I think you mean to say that one of the subtitles in my video read “the doors were here”.  lol   So, essentially, the library was made into an open atrium with artwork hung from the ceiling and it is directly above the cafeteria. This video shows what it looks like now. 

I think they had everything riding on that day it was just like now or never, carp diem!  If they retreated, regrouped and rescheduled for another day, they’d lose the momentum and inertia with all the mental and emotional energy they’d built up on 4/20 being their last day on earth.  From a logical standpoint, they had set the diversion bomb in the field a distance from the school as well as the propane bombs set to go off in their cars. They were banking on all of those to work even if the cafeteria bombs failed to detonate when they timed them.  So, their cars had two large set propane bombs and discarded ammo, gasoline tanks, molotovs, etc. littered inside of them  Driving home with all of that suspect shit to rehide once they got back home would’ve been problematic to manage.  Everything was just hinged on it being that day so even if their pièce de résistance had failed to start the whole thing off with a bang! in the cafeteria, they spur-of-the-moment decided to execute an improvised plan of attack. Within the hour, NBK morphed into a garden variety school shooting, akin to other small potato ones that had already occurred in the 90s, and it was the exact opposite of what they had gloriously, diabolically envisioned of what would make theirs stand out as the worst ever.

I’d say, your very first stop should be to review acolumbinesite.com and The Victims and Shooters section. Get yourself familiarized with the boys’ journals. The site is a good, overall, essential resource for people that are new to the case. If that site piques your curiosity, I’d also highly recommend checking out these three fine books: No Easy Answers by Brooks Brown, Columbine: A True Crime Story by Jeff Kass, and A Mother’s Reckoning by Sue Klebold. From there, you’ll probably be too far gone down the rabbit hole. haha.  Hope that helps. 🙂 

Ahh… okay, gotcha. lolol

He might’ve worked up the nerve to just cut to the chase and end his life while in a particularly dark and desperate mood.  After all, he did ask his mom to buy him a gun as a Christmas present (though not at all really expecting she’d say yes). It’s hard to say if he was hoping to have that gifted gun to commit suicide or rather as a solution to obtain firearms for NBK with Eric.  We do know that he held on to the guns he purchased specifically for NBK and it seems as though he had committed to the plans with Eric- even though he was personally still suffering infinitely (as evinced in his writings). So, he appeared to hold out and not use his weapons on himself but rather to wait to commit suicide with his best friend at the proper place and time they designated. I think pre NBK planning (prior to ‘98), had his family kept firearms in the house, Dylan might’ve toyed with cutting his life short. We just don’t know whether he would’ve worked up the courage to do it on his own at an earlier point in time. I think Dylan sort of devolved and deteriorated from sophomore to senior year through various circumstances and he finally reached a point where he’d fully prepared himself to be super desperate enough to leave this place –  but NBK was the way to trap himself within the school so he could never back out of it.  Killing himself alongside his close friend would make it a much easier thing to do. 

It’s a plausible unconscious reason.  According to Eric’s recollections of his past, he always seemed to have one best friend above the rest, and he lost every one of them upon moving so his choosing Dylan to fill those shoes seems to be a reoccurring motif of ‘it’s just us two against the world’.  At this point in high school, it would be as if he was protecting and holding on to what he considered his one and only best friend -within his insecurity of the threatening climate at Columbine – and at the expense of losing other friendships that weren’t as loyal in his eyes. 

Other than Eric volunteering Penthouse as one of three of his favorite magazines on an internet questionnaire, there is no information as to what ‘porn and stuff’ he was into. 

I seem to recall that was Kristi Epling that imparted girl advice to Eric (but maybe it was Kim Carlin, I’d have to check).  Tbh, only he needed such advice since all the times Dylan ever asked chicks out you could count on one hand (er, ah, and less than five fingers). 

The broken glass was a school safety display as part of the conference that I attended there. I don’t recall specifically what it was but maybe another photo from all the ones I took would reveal that.  Yeah, I know.. still eerie as seen in that snap I took from Eric’s pov. lol

That’s certainly a good question. I’d speculate that since Devon confided in Dylan that she may have been vocal about his friend but that Dylan mostly silently listened to her complaints and likely just responded with a non-committal sort of  ‘yeah, well, you know, that’s just Eric.’ basically advising her to just take Eric blowing off steam with a grain of salt.  Unfortunately, we don’t have any information from Devon about this though.

No, I don’t think so.  Remember, Sue has a fair amount of private family videos and photos of her own for the moments when she craves hearing and seeing her son..and without having to tread on youtube where she’d be exposed to all the strange, obsessed and nasty public commentary. Besides of which, the majority of the videos on youtube are of him play acting in video productions and not the real Dylan as in her candid home vids.
