When the final report marked the event was over, that thirteen victims had perished, twelve teenage students and one teacher, and the shooters had committed suicide, everyone expected life to continue forward. But what actually happened was the complete opposite. For weeks, even months after the event, the main topic of conversation was the Columbine School…
