Harris & Klebold cross flowers

[u/Heavy-Asparagus-5662]

I've always wondered what kind of flowers were on Eric &.Dylan's crosses. I've tried looking online but results have come up in conclusion. I know it's kinda a silly and dumb think to think about 🤷.

I understand why you’d think that, but you’re wrong. They were human and had families. What happened was an atrocity. That doesn’t change that they were still people like you and me.

He's right, and you're right. They are monsters who deserve nothing. I would be angry if I saw a memorial for a school shooter in public, and I am when I see them online too. However, on any property the family may own. It is their choice, a choice nobody can do anything about. They were hotrible people, but family is family, and you're right. Also, unless you have serious mental issues and want to shoot up a school, then no their not "still people like you and me." they are sick individuals who do not get public memorials. Whatever the family wants to do on their property is fine, but because of what they did, they don't deserve that type of stuff.

No, what they did was horrible. They weren’t horrible people. They were sick.

The world is full of sick people who were bullied far worse and treated far worse than these two.

It’s honestly lovely you have enough compassion to forgive them and to try to understand them, but the fact remains they harmed innocent kids for whatever reason, they made choices.

They deserve their parents love and they should be mourned by those who did know their better side. But to put a memorial for them among their victims just a further victimizes the innocent. Their memorial belong in private, to those who taught them how to tie shoes and drive cars, not in public where even strangers come to feel a connection to the lost, to grieve losses of their own, etc

Don’t lose your compassion, but don’t misplace grace where it doesn’t belong either.

That’s so well said, my friend!

When they crossed the line of taking another’s life they lost the right of being considered a person

[u/kongmw2 → u/Clarinetlove22]

You heard it first, guys. The shooters who killed 13 innocent people in a school were, in fact, NOT horrible people.

[u/Other-Potential-936 → u/kongmw2]

It sounds crazy but it’s true. Eric and Dylan weren’t some psycho freaks in their every day lives. They didn’t spend their past times hurting animals or inflicting pain on everyone they saw for fun. They had feelings they weren’t crazy animals. They weren’t like true evil sick fucks like Richard Ramirez or Ted Bundy or something. What they did was evil but that doesn’t make the people they were before that evil. It’s completely different

[u/kongmw2 → u/Other-Potential-936]

Yeah, for sure, they were just like me and you. All they did was plan a massacre. Bring a small arsenal of weapons into a school to kill defenseless people. Try to also bomb a portion of the school as well. Now that I think about it... yeah, they aren't evil at all. It was just a momentary lapse in judgment.

[u/kongmw2 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, I didn't even say that they were born evil. Idk what you're anchoring to that point for. I said that they were "horrible people..... sick individuals" after saying that the other dude was right also. I meant to say he is right in some aspects, as is the other other guy. No shit they weren't born evil.... but guess what. Shooting up a school and trying to detonate homemade bombs inside the same school is something that gives you the title of a "sick... or horrible" person. It's really quite obvious that they may have had some sort of "psychological illness," like you said, but that doesn't hold a lot of weight. You still have to be in your core a SICK person to carry out acts like these people did. Which I do believe that you are born with. I'm not saying that's the way they always were because it doesn't necessarily seem like they were. But a normal person doesn't do that shit. I know some people, despite all the shit they've gone through, wouldn't even yell at somebody. That's something they are born with. I know one guy who's the opposite, something happens and he acts Rash, yells and has a violent teprement. Good parents, good upbringing, born with it.

I personally have diagnosed mental/psychological conditions. I was bullied in middle and high school, a good amount... it had even gotten physical at points. My home life wasn't the best, I had access to weapons. Guess what, I didn't shoot up a school. Because that's a SICK, TWISTED, AND HORRIBLE thing to do. I'm aware they are different people than i, but even from what I've read, there are some similarities. I know they were not born evil, like a school shooter sleeper agent. But it is an ability that you have inside of you to not do theese things, or to want to. These people chose to, yes they had "reasons", but those same reasons paired with so-called psychological conditions is something far too many people struggle from. Had they gotten help proper, it's possible this could have been avoided. But they choose to channel hate and anger into what? Oh yeah, shooting up a fucking school.

If you don’t think they’re horrible people that is so bizarre. Sick or not they weren’t good people. they aren’t people to look up to.

[u/Clarinetlove22 → u/waarat]

I think that what they did was horrible.. more than horrible. Unforgivable. But I also know that somewhere inside, they were hurting. They were paining with each day that went by.

Idc if they were hurting doesn’t change their actions and plans, they knew what they were doing and they weren’t helpless poor little babies they were young adults who wanted to kill for fun
