For example, it has been reported that Rachel wouldn't have been able to have the conversation with Eric about her belief. If there'd been footage outside showing this event, do you think her parents would have released I'm Not Ashamed still but under a different angle? Would they still claim her to be a martyr for her faith?
Also do you think that the paramedics should have moved her body after realising she was dead? We can see from the helicopter footage that Danny was moved due to the positioning of the blood stain next to his body. Danny was in the way as it looked like he fell in an entrance/exit from the car park, but they didn't move him off the pavement out the way of fleeing students. They moved Rachel but they put her in the way of the students running for their lives. In my opinion she should have been left where she died as she was not in anyone's way and hidden so people wouldn't have to see her. Yes, I know there was the door next to her but do we know that anyone left via that door during or after the shooting?
I'd love to hear people's opinions on this and any other ideas you have about the shootings outside.
I honestly think the movement of Rachel's body would have still happened because there were helicopters already capturing those things. I think in the heat of the moment with all the chaos it just would have still happened.
As far as the movie about Rachel, right now her parents are basing it on the ambiguity of the event. We have no evidence to 100% prove that Rachel did not evangelize to Eric before he shot her (at least that they would believe) so if there was actual proof to the contrary the movie would not have been able to be made the way it was.
Although I can see them spinning it that she spoke to him before the shooting ever took place. I could see that happening.
