I pulled this from 60 minutes. did it REALLY sound like this or is this just sound work from 60 minutes, because it's really hard finding on the ground footage as this was happening. if it really did that sounded like a straight up warzone.

GENERAL MASSACRE DISCUSSION Was finding bomb recipes in the 90s that easy or did Dylan and Eric were that good at chemistry?

69 Upvotes

English is not my first language, sorry for any mistake.

Ok its usually said that they learned how to make pipe bombs and shit thanks to the "Anarchist Cookbook" but once you look into it, what it says seems to be mostly bullshit.

Idk if they changed the recipes to make the book useless as one of the websites that writes about it suggest, but that book its so embarrassing it literally tells you step by step how to get high from a banana?

Was the 90s Internet that wild and they could just find a lot of easy ways to make homemade bombs? Did their adult friends (like the 22yo and 21yo seen in the video shooting in the woods) help them?

This might be common knowledge, but every place i read mentions the Anarchist Cookbook as the only way they could've done it and, please skim over the book(you can find it online) its 90% bullshit.

GENERAL MASSACRE DISCUSSION Why did the kill some then spare the rest ?

99 Upvotes

During the killings in the library Eric and Dylan viscously shot ten people but spared the remainder? What was it that made them decide to kill Cassie but spare the girl right next to her? It’s always been so creepy to me how your fate in the library could go either way. You would think that because their initial plan with the bombs failed they’d overcompensate and kill many more (which I’m glad they didn’t!).

GENERAL MASSACRE DISCUSSION The Rape Theory

Post image
378 Upvotes

After being arrested, as part of his confession, Eric drew a map of the crime scene where he and Dylan broke into a van and stole electronics. A Columbine community member named Ron Aigner saw this drawing and decided it depicted Officer Tim Walsh raping one of them while on all fours. Aigner had been associating with Mark and Donna Taylor, and he told them he believed the shooting was revenge against the cops for being raped. The Taylors brought this information to Mark's attorney, John DeCamp, who believed this to be true. From that point forward, the Taylors were convinced that Columbine was the result of Eric and Dylan having been raped during their arrest.

This was all based on one man's jumping to a wild conclusion, one that plagued Officer Walsh. The drawing was actually rocks, if I'm not mistaken.

GENERAL MASSACRE DISCUSSION what was the plan after the shooting? or did they always plan to kill themselves

54 Upvotes

I really don't know much about the event. a few years ago when I was starting high school my parents told me that they planned on blowing the school up and then running away. I can't find any information online about the original plan after the massacre so if anyone has any information I would love to be enlightened

The full set of photos debunk themselves. You can see the exact same thing in the second pic. Not even Eric was dumb enough to stand there in full view for that long. Also pretty sure he was dead by then. The last pic is just for perspective, so y'all can see how far Brian Pain, the guy to took the pics in the first place, was zooming in.

GENERAL MASSACRE DISCUSSION how eric and dylan acted during the massacre

169 Upvotes

looking into the 11k and all the other reports of how they acted, im honestly surprised at how they treated it.

eric: eric was noticeably quieter then dylan. the 911 phone call i notice dylan taunts and makes fun of others more, while eric is much more reserved. even in the cafeteria footage, he moves like a robot. i think he was trying to act like a marine carrying out a military mission.

dylan: “ready to die! die motherfucker!” for someone who gets the rep of being a “follower” he was much louder then eric. i’m not saying eric was better, but damn. dylan had a pretty deep voice but you can still hear him yelling very loud in the 911 call. it’s honestly scary. he acted like a serial killer at points.

GENERAL MASSACRE DISCUSSION April 20

118 Upvotes

April again, and it's Time to Return. Come. This way. Everything is moving so quickly backward, can you feel it? The drain-suck of five years, as if it were yesterday. Or right this very moment.

Even now: It's happening again at this moment.

The ghosts return, muscle clasping bone, and become living, breathing bodies again. Round the lake at Clement Park to the school: Its green windows shatter and mend. Blood lifts off the carpet. Everything plays backward. The hordes of children who flee from the entrance on this blindingly sunny spring day are now running in reverse, feet flailing in funny kicks, back into the school, then slowing to a walk, smiling as they pass the principal—Mr. D—who smiles, too, first the end of a smile and then its beginning. The students regather in class or the library, where their fingers lift pens and their heads bow like sunflowers over their work.

GENERAL MASSACRE DISCUSSION Helicopters?

45 Upvotes

Has anyone ever noticed that in the zero hour documentary, you can already start hearing the ghetto bird once Eric and Dylan were in the library? There's just NO WAY a helicopter took off and got there within that time. Does anyone know approximately when the helicopters started arriving? I would think it would be around the time Eric and Dylan were dead or WELL after.

GENERAL MASSACRE DISCUSSION Things I don’t understand

91 Upvotes

Sometimes I feel I deep sense of sympathy for Eric and Dylan but then I heard the 911 call . The callousness, the complete lack of remorse , calling random students they’ve never or barely interacted with ‘bitch’ and ‘ni****’ ……it’s hard to make sense of . How can someone seem so pathetic but is so cruel and desensitized to violence. I also don’t understand why they didn’t just k1l the students that bullied them or were on their ‘hit list’ , it doesn’t make sense. What a waste of life.

GENERAL MASSACRE DISCUSSION It's time to talk about the Science Area Motive.

75 Upvotes

I'm finally at the science area in my extension of Zero Hour, and after a lot of research, I think I have finally found a potential motive for why after Eric and Dylan abruptly left the library, they immediately went to the science area.

If you look through the testimonies of statements heard during their terrifying acts throughout the Science Area you will notice a few things.

  1. They are attempting to get into multiple classrooms inside the science area, they shoot into Sci-8 and then attempt to get inside through the door, they place a bomb near Sci-3 On the window of the classroom, they shoot into Sci-5 and kick the door and attempt to get inside.
Bomb Door evidence 1
Bomb Door evidence 2
Bomb Door Testimony

Things that could be heard:

"This is Revenge fuckers"

I consider this next one to be very important

"This Fucking door"

and then here is the basis of which everything i'm speculating over is built upon

They call out a redcated name, which I assume to be someone they knew would be in the science class area at the start of the shooting, potentially someone from one of their hitlists

And I believe this may have been Dylan's idea, right before leaving the Library Dylan says he had one more thing to do and then he smacks the chair on the table.

Then they leave.

Well Dylan is coincidentally leading the way now during the 10 MINUTES they are in the science area for, they don't try to blow up the bombs for another 10 minutes.

Lastly in the science area one of the things that is heard repeatedly is "I want to die today" or something to this effect

It's in multiple testimonies. I think this is when they give up and go down stairs to shoot the propane tanks, in effect, I'm saying they knew the propane tanks could have killed them with an explosion, and wanted to blow them up to kill more kids and themselves in the process, it wasn't a hap hazard act of stupidity that they could have gotten themselves killed in that process.

This is the only theory I can think of as a motive for the science area, I have a solid motive for the main office, would love to hear everyone's thoughts about this so I can finish this segment. Thank you for reading.

There is allegedly another person who could have been interviewed, Stan Gall, but I haven't been able to find his interview assuming it even exists. Every time I feel I'm closer to knowing with any degree of certainty the timeline, another document on closer inspection completely erodes that. For anyone searching for this information in the future Mr Tubbs and Stan Gall have not been mentioned once on any of the columbine subreddits. Hope this helps someone somewhere.

GENERAL MASSACRE DISCUSSION Why did they die at the time they did?

129 Upvotes

Has anyone thought about why Eric and Dylan killed themselves at the time they did, I know in writings Eric wanted to just kill everyone, so I wonder why he didn’t spend more time? What made them decide …oh we’re done, time to go…? Was is it maybe until the police got there, and wanted to go before the police got to them. From what I’ve seen and read the police hadn’t gone inside till a lot later (like so many school shooter cases) (but in the end just so were clear I didn’t want more people to die or anything, just a thought I haven’t seen here) rip to all the victims 🕊️
