This is a simple post to direct you to a spectacular article on Columbine, 10 years after the fact. This is yet another example of how the general public reacts after any shocking incident, displaying an amazing gullibility to any story or so called account in the immediate aftermath, then allowing attention to waver by the time the real facts are determined. As catastrophic as this massacre was, there is a certain relief in now knowing what we do, that this was the result, not of some bullying, racism, or social inequality, but severely disturbed individuals.

I was just thinking about this the other day. I remember reading an article in the book _Everything you know is wrong_. This journalist went through all of the police reports. There are many reports of a third shooter--- the guy who was charged with selling/giving the guns to them.
A few others reported hearing shots in the field near the school, seeing a group of people with guns speaking German and another speaking Japanese.
It makes me wonder.
Thank you for the comment. I find it interesting how often the truth (as much as can be established) always takes a considerable amount of time to come out, is vastly different that common thought, and goes virtually unnoticed. We, as a nation, seem to actually prefer the more provocative, however inaccurate, version.
