everlasting-contrast:

“People wil never know how far a little kindness can go.”
—Rachel Scott

One of the shooters, Dylan Klebold, had known Rachel Scott since kindergarten and had even been the sound tech for a talent show she performed in, in 1998. Ironically, when the sound broke down, it was Dylan who saved the performance by hooking up a reserve tape deck. Rachel had been performing a mime dance “Watch the Lamb" which portrayed Simon of Cyrene, who carried Jesus cross along part of the Via Dolorosa. That same mime dance was later performed behind her coffin during her funeral.

“I do shit to supposedly ‘cleanse’ myself in a spiritual, moral sort of way, yet it does nothing to help my life – mainly. My existence is shit to me – how I feel that I am in eternal suffering, in infinite directions in infinite realities.” —Dylan Klebold

It’s like I have this heavy heart and this burden upon my back but I don’t know what it is. There is something within me that makes me want to cry…and I don’t even know what it is.“
—Rachel Scott – April 20,1998

Both Rachel and Dylan had their funeral on the same day – April 24, 1999

Classic Reblog in honor of Rachel Scott’s birthday – August 5, 1981. 

“They wanted revenge on the cops for arresting them in January ’98 because that ruined them on so many personal levels. Dylan was absolutely embarrassed, hardcore, he was ashamed of his arrest to a degree that just made him snap. His life was over with that arrest. He felt he could never get a job or be trusted by his family again. The arrest had a deep saddening effect on his life.”

Regarding the Van break in:
Dylan was so ashamed he didn’t even tell Nate Dykeman, who found out about it third-hand.

“I said, ‘Is this the reason you can’t go out?’
and he got all red and told me he didn’t want to talk about it.”  

 – Nate Dykeman

When did Dylan get his BMW? He got his , license Oct 1997…but in jan 30 1998 van break in Eric was driving dylan

everlasting-contrast:

Dylan got his drivers license October 16, 1997 but according to this documentation below, Dylan’s BMW 320i was recorded as purchased on December 26, 1998.  

On January 30, 1998, Dylan was a passenger in Eric’s Honda Prelude the night they got caught for the van theft.  According to Dylan’s account in his Diversion Report on March 25, 1998, he had two traffic tickets: one for speeding and one for running a red light.  

It would appear according to these records that he got these traffic tickets long before his BMW was purchased.

How can this be the case?!

This means that Dylan only had his BMW 320i approximately a total of 4 months of his entire life – from the last week of December –  likely a Christmas present from his parents – and then from January up until April of 1999.

The Klebold’s owned at least 7 cars , including 4 BMW’s that date from the 1980′s. 

If Dylan got 2 traffic tickets earlier on before he had his own BMW, it would mean he was driving one of his parents vehicles or a spare BMW his dad had on hand. He may have gotten the traffic tickets anywhere between Jan – March ‘98 which might explain why Eric was driving them the night of the van theft. 

The evidence of insurance at the bottom covers his driving and started 9/3/98 with coverage ending 4/4/99 and mentions the BMW 320i.  This would mean that the insurance coverage would’ve been updated with the new type of vehicle he was driving and put in his glove box.  The initial coverage in 9/3/98 might have been insurance cover under another one of his dad’s cars.

p.s. If the actual purchase date is truly Dec ‘98 (wow),  this alters the timeline of when the Morning Ritual video was filmed by about a month later. Seems likely he and Nate would’ve video taped it perhaps the first day back to school from winter holiday break just when Dylan got his ‘new’ car.  

I will have to check the carfax report as well as other accounts which involve his car to verify all of this. Stay tuned.

Update: Carfax report shows Dylan’s BMW was previously owned in Lafayette, CO an hours drive away from Littleton under another title number and then sold to the Klebold’s on December 26, 1998 per the certificate (below) and received a new title number issued date of 1/19/99.  His car failed it’s first emissions test on 1/21/99 and the test was retake on 1/29/99, finally passing the test.   Looks as though it was returned to the Klebolds, who kept the car and by 10/9/2001 it ended up at an Inspection Station.  There was an attempt to sell the BMW on ebay in 2006.

Incidental Update: 1.11.2018: Nate Dykeman provided the approximated date that the Morning Ritual was filmed. On the VHS tape which he provided to Jeffco his video with the title on the spine is “Dylan Klebold and Nate Dykeman, Approx. date Nov, Dec ‘98″ which also places my guestimate correctly in this post for “Winter ‘98″ based on Dylan’s hair length progression.

Hide and Go Seek

Stefanie Haney started earlier in the school year (’98), Eric Harris, Dylan Klebold, and Brooks Brown had their differences.  

She knew this after having observed in several verbal altercations in the smokers pit.  However, after the Christmas vacation, (Jan ‘99), it appeared as if Brown, Klebold and Harris had settled their difference, and were then friends.

Stefanie said that she talked to Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris while they were all in the “smoker’s pit”.  

Stefanie told me that she had smoked marijuana with Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris while they were in the “smoker’s pit”.  She said this was 1998, and said she has heard Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris talk about how they hated their parents.  Stafanie recalled that either Dylan Klebold or Eric Harris (unknown which one) had been overheard saying at one time, that their parents had taken his car away from him for getting into trouble and either Dylan Klebold or Eric Harris made a comment something to the effect of, “The will get theirs”.

She said that for a time, she knew Dylan Klebold, Eric Harris, and Brooks Brown did not get along with each other, however, she did not know why.

She said she had seen them hide when they saw each approaching their location while at Columbine High School, because they did not want to see each other.

 She said she believes they had have since worked out their differences.

In A Mother’s Reckoning, Sue Klebold, for the first time, recounts, based on her recollections, her daily journals, and the difficult and harrowing writings and video recordings her son left behind, the days and months leading up to the tragic shooting at Columbine High School, where 12 students and one teacher, as well as the shooters themselves, died–and the indelible impact on Sue, her family, the community, and our culture. In large measure, this candid and unflinching narrative was written to explore how Sue and others close to Dylan missed potential signs. How did her beloved golden boy go so utterly off the rails, without her knowledge? Did she miss the indications, subtle or obvious, that Dylan was in trouble? That her child, who had just attended the senior prom and was soon to graduate and go off to college, had a dark, secret life, and an inner rage, that she could not even imagine? Is there something valuable and important that she can share with other mothers and families in terms of recognizing the signs that might get others the help they need?

In an age when the number of mass shootings has escalated to unprecedented levels, is there something we as parents and concerned citizens and community members can do to help our children and prevent such senseless tragedies? With fresh wounds from Newtown and Charleston, never has the need or yearning for insight and understanding been more urgent.

Dylan had poor hygiene and a foot fetish. That is some creepy, dealbreaking shit right there. Yuck.

Nah, Dyl wasn’t a creepy foot fetish dude that smelled like pig pen if that’s what you sound like you’re alluding?   He was, however, your average teenage boy that was on the computer playing video games until the wee hours of the week nights which meant that he sometimes only managed to get 4-5 hrs of sleep. At the crack of dawn, the alarm would sound and he’d keep slamming the damn thing  until he eventually rolled out of his bed half asleep while fumbling for the nearest pair of decent once worn jeans and his favorite maybe twice worn AoL HaXoR t-shirt.. still crumpled up on floor from yesterday. He then grabbed his trench and trademark shades to make it out the door in time to attend his god awful  6:15 morning Bowling Class. Sometimes the shower was super quick in the morning where’d he rush out the door letting his still dripping wet curls air dry on the ride to class and other times, he didn’t bother to shower until the next day when he got home around 1:30ish. As for his foot fetish, it was an fantasy turn on in addition to the myriad of porn that frustrated teen dudes dabble in.  While he was attracted to this fetish, he never had the pleasure of indulging in it in real life.  Then again, some fantasize about sexual turn-ons they don’t necessarily even plan to make a reality.  Apparently, to Dylan, feet had begun to be something attractive to notice and look at and there isn’t anything wrong with that anymore than certain guys noticing a nice pair of well shaped legs. ahem. 😉

I liked Dylan’s hair in his senior photo, or in the Nate Dykeman morning ritual. I did not like his hair at all in RR, Breakfast Run, or Radioactive Clothing. It DOES look…a little ugh :/

I especially like this length on him best.  Though I also like it when his hair is smooth and long as when he’s dragging on the cigarette in Radioactive Clothing and oh yeah, the pony.  😉  His face works better with longer hair given the oblong length of his face as it frames and softens his features a bit more. While super short looks refreshingly different on him (as in his drivers licence photo) it tends to makes his ears stick out and his chin more pronounced.  I’m feelin’ him for wanting to grow out his hair against his parents better judgement and his habitual penchant for smoothing out his nature curl for a more smooth, straighter look – which I can relate to myself.  I think Dyl had his own individualistic look he was gravitating towards and mom and dad hounding him to get his hair cut was just.. futile. lol   Dyl was kind of a nineties hippy – one part romantic, flowing curls and the rest, a scraggly, disheveled mess. But, hey, it’s 110% genuine him – a diamond in the rough.  He wasn’t about to give in and assimilate into yet another Columbine clone prep.

My life is now a lie. I thought Dylan had his BMW by the end of his junior year. How the hell did his hair get that long from Jan ’99 – March ’99? In Jan 99 his hair looks very nice, and combed. In March 99 it looks very raggy, unkempt, and kinda just all over the place. Strange.

Haha, yeah. It’s a bit of a shocker, huh?  😉  There’s a couple misconceptions about Dylan and those are:

1) He worked quite a bit at Blackjack in ‘98 to earn for NBK. – Nope!  not the case. He barely worked at Blackjack in ‘98   He hardly worked much in a week when he did work at Blackjack his first stint (10 hrs).

2) Dylan had his BMW at least half of ‘98 up until April ‘99 – Nope!  Dylan only had his trademark BMW 320i four months of his entire life. 

And yes, I reflect on his hair length the same as you.  If it’s true that Dyan’s beemer was purchased the last week of 1998 and he first drove it to school in Jan ‘99, his hair had grown quite fast from Jan up until March of ‘99 where it’s unkempt and sticking out of his ballcap in the Rampart Range footage or how long and sleek it looks when he’s dragging on that cigarette during the Radioactive Clothing video. Plus, in the Morning Ritual vid from early ‘99, his hair looks super short and curly because you can tell he basically just showers and let his hair air dry on the way to school. His wet curls shrink up the length considerably as opposed to when it’s dry and smoothed out by him running his hands through it all day.   Still though, dude had fast growing hair. It does seem strange, yeah..

WHAAATTTTTTT? This is confusing! I thought there was no TCM in the ’98-’99 school year. I think Chris said it himself too. How would Marla be in the TCM? She wasn’t In the yearbook of the TCM in the ’97-’98 year.

The original Trench Coat Mafia was in it’s heyday peak in ‘97-98 but while some of the members graduated and/or left CHS, the younger students remained in ‘98-99. Joe Stair, Chris Morris, Brian Sargent, Thaddeus Boles, Robert Perry, Krista Hanley, Pauline Colby and Kristen Theibault were a few prominent members of the original TCM group. I believe Dylan found his link to the group through Chris Morris and Kristen Theibault. Dylan introduced Eric into the group from the members he crossed paths with.   Marla Foust was a sophomore that associated with the TCM and and made her connection to the group in the year prior.  By ‘98-99, the original TCM had sort of semi disbanded it’s members as some graduated or dropped out, like Robert Perry.  Dylan and Eric saw themselves kind of like ‘the rise of the TCM’ v 2.0 and took the meaning of the name to a whole new intimidating level.  Chris Morris, Eric and Dylan bonded at Blackjack and when the original dudes like Joe Stair was loitering at CHS, they would associate with the ‘cool’ originals to make themselves feel more ‘in’.  They kind of road on the trenchcoat tail fumes of the original TCM.

Hi :) I asked this question before but I don’t think you ever received it…but the guy with the backwards hat standing next to Dylan in the video, ‘Dylan Klebold in Theatre Class’ at the beginning of the video when Dylan was arranging the sound and Dylan was talking to him…was that Zack Heckler? He looks VERY short. I thought all of Dylan’s friends except Eric were 6ft+. Even Brooks said Nate, Zack, Dylan, himself were all 6ft+ taller than Eric.

The dude standing next to Dylan has a roundish face and is a bit stocky which is very much like Zach’s physical characteristics.  Zack was somewhere around 6′1-6′2 in height.  Since Dylan at 6′3, is about an inch or so taller than Zack, the only way this could be Zack is if Dylan were standing on some type of platform on either the stage or in the orchestra pit that makes him appear almost a good foot taller than ‘Zack’ but also the other dudes standing nearby. 

Heights are:

Brooks Brown was 6’5, Chris Morris was 6’4, Dylan Klebold was 6’3, 

 Zach Heckler was 6’2, Nate Dykeman was 6’2 …and Eric was 5’8

To other anon i truly feel dylan was scarier because the amount of anger he he kept inside and his depression, yet he was always so happy on the outside. Also his voice in the library calls are so much more chilling.

In the respect that Dylan held everything inside himself, he was scarier not to mention that he had better, more booming, THX Dolby surround sound vocal projection than Eric. 😉  Dylan was letting everything go on 4/20 and you can hear it in his “Evveerrybody get up NOW.”  

Dylan was like a rubber band that was held back, held back, held back and held. back. until SNAP !, he let’s go and was giving the world hell back for the hell he felt it gave him. 

 “The lonely man strikes with ABSOLUTE rage.”
