Columbine Survivor Reddit Interview

Thanks for posting these (this one and the other you posted today)

Although I try to imagine what it would be like to do something like E/D did, I also think a lot about what it would have been like to be on the other side.

Some really interesting tidbits in that AMA, thanks!  

Welcome. I always found the story of Eric being shirtless for the class project quite interesting considering his sunken chest and how skinny he was and somewhat self conscious. It was also interesting that she never went to Cassie's funeral despite being close friends and visiting her family after the shootings.

The OP is very interesting.

He contradicts himself on more than one occasion during his Reddit AMA, especially when compared to his book.

He writes this above (which he deletes, I'm assuming when someone calls him out on it) but in his book No Easy Answers, in the chapter entitled 'Rachel', he claims he didn't go to Dylan's funeral, only his parents did.

Brooks has about the same credibility as Cullen for mine.

I didn´t think this was Brooks. Brooks used the nick Or1g1nal1ty. Why should he use another name? I remember that he wrote that he did not go to Dylans funeral. I don´t understand why he didn´t go to his funeral. Ok, i know he liked Rachel but he knew Dylan since childhood. I knew what Dylan did was horrible but before he did this he was his friend. Maybe he regretted it.

He did post on Reddit as Or1g1nal1ty!

He has had his account verified by a moderator on the site (he posted a pic of himself holding a bit of paper saying 'Reddit AMA' or something).

I thought he deleted his nickname. I don´t know.

Thank you so much for the link!
Maybe i'm overlooking it, but what is this person's name?

Brooks Brown?

Someone should've asked him about Dylan's love. (You know, the girl he wrote that note for.)

Interesting question, but I don´t think he would answer it.

I agree, it would be interesting if he answered just to quell curiosity about the "famous love poem." But I also think he wouldn't answer, even if he knew who it was he still wouldn't say.

I think if he knew it, he will protect her. Many people did not like Brooks and told he was a liar (for example Nathan and Devon). I don´t know.

We will never know for sure. Many people believe it was Marla Foust.

I don't think Brooks even remotely knew who Dylan had an obsession over.  I think Zack would be more likely to know.  Secondarily, Brooks dodges giving a straight answer regarding D & E, especially if it's a specific question.  He has become more tight lipped over Columbine anymore.  Generally, he likes to just say "it's sad" and wants to move on to talk about his career.

I think it's highly likely that nobody did.

Yes, I entirely concur with this statement.

He is still active there. But I wouldn´t annoy him with my questions. Maybe he would think I am a stupid, crazy fangirl or something like that. And maybe he is done with Columbine after all these years.

Yeah I think he is active in quite a few places here and there online where he has at some point mentioned Columbine. But i agree, it's best to leave him alone, i'm sure he gets asked pretty consistently about Columbine by people who know where to find him.

Here is another link that the Reddit user mentioned in the OP included in their Q and A. There's some very questionable stories and claims about Columbine in there.
