So Dylan had two trench coats. His leather was so much better than the other crappy cheaply made look duster. Not sure why he didn’t wear the leather one more besides in radio active clothing

Dylan got the full-length leather coat from his parents Christmas of ‘98 which was after Hitmen for Hire and all their other (released) video production had been shot.  Plus, the duster trench was sort of the established TCM look at school.

Do you think Dylan liked avocados

Gotta love these questions. lol.

Yeah, I think so.  Why?  Because Sue said Dylan was an adventurous eater and was often experimental and open to trying different sorts of food.   I would bet the Klebolds made big salads along with their meals which probably had a sliced avocado in there somewhere along with the heirloom tomatoes and red onion to go along with those “gloppy” Mexican casseroles that Dylan and Byron liked so much.  Nom-maste. Makes me hungry. 😉   

Do you think dylan ever owned a smashing pumpkins shirt? i would assume no bc eric, but if he did which one do you think he would have owned?

Yes, he had this one, see here (and preferably cat hair free 😉 ).  I feel like he also owned Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and maybe Siamese Dream t-shirts.  I don’t think Dylan gave a rats ass as to whether Eric approved of his shirt selections. Afterall, he wore plenty of The Chemical Bros t-shirts (and Dj Spooky too) and Eric wasn’t into them at all.

did lockdown drills exist in schools before columbine happened?

 “Lockdown” tactics were developed in the late 1970’s in Southern California. But a more accurate description of the tactic would be “secure in place.” Lockdown was developed in response to drive-by shootings and street level crime occurring outside of school buildings. The district had perimeter fencing, the building would be “locked down” and Law Enforcement Officers employed by the school district, who were already within the perimeter, would deal with the incident along with other arriving outside agency officers. Eventually, with the school shootings that began to occur in the nineties culminating with the seige of Columbine, the drill was modified to lockdown a campus for an active shooter/ threat both outside and inside the school premises.  A lockdown drill as they are conducted today with students and staff participating as they would for a fire drill, wouldn’t have been a normal procedural thing pre-Columbine.

You’ve talked at length before about how Dylan craved physical touch and affection and I found it interesting how Sue confirmed this in her story of Dylan and his get well pegasus stating he was, “always a physically affectionate child.” Without this touch in his later years, he almost seemed to wither like a plant without water. Would touch have helped to ensure he remained grounded?

I certainly feel as though physical contact and affection with someone who cared about Dylan would’ve helped ground that tendency he had to stay up in his head and live imprisoned inside his mind like a strange, intellectual alien feeling like he didn’t fit in anywhere in humanity. As he grew older, he distanced from mom and dad so the familial affection he used to both give and receive as a small boy had become fleeting, and of course, no longer desirable as a disengaging, self-sufficient teenager. But he still craved connection with another human being that was on a deeper level and he equated this with the concept of ‘love’ which he felt was completely absent in his life. Don’t get me wrong, physical touch wouldn’t have healed him whole but it would’ve been helpful in healing him in a nurturing, reconnecting sort of way.  Providing commune in the physical realm rather than where he’d automatically tend to go ‘out there’ all caught up inside his headspace in his never-ending El Thoughtzos.  When he thought of being with a girlfriend, he thought of simple things such as just ‘laying there’ and ‘cuddling’.  He wanted that fundamental physical body connection like someone thirsty for water far more so than any typical teenage dude desiring mere sexual gratification. He simply needed the most basic forms of physical affections – to just be hugged for an extended period of time, to cuddle with limbs entwined (..but nothing beyond that), holding and stroking of hands or having his back rubbed or massaged.  In addition to touch therapy, he needed someone he could feel safe confiding in so that he could unload his thoughts and to have someone he felt close to be that silent, receptive, non-judgmental sounding board.  He was like a balloon drifting off in the remote distance of space that needed to be tugged down by way of physical touch and to share and commune connectedly with another human being.

Why do you think it was hard for Dylan to tell Eric “ no I don’t want to hang out today” versus his other friends?

Dylan didn’t want to potentially piss Eric off in the process of distancing himself. He already witnessed and was well aware of how Eric had a hot and cold disposition and that he regularly burned bridges and gave the cold shoulder to his other friends when offended (Brooks and Zack).  If Dylan was upfront with Eric about making the decision not to hang out much anymore, he knew Eric would only react one way: hurt and pissed. That would be unavoidable if the news came from his mouth. Eric would flip like a switch and turn on him like a dime potentially causing him grief in school. He might also be targeted on Eric’s website shit list as Brooks had been. So, his solution was to use his parents to act as a buffer in the distancing process rather than having it come directly from him which would’ve devolved into a very unpleasant mess. He’d feel terrible about it too. It was a sticky situation for Dylan and he was ambivalent about breaking off with Eric but ultimately he decided not to abandon him because Dylan never did that with any of his friends, no matter what.  

Hi hope this makes sense if not I’m sorry. Was Dylan allowed a bus going to school of did he have to get driven there. I understand Eric not get one since he could potentially walk there but do you think Dylan was allowed since his house was pretty far.

There were no bus stops in the Deer Creek Mesa rural boonies neighborhood the Klebolds lived in.  Until he drove and had a car, Dylan would either have to be driven to school or carpool in his friends’ cars.  Eric road the bus but hated it so was happy to get rides with friends when he could until he got his own car. 

How solid is the claim that Eric actually composed (but didn’t send) an email to Sarah?? And why do you think jeffco would refuse to let her see it :/ I thought they would have legally had to? So sad :( wonder what he said her

Mm..only about as solid as we’ve read in these articles?  I’d have to search and poke around to see if I can find anything more on this though if Jeffco denied Sarah herself from seeing the email, I’d imagine that they’d intentionally omit mentioning it as evidence in the 11K.  I’m guessing that Sarah told the interviewer in the article that she somehow found out from Jeffco that Eric had written her but that they decided not to release the contents either to her or the public.  It sure is curious why they wouldn’t do so, isn’t it? What do they have to hide by denying her a personal email from her friend?  Maybe what (and how) Eric wrote to Sarah would humanize him just a little too much and go against FBI lead investigator Dwayne Fuselier kneejerk conclusion from reading Eric’s journal that he could only be a psychopath. As much as we’d like to believe that the authorities are obligated to legally release evidence, the reality seems to be that they don’t have to release anything at their discretion. After all, look at the Basement Tapes and the other case evidence they arbitrarily destroyed without public knowledge. 

Hi, how are you? I read a lot of things every day because of the number of blogs or pages I visit, and once I saw something about Dylan saying rude to teachers or in front of them, you can certainly read a lot of things but I usually come here to make sure they are true

I’m alright, thanks for asking. 🙂  If I understand you correctly you’re asking if it’s true as to whether Dylan was rude to teachers in front of the class?  Yes, that’s true. See here and here.
