columbine

i know this is a huge news story, but i don't want to talk about it.

i used to run a Columbine Memorial website.

my son was in a residential treatment center a block away from Columbine the day it happened.  he had just arrived there a few days before.

i remember at 11:30ish am that day i started hearing about it on the news.  when reports first started coming out, they didn't know who the shooters were. 

i thought it was probably my son, who was so angry at having to go to this treatment center, that he snapped.

i could only relax once they announced it was two students who had done the shooting.

ironically enough, later on i worked for a lawyer who represented Jefferson County in the subsequent law suits.  i saw the videos.  i saw the photos.  i saw it all.

suffice it to say i am so sorry for this girl's parents who are grieving right now.  they are devastated and heartbroken.

💙💙
