Most folks who've studied Columbine have heard the name "Rocky Wayne Hoffschneider Jr." If you haven't, then the first thing you should know is that he was the assholiest jock asshole at the school, by far. His buddies weren't any nicer.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Rocky, who graduated in '98, was at the top of one of Eric's shit lists. If you don't know anything about him, read this and then come back to this thread:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Not too long ago, I talked (online) with someone who went to Columbine during the 1997-98 school year, but moved to a different state after that. She saw Dylan around the school, but never spoke to him. She never saw Eric.
She told me that Rocky was every bit as nasty as has been reported.
He and his friends messed with everyone, but most often they went after boys who were walking with or talking to girls - even "ugly" girls who would never be allowed to hang with the jocks. He was all about intimidation and humiliation.
This guy was one of Rocky's right-hand men:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]One time, she was walking up the stairs from the commons when suddenly she found herself being shoved to the floor. Rocky and his buds were right behind her.
There was a boy in front of her walking with a girl. Rocky shoved him - hard - to the ground. He pushed him *up* the stairs.
He said to the boy: "Wow, your boyfriend must have fucked you pretty hard last night. Your ass is so sore that you can't even walk up the fucking stairs."
He turned to the girl and said: "
Your boyfriend is a pussy-ass faggot. Get a new one."
Then he went on his merry way.
She said that the school rumor mill pegged Rocky's gang - known to many as the "steroid poster boys" - as heavy drug users and rapists.
She also told me that, after the massacre, her friends told her that three names were being talked about as "third shooters":
* Joe Stair
* Chris Morris
* Brooks Brown
