I cannot believe it. It was 10 years ago on this very day. Columbine High School was shot up by Eric Harris an Dylan Klebold. It resulted in 13 deaths. I was in high school when this horrible bloodbath happened. It sure felt like yesterday. God, time flies fast. Where were you when Columbine unfolded in 1999?
I thought to myself that the Columbine massacre was in retaliation against the trial of Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols for their involvement in the Oklahoma City Bombing and the Branch Davidian Fire, which happened two years before the bombing. Both are related because the Oklahoma City Bombing happened in retaliation against Waco. Also, Harris and Klebold planned the attack on the day of the Branch Davidian Fire and Oklahoma City Bombing. Had the bombs went off in the school on April 19th or April 20th, people would probably assume it would be somehow related to the Branch Davidian Fire and Oklahoma City Bombing. The Columbine Massacre was suppose to be a bombing that would of claimed hundreds of lives and it would of been viewed differently. Also, Ted Kaczynski, was caught as the Unabomber and ended up in prison. Ramzi Yousef and Sheikh Omar Abdul were sentenced to life in prison around the time McVeigh, Nichols, and Kaczynski were convicted and sentenced for their terroristic deeds. Yousef and Omar bombed the World Trade Center in 1993 in attempts of destroying it, but they failed. Sadly, the World Trade Center would be destroyed in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack after two airplanes attacked the towers. All of them were sent off to ADX Florence Supermax Prison for life, about an hour from Columbine High School.
That could really have pissed off Harris and Klebold and somehow they could relate to them. In many ways, Harris and Klebold lived a life similar to a terrorist and died like one. Harris and Klebold said in their diary that it was a copycat of the Oklahoma City Bombing, in which there is a copycat effect. It could be simple as a copycat effect or something worse which would be retaliation towards the federal government, which was the reason the 1995 bombing happened.
