By examining the early signs of Eric Harris's troubling behavior, we uncover a series of missed opportunities that might have altered the course of history. This episode of "Unraveling the Columbine Tragedy" takes a hard look at the red flags that went unnoticed, from Eric's vandalism sprees with Dylan Klebold and their friend Zack, to the damaging altercation with Brooks Brown. The tense relationship between the Harris and Brown families unfolds, revealing the overlooked warning signals that hinted at a much darker path ahead.Amidst a backdrop of law enforcement oversight and secrecy, a chilling narrative emerges. Thirteen months before the massacre, crucial evidence of Eric Harris building pipe bombs was discovered but left unaddressed. We bring you the gripping details of secret meetings among officials who concealed this knowledge, leading to years of public deception. As detectives worked tirelessly to connect the dots, key figures such as Chris Morris, Phil Duran, and Mark Maines played pivotal roles in shedding light on the weapon procurement network, unraveling a complex web of hidden truths and investigative challenges.Alongside FBI Agent Dr. Fusilier, we explore the intricate psychological profiles of Harris and Klebold, delving into their journals and basement tapes to understand their motives. Eric's writings reveal a calculated hatred, while Dylan's entries paint a picture of internal turmoil and depression. Through this lens, we ponder the rare circumstances where anger and depression explode into violence. This episode promises an insightful journey into the minds of the Columbine killers, offering a deeper understanding of the tragic events and what might drive seemingly ordinary individuals to commit such heinous acts.Send us a text Support the show

La segunda entrega de “Pop y Columbine” es una apoteosis de diversión educativa que no se veía desde 1599, el año en que Shakespeare estrenó Julius Caesar. Kiko Amat relata: el plan original para “Judgement Day” (es decir, lo que Harris y Klebold proyectaban que sucediese aquel 20 de abril); la segunda parte de su cronología delictiva, un año antes del ataque; y el nudo y desenlace del propio ataque, desde las 11:29h, cuando los dos jóvenes entraron en la biblioteca y, tras matar a diez personas y herir a doce más, entraron en la llamada “fase tranquila” para suicidarse poco después. Benja Villegas llena los vacíos del Open Space Meeting, o reunión conspiratoria para ocultar las pifias policiales, y también toca las dos secuelas más freak de la masacre: el caso de las cruces espontáneas y el improbable martirio de Cassie Bernall.
The Columbine High School shooting, which occurred on April 20th, 1999, shocked the nation and left an indelible mark on American society. The tragic event, where two students, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, carried out a meticulously planned attack, resulted in the loss of 13 innocent lives and left numerous others injured physically and emotionally. One disturbing aspect of the Columbine shooting was the choice of the date by the perpetrators. April 20th holds significance for various reasons, notably as the birthday of Adolf Hitler, the leader of Nazi Germany. The selection of this date by Harris and Klebold underscores the depth of their twisted ideology and their desire to leave a lasting impact through their heinous actions. However, amidst the sorrow and horror of the Columbine tragedy, there emerged a profound opportunity for reflection and learning. In the aftermath of the shooting, communities across the country grappled with issues of school safety, bullying, mental health awareness, and gun control. Columbine served as a wake-up call, prompting a national conversation on how to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future. Over the years, numerous measures have been implemented to enhance school security and support students' mental well-being. Schools have adopted stricter protocols for identifying and addressing potential threats, while also focusing on fostering inclusive and supportive environments to prevent isolation and alienation among students. Additionally, the Columbine shooting spurred efforts to reform gun laws and increase awareness about the importance of responsible gun ownership. While progress has been made in some areas, there remains much work to be done to address the complex intersection of mental health, societal influences, and access to firearms. As we reflect on the anniversary of the Columbine shooting, we honor the memory of the victims and renew our commitment to building safer communities. The legacy of Columbine serves as a reminder of the profound impact of senseless violence and the ongoing need for vigilance, empathy, and collective action to prevent future tragedies.

There are no two ways around this fact: today's conversation is tough. It's really, really tough. Today, April 20, 2024, marks 25 years since the Columbine High School massacre in Littleton, Colorado. I woke up this morning and read an article in People magazine about Frank DeAngelis, who was the principal at Columbine at the time of the shooting. In the article, DeAngelis said that every single morning, he wakes up and says the names of those killed in that day's horrible events. He said he almost died twice that day, and, in his words, “For whatever reason God spared me that day. So I need to try to help others.” I will take a page from Principal DeAngelis and begin this episode by saying the names of the 12 students and one teacher killed that day: Cassie Bernall, Steven Curnow, Corey DePooter, Kelly Fleming, Matt Kechter, Daniel Mauser, Danny Rohrbough, Dave Sanders, Rachel Scott, Isaiah Shoels, John Tomlin, Lauren Townsend, and Kyle Velasquez. Thirteen people who woke up on this morning 25 years ago and headed into school for what they probably imagined would be a typical Tuesday—and they never came home. Today on the show I have Dave Cullen, who wrote the definitive book on the Columbine massacre, simply titled Columbine, in 2009, 10 years after the attack happened. It took Dave a full decade to write this masterpiece, and he followed it up with a book about the Parkland school shooting, simply titled Parkland, in 2019. Dave's Columbine book has a new edition and we talk about that in today's episode. You can feel Dave's passion for a topic he spent a full decade writing about oozing throughout this conversation. I was 12 years old and in the sixth grade on April 20, 1999, when perpetrators Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold shot and killed 12 fellow classmates and a teacher at the school. The massacre was also an attempted bombing that failed, and 10 of the 12 students killed were in the school library, the epicenter of the attack, where Harris and Klebold also killed themselves at the massacre's end. When it happened, Columbine was the deadliest mass school shooting at a K-12 school in U.S. history; Harris and Klebold had been planning their attack for at least a year and planned for it to be primarily a bombing attack, and secondarily a shooting attack. When the bombs they'd built failed to detonate, they began shooting. Their motive remains inconclusive, but Dave and I get into the “why” of it all in our conversation today. Its aftermath has unfortunately spawned dozens of copycat killings, called “the Columbine effect,” and the word “Columbine” itself has become a word symbolizing school shootings. The attack took place from 11:19 a.m. to 12:08 p.m., culminating in the suicides of Harris and Klebold. In 2007, the Columbine Memorial opened to the public, and two years later, in 2009, Dave's book came out. Dave is considered the nation's foremost authority on Columbine, and his book covers two major storylines: the killers' evolution leading up to the attack, and the survivors' struggles with its aftermath after it happened. Chapters alternate between those two stories, and the book spent eight weeks on The New York Times bestseller list and won numerous awards, drawing comparisons to Truman Capote's classic In Cold Blood and Ann Rule's The Stranger Beside Me. This conversation is a difficult one, but necessary. Columbine by Dave Cullen The audiobook is also available “Confronting: Columbine” podcast
Jeff Kass was a reporter for the Colorado Rocky Mountain News on the day of the Columbine High School massacre - April 20, 1999. In the aftermath, he wrote a comprehensive account of that harrowing nightmare entitled 'Columbine: A True Crime Story.' He joins Dan to reflect on his experience documenting the case.Also, former 18th district attorney George Brauchler details the lessons for law enforcement and schools, 25 years after the tragedy of Columbine.
The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 4th study session on Lionel Dahmer's A Father's Story. Gus was quite resistant to reading this book. However, this moment provides a singular opportunity for counter-racist literary scholars. We just concluded our read of Sue Klebold's memoir and an in depth examination of the 1999 Columbine tragedy. The two cowardly, Racist perpetrators of that massacre were infatuated with serial killers and Jeffrey Dahmer specifically. They did a school project on the Wisconsin cannibal. Since we just heard Mrs. Klebold deflect blame and lie for she and her murdering son, Gus thought it would be a great brain exercise to see if Jeffrey Dahmer's pops behaves in a similar manner. Astute readers are asked to compare and contrast these two White memoirs with extreme care. Incidentally, the astronomically successful Netflix series debuted on September 21st of 2022. And just weeks ago, Fox Nation debuted the series: My Son Jeffrey. Gus said last year that it's important that this series of bloodletting was/is being released in sync with the autumn equinox and the coming "halloween" holiday. Last week Lionel paused to deliver a measured retort to charges that his serial killing son is a Racist. He acknowledged that the bulk of Dahmer's victims were black males, but says Jeff just wanted male bodies. Racial classification was irrelevant. It just happened to be that lots of black dudes are poor, vulnerable, and willing to accept the meager cash payouts Jeff used to lure victims. Listeners and Gus found it stunning that Lionel casually accepts that his son is a cannibal, child molesting (raping), alcoholic, serial killer. But admitting that Jeff is a Racist is a bridge too far. Lionel continues to emphasizes his own "dark" tendencies and inner thoughts - even admitting that he too pondered killing some folks. #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Last week we read about Jeff snaring a job at the Ambrosia Chocolate Factory and shacking up with his paternal grandmother even after his arrest for child molestation of a non-white boy, Somsack Sinthasomphone. Ol' Jeff began killing sexually vulnerable non-white males in his grandma's basement. Grandma Dahmer apparently saw a victim stagger away from the property, but Jeff concocted a lie to lower her suspicion. Grandma wised up and raised concerns after she found Jeff's pistol. His dad confronted Jeff and found his peculiar wooden box. Lionel and Jeffrey nearly have a physical confrontation after Jeffrey refuses to reveal the contents. Court proceedings reveal the contents of the box to be a human skull and male genitals. #TheDelectableNegro #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

He details his wife Joyce's prescription drug addiction as well as his own childhood obsessions with bombs and fires. Lionel Dahmer even admits to thinking about killing folks from time to time.

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 9th and final study session on Sue Klebold's A Mothers' Reckoning. Published nearly 20 years after the notorious 1999 Columbine High School massacre, where 13 people were killed, Mrs. Klebold is the White mother of Dylan Klebold - one of the cowardly White killers. After spending years in silence, Klebold stepped center stage to share her anguish over losing her child and her perspective on her child's attempt to slaughter hundreds of his classmates while disintegrating the high school. Colorado Public Radio reports the book has generated over $400,000 for numerous mental health groups. They have no evidence of direct payments to Mrs. Klebold. Last week, Sue told us about how much support and comfort she received from the White survivors of suicide loss. Deceptive Sue says she feared someone would spit in her face seeing her seated at a conference on suicide. This never happened. In fact, the White love and sympathy was so strong, Sue left her old, decrepit husband Tom fall by the wayside. She recounted a story of the family trip to visit the University of Arizona. "Dyl" flipped out when they stopped at a restaurant. Sue said he demanded they leave immediately because a group of kids were prepping to bully him. There was no evidence they were aware of Dylan's existence. Sue also shared the most important line of the book, where she outlines the difference between her hyper-White Denver suburb. "This wasn't the drug-riddled inner city, or some supposedly godless corridor like New York or Los Angeles. People who lived in Littleton were upstanding citizens with nice suburban houses and happy, healthy, well-fed children. We expected our schools to be safe." #AnneFrank #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 8th study session on Sue Klebold's A Mothers' Reckoning. Published nearly 20 years after the notorious 1999 Columbine High School massacre, where 13 people were killed, Mrs. Klebold is the White mother of Dylan Klebold - one of the cowardly White killers. After spending years in silence, Klebold stepped center stage to share her anguish over losing her child and her perspective on her child's attempt to slaughter hundreds of his classmates while disintegrating the high school. Colorado Public Radio reports the book has generated over $400,000 for numerous mental health groups. They have no evidence of payments to Mrs. Klebold. Last week, finally got to Dylan's 1999 essay on a six foot tall White man in a trench coat who slaughters a group of people. Klebold claims she never saw the paper and the informal conference with English teacher Judith Kelly was warm and offered no hint of grave concern. Kelly wrote an open letter in 2019 saying Klebold has lied about their meeting for years. She accuses Klebold of making false claims that they discussed the treachery of Eric Harris and Dylan's inappropriate chuckles in class. In fact, Klebold says that Dylan's calculus teacher stressed that Dylan is a respectful pupil who snoozes in class from time to time and struggles with motivation. These chats were about 30 days before the massacre. In fact, Sue says in the months leading up the attempted bombing, Dylan became hostile and combative. She describe pushing him against the fridge after he forgets about her "mother's day gift." He tells her abruptly that he cannot control his temper and things could get medieval if she didn't back off. #PersonalResponsibility #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#

Denver Public Radio reports the book has generated over $400,000 for numerous mental health groups. They have no evidence of payments to Mrs. Klebold. Last week, Sue began detailing Dylan's turbulent junior year at Columbine. He and Eric were arrested, and Sue suggests they took the episode seriously. They allegedly reduced the boys contact with each other for a period after chatting with the Harrises. Sue even makes time to address the diversion form where it states that her older son Byron was booted from the house for narcotics. In the memoir she says this was a mutually agreed upon decision without rancor. She continues to heap all the blame on Eric - following the trend of labeling him a psychopath, while insisting Dylan was a sad victim of peer pressure and bullying. Sue mentions the Regina Huerter report on the culture of Columbine High School, but skillfully omits the line about students thinking Dylan and Eric were "mean and rude." #Sparky #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#
The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 6th study session on Sue Klebold's A Mothers' Reckoning. Published nearly 20 years after the notorious 1999 Columbine High School massacre, where 13 people were killed, Mrs. Klebold is the White mother of Dylan Klebold - one of the cowardly White killers. After spending years in silence, Klebold stepped center stage to share her anguish over losing her child and her perspective on her cowardly offspring's attempt to slaughter hundreds of his classmates while disintegrating the high school. Colorado Public Radio reports the book has generated over $400,000 for numerous mental health groups. They have no evidence of payments to Mrs. Klebold. Last week, Klebold provides a brief glimpse of the horror of "the basement tapes," where her son and the other killer make it plain that this was a meticulously planned bombing. In a deft move of deception, "Mother Superior" pivoted from the hours of footage explaining the motivations and goals for the slaughter. She spends more time talking about why many White "experts" agree that showing the footage would inspire "copy cats" and admiration for the gunmen. Which happened anyway. Mama Klebold also confessed to being angry with the creator about her son's attempt to slaughter hundreds of his classmates. Klebold includes that she received quite a bit of fan mail from "Columbiners" who sanctified Dylan and whined about being bullied themselves. Listeners and Gus found this odd since Klebold told us her mail was being vetted for unseemly commentary. Fanboy/Fangirl love letters aren't verboten? Ms. Klebold also told a number of enormous lies. She said she didn't know anything about Dylan's underage drinking and she says Eric made no comment about how the massacre would impact his parents. Dylan, affectionately known as "VoDKa," confesses to alcohol consumption during the diversion program for his felony arrest. Eric laments how his actions will destroy his parents on the restricted "basement tapes." Dave Cullen talks about this part of the footage in the book we just read. #Wholesome #Charades #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#

After spending years in silence, Klebold stepped center stage to share her anguish over losing her child and her perspective on her Dylan's attempt to slaughter hundreds of his classmates while disintegrating the high school. Colorado Public Radio reports the book has generated over $400,000 for numerous mental health groups. They have no evidence of payments to Mrs. Klebold. Last week Sue continued her "pity party" and White Victimhood by invoking metaphors suggesting she was a slave. In one example, she says being renown as the mother of the Columbine killer was "like a cattle brand." Ms. Klebold confesses that she relied on "black [negro] humor" to survive the early days of grief. She repeatedly insists that she was threatened, hated, and the target of bullying and alienation after the failed bombing, but there is no evidence to support this. To the contrary, she herself and numerous other sources detail relatively widespread support and sympathy for the Klebolds. "Dyl's" mom loses some of the facade when she details the police report near the end of 1999, where Jefferson County Sheriff's Office gives a macabre account of Rebel and VoDKa's long, methodical plan to eviscerate the school. Ol' Sue had been lying to (and us) about her offspring's role as a mass-school shooter and wannabee bomber. Suspected Racist Sue Klebold's view of sweet, innocent, blond Dylan was shattered even before viewing the "basement tapes." #MasterDeceiver #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE: 564943#

Denver Public Radio reports the book has generated over $400,000 for numerous mental health groups. They have no evidence of payments to Mrs. Klebold. Last week Klebold emphasized the slum existence Dylan endured in Littleton. They purchased a rat infested house with a leaky pool, cracked tennis courts, broken windows and raccoons aplenty. Sue emphasizes the ramshackle, hand-me-down nature of their existence: Dylan's rusty, $400 BMW that barely ran, and the equally rusty, castoff bicycles a neighbor gave them en route to the landfill. Gus assumes the rental properties she and Tom owned before Dylan's failed bombing were probably vermin-infested and downtrodden too. Interestingly, Sue discloses that Tom was not interested in penning an apology to the families of those killed by their child. Tom allegedly refused to accept any culpability for this massacre. Sue did pursue writing the letters. However, she viewed Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold as "victims" in this event as well. The chat bots will gladly tell you this is illogical rubbish: perpetrators can't be victims of their own homicidal mayhem. Sue and Tom are not "victims" in this tragedy either. #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Last week, Klebold dropped a Mike Tyson knockout blow on readers alleging that she was the Victim of the town's "wrath" following the school massacre. Lame ol' Sue thought we forgot that on the day of the Columbine attack, her homicidal White urchin wore a t-shirt emblazoned with the word: "WRATH." Sue even told on herself accidentally, saying that the one school picture of her child media outlets projected to the world portrayed Dylan as some loser dude you'd avoid if possible. She gave us even more details about the whole city - if not the state - looking out for the well being, and protecting them from the paparazzi. She even made time to tell inform us that she was raised Jewish, which disqualifies Dylan (and the Klebold klan en total) from being Racist. #MotherSuperior #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Denver Public Radio reports the book has generated over $400,000 for numerous mental health groups. They had no evidence of payments to Mrs. Klebold. Last week, we heard a chunky introduction from Andrew Solomon, a gay White man, who insists that the Klebolds and other parents of White shooters are not to blame for their homicidal offspring. She also tells us what a swell person and parent Sue is, and he joins Dave Cullen, another gay White Man, in affixing most of the blame to the "psychopath" Eric Harris. Sue recalls her intense denial about her child's involvement in the school bombing and shooting. She then details how her White homies constructed a modern underground railroad to sneak the Klebold family out of town away from the media frenzy. They tucked roast beef sandwiches in her hand and assured her she was still "one of us" - meaning the White race. #MotherSuperior #BomberMan #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts debut study session on Sue Klebold's A Mothers' Reckoning. Published nearly 20 years after the notorious 1999 Columbine High School massacre, where 13 people were killed, Mrs. Klebold is the White mother of Dylan Klebold - one of the cowardly White killers. After spending years in silence, Klebold stepped center stage to share her anguish over losing her child and her perspective on her child's attempt to slaughter hundreds of his classmates while disintegrating the high school. Allegedly, a percentage of the proceeds are donated to mental health causes. Given The C.O.W.S.'s recent and extensive research on this subject matter, we should be in prime position to interrogate what this Racist Suspect mother has to say. Gus finds it noteworthy that Andrew Solomon, a "gay" White male, Suspected Racist, authors the introduction to the book. Cullen is also a "gay" White male, and the both write to absolve Dylan of responsibility for killing children and practicing White Supremacy. #MotherSuperior #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 10th study session on Dave Cullen's COLUMBINE. On April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 13 people and injured 24 more at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. This week, we inch towards the conclusion of Cullen's work. We learned about the police failures and outright lies that enabled this cowardly White tandem. Cullen minimizes the corruption of the Jefferson County Sheriffs Office and omits much of the evidence of these White boys's Racism - such as reports of their Racist Jokes and they're routine public commentary about killing black people and "Jews." He also omits their fascination with Racist serial killers like Jeffrey Dahmer and Charles Manson. Last week, Cullen told us sweet Dylan didn't really want to kill anyone. Cullen would have us believe "VoDKa" dry snitched to his teacher by writing one of the most violent reports possible - something both these two did frequently. He also submits Dylan was not a part of the bomb-making and weapons assembly. This is contradicted by footage of Klebold and Harris practicing at the gun range. Neither looked reluctant to shoot. It's also more difficult to think Dylan was disinterested in bloodshed since he's accused of calling Isaiah Shoels Racist Names and dragging him out to be killed. Again, Cullen leave this part out. #MakeMyDay #BomberMan #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 9th study session on Dave Cullen's COLUMBINE. On April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 13 people and injured 24 more at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. This week, we continue our exploration of Cullen's narrative of the events leading up to the massacre, the motivations of the White killers, and the aftermath of the slaughter. The teen duo apparently had contact with enforcement officers well in advance of the shooting. In addition to factual errors, like Eric Harris's supposed tryst with twenty-something Brenda Parker, Cullen omits much of the evidence of these White boys's Racism - such as reports of their Racist Jokes and routine public commentary about killing black people and "Jews." He also omits their fascination with Racist serial killers like Jeffrey Dahmer and Charles Manson. Last week, Cullen told us Dylan was depressed and slacking hard during his final year of high school leading up to the massacre. It's as though we are supposed to forget Vodka is the one accepted to college. Eric had no post graduation plans. Cullen compares the two White teens to other terrorist actors of the decade like Timothy McVeigh and the Palestinian Liberation Army. This ignores other White bombers like Ted Kaczynski and Eric Rudolph who were actively killing people during the same period. The Columbine duo used similar terrorist techniques to Rudolph - secondary explosives to potentially kill first responding police and medical personnel. Klebold and Harris should be grouped with and understood within the context of a decade dominated White Terrorists who bombed and killed for thrills and personal grievances. #MakeMyDay #BomberMan #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 8th study session on Dave Cullen's COLUMBINE. On April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 13 people and injured 24 more at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. This week, we continue our exploration of Cullen's narrative of the events leading up to the massacre, the motivations of the White killers, and the aftermath of the slaughter. The teen duo apparently had contact with enforcement officers well in advance of the shooting. Last week, we got enough detail for Gus to conclude it was criminally negligent that Harris and Klebold's parents, school officials and local enforcement officers failed to intercept this plot. TWO separate White people found one of Eric Harris's explosive devices in advance of the attack. Each of these two highly intelligent young lads had been suspended from school, a felony arrest record, and both admitted to underage substance use. If these were two black boys, they would have been "pipelined" to prison before they could spell bomb - their parents too. Cullen also detailed the extraordinary hypocrisy with Cassie Bernall's parents choosing to publish a book of lies about their daughter's murder. Evidence and witnesses revealed that Valeen Schnurr was the victim who acknowledged her belief in God, not Cassie. In addition to publishing a bestseller with a debunked title (She Said Yes), Misty Bernall took sabbatical from her job at Lockheed Martin to pen a dishonest book. Lockheed Martin is the local Denver bomb-making factory for the US government (so-called). Timothy McVeigh, Eric Rudolph, Ted Kaczynski, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold represent the White, private citizen "bomber man." #MakeMyDay #BomberMan #WhatDoesItMeanToBeWhite #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 7th study session on Dave Cullen's COLUMBINE. On April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 13 people and injured 24 more at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. This week, we continue our exploration of Cullen's narrative of the events leading up to the massacre, the motivations of the White killers, and the aftermath of the slaughter. The teen duo apparently had contact with enforcement officers well in advance of the shooting. Last week, we learned more about the tandems' arrest for stealing from vehicle in advance of the massacre. The boys were suspended from school hacking to school computers to break into students lockers. Wayne Harris found one of his son's pipe bombs, and was allegedly stymied about how to dispose of the device. Dylan Klebold's journal has strong homoerotic tones when taking about intense bond to Zack. In fact, Dylan dreams about killing Zack's White girlfriend for breaking up their "threesome." Harris and Klebold's parents remained dedicated to their code and said next to nothing to police. In fact, the Harrises allegedly never said anything. #BombersRow #EricRudolph #RockyMountainBoom #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 5th study session on Dave Cullen's COLUMBINE. The April 20th, 1999 Colorado High School shooting resulted in 15 casualties - including the two White shooters. Eric "Rebel" Harris and Dylan "VODKA" Klebold used firearms and bombs to slaughter their classmates before taking their own lives. This massacre inspired school shootings around the world, changed law enforcement's rules of engagement, and remains one of the most significant events of the last 30 years. Harris and Klebold were allegedly fascinated with Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. They carried out the attack on Hitler's birthday and a mere 4 years after Timothy McVeigh's bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building - which was on April 19th, 1995. The White teen duo apparently had contact with enforcement officers well in advance of the shooting. Last week, we learned more details about the police response to the carnage. Local officials lied about going inside the school within a half hour of the first call. Actually, it took closer to an hour for police enter the school. The Klebolds describe the funeral service for Dylan. Out of fear that his grave site would be vandalized, they had his remains cremated. Apparently, the Harris family employed a No Snitch policy about their "homegoing" services for Eric. We also heard graphic details about teacher David Sanders last moments before perishing. If Police had entered sooner, he may have survived. #SayAPrayerForTheYouthOfAmerica #TheGreatEqualizer #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 4th study session on Dave Cullen's COLUMBINE. The April 20th, 1999 Colorado High School shooting resulted in 15 casualties - including the two White shooters. Eric "Rebel" Harris and Dylan "VODKA" Klebold used firearms and bombs to slaughter their classmates before taking their own lives. This massacre inspired school shootings around the world, changed law enforcement's rules of engagement, and remains one of the most significant events of the last 30 years.

The White teen duo apparently had contact with enforcement officers well in advance of the shooting. Importantly, this week's session is the same week as the first year since the Uvalde, Texas school shooting where a gunman killed 19 students and 2 teachers. Once again, a delayed police response is substantial point of conflict. Speaking of which, we learned more details about the police and SWAT teams slow (cowardly?) process of entering Columbine High School to free the students. Sheriff Stone, and many members of the White press originally got key details of the murders wrong - including the number of deaths. Isaiah Shoels' parents were comforted by a group of White "evangelicals" once it was revealed the teen was deceased. At this point, readers are only aware that Shoels is one of the few black students in the school. We have no information about how he was killed. We also get more details about how Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris's White parents and classmates cooperated with or withheld information from enforcement officials. And we heard how law enforcement already knew about this criminal tandem. They had police records and had already threatened to kill. #NaturalBornKillers #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 3rd study session on Dave Cullen's COLUMBINE. The April 20th, 1999 Colorado High School shooting resulted in 15 casualties - including the two White shooters. Eric "Rebel" Harris and Dylan "VODKA" Klebold used firearms and bombs to slaughter their classmates before taking their own lives. This massacre inspired school shootings around the world, changed law enforcement's rules of engagement, and remains one of the most significant events of the last 30 years. Harris and Klebold were allegedly fascinated with Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. They carried out the attack on Hitler's birthday and a mere 4 years after Timothy McVeigh's bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building - which was on April 19th, 1995. The White teen duo apparently had contact with enforcement officers well in advance of the shooting. Last week, many listeners commented on the tone and word choice in the book. Specifically, they submitted that the text sounded like an action movie that praises the intelligence and upstart personality of these White teen terrorists. We also made note of the extraordinary resources available to the students of Columbine High School: Psychology classes, patio area for White teen smokers (presumably illegal), unarmed security officers on site, off campus lunch for students with cars. Cullen gives a second-by-second account of how the attack unfolds. Surprisingly, many victims reported hearing the gun fire, but incorrectly thinking the noise must be a prank, student movie, or other non-violent school project. Some even ran towards the White gunman because they wanted to be apart of "the fun" or to admonish the duo for their excessive noise. Orenthal James Simpson is mentioned in this week's reading. Addendum: During the program, there was confusion about whether the black parents of Isaiah Shoels were being comforted by White people or if these non-white people were reassuring White parents. Lauren contacted Mr. Cullen. He confirmed that Shoels's parents were being comforted by Whites. #OJSimpson #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Last week we heard about the construction of Columbine High School, which was the product of White parents wanting to avoid sending their White children to school with black boys and girls in the Denver Public School system. Harris and Klebold bragged about their teen liquor consumption and admired Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.

The 1999 Columbine massacre was televised live for the country to see in real time. Students inside the high school watched their own tragedy on CNN as they searched for answers to what was happening. To watch oneself, by oneself is the hopelessness of American despair. The fuel for this American despair is the reigning ideology of hyper-individualism: constructing an Empire of the Self. This requires the forever updating and remodeling of the self: Me Inc. Both Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold had absences of hope: neither had found love and both wrestled with ideas about god and death. Eric's sense of God-like superiority was paired with sadistic nihilism (absence of god), while Dylan's sense of inferiority and depression was one of hopelessness. They could not see themselves or the world as ever changing. They took an absolutist reading of social Darwinian logic to legitimize their actions and it was meant to be televised for the whole world to see. Their despair manifested as powerlessness and agitation. They relinquished any responsibility for their actions and transformed themselves into violence (murder) and incapacitation (suicide) for self-aggrandizement. They were building a sadistic brand and media empire in order to fulfill the Top Gun script (to be the Best of the Best). The scripting was promoted through Games they played: Kick Me, Cops N Robbers, Now I've Got You, You SOB!, I Can't Stand It, etc. In the moment, Columbine was a personalized form of colonialism, Fascism, and imperialism. Harris and Klebold forced a symbiotic relationship with the people of the U.S. in order to dominate space-time (on the airwaves) through an act of revenge. This was performative crime exhibited on TV for the masses in order to instill fear and impotence. Visit MankatoTherapist.com for more information and to contact Andrew Archer.

Almost 200 million views in four days for the new Netflix docu-series on Jeffrey Dahmer, for these fixated on the evil. But, even the final episode leaves out the real story, the real motive, the real explanation, the real insight provided in the NBC Stone Phillips interview. Although what's available from the 1994 interview has been heavily redacted, we have uncovered the explosive four minutes in the interview that explains the real motive of evil, and the only corrective to it. The world doesn't want to face the true implications of evolutionary naturalism—as clearly presented by the testimony of Jeffrey Dahmer, and Klebold and Harris. The world just doesn't want to face the truth—either of the cause or the solution. The world would rather muck around in the evil and surrender themselves to the horror of it than they would acknowledge the supremacy of Jesus Christ over the works of the devil.

Active Shooter Tirador activo o asesino activo describe al autor de un tipo de asesinato en masa marcado por la rapidez, la escala, la aleatoriedad y a menudo, el suicidio. El Departamento de Seguridad Nacional de Estados Unidos define a un tirador activo como "un individuo que se dedica activamente a matar o a intentar matar a personas en un área confinada y poblada; en la mayoría de los casos, los tiradores activos utilizan armas de fuego y no hay un patrón o método para su selección de víctimas". La mayoría de los incidentes se producen en lugares en los que los asesinos encuentran pocos impedimentos para llevar a cabo su ataque. Los lugares se describen generalmente como objetivos blandos, es decir, cuentan con medidas de seguridad limitadas para proteger a los miembros del público. En la mayoría de los casos, los tiradores se suicidan, son abatidos por la policía o se rinden cuando el enfrentamiento con las fuerzas del orden que responden es inevitable, y los sucesos de tiradores activos suelen terminar en 10 o 15 minutos. Según las estadísticas del Departamento de Policía de la Ciudad de Nueva York (NYPD), el 46 por ciento de los incidentes de tiradores activos terminan con la aplicación de la fuerza por parte de la policía o la seguridad, el 40 por ciento terminan con el suicidio del tirador, el 14 por ciento de las veces el tirador se rinde, y en menos del 1 por ciento de los casos la violencia termina con la huida del atacante. Columbine High School Massacre La masacre de Columbine High School fue un tiroteo escolar e intento de atentado que tuvo lugar el 20 de abril de 1999 en el Columbine High School de Columbine, Colorado, Estados Unidos. Los autores, los estudiantes de duodécimo curso (senior) Eric Harris y Dylan Klebold, asesinaron a 12 estudiantes y a un profesor. Diez estudiantes fueron asesinados en la biblioteca de la escuela, donde ambos se suicidaron posteriormente. Otras 21 personas resultaron heridas por disparos, y también hubo un intercambio de disparos con la policía. Otras tres personas resultaron heridas al intentar escapar. En aquel momento, fue el tiroteo más mortífero en la historia de los Estados Unidos. El tiroteo ha inspirado docenas de imitaciones (conocidas como el efecto Columbine), incluyendo muchos tiroteos más mortíferos en todo el mundo. La palabra "Columbine" se ha convertido en un sinónimo de los tiroteos escolares. Harris y Klebold pretendían que el ataque fuera principalmente un atentado con bomba, y un tiroteo secundario, pero el fracaso de la detonación de las varias bombas caseras que colocaron en la escuela hizo que la pareja lanzara un ataque con disparos. Se colocaron dos bombas como distracción en otro lugar alejado de la escuela, una de las cuales detonó parcialmente. El motivo sigue sin ser concluyente; sin embargo, habían planeado el ataque durante al menos un año y esperaban tener un gran número de víctimas. La policía tardó en entrar en la escuela y fue muy criticada por no intervenir durante el tiroteo. El incidente dio lugar a la introducción de la táctica de Acción Inmediata y Despliegue Rápido, que se utiliza en situaciones de tiradores activos. Columbine también dio lugar a un mayor énfasis en la seguridad escolar con políticas de tolerancia cero. Se desencadenaron debates y pánico moral sobre las armas y las leyes de control de armas, las camarillas de los institutos, las subculturas (por ejemplo, los góticos), los marginados y el acoso escolar, así como el uso por parte de los adolescentes de antidepresivos farmacéuticos, Internet y la violencia en los videojuegos y las películas. Tras la masacre se crearon muchos monumentos conmemorativos improvisados, como el coche de las víctimas Rachel Scott y el camión de John Tomlin. También se erigieron quince cruces para las víctimas y los tiradores en la cima de una colina del parque Clement. Las cruces para Harris y Klebold se retiraron

This week we dive into one of the world's most infamous school shootings in history; the tragic Columbine High School Massacre in Littleton, Colorado. At 11:19 AM, 17-year-old Rachel Scott and her friend Richard Castaldo were having lunch and sitting on the grass next to the west entrance of the school. Klebold threw a pipe bomb towards the parking lot; the bomb only partially detonated, causing it to give off smoke. Castaldo thought it was no more than a crude senior prank. Likewise, several students during the incident first thought that they were watching a prank. A witness reported hearing "Go! Go!" before Klebold and Harris pulled their guns from beneath their trench coats and began shooting. Scott was killed instantly when she was hit four times with rounds fired from Harris' carbine; one shot was to the left temple. Castaldo was shot eight times in the chest, arm, and abdomen; he fell unconscious to the ground and was left paralyzed below the chest. This was only the beginning...

Davatzes joined the company as CEO in 1983 just as A&E Networks was formed through the merger of fledgling cable channels Entertainment Network, owned by RCA and the Rockefeller family, and ARTS Network, owned by Hearst and ABC. A+E Networks today is a 50-50 joint venture of the Walt Disney Co. and Hearst Corp. Davatzes served as CEO emeritus. Davatzes led the company's launch of the signature A&E Network (an amalgam of Arts and Entertainment) in 1984 and History Channel in 1995 (History formally dropped “Channel” from its moniker in 2008). He served as CEO of the parent company through 2005, when he was succeeded by protege Abbe Raven, who started at the company as a secretary. Davatzes was known for promoting educational outreach and the importance of industry R&D during his run at A&E Networks. The company later expanded to include the Lifetime cable channel as well as more recent entries like lifestyle channel FYI and Lifetime Movie Network. Disney executive chairman Bob Iger hailed him as a “towering figure in the early days of cable television (who helped) build some of the most iconic brands in the media landscape.” Iger added that he was “a person of true integrity.” He died in Wilton, Connecticut.24th August 2021 – Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts passes away at 80 - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-08-25/rolling-stones-drummer-charlie-watts-dies-at-age-80/100404658Charlie Watts, the drummer who provided the backbone of the Rolling Stones' songs for more than half a century, has died. Watts "passed away peacefully in a London hospital earlier today surrounded by his family," his publicist Bernard Doherty said. "Charlie was a cherished husband, father and grandfather and also as a member of The Rolling Stones, as one of the greatest drummers of his generation." The quiet, elegantly dressed Watts was often ranked with Keith Moon, Ginger Baker and a handful of others as a premier rock drummer, respected worldwide for his muscular, swinging style as the band rose from its scruffy beginnings to international superstardom. He joined the Stones early in 1963 and remained over the next 60 years, ranked just behind Jagger and Keith Richards as the group's longest lasting and most essential members. Watts stayed on, and largely held himself apart, through the drug abuse, creative clashes and ego wars that helped kill founding member Brian Jones, drove bassist Bill Wyman and Jones' replacement Mick Taylor to quit and otherwise made being in the Stones the most exhausting of jobs. The Stones began, Watts said, "as white blokes from England playing black American music" but quickly evolved their own distinctive sound. Watts was a jazz drummer in his early years and never lost his affinity for the music he first loved, heading his own jazz band and taking on numerous other side projects. He had his eccentricities — Watts liked to collect cars even though he didn't drive and would simply sit in them in his garage. But he was a steadying influence on stage and off as the Stones defied all expectations by rocking well into their 70s, decades longer than their old rivals The Beatles. He died in London with his family around him.25th August 2021 – Linux turns 30 - https://www.zdnet.com/article/linus-torvalds-on-linuxs-30th-birthday/ In 1991, Unix was an important but secondary x86 operating system. That year, on August 25, a mild-mannered Finnish graduate student named Linus Benedict Torvalds announced on the Usenet group comp.os.minix that he was working on "a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones." No one knew it, not even Torvalds, but the technology was going to change forever. Thirty years later, Linux rules IT. Almost all major websites -- including Google, Facebook, and Wikipedia -- run on Linux. It's the same with the clouds. Even on Microsoft's own Azure, the most popular operating system is Linux. As for supercomputers, all 500 of the world's fastest 500 supercomputers run Linux. Thanks to Android, Linux is also the most popular end-user operating system. Not bad for a hobby operating system! In those very first days, Linux wasn't formally known as Linux. Torvalds explained, "Linux was my working name, but I never wanted to release it as Linux. Linux was a perfectly good working name, but if I actually used it as the official one, people would think that I am an egomaniac and wouldn't take it seriously. So I chose this very bad name, "Freax," for "Free Unix." Fortunately, the first Linux administrator Ari Lemmk, decided Freax was a silly name too. Hence, he actually named it Linux because he thought this internal project name was Torvalds first choice.Remembrances25th August 1822 – William Herschel - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_HerschelGerman-born British astronomer and composer. He frequently collaborated with his younger sister and fellow astronomer Caroline Lucretia Herschel. Born in the Electorate of Hanover, William Herschel followed his father into the military band of Hanover, before emigrating to Great Britain in 1757 at the age of nineteen. Herschel constructed his first large telescope in 1774, after which he spent nine years carrying out sky surveys to investigate double stars. Herschel published catalogues of nebulae in 1802 (2,500 objects) and in 1820 (5,000 objects). The resolving power of the Herschel telescopes revealed that many objects called nebulae in the Messier catalogue were actually clusters of stars. On 13 March 1781 while making observations he made note of a new object in the constellation of Gemini. This would, after several weeks of verification and consultation with other astronomers, be confirmed to be a new planet, eventually given the name of Uranus. This was the first planet to be discovered since antiquity, and Herschel became famous overnight. As a result of this discovery, George III appointed him Court Astronomer. He was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society and grants were provided for the construction of new telescopes. Herschel pioneered the use of astronomical spectrophotometry, using prisms and temperature measuring equipment to measure the wavelength distribution of stellar spectra. In the course of these investigations, Herschel discovered infrared radiation. Other work included an improved determination of the rotation period of Mars, the discovery that the Martian polar caps vary seasonally, the discovery of Titania and Oberon (moons of Uranus) and Enceladus and Mimas (moons of Saturn). Herschel was made a Knight of the Royal Guelphic Order in 1816. He was the first President of the Royal Astronomical Society when it was founded in 1820. He died at the age of 83 at Observatory House, Windsor Road, Slough Herschel's epitaph is Coelorum perrupit claustra (He broke through the barriers of the heavens).Famous Birthdays25th August 1819 – Allan Pinkerton - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_PinkertonScottish–American detective and spy, best known for creating the Pinkerton National Detective Agency. Pinkerton first became interested in criminal detective work while wandering through the wooded groves around Dundee, looking for trees to make barrel staves, when he came across a band of counterfeiters, who may have been affiliated with the notorious Banditti of the Prairie. After observing their movements for some time he informed the local sheriff, who arrested them. This later led to Pinkerton being appointed, in 1849, as the first police detective in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. In 1850, he partnered with Chicago attorney Edward Rucker in forming the North-Western Police Agency, which later became Pinkerton & Co, and finally Pinkerton National Detective Agency, still in existence today as Pinkerton Consulting and Investigations, a subsidiary of Securitas AB. Pinkerton's business insignia was a wide open eye with the caption "We never sleep." As the US expanded in territory, rail transport increased. Pinkerton's agency solved a series of train robberies during the 1850s, first bringing Pinkerton into contact with George McClellan, then Chief Engineer and Vice President of the Illinois Central Railroad, and Abraham Lincoln, the company's lawyer. When the Civil War began, Pinkerton served as head of the Union Intelligence Service during the first two years, heading off an alleged assassination plot in Baltimore, Maryland while guarding Abraham Lincoln on his way to Washington, D.C. as well as identifying troop numbers in military campaigns. His agents often worked undercover as Confederate soldiers and sympathizers to gather military intelligence. Pinkerton himself served on several undercover missions as a Confederate soldier using the alias Major E.J. Allen. He worked across the Deep South in the summer of 1861, focusing on fortifications and Confederate plans. This counterintelligence work done by Pinkerton and his agents is comparable to the work done by today's U.S. Army Counterintelligence Special Agents in which Pinkerton's agency is considered an early predecessor. He was succeeded as Intelligence Service chief by Lafayette Baker; the Intelligence Service was the predecessor of the U.S. Secret Service. His work led to the establishment of the Federal secret service. Despite his agency's later reputation for anti-labor activities, Pinkerton himself was heavily involved in pro-labor politics as a young man. Though Pinkerton considered himself pro-labor, he opposed strikes and distrusted labor unions. He was born in Gorbals, Glasgow.Events of Interest25th August 1957- The Invisible Man Vs. The Human Fly premiered in Japan - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0204691/ A star is born! On this day in 1957 (in Japan), The Invisible Man Vs. The Human Fly took to the silver screen for a monster of a pairing! Directed by Mitsuo Murayama, the SciFi/Fantasy starred Ryûji Shinagawa and Yoshirô Kitahara; and here's the plot summary: "A ruthless serial killer with a peculiar method of stalking and killing his victims comes face to face with a police officer turned invisible by a scientific experiment. Who will emerge triumphant?" In the late 1950s, in the United States this film was announced, and stills were published, under the English language title "The Murdering Mite." This film shares part of its Japanese title with the Japanese release of the much better-known 1958 U.S. science fiction film The Fly, which was released in Japan as Fear of the Fly Man (ハエ男の恐怖 Hae Otoko no Kyōfu), though with the 'Fly' in "Fly Man" spelled in katakana rather than kanji characters. While both films feature "fly men," The Invisible Man vs. The Human Fly actually predates the latter film by almost an entire year.25th August 1989 – Voyager 2 spacecraft makes its closest approach to Neptune, the last planet in the Solar System at the time, due to Pluto being within Neptune's orbit from 1979 to 1999 - https://www.wired.com/2010/08/0825voyager2-neptune/ Voyager 2 makes its closest encounter with Neptune, passing just 3,000 miles above the cloud tops of the most distant planet in our solar system. The Voyager 2 space probe has been our most productive unmanned space voyage. It visited all four of the outer planets and their systems of moons and rings, including the first visits to previously unexplored Uranus and Neptune. Voyager 2 found four rings and evidence for ring arcs, or incomplete rings, above Neptune. That means all four of the gas giants in our solar system have rings. Neptune's, however, are very meager compared to the magnificent rings around Saturn. In the late 19th century, astronomers thought that an unseen Planet X was influencing the orbits of Uranus and Neptune. The observed positions of the two planets and their calculated positions differed. Among those astronomers convinced of the existence of Planet X was Clyde Tombaugh. In 1930 while scanning areas of the sky for Planet X, he found Pluto. When Voyager 2 flew by Neptune, it took very precise measurements of Neptune's mass and found it to be about 0.5 percent less massive than previous estimates. When the orbits of Uranus and Neptune were recalculated using the more accurate mass figure, it became clear that the imprecise number for Neptune -- and not the gravity of an unseen planet -- had caused the observed orbital discrepancies. After its encounter with Neptune, the spacecraft was rechristened the Voyager Interstellar Mission by NASA to take measurements of the interplanetary magnetic field, plasma and charged-particle environment. But mostly it's searching for the heliopause, the distance at which the solar wind becomes subsumed by the more general interstellar wind.IntroArtist – Goblins from MarsSong Title – Super Mario - Overworld Theme (GFM Trap Remix)Song Link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GNMe6kF0j0&index=4&list=PLHmTsVREU3Ar1AJWkimkl6Pux3R5PB-QJFollow us onFacebook- Page - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/- Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/440485136816406/Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nerds_amalgamated/Email - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.comSupport via Podhero- https://podhero.com/podcast/449127/nerds-amalgamated See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In part two, we consider briefly the historical and modern foundation for the ideology espoused by the killers, which was largely fueled in the killers by the industrial rock scene of the 1990s. Briefly mentioned is the possibility of handlers, covert operations, and mind control. The symbolism found in the journal of Klebold, easily traces the spiritual elements driving their mania.
On April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold walked into Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. Over the course of minutes, they would kill twelve students and a teacher and wound twenty-four others before taking their own lives.For the last sixteen years, Sue Klebold, Dylan’s mother, has lived with the indescribable grief and shame of that day. How could her child, the promising young man she had loved and raised, be responsible for such horror? And how, as his mother, had she not known something was wrong? Were there subtle signs she had missed? What, if anything, could she have done differently?These are questions that Klebold has grappled with every day since the Columbine tragedy. In A Mother’s Reckoning, she chronicles with unflinching honesty her journey as a mother trying to come to terms with the incomprehensible. In the hope that the insights and understanding she has gained may help other families recognize when a child is in distress, she tells her story in full, drawing upon her personal journals, the videos and writings that Dylan left behind, and on countless interviews with mental health experts.Filled with hard-won wisdom and compassion, A Mother’s Reckoning is a powerful and haunting book that sheds light on one of the most pressing issues of our time. And with fresh wounds from the recent Newtown and Charleston shootings, never has the need for understanding been more urgent. give it a'listen Mentioned Links Here's the ABC Interview Friend of Mine by Jonathan and Stephen Cohen, survivors of the Columbine shootingFor more info on the Columbine massacre, here's a website where Dave Cullen, author of Columbine, compiled his research.

From "Blood on Black" available on Amazon "WHEN I GO GET ANGRY IT IS USUALLY NOT A PRETTY SITE." Though Damien Echols routinely and wrongly has been described as “innocent” or even “exonerated,” Jason Baldwin in many ways has been more effective with his assertions of innocence than the weird and off-putting Echols. The perpetually smiling Baldwin projects a whimsical and slightly goofy image for one supposedly mistreated by the justice system. In many ways unchanged from the skinny little murder defendant who looked as if he should still be drawing race cars and airplanes at the back of a classroom, Baldwin continues to speak without self-consciousness of his simple beliefs in justice, truth and loving your mom. While perpetual poser Echols scowls and sulks in his frequent media portraits, Baldwin today seems positively blithe. Crime novelist Charles Willeford's description of a heartless young criminal as a “blithe psychopath" sums up many a man lacking a conscience, eager to rob, rape, cheat or kill with never a doubt, qualm or worry. For those who consider Baldwin's actions on May 5, 1993, “out of character,” consider that his very best, his inseparable friend was a violent, mentally ill dabbler in the occult who went to great lengths to project an image of foreboding evil. In a hearing in 2009, Samuel Joseph Dwyer, a neighbor and playmate of the Baldwin brothers at Lakeshore in 1993, described how Jason began to adopt Echols' manner of dress and distinctive way of speaking after they began hanging out together. Even so, Dwyer carefully characterized Baldwin as someone who was not a follower, but as one who kept his own counsel. Jason, like the disturbed Echols and the thuggish Misskelley, already had had several brushes with the law prior to his arrest for murder. Also in counterpoint to his reputation as a mild-mannered animal lover with an artistic soul were several incidents of violent acting- out. There were troubling incidents. On June 5, 1987, the Baldwin/Grinnell clan was living in a rundown sec- tion of rural Shelby County when someone set fire to a bedroom with a lighter. Setting fires is one of the earliest and surest signs of budding criminal psychopathology. Exactly six years later, on June 5, 1993, in the first shock of the arrests, Jason's paternal grandmother, Jessie Mae Baldwin of Sheridan, Ark., expressed doubts about his innocence to the Commercial Appeal. She said, “I thought in my own mind when those boys were killed that my grandson is sorta superstitious about that devil stuff. He was always catching lizards and snakes, something was going on in that child's mind.” Years later, Baldwin testified he first was placed on probation when he was 11. As juvenile records are closed and Baldwin has been stingy with details, the facts surrounding this encounter with the law are not clear. In a letter to girlfriend Heather Cliett written from lockup, Baldwin wrote: “I have never been in jail before, except for once and I was only there for one hour that was nothing.” Most 16-year-olds would count a trip to jail as a life-defining moment, but for Baldwin getting into trouble was “nothing” and going to jail re- ally didn't count as going to jail. His thinking lacked proportion and betrayed a pervading sense of unfairness, hence his complaint that “they keep me locked up in my cell for 24 hours a day. while the other prisoners get to get out of their cells all day long to play games, eat steaks, and all kinds of stuff.” He made it sound as if he was not allowed to go to summer camp. At age 12, Jason, his brother Matt and several other boys broke into a building and went on a destructive spree vandalizing the antique cars stored inside. They broke out the windows on several autos and wrecked the place. They were caught jumping on the cars by two men who called the police. The boys were charged with breaking and entering and criminal mischief. The incident often has been framed as harmless adolescent mischief, but prosecutor John Fogleman was concerned enough to recommend that the boys be placed in reform school for two years. They were all placed on probation. Gail Grinnell was ordered to pay a fine of $450 each for her boys. Typically, family members portrayed this as an unfair burden on poor, hard- working Mom, who only paid $30 of the fine. Jason got into trouble again, at age 15, when he shoplifted potato chips and M&Ms from the Walgreens in West Memphis. He was placed on diversion of judgment for a year with the stipulations that he stay in school and out of trouble. That court order was one reason why Baldwin did not skip school on the day of the murders or the day after. Meanwhile, his family life was in turmoil. Jason's mother, known today as Angela Gail Grinnell Scheidmiller, had been involuntarily committed to the East Arkansas Regional Mental Health Center in February 1992. There had been four trips to the emer- gency room at Crittenden Memorial Hospital in January 1992, where Mrs. Grinnell was treated for self-inflicted wounds to the neck and arms, according to “Blood of Innocents.” Probate records indicated she was admitted for a period of up to 45 days because of “paranoid delusions,” including “hallucinations of a male voice” and the fear that she was dying of AIDS. Records indicated she had been abusing drugs since her teens. Around this time, dad Charles Baldwin, long absent, showed up for a visit with his two sons. According to “Dark Spell,” the boys so enjoyed their visit that they told their mother they would consider living with their dad for a while. This reportedly prompted a suicide attempt via cutting her wrists. Jason called 911 and his mother survived. This may have been the incident that prompted Jason to write in a school assignment in April 1993: “Once my mother tried to commit suicide and I know how I felt when that happened it was pretty devastating since I was the one who found her and called 911 and kept her alive, but …. my mother is well and happy now and so am I.” Despite Jason's sunny spin, his mother was neither well nor happy. In another writing assignment, Jason described a violent fight with his younger brother: “I am usually a calm person, and can take mostly of anything. But sometimes I get angry, when I do get angry it is usually not a pretty site. One time I had to babysit my two little brothers, one is 8, and the other is 13. I let Matt, the 13 year old go outside to play, or whatever he want, and I let Terry the 8 year old have some friends over. That was a mistake. I let them go in my room and play Super Nintendo, while I watched T.V. in the living room, I thought I had everything under control, but I was wrong. Those kids got to fighting over the game, and tore everything up in my room, it was a mess. I couldn't believe it. I made them clean everything up and leave. Then Matt got home griping as usual, and started aggravating me. He would run up and hit me and say ‘You can't hit me back, I'll tell mom' so I said tell mom boy, cause you're fixing to get it. I ran over there and grabbed him into a choke hold and held him there until his face turned bright red and then let him go. I said mess with me again and it'll be worse, so he pick up a broom and tried to hit me with it I grabbed the handle pulled it a little ways then pushed and it knocked him down, he didn't do nothing else but say ‘I'm still telling' I said ‘so' and he did and I got ground- ed for nothing.” Several key points: Jason tended to bottle up his anger until it exploded; Jason was deeply resentful over having to babysit his brothers and be “the man of the house”; there was a family pattern of violence with Matt not hesitating to attack with a broom after being choked by Jason until his face turned red; Jason was used to handling defiant younger children; Jason often felt he was not treated fairly, a complaint that has cropped up again and again in his public statements; Jason expressed no remorse about overreacting to Matt's provocation — he “got grounded for nothing” except chok- ing and knocking down his little brother. A typical psychopath is “usually a calm person” but when a psychopath does get angry, “it is usually not a pretty site.” Psychopaths are prone to retaliating over petty grievances that they view as affronts to their grandiose vision of themselves. They never take responsibility for anything unless there is a significant tradeoff in benefit to them. Their view of their own role in their misdeeds is grossly disproportional. Psychopaths expe- rience few qualms about their ruthless disregard for others, and they are highly adept at hiding their lack of normal, healthy humanity behind a superficially pleasing mask. His family life did nothing but exacerbate Jason's antisocial tendencies. Their mother's marriage to stepfather Terry Ray Grinnell had long been shaky, marked by violent arguments over Terry's habitual drinking on weekends. Jason often had to call the police, according to “Dark Spell,” and his stepfather often slapped not only their mother but Jason and Matt. A few weeks before he killed three little boys, Jason took a baseball bat to his stepfather during an argument and drove him from their home, according to Leveritt's book. “I took that little bat, and … I hit Terry with it. He hit the ground. I opened the door and said ‘leave,'” Baldwin told Leveritt in “Dark Spell.” Soon, a new boyfriend named ‘Dink' Dent would move in briefly. Dent had a lengthy rap sheet that included multiple counts of larceny, burglary and auto theft. The relationship did not last long. Grinnell and Dent broke up the very evening that Jason murdered three little boys. Dent gave key evidence that Jason was not home at the time of the murders. By the time of the arrests, the stepfather was back on the scene. When officers raided their home on June 3, 1993, Gail angrily accused Terry of turning in their son for the reward money. Asked by John Fogleman in September why she had reacted with that accusation, she said, “I don't know why I would have said that. In a case full of inarticulate, lying, confused and confusing witnesses, Gail Grinnell was notably incoherent. Among her problematic actions was her appearance along with “Mr. Grinnell” at the Hobbs home on the evening of May 6, after the bodies were found, according to a June 9 statement from Pam Hobbs, who had recognized Gail at the preliminary hearing. Terry Hobbs also identified her as a visitor that evening. There was no explanation as to why the Grinnells would have been at the Hobbs home, as they were not friends with the family, or why “Mr. Grinnell” would have accompanied her, as she had just broken up with Dent (who had not yet moved out) and was separated from her husband. Intended as a sympathetic account of Jason's life, Mara Leveritt's “Dark Spell” inadvertently paints a fascinating portrait of the young killer as a savvy street-smart wheeler-dealer with an eye for the main chance. The book is rich in such ridiculous fictions as that Baldwin was an often-disappointed believer in old-fashioned truth, justice and virtue who, despite little evident interest in religion, had learned just what Jesus would do and then did that. Because his mama raised him right. Baldwin quickly adapted to the brutal Arkansas prison system, figured out how to work his way into the trust of prison officials and worked every angle to always put himself in the most positive light. He has portrayed his agreement to get out of prison as a selfless act, saying he agreed to the Alford plea because he feared Damien would die from unspecified causes while incarcerated. Baldwin's years in prison stand in stark contrast to Echols' story, which endlessly whined about how Damien was sick, lonely and scared. Baldwin quickly learned that he could show no weakness. He survived near-daily assaults for years until he established a solid reputation among inmates and guards as a tough little fighter and standup guy. Psychopaths often do relatively well in prison, an environment based on who can most effectively wield power. They often do well in other aggressive environments where they quickly size up opportunities. They charm and manipulate others when they can and ruthlessly crush those resistant to their act. As a convicted child killer facing uncommonly hostile guards and fellow prisoners, Baldwin never backed down, taking “power” as his byword; from the first to the last, he was a cool customer, far from the “Paradise Lost” image of a powerless child. Baldwin had a knack for duping others into believing he was trustworthy; he projected an air of innocence, easily fooling old ladies in the trailer park into thinking he was a nice boy. His air of assumed humility and guise of open-hearted sincerity pervade “Dark Spell.” But who is Jason Baldwin? Those who believe he was guilty see a child killer who claimed he was innocent when his sentence was being handed down. They see no shame, no regret, no doubt, no remorse. Even those who believe him innocent will acknowledge that he was Damien's best friend. What does that tell us about Baldwin? Contrary to cliches about “nice guy” killers, long- time criminologist Stanton Samenow in “The Myth of the Out of Character Crime” states that any crimes that a person commits are in keeping with his character. He notes that “what a person presents publicly often differs radically from what he is like privately.” Echols was grandiose to an extreme. Echols lied with abandon, seeming to spin untruths just because he could. Lying offered an illusion of control. Echols enjoyed playing cat and mouse with the police, though his arrogance and blatant falsehoods were key to his conviction. On the surface, Baldwin could not have been more different. From the first, he said little to authorities and what he said did not implicate him in any way. His whole defense was built around saying nothing, hoping he would be exonerated because of the paucity of evidence. Like Echols, Baldwin had an arrogant illusion of control but he had a better grasp of reality. Echols talked and talked, as did Misskelley, but Baldwin was tightlipped from the start, with one possible, crucial exception. Another detainee in juvenile lockup, Michael Carson, testified in gruesome detail about Baldwin's confession to him while they were in custody. The testimony offered a foundation for finding Baldwin guilty. The key to his guilt was his association with Echols. Read “Dark Spell” and then wonder how a straight-arrow regular fellow who professes adherence to Christian values and the American way could have been blood brothers with a blood-drinking boogeyman. Baldwin acknowledged that Echols and his mother were mentally ill; what he didn't explain was his easy camaraderie with a boy viewed by everyone as weird and sinister. Echols has the childish view that the only thing worth doing is the thing that is forbidden, and he flaunts his contempt for mainstream values. By feigning his embrace of those values, Baldwin has made his own lie, behind a perpetual smile. The two are mirror opposites, one as sick as the other. “… The normal are inclined to visualize the psychopath as he is in mind, which is about as far from the truth as one could well get … These monsters of real life usually looked and behaved in a more normal manner then their actually normal brothers and sisters, they presented a more convincing picture of virtue than virtue presented of itself — as the wax rosebud or the plastic peach seems more perfect to the eye, more what the mind thought a rosebud or a peach should be, than the imperfect original from which it had been modeled.” — William March, “The Bad Seed,” as quoted in “Without Conscience: The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us” by Robert D. Hare, PhD. Hare explained in his preface: “Psychopaths are social predators who charm, manipulate, and ruthlessly plow their way through life, leaving a broad trail of broken hearts, shattered expectations, and empty wallets. Completely lacking in conscience and in feelings for others, they selfishly take what they want and do as they please, violating social norms and expectations without the slightest sense of guilt or regret.” There you have the link between Echols and Baldwin: two of a kind. Echols had psychological problems, such as depression and anxiety, since early childhood. In addition he displayed many qualities of the classic sociopath, or psychopath, a label he embraced. According to Hare, “These often charming — but always deadly — individuals have a clinical name: psychopaths. Their hallmark is a stunning lack of conscience; their game is self-gratification at the other person's expense. … The most obvious expressions of the psychopath — but by no means the only ones —- involved flagrant criminal violation of society's rules. … These pieces of the puzzle form an image of a self-centered, callous, and remorseless person profoundly lacking in empathy and the ability to form warm emotional relationships with others, a person who functions without the restraints of conscience.” That describes Echols well enough. Jason has shown a similar though more lighthearted ability to disregard the consequences of his actions. Criminologist Stanton Samenow found that habitual lawbreakers feel that they are different from other people, that the usual rules do not apply to them and that they will continue in their evil ways unless highly motivated to change. Samenow has explained that many parents use the excuse that their suddenly delinquent child fell in with the wrong crowd. Not so. “Criminals seek out one another for their own purposes,” said Samenow in “Inside the Criminal Mind.” “In radar-like fashion, they hone in on others who have similar interests. They are not enticed into crime against their will. If a basically responsible youngster makes an unwise choice and misjudges another youth who he discovers is up to no good, he will eventually extricate himself from that situation and most likely from the entire relationship.” Contrast the actions of Murray J. Farris and Baldwin. Despite a common interest in witchcraft, Farris and his good friend Chris Littrell quickly and consistently kept Echols at arm's length; they were not drawn into crime. Similarly, Deanna Holcomb, despite deep romantic ties to Echols and their shared belief in “magick,” broke cleanly from him when the full implications of his plans to ritually sacrifice their possible child became clear. By contrast, Baldwin, with no apparent interest in witchcraft, was easily drawn into Damien's world, a world totally at odds with Baldwin's public statements. Also contrast Baldwin's seemingly guileless lack of remorse with the criminally inclined Misskelley, who expressed shock, shame and disgust over his involvement in the killings. Misskelley, though often cruel, hardened and callous, was capable of empathy, guilt and shame, unlike his partners in crime. Psychopaths are smooth liars who bend and break the truth in breathtaking fashion and continue to lie even when exposed. Drawing heavily upon the research of Hervey Cleckley in the classic psychiatric text “The Mask of Sanity,” first published in 1941, Hare notes: “Phrases such as ‘shrewdness and agility of mind,' ‘talks entertainingly,' and ‘exceptional charm' dot Cleckley's case histories” … as well as media presentations of Damien and Jason. Cleckley stated: “The (psychopath) is unfamiliar with the primary fact or data of what might be called personal values and is altogether incapable of understanding such matters.” Despite this lack, psychopaths are experts at weighing circumstances for maximum self-advantage and then saying or doing whatever is necessary to fit their purposes. They are masters of manipulation. With Baldwin, there is a pervading sense of “something's wrong here but I can't quite put my finger on it,” which is how Hare describes a characteristic impression of the psychopath. As described in “Dark Spell,” Baldwin's journey through some of the roughest prisons in the United States was that of a cold-blooded opportunist who seized upon the feelings of others, such as the jail workers who left illicit food for him or the series of prison officials who found him relatively cushy jobs. Baldwin quickly sussed out the “soft touches,” just part of his special knack. Hare said of psychopaths: “To some people … they seem too slick and smooth, too obviously insincere and superficial. Astute observers often get the impression that psychopaths are play-acting, mechanically ‘reading their lines.'” Mechanically reading their lines, such as in these quotes from Baldwin in “Dark Spell”: “I didn't think there was any possible way they could find us guilty when we didn't do it. Not in America. … People thought we did drugs because we looked wild, but we didn't. We didn't need them. … Jesus didn't judge peo- ple. He pretty much forgave everybody, unless they were misusing religion or being hurtful. It was all about the love. That's what Jesus uses. You've supposed to love people, to uplift people, to make people better. That's what I learned from Jesus's teaching. That's why he's the guy. He's the big radical. … I tried to forgive them because I knew that if they knew I was innocent— if they knew the truth —- they wouldn't be reacting to us that way. And knew that that was the purpose of this trial: to get to the truth of it. … I did my best to show them that I wasn't afraid, that no matter what, we must stick together as a family, to not lose hope and to have faith in God and what is right. … Our love would get us through this, and God would work out a miracle for us. … I can see where they might think I'm in a cult because I wear Metallica T-shirts and stuff like that, but I'm not into nothing like that. I couldn't kill an animal or a person.” Baldwin consistently delivers this sort of hypernormal spiel with the smile of the practiced prison scammer. Concerning Echols' highly incriminating answers to police questioning and incriminating testimony, Baldwin said: “They took what he said in innocence and twisted it on him, and they did it because he was Damien.” About a possible plea deal, he said, “I was not tempted. It was wrong. It was against everything I was brought up to believe in.” And in “Dark Spell,,” Baldwin described his first day in prison: “… My mantra is born: ‘I am tough.' I say that out loud. … The old man is looking at me again and smiling that dirty smile. I tell him he better get me some boxers that fit and do not play any games with me because I do not play … He says that I do not look like a killer to him. I tell him that is what I am in here for so he better not mess with me. I wasn't lying. … It works and he gets me some boxers that fit.” Thus did a 16-year-old kid establish his dominance over the first longtime inmate he encountered. As he said, “I never wanted to incur any disrespect or loss of respect.” Offered a romance novel, the connoisseur of horror movies and the heaviest of heavy metal offered a “by gosh” memory: “I can't read this stuff. A kid going through puberty? No. I didn't need to be reading that.” Early on, Baldwin refused a prescription of the antidepressant Zoloft from a Department of Corrections psychologist because “there wasn't anything wrong with me.” He already had decided that he would rather risk being placed in general population rather than the Diagnostic Unit or the Suicide Prevention Unit. He sup- posedly told prison officials, “I refused to be so doped up that I cannot even think about fighting for my freedom.” Baldwin claimed he did not allow himself to experience fear over the prospect of prison life. He told Leveritt: “I'd already experienced so much in my short little life —- so much bad — that I'd ceased to be afraid. And I'd ceased to be shocked.” One defining trait of psychopaths is the absence of fear. Explaining that he deferred going to school in prison, instead earning the respect of the guards and inmates on work details, he said, “As limited as my choices were, I wasn't going to make one that would reduce my chances around here.” After being beaten unconscious, he supposedly pulled a “Cool Hand Luke” and walked out of the infirmary with an untreated fractured skull and broken collarbone after regaining consciousness. After being robbed by a fellow inmate, Baldwin, again in “Dark Spell,” said, “So being the hothead that I was, I went into the dayroom and started kicking things over, like big stacks of plastic chairs. I yelled, ‘All right, you bitches, you're going to wake up!' I went over to the first rack and yelled ‘This is a shakedown!' Then I went to the second rack, and lo and behold, I saw a bunch of my stuff there. I said to the guy, ‘All right, you and I are going to the shower and we're going to fight.'” Thus stood revealed the hard man hidden in the waif with the ruddy cheeks. As for his relationship with Echols, it was reminiscent of two other devotees of the cult of the black raincoat, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris. The shooting spree of Klebold and Harris at Columbine High School in 1999 that left 13 dead and 20 injured was the culminating atrocity of a dynamic duo not unlike the unnatural bond of Baldwin and Echols. As the myth of the poor, persecuted trailer park “throwaway kids” persisted and grew in the West Memphis case, the Columbine killers have been portrayed as misunderstood, picked-upon teens who lashed out in frustration at their tormenters. In both cases, the killings were carefully planned by cold-blooded killers hoping to leave their mark upon the world. After the murder-suicides of Klebold and Harris, the often-ignored truth appeared in their writings — Eric Harris was a grandiose psychopath carrying out his fantasies of killing for pleasure while Dylan Klebold was a depressive with cripplingly low self-esteem who often fantasized about suicide. Harris was often described as intelligent, well-spoken and even “nice” — much like Baldwin. Harris was a cool customer able to slaughter acquaintances and classmates in a detached manner, taunting them as they begged for mercy. Similarly, Baldwin had no problem knifing, beating and drowning helpless children and then, a few hours later, dickering with a friend over music tapes. Meanwhile, Echols was exhibiting bizarre behavior and insane thought patterns. Back in 1992 and 1993 he was consistently diagnosed with various forms of depression, much like Klebold. Dave Cullen, in an excellent book on the Colorado case, “Columbine,” explained the Klebold-Harris pairing as a dyad, “murderous pairs who feed off each other,” citing such other similar pairs as Bonnie and Clyde, Leopold and Loeb and the Beltway snipers. Other well-known examples would be Fred and Rose West, the Hillside Stranglers, the Menendez brothers, Charles Starkweather and Caril Fugate, etc. Cullen writes: “Because dyads account for only a fraction of mass murderers, little research has been conducted on them. We know that the partnerships tend to be asymmetrical. An angry, erratic depressive and a sadistic psychopath make a combustible pair. The psychopath is in control, of course, but the hotheaded side- kick can sustain his excitement leading up to the big kill.” If there ever was “an angry erratic depressive,” Damien Echols would be one. Consider the likelihood that Echols was never “the ringleader,” a role he clearly relished, but merely “the hotheaded sidekick” who kept his cool-headed little buddy on track toward a long-planned, very special evening in Robin Hood Hills. As Deanna Holcomb explained, Damien was too much of a coward to do the killing himself. In the May 5 attack, Echols exhorted Misskelley and Baldwin to beat their captives but it was Baldwin who pulled out his knife and began carving up Little Stevie and Chris. According to the only first-hand witness who has talked, it was not clear that Echols did more than beat, truss, sexually molest and drown the boys. Baldwin viciously mutilated two of them. As John Fogleman described the utter lack of conscience at the heart of the case: “You see inside that person, and you look inside there, and there's not a soul in there." https://www.amazon.com/Blood-Black-Against-Memphis-Killers/dp/0692802843/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?keywords=gary+meece&qid=1557710855&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmrnull https://www.amazon.com/Case-Against-West-Memphis-Killers-ebook/dp/B07C7C4DCH/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_2?keywords=gary+meece&qid=1557710880&s=gateway&sr=8-2-fkmrnull https://www.amazon.com/Blood-Black-Against-Memphis-Killers-ebook/dp/B06XVT2976/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_3?keywords=gary+meece&qid=1557710880&s=gateway&sr=8-3-fkmrnull https://www.amazon.com/Where-Monsters-Go-Against-Memphis-ebook/dp/B06XVNXCJV/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_4?keywords=gary+meece&qid=1557710880&s=gateway&sr=8-4-fkmrnull https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0753HJZ1P/?ie=UTF8&keywords=gary%20meece&qid=1557710880&ref_=sr_1_fkmrnull_6&s=gateway&sr=8-6-fkmrnull https://eastofwestmemphis.wordpress.com https://www.facebook.com/WestMemphis3Killers/
On April 20, 1999, Sue Klebold’s son and his friend went into Columbine High School and committed one of the largest mass shootings in US history. Over the last 18 years, Klebold has been forced to cope with this horrible tragedy while managing anxiety attacks and being blamed by so many. Klebold talks about her story and the mental health massages she wants every American to know.
On this episode of The Sofa King Podcast, we talk about some true crime and look at the most influential mass shooting in American history, the tragedy at Columbine. On April 20, 1999 Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold entered Columbine High School and shot and killed 13 people. Rumors spread in the media that it was caused by a great many things, but it turns out that much of the story we’re fed is pretty far from the truth. Harris and Klebold were pretty bad eggs long before the shooting. They were often on the wrong side of the law, breaking into vans and posting death threats on their AOL web page. The threats were investigated, but the paperwork was never filed, so no judge ever issued a search warrant for their home. If they had, the police would have been shocked. They’d have found plans for several types of bombs, 99 explosive devices, and a small arsenal of guns (most of which were obtained illegally). However, this was pre 9-11, and, well pre-Columbine, so nobody took it too seriously. However, on the morning of the attack, the two tried to execute a yearlong plan. The plan wasn’t just to shoot up the school. It was to set a series of explosions that would lure away the first responders, kill hundreds of students, and force the survivors to flee through exits that would then be fired upon, killing almost everyone in the school. Once this was done, car bombs were to detonate, killing cops, fire fighters, and reporters. But, the bombs mostly failed, so it ended up being a shooting frenzy instead. The details of their shooting spree are horribly detailed, and we cover a lot of them in our talk on Columbine. Who did they kill? Who did they let live? What did the FBI profilers think was the cause of the rampage? How did the two shooters die? Where did they get the guns? Is this a false flag event? Were they in the Trenchcoat Mafia? Listen, laugh, learn.

Most people think of the attack on Columbine High School in 1999 as a school shooting. Sue Klebold thinks of it as her son Dylan's murder-suicide. She's written a new book and says she hopes the insight it provides outweighs the risk of re-traumatizing victims' families. Klebold answers a question she's faced for years: How could her son have planned the attack without her knowing? And she says she'll never know if she could have prevented her son's actions, but she does wish she could've done some things differently.
