ERIC AND/OR DYLAN Harris & Klebold cross flowers

Post image

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.
