Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold

it was like for Susan Klebold. If I was taken back by this book and story, I cannot fathom what Susan went through. I am not a mother, so I don’t know what it is like to lose a son or to know that my child did something terrible. All I can say is that after reading and watching her interviews, I can tell she is a strong and brave woman. It may have taken her many months to get to the state that she is in, but I do not blame her. Knowing that…

hard day. But that's clearly simplifying things. The age and gender of any mass shooter, including Columbine's, puts the in the target demographic for first-person-shooter video games. people between 18 ad 25 are shown to have more mental issues. Harris and Klebold's mental-health problems have been thoroughly looked at. Time to move So in conclusion violent video games do not cause violence, because there isn't enough data, some studies show it actually helps people express themselves, and that…

Violence in a media driven world Thinking back to when I was younger I can remember all of my friends parents setting up parental control options on their televisions, restricting what shows, movies, and video games their children had access to. Parents were and still are concerned about how violence in media could affect their children. We briefly discussed this topic in class when we learned about Banduras BoBo doll. I picked this topic because when I was a kid my parents didn’t have many…

This is perfectly displayed in the documentary when Moore displays the real life CCTV footage of the Columbine shooting. The footage illustrates the two seniors, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, in the cafeteria of the school with a plethora of knives, bombs and - most importantly – guns, as they destroy everything and kill 12 people. The CCTV footage promotes the personalisation of the crime allowing the audience to experience…

Juvenile Offenders I believe juvenile offenders should be subjected to the same sentencing guidelines as adults who commit the same crime. My reason being is, pertaining to the proper age of knowing right from wrong. A teenager should have fully grasped the concept of what to do and what not to do through discipline or self experience socially. Although we do mature as we get older, doesn 't that doesn 't mean we should have to take the risk of bad deeds done by a minor, to repeat the same…

Imagine a world where criminals kill people by the thousands. Robberies occur at a moments notice and no one can stop it. Police are scared to even go to a crime scene because they never know when they’ll be jumped. Blood pours into the sewer at every street corner. Welcome to the gun controlled world. This is why we need more gun control laws then what we have now. Gun laws are super important to today’s society. The founding fathers made these laws as a precaution. Today we have updated…

When a youth commits a crime one worries about how they will be processed within the justice system. The juvenile justice system originally was based on punishing any juvenile over the age of seven in the same manner as they punished adults. These concepts began to change as society started to assess, psychologically, the mental capacity of a child. Do they really understand the consequences of their action? As noted on the website Attorney Directory – LawyerShop (2015), this was the…

I liked this book in the sense that it did more to shed light on the events, the motives, and the aftermath of Columbine than anything I had seen or read before. I think what the book does best, is balancing the story of the survivors, the investigators, and the community, with the narrative of the killers, which is paramount in answering the biggest question to come out of this tragedy: why? On the other hand, I felt sick reading this book, which I think is a result of growing up after…

trade prove this. They prove that anyone can be corrupted to commit evil deeds. They also prove that humanity will choose to be evil. One tragic event that proves people choose to be evil is Columbine. After planning a massive slaughter, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold went to their Colorado school, planted bombs, and then began firing on students on April 20, 1999 . They killed 12 students and 1 teacher, before turning the guns on themselves and pulling the trigger, killing both.This event…
