It's pretty common to see columbine copycats, but I hardly even hear about shooters who perhaps think columbine - or Eric and Dylan themselves as 'overrated' perhaps, or just overall not liking them.
The closest I can think of who demonstrates this is Adam Lanza, while the media portrays him as had using Columbine as inspiration, in his tumblr posts he seems to make fun of them more than anything, he seemed more interested in other shooters. (at least that's how I saw it). Additionally, there is also Vester Lee Flanagan, who while also seemed to acknowledge Eric and Dylan, seemed to admire Seung Hui Cho more. He wrote in his manifesto, "Also, I was influenced by Seung-Hui Cho. That's my boy right there. He got NEARLY double the amount that Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold got... just sayin".
I will lastly mention John Ladue, who though he admitted to have 'idolized' Eric, in his interrogation he contradicts himself, he acknowledges that the propane tanks were a bad idea and when talking about explosives he said along the lines, "I'm not some moron who's just throwing things together and hoping it'll work". (which at least in my opinion is basically what Eric and Dylan were doing, their 'bombs' were more glamorized fireworks if anything).
I was just wondering if there were any other shooters like that, and this seemed like a good place to ask that question.

He did ?
I was sure he was inspired by them.
That explains why he almost never mentions them.

I think i remember hearing about about them in his internet search history.
If i remember correctly he researched something along the lines of (Columbine diaries)
I might be wrong tho.

Adam Lanza constantly mocked them in his posts, but it could have just been some jokes.

Thanks for yet another good contribution to the forum, Razor. Unfortunately, the only thing you did was reword the point OP already made
