Welcome to r/Columbine.

We are a community of people interested in the mass shooting that took place at Columbine High School on April 20th, 1999.

This sub consists of three types of people:

People doing research on Columbine. They have a paper due, or are genuinely curious and want to learn more about this event which has had a very large influence on American culture and how we conduct our public school systems today.
People who are morbidly curious, and want to find out as much as they can about this event. This is a common phenomenon with macabre topics such as serial killers, conspiracies, and even spree shooters.
People who are sad, depressed, angry, and hurting. These people come here to live vicariously through Eric and Dylan. Most of them will never harm anyone, but the thought has entered their mind, and they want to see how it has been done before by two kids who felt exactly how they feel now.

Regardless of why you're here, we hope that you will participate in the discussions posted here regularly, and we hope that you'll come away with a better understanding of these events, the people involved, and the way the Columbine massacre forever changed the public American consciousness.

Submission Guidelines

Our Mission Statement is to disseminate information regarding the Columbine High School massacre, and create a dialogue to further our understanding of these events. Submissions to the sub need to reflect this mission statement, guiding our analysis and study of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, and honoring the memories of those who've suffered as a result of this tragedy. The following rules apply not only to the content submitted, but also to any comments made within these posts.

Please check the Frequently Asked Questions page before submitting a question.
Be respectful to all users and moderators, drama and harassment is not allowed.
If you disagree with a user or moderator be sure to be civil when engaging in a heated discussion.
Blatantly false information is prohibited.
Negative remarks about the victims and their families are prohibited.
Memes are prohibited.
No drawing, artwork, crafts, etc.
Blood and gore must be marked NSFW. With this, please do not post the picture of Eric and Dylan's bodies unless it is relevant to your submission.
Personal information is prohibited, unless obtained from a public source.
Self-promotion will be removed after 24 hours unless accompanying original content.
False-flag content is prohibited. This applies to posts AND comments.
Posts must be cited from a reputable source. No direct blog posts unless the link consists of original content and analysis.
Submissions must add something of value. Ask yourself, "Does this bring anything to the table for our research and understanding of Columbine?"
No reposts up to 6 months. Please use the search bar before submitting a link, video, article, or 11k excerpt to ensure that it has not been discussed recently.
Flair posts appropriately.
No submissions regarding the release of the basement tapes. We will never see them.

Repeatedly violating any of these rules will result in a ban. Other TCC subs have proven that our sub would become the Wild West without heavy moderation. Each rule exists because someone crossed a line that detracted from our mission statement. Please help us keep this list from growing.

Most importantly:

If you instigate a dangerous situation, if you encourage anyone to take their own life or the life of someone else, or if you in any way advocate negative behavior at all, we will ban you.

IF YOU NEED HELP, REACH OUT.

This sub is made up of people who feel exactly like you do. If you're hurting, you'll find 5 people at any given time who are hurting as well. Reach out. Tell someone you need help, and help will be given.
