The Merciless & Merciful
Amanda Semm recounts her CHS car swipe with Dylan’s BMW
(She posted her experience on a Columbine forum a few years ago)

“In January/February 99 I was in the senior lot (for what reason i can not remember) I saw an open parking space and i was going to pull in and a black car came out of nowhere and i clipped the left side of the rear bumper. I got out of my car in tears thinking "that’s it my mom is gonna take away my car” (I had just got my license 2-3 months prior to that) the driver of the car got out and told me “its ok the other side has been hit many times you just evened it out”, the passenger however was not as thrilled. It wasn’t till I was watching the news when they were towing Dylan’s car out of the lot that I knew who I hit. Other than that I don’t recall talking or even seeing the two.“

 When asked to give further details:

 "I was in tears and kept apologizing over and over and over I told him I had insurance and I could file a report, it was my fault and that is when I was told it wasn’t a big deal the car had been hit so many times on the other side I evened it out. I started to calm down.

Then the passenger door opened and Eric started yelling at me, something along the lines of I was a stupid bitch, why wasn’t I paying attention to where I was going (I honestly do not remember all of it) I thought for sure he was gonna send his girlfriend to kick my ass or something. (I am a 5’7 109 pound girl most people think they can take me on, I couldn’t believe he was so mad and it wasn’t even his car) Dylan told him to get back in the car and they took off. I didn’t see them again till the news.

The thing is I was paying attention, I had just learned to drive my car (manual) so hopping into a parking space wasn’t a new site for people to see from me. They were flying thru the parking lot. I checked my right then my left and started to pull foward and BAM there was a ass end of a car….(he came from the right)

I was thankful that he did not want to file a report. I didn’t want my mother to take away my car. I am pretty sure that is one of the first times I was allowed to drive it to school after getting my license 3 months prior. I thought Eric was a jerk….but anyone who gets that mad for something that can be handled in a civilized manner puts off that image.”

At this time I completed an interview with Dylan’s brother, Byron Klebold (DOB 10-23-78). Byron indicated he is no longer living at the residence but returned to the residence when he heard about the incident at Columbine. He indicated that he is working as a lot technician at the Ralph Schomp dealership and that his work # is {blank}. When asked about his relationship with Dylan, Byron indicated that he was not very close to Dylan since he moved out in July of 1997. Byron indicated the last time he saw Dylan was on their father’s birthday. When asked about Dylan’s behavior, Byron indicated that Dylan appeared to be somewhat detached and he went on to explain that as a “pissed off teenager.” Byron went on to state that Dylan gave no indication to believe that something like this was going to occur. He indicated that Dylan had knives but to his knowledge had no other weapons.

Byron went on to state that Dylan enjoyed playing games on the internet. He stated that Dylan did wear a black trench coat and that he “acted like he was tough.” When asked about friends, Byron was only familiar with three, Zack, Eric and Nate. Again, Byron indicated that Dylan’s behavior was normal and that again he wore a black trench coat to “act like a bad ass.” Again, Byron indicated that he was not familiar with anything his brother was doing but returned to the house when he had heard about the news about Columbine High School.

I don’t want to say they were nondescript,” she says. “They were nice enough, but not enough to start a conversation. We had no connection after (shooting in the woods). They seemed a little weird, but they were just boys. I was only two years removed from their age. They seemed like boys playing their war games.

“Dylan came over that night. It’s the first time I really talked to him,” Manes says. “He was already working with Linux, an advanced computer operating system, and he was in high school. They needed to wait for their next paycheck to give me the other $200. A few weeks went by, and they gave it to Phil (Duran).”

Manes and his friends regularly went shooting in the woods, so that night he extended an invitation to Klebold for him and Harris to go along. And they did several times over the next few months.

Miss Kristen Thiebault, who described Mr. Klebold as having been her ”best friend,” said members of the group often stayed up late at one another’s homes, watching movies or playing Goldeneye, a video game on Nintendo 64.

We’d all get on our four controllers and shoot each other up as many times as we could,” she said, standing on the front stoop of the Harris home today after dropping off a bunch of fire-orange roses and a card for his parents. ”Eric and Dylan always lost,” she said, recalling that they would be particularly upset when they were beaten by girls. ”It was just this constant battle of who kills who.
