November 8 2013 Columbine

The Columbine incident was a tragedy, and was definitely not anticipated. The boys who committed this crime were just teenagers. The school served as means to a grander end, to terrorize the entire nation by attacking a symbol of American life. Their slaughter was aimed at students and teachers, but it was not motivated by resentment of them in particular. Klebold is easier to comprehend, he was hotheaded, but depressive and suicidal. He blamed himself for his problems. I think that this happened because Dylan Klebold had been very depressed, felt isolated, and had a hard time making friends. I think that this is why he was so easily influenced by Eric Harris. I think that if the two of them hadn't continued their friendship, this tragedy could have been prevented.
