It's one of the more interesting things about Columbine, is that it elicits such strong emotions even so many years later. No reason to apologize for being passionate about something.
I would never consider Patti a hero, but I do feel that she is a sympathetic character. It's nearly impossible to tell how any of us would have reacted in a situation such as dire as that. As you suggest, and I agree, Dave Sanders is a hero and a totally different figure entirely. I always feel badly when I think about him and how the feet-dragging SWAT team and the police essentially allowed him to slowly die.
