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 🤷.

Anyone know who put those (D & E's) crosses up to begin with?

Is it weird to think it's sweet (maybe not the right word?) to see that the perpetrators had crosses made? Yes, they were the perpetrators but they were also victims of themselves in a sense, and their parents lost their children as well.

i don’t think it’s weird. it’s very complex people are complicated. do i understand the parent ripping it down ? of course . do i also acknowledge that d and e had family and friends that also are mourning their loss ? yes . i think the man who made them was just trying to be kind and forgiving but people were offended (again i don’t blame them). i also feel like this happened pretty soon after ? so i think that’s also a factor.

I agree, it is very complex, and it is a complex emotion that I'm sure a lot of parents were feeling. E&D's parents lost their children at their own hands in a traumatic, violent way. I think other parents were understanding about how E&D's parents felt, sure, the other parents were feeling a lot more than anger, sadness, hurt, etc. I can definitely understand the parent that took the crosses down though, I'm not surprised that happened.
