Eric Burdon

Everyone that is, except for two students: Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. According to Judy Hasday of "Columbine High School: Student Violence," the two boys had been planning a day that they referred to as "Judgement Day" for over a year. That morning, Eric and Dylan gathered guns, bombs, and ammunition that they had been accumulating for months. After arriving at school around 11am, they went to…

It was just a normal day at Columbine High School, after a long prom weekend. Students were just gathering together in the cafeteria eating lunch.

People till this day what motivate them to murder thirteen innocent people…

“I have bad news,” said Mr. Bannon. He continued and said, “Our president was shot and killed.” This is what Nancy’s high school teacher said in the middle of class on the day John F. Kennedy was killed. John F. Kennedy's assassination was traumatic around the whole country, if not the whole world. Nancy Zuber was willing to be interviewed on what she thought of the situation. At the time Nancy was a student in eleventh grade at reading high school in 1963. Nancy Zuber was sitting in her book…

Everyone's Clown Nightmares Are Coming to Life I came across an eerie video recently. The video was taken by a boy who was walking down a bike path with his friend. As the two friends approached a bridge, they spotted a figure at the other end of the bridge. When they got closer, they realized that the figure was a person dressed as a clown. What happened next sent chills down my spine. The clown started running towards the boys. They both turned to sprint the other way. The video ended there.…

deaths occur in a singular day in a Colorado high school. Dave Cullen’s book Columbine scrutinizes the Columbine High School massacre along with its investigative reports, rumors and murderers.

Columbine… The worst school shooting in the twentieth century… Why did Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris commit this gruesome act of violence? We all would like to think that we know the answers, but in reality, we’re far from knowing what was really going on in their minds. What were their motives? Were they bullied, or were they just going insane? Dylan Klebold was born in Lakewood, California. He was born into a passive and church going family. Dylan was in a program for the gifted in his…

Dylan Klebold was an intelligent student but had an extremely hard time fitting in at his high school. He befriended Eric Harris and they became close friends due to the similar interests they had. Dylan was hard on himself with his physical appearance, he was very self- loathing and girls did not find him appealing. Depression had a huge impact and was the underlying reason for the actions of Dylan Klebold in the massacre at Columbine High School in 1999. As time went by Dylan’s depression…

Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris was the shooters during the incident. Who or what is responsible for the Columbine massacre? Eric was the mastermind of Columbine shooting. Eric thought he was immortal, he wanted the whole world in his palms. Getting away from trouble wasn’t hard for him, his words were the key for him to get out of it."I will force myself to believe that everyone is just another monster from Doom” Eric felt like everyone is a monster to him besides his close friends. Eric hated…

Today, I'm going to convince you that the death penalty (Capital Punishment) should be abolished. This subject became important to me when I was in high school. Timothy McVeigh had bombed the Oklahoma City federal offices and killed more than 100 people. June 11, 2011 he was put to death by lethal injection in Indiana. Most of you might remember his name. I remember the parents and loved ones of his victims speaking out that lethal injection wasn't a tough enough punishment. On BBC news, many of…

responses. He also carefully includes interview bits where Sue openly wonders about Dylan (his secret pain, her nightmares about the hidden cuts on his skin) and her wish for another outcome (the “hindsight” with the stealing incident that had Dylan and Eric released back home, or the family’s plans to move away before the massacre). Solomon returns to the concrete idea that Sue cannot lead a normal life. She is marked constantly, seen in a bit of dialogue where she says, “I had to tell him who…
