Columbine, depositions, Lewis Babcock

Sealed depositions may be end of Columbine study:

Read the words of one Professor Del Elliott, director of the Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence at the University of Colorado.

Professor Del Elliott said Tuesday he doubts he will undertake a study into the causes behind the Columbine High School shootings now that depositions of the killers’ parents have been sealed.

In the meantime, the nationally recognized expert on violence prevention said he expects the ruling will translate into more lives lost.

“We’ve not had a chance to learn much about was going on in the lives of (killers) Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold that precipitated this event,” he said.

“Unfortunately, it’s going to be repeated,” he added, “and maybe then we’ll learn more about the circumstances which lead young people to commit these kinds of horrendous acts.”

I hope you’re paying attention Judge Lewis Babcock. I hope that robe can help you clean the blood of future victims off your hands.

I have no real opinion one way or the other about this but doesn’t this logic only work if you believe that Klebold and Harris were the typical school shooters, which you have said time and time agian that they weren’t. That they weren’t social outcasts, never bullied, never had anything done to them, like most other school shooters have.

There seems to be little evidence to me that this wasn’t some isolated incident that inspired totally different people to do the same thing and I highly doubt much can be gathered from those depositions that can’t be gathered elsewhere. We already knew much about their lives, the only thing that would help now is getting inside their heads and I don’t see the parents really going there.

Shit, man, you were so fucking right. Now more are dead, twenty-one at least today alone in a shooting which makes Columbine look small-time.

Fuck, my thoughts and prayers are with you and all your brothers and sisters in the United States today.

Take care, friends.
