The Oklahoma City bombing appeared to be their source of inspiration with them journaling that they wanted to do something that not only rivaled but outlived this horrific incident as they planned their gory presentation for its anniversary (Haider-Market & Joslyn, 2001). Klebold even took the time to boast on video about exacting "the most deaths in U.S. history" (Larkin, 2007).

Excerpts from his website go on and on with repeats from his journal about his disgust for those that were around him (Larkin,
