The Larry Scott Petty thing. I remember it was a guy who whas an older student and was armed with a knife and a rifle in the moment of the shotting and was detained. He told the investigator he was there for help, or shometing like that I don't remember well. I'm not saying that guy was implicated but a strange case.

I remember that those were a group of kids who were arrested when columbine happened, so I think it could be related. That case also seemed curious to me. however I saw many places where Larry was mentioned as a sole suspect and little information about him. I could not say if it is a conspiracy theory or something that is not known too much.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] For me the lead FBI investigator "Dwayne Fuslier", son Scott who attended Columbine High School that was in the "TCM" which helped make a video class production depicting a secret agent battling a mad scientist that blow up the school.

All of the conspiracy theories surrounding Columbine, especially the Trey Parker Matt Stone one.

I don't quite buy into the conspiracy theories (you can find evidence for anything in 11,00 pages) but the witness's claims of multiple shooters, even giving detailed descriptions that look nothing like E&D, are interesting at the very least.
Probably the weirdest, though, isn't the shooting at all, it's the aftermath. The Columbine Effect is so bizarre to me: there have been many, far deadlier shootings before and since, there have been shootings with comparable amounts of evidence released, there have been dozens of shootings with fully released manifestos that are blatant calls to action, and yet everyone focuses on Columbine, even in damn Russia. It's genuinely strange. If I had to guess, it's probably because:
Wall of text:
The massive media coverage - if I recall correctly, it was the third biggest story of the 90s. It was at the peak of the 90s culture war, and everyone wanted to point fingers, blaming whatever they didn't like or fit their politics (bullying, mental illness, drugs, medication, teenage culture, the Trench Coat Mafia, Marilyn Manson, DOOM, homosexuality, the parents, and on and on.) It was a blank slate to use as military-grade talking points for whatever you want. Kids idolize teenagers, teenagers relate to teenagers, adults romanticize their teenage years. An equivalent incident with child gunmen (i.e. Westside) or adults doesn't have the same universal "relatability." The two of them and the media they left behind make for a fantastic story, if the endless movies, books, and internet media related to the incident means anything.
Also, one of the weirder facts in Dylan's foot fetish. I didn't need to know that. Nobody needed to know that.

I don't know about "weirdest", but there's a lot I could say. That 4/20 was Free Cookie Day in the cafeteria. That there was a bomb - probably a trip bomb - left by the west entrance, and for that reason they brought the fire truck, and evacuated students out the teacher's lounge.
Probably my most serendipitous discovery was what I think is the source for the car bombs, explained here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
And with that, several video game references become apparent. Like Eric hitting his nose to look like Doomguy. That's not that weird to me, but it makes a lot of people freak out to question that it was an accident, or see that their anti hero was larping.
