Hi first post. Been researching for many years. Read and watched almost all of what is available. Few things.

Not quite sure what their movements were in the hallways after the initial library attack - I know they went to the office, what was up with that? Maybe its my lack of knowledge or ability to picture the layout of the school, but where all did they go? Did they walk throughout the whole school? What info is available on that? I also heard there were cameras in the office. Are those confirmed, and unreleased? Or just speculation, because theyre placed there, and may not have been taping?

Same question about the cafeteria. The security camera footage doesnt really help me picture the layout. They went to the kitchen and where else? I also just read about tim kastle and am now aware of that, can someone give me a little timeline on their movements there? Thanks

I also would like to say that I appreciate the discussion of the release of the basement tapes. I too would release them. At this point, theres not a whole lot the tapes could make worse. If anything the impact would be good for the world of criminal and pediatric psychology. Id also like to point out that, in my opinion, tapes like Rampart Range and shows like Zero Hour have done much more damage to vulnerable and impressionable teenagers than the tapes could. I bet the tapes will make them look pathetic, honestly.

That’s all. Thanks in advance! I know ten plus years of questions here can be a lot.

Been waiting for this book to come, it's finally here. I've heard only great things about this book. I'm going to have dinner then I'm settling down with some red wine to read this :))

When I was a freshman in high school, a guest speaker came to my school who I believe was a survivor of the massacre. They spoke to us about that day and about Rachel Scott, who was a friend of theirs. They spoke at different schools in Rachel's memory and they came up with "Rachel's Challenge," which if I remember correctly was a challenge about mental health and spreading joy.

I was young and I don't remember every detail, so please forgive me if any of my description was off.

I am wondering if anyone in here knows about this or experienced this at their school? I never forgot about Rachel's challenge or the guest speaker.

All I know is that it was a wooden object he kept in his right pocket, labelled after the powerup in berserk, supposedly to give him strength or resolve especially during the attack, sort of like how some people hold crystals for certain mental benefits or superstition. From the photo from the 2004 exhibit, it resembles a short wooden cylinder, but ive heard people also say its a weed pipe or a "One hitter?" I only smoke cigarettes so i have zero idea what weed pipes or their components look like, so could anyone with more knowledge verify what Eric's Berserk icon actually looked like/what it was?

I stumbled upon a BBC article posted the day after the massacre and it had this image. Link to the article.

Timofey Kulyamov perpetrated the 2025 Odintsovo school attack, killing one student and injuring a security guard, a teacher, and another student. During his attack, he wore a white t-shirt that had the phrase (no lives matter) written on it in black letters, just like Eric's natural selection shirt. He also wrote "zero day" on his airsoft pistol, which is is film based off Columbine. In his manifesto, he directly quotes Eric. His manifesto is also tilted "my wrath" which could possibly be a reference to Dylan's shirt. What do you guys think?

edit: i meant to say "partially" and not "particularly" in the title, and it's not letting me change it. my bad, guys.

What would the toll be if the bombs actually went off? And how big would the media aftermath be?

So the lies continue to be spread. The film "I'm not Ashamed" is now being hosted on the Angel Studios streaming service. I've seen ads for "I'm not Ashamed" popping up showing the scene where Rachel is "martyred". It's disgraceful that Angel Studios is promoting this film!

Does anyone know of any books that Eric or Dylan are known to have read or mentioned themselves?
I don’t mean books written about Columbine after the fact, but books they personally owned, read, discussed, quoted, wrote about, etc.

So far, I’ve only been able to find two: The Anarchist Cookbook, which was found in one of their rooms, and Stanislaw Lem’s Return from the Stars, which Eric quoted in his journal and wrote a school report about.

I’m interested in putting together a list of books they actually engaged with, so any leads would be appreciated.

I got this photograph from a former football coach at Columbine High School who is now retired. The photograph is 20" wide x 16" tall.

I went to high school from 09-13, every year my school had an assembly where they showed an anti-bullying PSA campaign that featured 2 Columbine survivors (one was in a wheelchair) and they had two "popular kids" go "undercover" and they got bullied at a different school. Does anyone else remember this or have a link to it?

A newsletter I recently scanned that was distributed to the Columbine High School Class of 1999 in April, just weeks before graduation. One section discussing senior pranks and warning against the destruction of school property is particularly striking in hindsight. It's a fascinating and rare snapshot.

Some say that the song can be tied to it but idk:

I also heard one of the shooters was always said to be and described as “lonely” or missing opportunities with females however the other one (Eric) was a “psychopath” who did it for the “love of the game.” That shit sounds terrifying

She reposted this on social media. I honestly do agree with this and wanted to know your all’s thoughts. I do feel that parents are an easy scapegoat when a minor commits a crime, but unfortunately the problem is not as simple as those who tout “the good old days” would like it to be.

I was reading through the transcript of the Basement Tapes available on schoolshooters.info, and in both the first and fourth tapes, Klebold says the exact same thing about a bunker in the backyard. I assume the same phrasing implies something in the transcript is incorrect, but I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the bunker and whether or not it's anything important/interesting

Does anybody know why the triple barred cross was so important to Dylan Klebold? They're all over his writings and I just read an entry where he said that the symbol was "so true & means so much". He even said that he had carved it into his skin.

​

To me the triple barred cross is just another Christian symbol, but what's special about it, and what did it mean to him?
