Do you think that a majority of the school shootings since columbine were inspired by columbine? School shootings have seemed to increase excessively over the years. The Virginia Tech shooter had an obsession with columbine, correct? Along with the Sandy Hook school shooter. I often wonder if columbine never happened if school shootings would be as common as they now are.

This is my first post. I am Adam from New York. I stumbled across this forum while looking up articles about Virginia Tech. I know it is a columbine forum but I would imagine other school shootings are often discussed too? Nice to meet everyone.

Hi Adam, welcome to the board.

Actually, I share that thought with you because after Columbine, the school shootings increased a lot and you can read about recent mass shooters inspired on Columbine or about kids planning massacres very similar to Columbine. I think that Columbine marked a generation and influenced another, maybe another similar case would started the same or not but the impact of Columbine and the popularity of the case, definitely made that many guys could feel attracted to the case because they feel identify with Eric and Dylan and share many of their thoughts or experiences and not only them, many other people too. However, we dont know exactly, if another school shooting would cause the same like Columbine but I believe that Columbine really started something and if Columbine wouldnt happened at all, then another similar case would have to be like Columbine, have that same impac to caused the same and that case would happen sooner or later because there were other shootings before Columbine and that idea already existed.

I guess E&D are considered the 'profile' of a school shooter and people try living up to that (or dying up to that. I don't even know anymore.)

The Sandy Hook shooter used to post on the old Columbine forum. There are a few threads about Adam Lanza in the "other shootings" section.

Thank you. I will most certainly have a look in that section.
