rampage like this
Man I didn’t break 100 pounds until the summer before my junior year… never once thought about something like this
I hope both of you are doing fine now
As much of sick in the head as bullying people to tears. Those people will never change unless someone gives them a lesson
I'm so sorry you were bullied. I hope you are well now.
I was also bullied throughout my highschool thats why my past memories there was awful. If i have a gun i prolly did as well but only to that one person that really bully me.
y’all are saying why did he just casually greet the shooter like “hi dylan what are you doing?” but that’ was a smart move honestly. he was tryna make conversation so that he wouldn’t get shot
Lol tbh i would do the same and start a bible study sesh in order not to get shot
I believe he asked that because he had not yet grasped what was going on at the moment. There you have a classmate who you see and interact with daily just shooting people. I wouldn't know what to think if I saw a friend/classmate doing those things.
lmao never seen anyone say that but ok
It’s because they did know each other and they were kind of friends
he was in shock so no one should fault him for his reaction
When my parents were my age they were afraid of going to school out of fear of getting teased. I am afraid of going to school out of fear of getting shot.
school shootings aren’t very common. You only hear about them so much because they are rare. There are so many high schools and so little of them get shot up.
HelloThere+ Easy thing to say for someone who hasn’t been a mass shooting.
1940s kids be like Drafted to the army
HelloThere is it creepy like do you ever think not trying to be weird but like there was a dead person there or a gun was shooting at people here?
Then move out of USA
As a resident of Aurora in 8th grade, I will never, ever forget that day. All the victims suffered horribly, both the dead and the survivors.I worked with a Columbine survivor years ago, and she had recurring panic attacks and couldn’t go into crowded places. I hope she and all the other survivors and families have found a level of healing.
I'm from aurora I also remember the 2012 theater shooting our area has been attack so many times
Oh wow! Your former co-worker had panic attacks? Interesting! Next time you see her, ask her about the multiple shooters conspiracy theory.
One of the saddest events in education history and one event that would set off a chain of terrible people and innocent-ish children who have their full lives ahead of them
My ex aunts cousin was killed in the aurora Colorado shooting
My ex aunts ( she was married to my blood uncle, they’re now divorced )cousin was shot and killed in that ( aurora Colorado shooting)
23 years later, what has changed? RIP to the lives lost in Texas.
It has always been the same Shooting happened back then just as much as today but the news gets more advanced and if something happens now it's on it. Columbine was just such a shock it was on the news. And now their is so much on the news it's not a surprise to us even though it still should be a shock since it still is as uncommon as it was back then.
That ‘hey Dylan’ 100% saved that dudes life
No, Eric recognized him from under the table and walked away. Dylan saw that dude, who was also his friend and didn't intend to shoot him whatsoever. Being friends with Dylan actually saved his life
@@user-gl6zp8ei4b why tf would they sit under the table they are begging to get shot if I was in there I’d try to grab someone and run out the room using them as a shield, but that really depends what gun the shooters using

Wow. Watching this in 2022 on the night of the Texas elementary school shooting, and after so many other horrific incidences in between is crushing.
I’m here to watching because that . I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this story
@@musicfeedsmysoul6423 yeeahhh... it was horrible

Yep
@@squeaky206 And scientific studies show it does nothing for school performance either.
The lady yelling in the library... that stressed me out. She basically called the gunmen into that room.
i just love it when teachers treat students like children and always yell at them, always avoiding being calm and reasonable.
Lindsey Henderson come on cut her sum slack that was a pretty scary situation she was just trying to save them the best way she knew how, hard to think it situations as scary as that
ikr...it's almost like it's her fault students that choose to go on a shooting rampage shot people.
@@p.rico0749 well she is dumb
If I were in that situation, I’d be thinking something like ‘This lady’s gonna get us killed.’
I was born on April 19 the day before, at Lutheran. Which for those that don’t know is in wheat Ridge. My dad told me how he felt and what was going through his head, while holding new born me in the hospital,while watching the live news on the shooting. What he said still haunts me 2 years later and will forever haunt me. While he was telling me this he started to cry heavily. Out of the 23 years I have been alive, he has only told me this once. This changed history and society. My dad knew I would have to grow up in this society. It was so haunting.
The fact that bullying was a main motive in this shooting shows how little effort schools put into anti-bullying programs or stopping bullying overall.
Its TERRIFYING how people actually romanticize this.
Such sickos

“What would you have said to the Columbine shooters?” “I wouldn’t have said anything, I would have listened, and that’s what no one did.” - Marilyn Manson
*nO u*
I would have paid attention as well-kept it from happening as a Law Enforcement professional AND a Health Care Professional.
Marilyn Manson's answer to Michael Moore for the "Bowling for Columbine" documentary when he was asked what would he say to the shooters.
You confused it. Its survivors that's a marlin Manson quote
I would have said *oK bOoMeR*
Dylan: hated himself and wanted to die Eric: hated everyone and wanted everyone to die such a dangerous combination of people that ended up being best friends
Dylan was the one who was acting crazy during the shooting
Christian Grey yeah maybe Dylan was more crazy, but this is still correct, he never said Dylan wasn’t sadistic
@The Hooded Claw When did he say that Dylan wasn't sadistic? It was confirmed that Dylan was in fact suicidal. The comment wasn't justifying Dylan, it was just reflecting on the duo's mechanics. Calm down.
eric had patterns of suicidal behavior... it’s not black and white. they were both very sick in the head and were not given the help needed. so sad that this could’ve been prevented.
Lisa Cornell exactly, another fact is that eric’s dad found a pipe bomb in eric’s room, his punishment was to explode it in the mountains, he also had one of his plans to blow up the cafeteria on his bedroom wall and again, the parents didn’t take notice. such a shame 💔
The fact that bullying existed is a serious indictment on our society, itself.
Bullying is something that only happens in school and on the internet because there is no punishment for it and nothing gets done until the bullied reach there limit and loss of there own or others lives happen
Bullying has been happening for as long as we have been here.
I've been bullied when I was in daycare, all throughout my school life, and even as an adult. They were (and still are) horrible people and saying their actions messed me up is putting it lightly, but I could never imagine getting back at any of them by doing something like this.
That's cause you truly have a good heart! no decent human being is capable of doing something like this horific...😥 i know what is like to be bullied for a long time, it leaves deep wounds, stay strong!❤ 💪🤗
Klebold and harris were possessed
This is why I’m nice to EVERYONE. Don’t want to be on anyone’s list.
Hela your point was spot on
Exactly.
@@nbryan0585 r u dave grohl?
Blonde Boy@ you know, sometime I wish
You should probably start treating people well, because they want to be loved too. Not because you're afraid of being the victim of a school shooter. Stay safe.
Imagine the guy who missed school that day.
yeah
Lucky
Probably have survivors guilt
Imagine one kid tried to fake sick but their mom didnt let em stay at home
It was 4/20, wouldn’t be such a bad day to miss school😏
this is a good example of why you shouldn't bully
I obviously agree with you. As a mature gentleman myself from Lakemba, New South Wales, Australia. It is very important for every institutions especially our schools to have anti-bullying programs, loneliness awareness, mental illness awareness, strong security & weapon control to try to make the world a kinder safer place for our society period. I am not saying we should be paranoid what I really mean is that we should be very cautious of any boy, any girl, any man and any woman who possesses any dangerous weapons because it is a matter of time before they start going on a deadly rampage which they will end up harming & murdering innocent people. Also they will harm themselves which would lead them to commit suicide. That is why it is very important to connect with people who are struggling with any problems in their life both mentally & physically. To all my fellow human brothers and sisters around the world stay safe & always remember be genuine & take care of one another.
This is a profound testimony of human resilience! He went on to serve his country. Thanks for sharing your story!
I hate when people describe them as "outcasts", "loners" or that they "didn't fit in" because it casts a stereotype that everyone who doesn't fit in poses a threat when they actually don't.
wolfslullaby stats say otherwise
He's clearly suffering from Anomie because he didn't fit that streotype of the perfect man.
I’m not even gonna lie that’s true and that’s on people being afraid of being mean to the weird kid
It's true though, you don't see many extroverts shooting up schools. Doesn't mean we should shame loners for it though. It is what it is.
They WERE unpopular. Outcasts. They had a small fellow-geeky friend group, but they did NOT have any semblance of a normal social life.
"What are you doing, Dylan?" "Oh, just killing people."
"I'm literally just vibing bruh"
Matthew Demetriou shouldnt laugh but lmao
@@brianekdudek ???
Oh boy here i go killing again
Only in America where am from that has never happened
There’s a film clip of the library part of the shooting (recreation of course) and it lasts as long as the real shooting lasted. It also includes actual quotes from the shooters, spoken by actors portraying them, and recognizes the victims as they are killed. It’s terrifying but opens your eyes to what that school went though that day. It makes you really feel it.
can i see it
What they actually said according to witnesses was even more graphic if I remember the recreation you’re talking about, like apparently they said things like “I didn’t know brains could fly that far” and stuff. That’s according to multiple people in the library anyway.
can you please link it??
@@user-hw6bi5uc1qIt's called zero hour and it's on youtube
Zero Hour’s a great series. It makes you feel like you”re actually in the disaster’s they’re talking about and gives you some insight into what the victims and survivors were going through. I remember I first saw the Columbine episode and it upset me when it showed Dave Sanders all bloody and Brooks said there a million times it could have stopped. I remember being upset when he said that because I wish it didn’t happen
School shootings is not just shootings. It’s terrrorism.
“School shootings are rare” OOF this did NOT age well.
They are still rare
Trevor Coyle they ARE NOT rare in america and this is what they where referring to. theirs a school shooting hundreds of times a year in america that is not “rare”
char theyre def rare we dont even get more than 10 a year df
We lowkey dont even get more than 5
Nigel TheEnglishman 59 in 2019 and america alone. don’t think that’s 5 bud. and on average a school shooting in america occurs every 2-3 days
"There was lots of bullying at Columbine. It was a high school in America." Wow that really shows how devoted schools are to preventing bullying
then they go "why do people shoot schools?" do they hear themselves?
Yea i was like wtf?
we don't have these problems in Ireland this social ladder thing and we don't have guns here we also don't have school kids shootings it seems to be an society cultural problem and bulllying that seems to primarily in america......When isiahs shoels aunt goes to the school because her nephew is being called the n word and has no choice but to quit the football team constantly ignoring parents who complain about how their kids are being treated for letting jock culture and sports rule the school and make it the schools identity and not academics and learning.. and let the jocks live their lives and the have the school like their in charge ....... Know one want to talk about that I suggest everyone read Randy browns book .....
There's bullying in high schools everywhere in the world - even if yeah, America's 1st for what violence concerns, coz when youngsters have access to guns it becomes a real drama that affects more people than *just* the bullied...
They don't care, I've worked in a high school, it's like jail!

Being nice to people , can make a huge impact to someone’s life going through rough times. “Be nice”

ugh when the principal said "You're not supposed to bury your kids, and they're all my kids." That hit deep.
@Vic Vega I think Dylan didn't have any or it was the other kid but one if them didn't have parents so they did what they wanted too and the other kids dad was a vet if I'm correct and he was at work alot alot
@Vic Vega Yeah ik one of them loving in foster care well he did and didn't and one of them lived with there dad that worked basically 12+ hours a day
@@sirmely That is deeply inaccurate. They both had very involved parents, ESPECIALLY Dylan. No one wakes up one morning thinking your kid is going to this level. Tragic.
I glad they did it.
I don't empathize with the Principal because he denies its shared responsibility but it was his responsibility to guarantee a safe environment in his school. There are many testimonies from students who said that bullying was never punished. Drugs and alcohol were consumed and there was an inequality of consideration between athletes and other students. This tragedy is so sad. So many lives lost because of people who didn't do their job properly.
school shootings are not rare and are very common. we need to fix this issue
This is very relatable as I sent through this today at slinger middle school

Please tell me you’re lying that’s sick
"There was a lot of bullying in Columbine, it was a high-School in america!". I think they're normalizing that a bit too much
Isn't that just the truth though? Many lives have been lost not through shootings but by suicide of those bullied.
Not saying it wasn't true, but the way he expresses it makes it sound like something "meh, dont worry, its a common thing, deal with it"
Cannibal Lemons I agree 100%
Bruh there’s bullying EVERYWHERE. Bullying doesn’t create mass murderers.
The bigger issue is that normalizing animosity isn’t the way. We should learn to respect each other at the very least and acknowledge people’s differences: backgrounds, struggles, personalities, and whatnot. Bullying is avoidable in a society. If you ultimately don’t like someone just look the other way and don’t think/care about that person. Life’s too short to just obsessively hate on things. Smh. I wasn’t ever bullied in school especially as I got older, so I know it’s possible.
I was 12 and in middle school when Columbine happened. It defined my teenage years. Unfortunately, I remember it also causing problems and bullying for the "goth" kids, some of whom were the nicest kids and my friends.
I hate how it led to stigmatization towards alternative teens. I was 5 when it happened so I don’t remember the massacre.
And yet again, we’ve lost another 20 lives #UvaldeTX
When the teacher was on the phone and she shouts “under the table, kids!” It gave me shivers
Teachers said the same thing in the '50s with the absurdly misguided "Duck and Cover" drills, as if hiding under a wood desk would protect kids from an atomic bomb.

@@michellelovesanberli I know, its awful
I’m wondering if they were among the 12 people who died in the library.... the teacher kept saying under the table, if they were those kids who died, probably not following what the teacher said could have been safer at that time.

The "hey Dylan" guy - 😭 I cannot imagine how he coped with that. Knowing he was spared and actually spoke to the murderers whole others were brutally killed.
Hearing that phone call gives me chills…
my heart broke when john said “we were video game nerds”. i can’t imagine how he and the others that were in that group must have felt when they were associated with the shooting in the media. that stuff follows you around forever.
True
Not really. It was squashed pretty quickly. Infact. People see them as two people that went on a killing spree. Some see it as a bullying revenge but when reading diaries and such you know it was much more than that. I don’t think anybody ties them to that group anymore.
@@ninanickel3103 I went to high school the year after Columbine, in Colorado, about an hour away from the location of the shooting. I can assure you that the nerds and outcasts were treated with a great deal of extra suspicion (on top of the normal amount) for at least a couple years afterward, especially the ones who wore trench coats, baggy canvas rain coats, and/or the baggy JNCO jeans.

"There was a lot of bullying at Columbine, it's a high school in America." That's kind of sad actually.
@ True. They need to teach kids that the opinions of others don't matter all that much and that bullies are usually just really insecure people who take it out on others. Nowadays they're so soft they cry in a room full of participation trophys plotting on killing other kids cause they're weak.
@ no, it's just that is until now we've stopped normalizing it, normalizing something so traumatizing for life.
@ well, it definitely never received the proper attention until now, people might let it pass before but now they take actions, that is not overreacting, you fool
@ yeah its been around since forever. As the saying goes tough times create strong people and strong people create good times and good times create weak people.
@ Bullying now follows them everywhere and in other schools because of internet now. We've also stopped normalizing it - it's not because something "has been around since the beginning of times" that it should be allowed to continue now is it ?
11:20 in Colorado as I am writing this. 23 years ago right now.😔
i had a softball tournament in colorado and the fields we played on were right next to columbine. it was chilling just looking at the school. i didn’t have the chance to see the memorial but i felt so much sadness just looking at the school. it was crazy that something so big happened to a place i was looking at in person.

BEGGED with tears streaming down my face for my mother not to take me to school that day. She did anyway. She had to come pick me up after a kid popped a chip bag in 3rd period that threw me into a full panic attack. The guy was caught 2 minutes before when he planned to shoot up the school at lunch

I live in a town that just had a school shooting about 6 weeks ago. You hear about school shootings, but you never think it will happen in the school you go/went to. For some reason, this resonates different now, than it would've before.
this is why we should always treat people with fairness and kindness these are the reasons these things happens
It's ironic that these guys are immortalized now because of all the media coverage they've received. They wanted to be remembered. They got exactly what they wanted. It seems like they get more attention than the victims.
Facts, same thing with John Lennon killer and many more .... so sad
Unfortunately its easier to remember two names than twelve or so
@@rocklynq7628 You're right, but that still doesn't quite explain it. Eric and Dylan's fatal friendship is romanticized more than any other duo I've ever seen or heard of. The only killer duo that comes close is probably Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka.
@@revokdaryl1 that is true. It is mysterious to most people ...they want to "understand" how something like this could happen. Especially with paul and karla, I live near where they committed the murders so to me that is almost local....Columbine terrified me. I was a kid in elementary school when it happened and our world changed. We did code reds and were always waiting for it to happen to us at our school. Flash forward and I worked in a daycare at a high school. I worked in the infant room and we had a code red because someone was walking about with a gun. We sat on the crib room floor with 9 babies for 3 hours. All i could think about was Columbine. I never remembered any of their names but recently have seen this come up in my feed. I can tell you that I will forget their names as I dont want to remember them. I wish i could remember all the victims, but i cant do that either. One love. Rest in peace to all the victims
@@rocklynq7628 When I was in elementary school in the 1960's, we had 'duck under the desk' drills because of perceived nuclear war threat. People were building bomb shelters for their families. Your mention of current-day drills for a very different threat brought those memories back.
“12 kids died under my drop” The look of guilt on his face absolutely killed me. He had no fault w what happened. It’s horrible for him to feel like he could have done more.
What?! It was his fault too! He was the principal of the school, if anyone could solve the bullying problem, then it should of been him.
"Under my drop" I think you mean ON MY WATCH.
human nature for normal folk.
@@highkit solving this is just not possible for a principle, the influence of artists and musicians maybe, but not a principle
@@highkit You are absolutely correct.
This is why you don't bully anyone in school and it will end up in a horrible situation. Parents teach your kids don't bully another kid in school, any school you're in don't bully anyone even if they look different than you, you don't know if someone is having hard time with their life or something else, you don't bully people it's NOT right.
These poor victims of bullying. To think how everything would have been better if the bullies never messed with them
"I've always liked you. Don't come to school tomorrow." Edit: I completely forgot I ever made this comment 😂. This has been happening a lot recently lmao
Øsiris if someone said that to me I would thank Jesus God Mary and the twelve disciples l.🙏🏾😣
U betcha cowboy 🤠
@charlie lol
Øsiris in a way that did actually happen at Columbine. One of the students ran into Eric into the Parking Lot. Eric had made peace with him and told him to go home
"Some of you guys are alright don't go to school tommorw"
As a parent, i cannot even imagine the pain and agony.
Michael Luccketta my little pitbull and going to school today
Whats the difference between pain and agony?
@Ahmad Sheikh-Ali its worse all off the shooting sandy not more worse then this one or all the others that happend people died and was not necessary
It's their parents fault They should feel guilty
for some reason I have watching so many documentaries on this event today, and I realized that it happened exactly today 23 years ago.
Glad to see some intelligent researchers in this video
My high-school is built like a maze. I never understood why it was so confusing until I asked my teacher and she said its to confuse the shooter and make mass fatality shootings harder
Why can't they just build a school with more glass windows
Woah..
@@veiserexab1428 My College be like
Dawg the shooter goes there tf, that ngga got that sht mapped out he finna find everybody
@@lunasspace2694 they build school like a maze
Imagine watching him shot someone in the face and saying “Hey man”
justin wilson I bet you he was doing that so he didn’t get shot either that way he could save himself
tf
Classified Ched very true
justin wilson would you say stop and get shot
Not surprising to see this drop into my feed days after Uvalde, 2022.
My dad was a 25 year member of the Chicago PD (Inspector/detective for 19) and had a close friend who worked with the Colorado Bureau of the F.B.I..... They talked about this case and after extensively investigating this crime for about 36 months The F.B.I came to the conclusion that the biggest urban legend and myth was Harris & Klebold were often bullied prior to this rampage.. The opposite in fact happened. --- --- It was Klebold and Harris (Especially Harris) who bullied others.. The behaviour science unit believed Harris was a clinical psychopath and was adept even at a young age of making himself look like a victim .
Imagine being the shooters friend and they just leave you alone...
Well you have to be nice
Sijang this is why i try to be nice to everyone 😭😭
Callie S because your afraid of being shot?
I think they would start with the friends first.
Well Rachel was friends with Eric and he killed her so I think only a few kids had immunity
6:34 “There was lots of bullying at Columbine, it was a high school in America.” Good advertising...
This is one of the reason why things like that happen Normalizing a problem just because it happen frequently It's one of the stupidest things you can do
_MindBlow ' yeah
Bullying is going to happen there’s no stopping it. The real danger isn’t People aren’t normalizing bullying, it’s people normalizing revenge violence as a justified action. Every human will be picked on or bullied at some point in life. The answer isn’t to try and get rid of bullying, the answer is in how we teach our children to deal with it. You can’t nerf the world so people don’t get there feeling hurt... you must make people stronger that way there feelings aren’t as easily hurt and if they are hurt they are strong enough to know that is only a temporary feeling.
Matthew o'riordan amen brother Only the strong survive in all aspects in life and you’ll see the smaller, weaker sects of different species on earth all being picked on. There’s always the runts in society and we can’t blame our natural instincts on forcing people to go commit horrible crimes
Not every country have the level of bulling that americans have. And not of countries have the school shootings that america have. Of course it is a relation there.
Still nothing has changed
Online school should be a option for kids who don’t feel comefortable at school or at work
Erics mother held a conference a few years back. She talked about how conflicted she feels. She lost her child, but her child took others children from them. She talks about how she feels partly responsible, but also how she feels that in the eyes of others, she shouldn't be allowed to grieve her sons death. I know those parents probably wanted someone to blame for their kids deaths, and since the shooters were dead, they went after the shooters families. I can't imagine the pain and guilt their mothers and fathers feel every day, and for something that was not their faults.
yeah
society's fault not the parents in this case
Yes I feel for all the parents and families I just don’t have remorse for the shooters . Anybody feel bad for nick Cruz (parkland) no I don’t either but there is something serious wrong with him the boy didn’t have a family and off his meds he didn’t shoot him self either I digress we’re all evil
Her TED Talk was really eye opening, not sure if that’s what you’re talking about.
@Terra Explorer Teachers barely get paid anything.
The shooting that basically started the huge shooting outbreak. The shooting the rattled the world still to this day. To all the victims of this tragedy may you Rest In Peace
RevolutionTwirlerYT 7 sandy hook is when it started to happen exponentially
@@dreidynn there were plenty of school shootings before Sandy Hook, and before Columbine, so you're a little misguided on facts.
yeah... they even said it in the video. smh these commenters gotta listen@@mallorywaters87
@@lamma746 yeah, I figured I'd reiterate for those who had trouble listening and comprehending the video that they were commenting on.
Shootings happened since muskets
It's 2022 and NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
Good documentary 👍
Bullying or not, these 2 kids were mentally screwed up. One was severely depressed and the other had a God-like complex with psychotic tendencies.
Mel M y’all will never learn and that’s truly sad
Exactly. It’s not that they were bullied. In fact, they weren’t bullied. People with clinical depression rationalize things so it’s easy to see how they could think that.
david rodriguez what do you drag in a people group, it has nothing to do with mental stability, don’t try to make people be guilty for being white.
Mel M “mentally” that’s what they all say🙄
Yep and no one helped them
3 years ago they were calling school shootings “rare” but sadly, in 2018 it’s a very common thing.
Anaiscazares Lmao not really... otherwise we would hear about them... When someone kills them selves at a school they will count it as a school shooting. Even if they find ammo say on the field or something they will count it was a school shooting. 79% of the attacks aren't "real" school shootings.
Verilium there’s already been 18 shooting this year 2018 that a lot just for almost 2 months
Orbit iZrum Yeah but most of them aren't actual "school shootings"., like i said in the comment above..
It feels like it happens every week😭
Ebony Smith yeah update from my comment above ^ someone wrote in the bathroom of my sisters school that there will be a school shooting tomorrow and there is a girl at her school that posted a picture with a gun and said "ready for school tomorrow"
15 dead bodies? That’s a weekend in Chicago on a warm day.
i cannot process how this is real sometimes. heartbreaking all around. may the innocent rest in peace.
“Hey Dylan.” “Hey man” “what you doing” “killing people”
😈😈😈😈😈😈
saw impact ur going to jail
