Do we really know anything about Wayne and Kathy? Did they love Eric? At least Sue Klebold said in her interview that she still loved Dylan.

I don't blame them for keeping quiet myself. Most in the media and people at home had put some of the blame on the parents without knowing anything about the case.
I think Sue left it a bit too late for speaking out about Dylan as well.

Of course the do, nothing can take away parental love, no matter how horrible the act.

Why would Wayne bring his son to Colorado when he liked his school in Michigan? It seems to me that made him seem like an uncaring father.

Eric was young at the time. How was Wayne to know that the move would affect his son in such a way? Parents make decisions they think will have a positive impact on their kids. Colorado is a great state. Generally speaking the schools, medical care, scenery, wildlife etc are all great. I think both the Harris parents thought that the move would be a good one for their kids. They were thinking of them. Eric in the past had adjusted seemingly just fine. He was in NY and MI both in school. And he transitioned ok. Again hindsight is 2020. I think if the Harrises could rewind time and go back to when he was alive they would make changes. But of course that is impossible.

People that work for the military move around a lot and it sucks because it's unfair for the kids. Maybe people should wait until they're out of service to have kids?

As for the move to Colorado, it is my understanding that Wayne and Cathy were both raised there. After Wayne retired frim the Airforce, they were returning home, to their roots, to their families.

And considering that the pipe bombs were made in the Harris' garage, and most of the weapons were hidden in that house, they don't have an easy out like Sue Klebold might have.
Also, Wayne Harris kept a journal about Eric, so that's something you can know about the situation.
