-O. My humanity, -O.

The everlasting struggle.

They always will..  I love her, she loves me.  i know
she is tired of suffering as i am. it is fine.  it is time. 
I love her the journey, the endless journey started
it has to end. we need to be happy to exist timely.
I see her in perfection, the halcyons. await, endless
purity.  i exist as less than nothing to her  -O.
My humanity, -O.  I don’t know if i should call her,
or wait for fate (symbol) to act.  Yet, calling her is
a state of humanity. i’m forever sorry, infinitely,
about the pornos.  My humanity has a foot fetish,
& bondage extreme liking. i try to thwart it, sometimes
to no effect.  Yet, the masturbation has stopped.  I’m sorry
—— always.  I feel the happiness here, thinking
of her, for brief moments.  That’s how i know the everything
is true.  –Dylan Klebold

As a young child, Dylan made parenting easy. From the time he was a toddler, he had a remarkable attention span and sense of order. He spent hours focused on puzzles and interlocking toys. He loved origami and Legos. By third grade, when he entered a gifted program at school, he had become his father’s most devoted chess partner. He and his brother acted out feats of heroism in our backyard. He played Little League baseball. No matter what he did, he was driven to win—and was very hard on himself when he lost. 

His adolescence was less joyful than his childhood. As he grew, he became extremely shy and uncomfortable when he was the center of attention, and would hide or act silly if we tried to take his picture. By junior high, it was evident that he no longer liked school; worse, his passion for learning was gone. In high school, he held a job and participated as a sound technician in school productions, but his grades were only fair. He hung out with friends, slept late when he could, spent time in his room, talked on the phone, and played video games on a computer he built. In his junior year, he stunned us by hacking into the school’s computer system with a friend (a violation for which he was expelled), but the low point of that year was his arrest. After the arrest, we kept him away from Eric for several weeks, and as time passed he seemed to distance himself from Eric of his own accord. I took this as a good sign.

“This is Eric Harris, there’s a bo– in the building…”

“A lead investigator on the Cafeteria Team was in close contact with me for years, and told me about a conversation he had with the secretary who answered that call the morning of the shooting and he stressed to me how upset she was that no one did anything about it.

Whether it was Eric or not is a different story, and personally I don’t think it was Eric. But if the investigator is telling the truth, the phone call happened. And at the exact time of that alleged call, someone saw Dylan Klebold on the payphone in the hallway.

It always struck me as odd that someone saw Dylan at the payphone until I heard about the alleged call to the secretary… it’s a possibility. Dylan’s close friend’s mother told me that just days before the shooting he was at her place, lacing up his boots and she asked him if he was excited to graduate and he got really sad and depressed about it, and just didn’t seem like he was okay. I don’t think he wanted to kill other people the way Eric did. It shows in the ballistics, too. The people they both shot – Eric shot first, Dylan after they were wounded. Eric killed the majority. The reports will say otherwise, but when you analyze each wound and look at the fatal shots, the fatal shots belonged to Eric mostly, with the exception of 3 people. The issue isn’t whether the phone call happened – I’m wondering if this is written in the reports anywhere. And if it happened, I don’t think it was Eric. Also, in the beginning, Eric started shooting outside with his 9mm rifle. Dylan started with his shotgun. Everyone was within long range of them. Eric knew his rifle was the better option.

Dylan’s shotgun was sawed off at the barrel and the stock, which made it even less accurate and gave it more spread. Also it was a double barrel, so it only fired 2 shots before needing to be reloaded. He had a semiauto 9mm pistol that didn’t have the best accuracy but much better than his shotgun. But yet he chose to start by firing his shotgun.

It’s highly possible that the reason all of them (bombs) didn’t go off at the school is because Dylan didn’t actually set them to begin with.We don’t know who walked them into the cafeteria, but it was in Dylan’s plans that he was to set them in there… so he may not have pulled out the alarm button. HUGE possibility!

I’m not sure I’d say Dylan was the depressed follower. I’d say they were both in it for different reasons and the plan just worked for both of them for their differences and similarities. It’s like people who drink coffee to enjoy it (Eric) and people who drink it to get the job done of getting caffeine (Dylan).”
