Respect The Dead

On April 20th, 1999, in Littleton, Colorado, two bullied goths took righteous vengeance on the popular kids that made their lives a living hell; they entered Columbine High School that morning, armed with AR-15s and went on a “jock hunting spree”, targeting bullies, Christians, and the pretty girls who rejected their romantic advances. By the end of that school day, 15 people were dead. Except almost none of that was true on April 20th, 1999. But it remains the way the public remembers the Columbine Massacre. And this proliferation of mistruths, this sensationalized version of the tragedy, would become the genesis of Columbine’s ultimate legacy: the Era of the School Shooter.  Show Notes: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRvvuhaU/ https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRvvmRkH/ https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRvvBS9w/
