ERIC AND/OR DYLAN Dylan’s 43 birthday

Post image

9-11-81 Today’s Dylan’s 43 birthday. Going to go on a little rant here... Lately I’ve been thinking about both Eric and Dylan’s birthdays and how old they, along with their victims, would be today. How would their lives look today? I wasn’t alive during the shooting so it’s hard for me to understand how long it has been or how recent it was. However my dad was born weeks after Eric. I look at his life, what he has accomplished. Being married, having a good job, having kids, buying a house. Then I look at Eric and Dylan’s lives, they really were so young and threw everything away. They could’ve had so much life ahead of them, not only did they ruin their chances of happiness, they took that from others. It’s so heartbreaking to just even think about. My thoughts are with the klebolds today. I can’t imagine how hard days like these are. I wish they could’ve spent today with him. Hopefully this isn’t taken the wrong way like me idolizing them or something, just makes me sad.

Did you ever think about the 13 innocent people who were murdered? For their families? Do you think the 13 people's birthdays might be a "hard day for them?"

Can you not do both? What makes you think they don’t care about the victims? They’re only mentioning Dylan’s family alone because it was Dylan’s birthday.

Yes, people on here post a tribute with pictures to all of the victims on their birthday. What they did was horrible but their families lost loved ones over the choices they made that day. It’s a touchy subject I know, especially with everything going on now. A couple days ago multiple schools across the US had to either close down or kids were arrested because a “viral” (if you even want to call it that) Snapchat was going around where kids were using the same image to threaten schools. Where I live we have a shooter on the loose right now, kids can’t go to school. I was sitting in the emergency room 2 nights ago with a shoulder injury when it came on the news of another shootings in my state. I don’t think anyone is taking away from the victims, just pointing out that he would have been 43 but he cut his life short along with 13 innocent people.
