Subject: Can anyone distinguish this to be true or false? Sun Sep 22, 2013 3:01 pm
A few weeks ago I was scrolling thru one topic here on the forum, and I remembered someone mentioning that Eric cut the wires of the telephones in the commons to prevent Dylan from calling someone for help. Is this true, or some archetypal Tumblr bullshit? I think this would be pretty impossible since Eric only had like 5 minutes to lay down the duffel bags and walk out before the bomb would supposedly explode. Apologies for my laziness!

Hmmm I think something like this would have been somewhere in the 11k...

Why should Dylan call someone for help?
Ok people, maybe he was a lovely person (I want to believe it) but he wanted to kill and (the most important) to die.

Sounds like fan induced bullshit to me.

Oh gods, imagine that phonecall though..
I don't buy it. They were in this together and both of them wanted to do what they did. (Plus, you know, the timeline renders it pretty much impossible..)

Even if the phone wires were cut, how would anyone know it was Eric who did it? There are no documents of anyone saying they saw him cutting the wires and conveniently the security cameras weren't filming when Eric was in there. This sounds like something someone made up and it is the first time I've ever even heard of this.

Whoever made up this story is saying that Eric cut the phone wires in the Cafeteria, not in the Library. And another thing, if Eric was so sure that his bombs were going to blow up the Cafeteria and level the school, why would there even be any need to cut phone wires? Wouldn't the blast destroy the phones anyways?

Ah, thanks everyone. Yeah, I should seriously consider leaving Tumblr for good. Too bad I'm so goddamn gullible.

Tumblr does have some good pictures though. I get a lot of the pictures for my FB Columbine page from Tumblr.

It's their suicide photograph with hearts around it, captioned "baby" or "my babies" that gets me. Why is that necessary!?

It's horrific. Seriously, they need more help than Eric and Dylan did, imo.

I didn't see that photo, although it sounds terrible. I did however see the photo where someone turned their suicide photo into a puzzle. That was pretty bad too.

I know, and then they write over and over and over how many "feeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllssssssss" that exact horrendous photo gives them, and how they "can't stop crying" because of it. Get real.
Yet, they perpetually post it. So obnoxious and indescribably disrespectful.

I said it. It was a joke I made a few weeks back on the forum in reference to Dave Cullen (as in it was something he would say). Just a joke everybody.

It's horrible and exceptionally distressing. I do not like seeing dead bodies, end of story. If that's what gets you off then fine, but that someones child, someones killer, someones boogie man in their nightmares. It's a disgusting thing to do and you're right it's awfully disrespectful.

This reminds me.. Someone said (I think it was Calence Emerson) that Dylan was seen by a phone booth in CHS. Reportedly..eh, supposedly, Dylan called the office and said "this is Eric Harris, there's a bomb in the building" prior to the attack. Wondering if there was any truth to this - and by that I mean, did someone really report this in their 11K account? If so, where is this mentioned? I haven't come across anything like this as of yet.

I hate to see the pictures of their corpses. Out of respect for their parents I will never post the pictures. You know, they were sons, brothers, friends...

It's weird seeing their dead bodies in the library. Well, it is for me. And yeah, em81, I find it incredibly insensitive and discourteous for ignorant prepubescents to upload pictures of it and proclaim their love for them. To be honest, D+E were two average looking kids that would've never turned their heads if they came face-to-face with 'em.

I don´t know how I feel if I would see pictures of my dead son.
We would not know anything about them if they aren´t the columbine killers. I don´t think you could love someone who you will never know. Yes, I feel connected to them, but that is not love. It´s interest and empathy. They were not heroes, only two kids who chose a wrong and horrible way.

I couldn't concur more. Actually, when I first started researching about Columbine ('round bout 2009) and I was still a sophomore in HS, I felt connected to them. I could relate to them. I was subjected to a lot of bullying and jeering in High School for being introverted, gothic, etc and I really thought "you know what, let me teach them". Fortunately I came to my senses and now have a life to live. It's a scary thing; infatuation. But seriously, there's no point in shooting up your school. If you want the attention, get it by doing something positive.

I got derailed in my 11K anaylsis and haven't even looked at it in months. But yeah, would love to know the source on this. Anybody?

I went to look at the SBB archive and the first topic I clicked on addressed this.
CalenceEmerson wrote:
.... There are many pieces of information that haven't been widely circulated, I'm sure. One I can think of was told to me by one of the officers on the Cafeteria team. He said that one of the receptionists still can't shake the phone call she received the morning of the incident. She said shortly before the attack, she got a phone call and the person on the other end said, "this is Eric Harris. There's a bomb in the building." I always found that interesting considering witnesses say they saw Dylan talking on the payphone right before the incident.
This bit may be in the documents. I've searched for it specifically and never found it; maybe someone else will have better luck.
So the bit about Dylan being on the phone may be in the 11K, but the part about the phone call is in no way confirmed.

Unless there is evidence to back this up then this is simply NOT TRUE.
