I really want to know what Brooks said about Eric and Dylan to Alice in those chats but I’ve been a victim of an online predator and I kind of panicked when I started reading it. I can’t read it, I feel dizzy and sick. Could you compile everything he said about them?

Let me get this straight: you can’t read it but you want to anyway? You’re a bit like someone that doesn’t want to see the car crash but they can’t help but look anyway.  😉 

I just relinked the post with the complete transcript between Brooks/Alice here since other people had also been asking about it.

Warning: read at your own risk. 

When Dylan writes about desiring his love, he mentions being one with her. I’ve only heard this in connotation with intercourse. Was that what he was implying or did he mean something else?

“..to cuddle with her, to be one w her, to love, just laying there.”

Being physically and spiritually so together with her that they are merged as one.  So, yes, that would encompass all forms of close physical connection/expression while they are spending time together – and that includes making love with her as much as it does bonding with prolonged cuddling sessions where they just laying about, being together and innocently doing nothing, in bliss. Simply being together as one.  Dylan is not the type of guy to be crude writing anything remotely about ‘sex’ in his writings and so he is very subtle and veiled about it. It’s almost like he folds it into everything else: It’s like in his mind, cuddling..laying there together..being a union of one. As he sums it up: ”to love”  It’s really all the same to him. The various form of expression is higher and purer than the crudeness of simply lustful desires and just merely having sex or fucking a girlfriend for his own lustful gratification.

Didn’t they set a bomb off somewhere away from the school as s distraction. Where was that and did police actually go to it

Yes. Prior to the shooting, a diversionary bomb exploded on the east side of the greenbelt field near the 7900 block of South Wadsworth Boulevard between Ken Caryl and Chatfield Avenues (pretty close to Eric’s house). The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office was notified of the explosion at 11:21 a.m.  The Littleton Fire Department responded and West Metro Fire Department Investigator Bill Maron completed the investigation.  The investigation revealed that two backpacks containing explosive diversionary devices, built with multiple components, had been placed at this location by E & D.  Only some of the components actually exploded.

The examination of the diversionary devices by bomb technicians provided immediate critical information about the sophistication of the devices and the possibility of motion activators attached to the bombs.  That information was relayed to the command post, the SWAT teams and the bomb technicians responding to the scene at the high school.  See map here.

I kind of get the feeling Eric would be the player type of guy if he had girls over him

I think if Eric was bored after a while, he might look elsewhere on the side to replace and dump the girl before she did him.  I’m not necessarily saying he’d do this as a given only that he might have a tendency toward this type of behavior had he hypothetically got his feet much wetter having relationships or long-term dates.  He had a history of sabotaging things with girls and testing them with the things he said and did out of restlessness and needing a challenge and wanting a girl that could push back and was, therefore, more interesting. He might get tired of a chick if he lost respect for her and might start dating around on the side in search of a replacement.

Do you have pictures of the all the girls in TCM? Or at least names and contact with E&D

Some of the original TCM chicks posing with the gang in the ‘98 yearbook. All of these girls were friendly with E & D though Kristen considered Dylan a ‘best friend’.

How long was Chris dating that girlfriend of his? And did she have any contact with E&D

Chris started dating Nicole in ‘98 and he then started distancing himself from E & D with a steady girlfriend in his life. He stopped wearing the trenchcoat and was less angry all the time as he’d used to be.  Nicole was friends with E & D by way of Chris.  Not close friends but just friends. Nicole was friends with other TCM members such as Kristen Thiebault.

Was Dylan lazy ?

Sure, he could be. He could be lazy and sloppy when something disinterested or bored him of which he had little or no desire to do and it didn’t seem to serve enough of a point of importance in the grand scheme of things in his mind.  For example, he slacked up until the last minute on school work or was late turning assignments or was reading some other book in class which caused his grade to dip way down.  Math class would be an example of this. Or something he dreaded and hated like gym class – so he’d show up late and get into trouble for it.  Conversely, when it was something that sparked his interest such as playing baseball, he was competitive and passionately played wanting very much to win and also with the Fantasy Baseball league team he managed, he was very diligent and excelled at both the organizational functioning combined with the sure-fire intuitive plays that he tended to make with his gut instinct.  His friend Chris Hooker stated: “he was so awesome we thought he should’ve managed a team in real life.”    Dylan thrived in video production class and also managing the technical sound for the school’s plays.  These forms of education were more fun and less boring and rigid like math.  Such things engaged his expression of individuality and allowed his natural talents and interests shined.  He was able to make executive decisions on how the sound should come in on a certain scene or to develop a screenplay and figure out how to shoot neat angles to his production rather than just solving math problems that relied on the same pat complex formulas that anyone could solve.  But who cares?  Mrs Caruthers, the theater class teacher called Dylan “efficient” at sound design.   Dylan wasn’t lazy when he was younger but he became more that way over time as he became more depressed and apathetic about what seemed like limitations that this life could only seem to offer him. As a brilliant gifted kid, he was not at all stimulated enough in with a creative approach that engaged him enough to want to care and make more an effort.   Being a high achiever in school meant that he was just jumping through all the correct hoops that society wanted their obedient zombies to do.  But what is the real meaning to life besides falling in line with what is deemed ‘successful’ here on planet Earth?  It seemed more important to resist perfect obedience to The Society but slacking off.
