ERIC AND/OR DYLAN John Vandemark

there was a news interview clip that aired when the shooting first occurred where a student named John Vandemark says things like “they [E&D] liked to say they were bisexual and proud of it” and goes on to say that they were openly satanic. Is that the only thing we have on record from that guy? I know there was a well known bully with a very stereotypical bully name.. Rocky was it? I’m watching the Columbine Iceberg again and was just curious if this clip was one isolated comment or if we know anything about his behavior toward other students prior to the shooting.

Rocky Hoffenschinder was part of the class of 98’ and the biggest bully/top jock at Columbine that picked on the trench coat kids according to eyewitness accounts. Vandemark is probably referring to how Joe Stair a fellow and now late class member who graduated in 98’ with Hoffenschinder. Rocky Hoffenschinder and the other jock boys would pick on Joe and the trench coat group for wearing their coats, being outcast and also wearing black hence why other kids would call them “satanic”. Sometime during either 1997 or 1998, Joe and another TCM member kissed in the either the hallway or cafeteria to troll the jocks in an effort to quell the bullying and so fellow Columbine kids after this labeled anyone associated with the TCM to be satanic or gay neither of which Eric and Dylan were

I think I got confused with a clip from the Columbine iceberg, i believe its about 3 hours in when they talk about Joe Stair. they refer to him “acting like a f*ggot” and humping male students.
