rant
People complain about Eric and Dylan being problematic and there were so many things that they said that was problematic. My thing is: every single person in the world is problematic in one way or another so what is the point of acknowledging it? nothing. absolutely nothing. congratulations. you found a flaw. hooray. would you like a medal for it?
Eric and Dylan don’t deserve forgiveness but they at least deserve to be mourned. Yeah, what they did was really fucked up but they were just as human as you and I. Sure, they weren’t /murdered/ but honestly they were victims of themselves and Columbine High School as a whole. By invalidating their deaths and refusing to acknowledge them, it’s basically saying “fuck you” to the Harris and Klebold family, and that’s what really kills me. You don’t think that they mourn for their sons, that they wish they hadn’t done what they did? I’m sure they do all the time. Honestly, they live with that as a constant reminder on their conscience in one way or another and by saying there were only thirteen victims is the worst possible thing you could do.
Their crosses were vandalized and eventually removed due to the insane amount of hurtful and hateful speech written all over them. They had them replaced, and people still wrote that they needed to beg to God for forgiveness. Like, they’re dead. Do you really think a Neo-Nazi and and Anti-Semitic Jewboy were going to beg God for forgiveness in the first place? No. Absolutely not. But please, think of the families. That’s what really pisses me off the most, is the blatant disregard of the feelings of the families. it’s stunningly disgusting yet expected.
Either way, I wore all black and lit 15 candles twice and I mourned their deaths in lieu of the school completely blowing them off.
I don’t know where I was going with this but yeah.
