Agree re: "The Hour I First Believed". The sections dealing with Columbine and its immediate aftermath were the most powerful part of the novel. I think Lamb got sidetracked trying to weave in so many big themes that the plot and characters become contrived. It was still a rewarding read but I think he could have benefited from some addition by subtraction.

I think that is the difference.The people that do this feel the "need" to do it, as this the only way to cope.In their minds there are no other ways of messing with someone.I'm not saying I agree with them, but I can understand the thought.I don't mean to sound that, yes, there is always a reason to take a gun to someones head.As I would understand a woman killing her husband after years or mental and physical abuse.To some people there is no other way out.I'm not saying I agree or advocate, but I think I can understand.

Read this comprehensive book on Columbine not too long ago. Highly recommended if you want to get some real insight on the killers and victims.

In the rush to be first to report the media can get many details wrong. This was similar to what happened with Hillsborough.

17 years ago today. Pretty much all the kids at the school now weren't even born when the tragedy happened. Wow, how time flies.
I actually finished the Cullen book this weekend. As a parent of a son entering into middle school next year, it makes me really want to stay dialed in to how he is doing and to talk about any issues he may be dealing with. It is even more challenging these days with all the social media, texting, etc. that kids do these days that didn't exist back in 1999. Although schools are very proactive these days with the anti-bullying campaigns.

I watched an interesting documentary on this last week. It was on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, can't remember. There were some details I didn't know about. For example, they videotaped themselves pretending to help a student getting bullied by shooting the bully atbthe school. They also wrote on a journal that there were maybe 80 people at the school who they liked and would not kill.
