Vice News Video: The Allure of Columbine Fandom

Hello friends!

You may find this video interesting. It talks about how Columbine infiltrated certain aspects of pop culture, the allure behind Eric and Dylan and how they inspired other shooters.
It has a focus on the best friend of Sol Pias, the girl obsessed with Columbine who bought a shotgun and had plans to mimic a Columbine like shooting in Denver.

"Harris and Kledbold wrote the script for the modern era of school shootings"
Do you agree or disagree?

Thanks but, video is unavailable :/

Interesting video, thanks for sharing.

Without a doubt.

She was such a beautiful girl. Why she felt the need to do this is sad. They may have got their infamy, but nearly 21 years later, they continue to hurt...dare I even say "kill"?

Sadly can't watch the video, it says it's unavailable

Its more objective imo.

I do think that they identify with a misguided image of Eric and Dylan, due to their own personal problems. But its an interesting perspective, nevertheless

Apparently, Breivik had a similar connection.

Its appalling, but, thank goodness they are hopefully more effective in preventive meassures by now. Atleast as far as terrorism has dropped over the years and apparently so has school shootings.

Which is more of a problem in the US, yet, terrorism seems to be mostly affecting countries that are conflict ridden. Mainly in Africa and Asia.

Would have loved to watch it but the video is unavailable.
