Dawson Massacre

Klebold were unpopular students who were often targets of bullying, mainly by the Columbine athletes. Therefore this goes to show how resentment was clearly building up for Eric as he felt alienated. This is then reflected on the actually day of the massacre as when the pair entered the school library Klebold exclaimed, “Everybody with white hats stand up! This is for all the s---- you’ve given us…

Gun control is a highly engaged debated topic and always has been. Many people feel banning guns and creating gun free zones is the answer to stopping mass shooting and people being killed daily. Except they’re wrong. According to Freedom Outpost, 92 percent of mass shooting have occurred in gun free zones. Why? The answer is simple, bad guys know good people do not have guns to protect themselves. One argument that reoccurs is not the gun that kills, but the people who kill with a gun. "The…

In the article "I am Adam Lanza 's Mother" author Liza Long tries to shed a light on the mental illness issue that has been plaguing this country. Long is a mother of a 13-year-old mentally ill son that has fits of violent rage on regular basis. She felt the need to write a blog after the Sandy Hook tragedy.

turned the barrel to themselves. The attack happened in Littleton, Colorado at a school called Columbine High school. The perpetrators were two students of the school. In less than an hour they managed to earn the title of deadliest American school massacre that was perpetrated by members of the student body of a school. A title that will belong to Columbine until April 16, 2007 when a student at Virginia Tech killed thirty-two students. Eric Harris was born on April 9, 1981 in Wichita Kansas…

should be considered a danger to society, and that is something that the school or their parents should have caught, and it would probably be the thing that would have prevented the massacre, rather than video…

mainstream news did not limit their inaccurate coverage of video game related massacres to the 1990’s. While it may be fair to say that the news of the 90’s were simply covering a new and potentially dangerous phenomenon, in an attempt to inform the public, they still continue to inaccurately cover massacres, particularly the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Just a few days after Adam Lanza committed massacre, several news outlets in the UK ran the enormous front page headline “Killer…

It may seem as if this type of film has nothing to offer other than violence and gore. For example, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre tells the story of five teenagers that get stranded in rural Texas at their grandparents’ old house. All of them end up wandering to the house next door, which harbors cannibals that end up killing all but one of them. However, most of these deaths…

The two very-troubled boys hoped to kill thousands of people, but when their homemade bombs failed to detonate, they resorted to guns…

By Federal law gaining legal access to a gun is a process simpler than a refinancing a family home in the United States. Our government states that under federal law a licensed gun dealer cannot sell any handguns and/or ammo to anyone that is under 21 and can’t sell long arms (Shot guns/ rifles) to anyone under the age of 18 but an unlicensed dealer cannot sell handguns to anyone under 18 and can sell long arms to anyone regardless of age. Everyday there are up to nine deaths under the age of 21…

because even though Klebold and Harris had journals explaining they were going to carry out a massacre, they did not elaborate why . Dave Cullen, in his book “Columbine”, cites there is evidence Harris revered the Nazis, and in various occasions said he held a deep hatred towards humanity. Harris also believed in the idea of natural selection, and thought the weak should die. In the day of the massacre, he wore a shirt with the words “Natural selection” imprinted on it . One of Harris’ clear…
