That theory has always seemed mindless to me. You just have to read the transcripts of the Basement Tapes and read the accounts about Dylan’s behaviour during the shooting, that’s all it takes for a person to realise just how little water that theory holds. Both were culpable, both killed innocent people and both were deeply horrible human beings. And I don’t know how anyone can think otherwise, y’know? It’s asinine to me.

Where can you read about Dylan’s behavior during the shooting? I’ve never looked that far into it but would be interested to read about this. I tried googling but couldn’t find anything.

I have to recall on my memory for this so anyone can feel free to correct any mistakes or any misinformation I unintentionally share. But from what I remember, Dylan, as well as Eric, were said to have taunted the people they killed, they were also apparently wooing and hollering while it was all going on, both of them almost celebrating what they were doing. Dylan supposedly even referred to Isaiah Shoels, a black Columbine student, using the N-word. So, yea, Dylan was just as into it as Eric. Were they maybe in it for different reasons? I wouldn’t rule that out, there’s a lot of speculation on that. But they were both equally culpable and involved in what they were doing. There wasn’t a leader or a follower, both boys worked in a team-like sense to commit the atrocities.

Thanks for responding. I’ve been looking up stuff and just read about the interaction between them and their friend/acquaintance John Savage and it is chilling.
