hey there, just wanting to know if Dylan was a ginger or brunette?

Neither. A dark blonde or as some call it ‘dirty dishwater blonde’.  There was also glints of red in his hair too in certain lighting and in dimmer lighting, his hair could appear to look brown.  But it was blonde. His mom repeatedly refers to her son as a blonde in her book and she’s an artist so she should know. 😉

Did Eric or Dylan have a Madonna/Whore Complex when it came to women?

Nah, more like they had a naive and inexperienced perception of girls. And I don’t think either wanted a whore at the end of the day.  Dylan wasn’t interested in lust and Eric only fantasized about being a freak in the sheets with unsuspecting girls. The combination of Angel/Slut in one complex is not something the works for either, tbh.

On April 20, 1999, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris walked into Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. In a matter of minutes, they would kill twelve students and a teacher, and wound twenty-four others before taking their own lives.

For the last nineteen years, Sue Klebold, Dylan Klebold’s mother, has lived with the indescribable grief and shame of that day. How could her child, the promising, young man she loved and raised, be responsible for such horror? And how, as his mother, had she not known something was wrong? Were there subtle signs she missed? What, if anything, could she have done differently?

Mental Health America of Greater Dallas will welcome Sue to Texas on Thursday, November 1, 2018.

I totally might be hallucinating, but I think I remember two posts/references you made that I can no longer find. Did something happen involving Zach stealing a teacher’s credit card to buy porn? Was that in the 11k, or where can I read about that? Also, did Zach and Devon once get in a fight, prompting Zach to jump out of the car? This is a convoluted question, so thanks so much!

Zack’s naughty credit card shenanigans probably as revenge for the punishment received for the locker ha cking incident in the year prior. 

The night of the van theft arrest, Dylan was supposed to have a sleep over at Zack’s house but instead, Zack and Devon fought while leaving a (Zack’s) church function and there was a bit of a scuffle involving a car. 
(*I’ll have too look it up the specifics and add to the post later this evening)  So, Dylan ended up hanging out with Eric..and then they got in trouble with the law. 

Not at all convoluted – good, inquisitive questions. 🙂

How on earth did Eric, Dylan and Chris get away with the sort of stuff they did at Blackjack?

Because they had a very lenient, checked-out manager by the name of Bob Kirgis. The dude had a drinking problem and allowed them all to go up on the roof and drink and smoke. He was completely cool and layed back about them lighting off fireworks and dry ice bombs around the property of his business. And what he wasn’t cool with he likely didn’t know about because he was half drunk and oblivious.  When he sold the shop around early ‘99, the new management, under Chris Lau, disallowed quite a lot of the casual environment they were used to. Eric disliked it.. naturally.

I find it fucked up how Mike says he only hung out with Eric or Dylan when they wanted to do a video, but he was in Eric in Columbine happily chatting with them..

Well, quite a few of their acquaintances attempted to disassociate themselves from E & D as much as they could because it was very much a witch hunt climate immediately after.  Some of their friends and so-so friends, as with Mike,  did what they could to protect themselves even if it was ultimately pretty futile to deny or minimize their level of closeness with two friends that were now notorious, despised killers.  I seem to recall some couldn’t recall Dylan’s last name or spelled it ‘Dillon’.  So, I don’t think Mike really stopped to consider that the investigators would dig deep and get a hold of their video production tapes where it’d be transparent that hey was rather friendly with Eric.  It was merely the act of desperation and self-preservation of a scared kid.

apart from sue mentioning it in her book, how do we know eric and dylan went to outback steakhouse? did anyone see them there?

No, Dylan told Sue that’s where they were headed for dinner because Eric had coupons and he (Eric) liked eating there.  Sue relayed this information to Robyn as well after the tragedy. Other than that, we have no way of confirming that the boys actually went there the evening of April 19th. There are no eye witnesses to verify that they were there. As far as I know, Jeffco never spoke to the restaurant servers at Outback Steakhouse – though it certainly seems like they should have included such accounts in the 11K as part of a thorough investigation, huh.  They may very well have gone there for their ‘last supper’ but it might also have served as a good excuse for them to slip out of the house for a couple of hours so that Eric could collect the remaining ammo from Mark Manes who’d purchased them at their local Kmart.

AT TALK BY SUE KELBOLD: AUTHOR OF A MOTHER’S…

AT TALK BY SUE KELBOLD: AUTHOR OF A MOTHER’S RECKONING
Wednesday, September 26th speaks @ a High School in South Burlington, Vermont

Sue Klebold is the mother of Dylan Klebold, one of the two gunmen responsible for the Columbine High School Shooting on April 20, 1999 in Littleton, Colorado.   In the aftermath of the tragedy, Ms. Klebold remained out of the public eye while struggling with devastating grief and humiliation. Her search for understanding would span 15 years, during which she volunteered for suicide prevention organizations, questioned experts, talked with fellow survivors of loss, and examined the crucial intersection between mental health problems and violence. As a result, Sue became a passionate advocate, dedicated to the advancement of mental health awareness and intervention.

Copies of her book will be available at the presentation, and all author profits from the sale of her book will be donated to organizations that promote mental wellness, brain research, and suicide prevention.The talk will be followed by a Q & A and a panel presentation.

A talk with Sue Klebold followed by Q & A and a panel presentation will be held on September 26, 2018 6-8pm at South Burlington High School (550 Dorset Street, South Burlington, Vermont). 

This event is FREE and open to the public.  Registration is not required.

Charlotte McCorkel: Coming of age with Columbine: Sue Klebold to speak at HowardPosted Thursday, September 13, 2018 7:39 pmBy Charlotte McCorkelI was in high school when the Columbine tragedy took place. It rocked my world. School was a place where I had felt safe, nurtured and engaged, even as someone who had been teased quite a bit for being awkward and different.

That people, and fellow students at that, could walk into a school building with the intent to kill and follow through with such ruthless brutality was beyond my comprehension. I spent hours poring through newspaper and magazine articles searching for answers. How could this happen?

Almost 20 years later, I am a clinical social worker and a new mom. I know now, looking back, that Columbine shaped my trajectory. My work at Howard Center and in our community supports people in crisis, responding to community tragedies, and educating groups about suicide prevention and safe storage of firearms. Our own community has not been immune to tragedy.

I feel humbled to have an opportunity to be in the presence of Sue Klebold later this month when she is speaking as part of Howard Center’s Community Education series. Klebold is the mother of Dylan Klebold, one of the Columbine shooters. She has an important perspective as a parent and a message that we all need to hear about identifying early warning signs and mental health awareness.

There is no doubt that Sue Klebold’s talk and even her presence in the community may be uncomfortable for some, surfacing memories of Columbine and all the tragic shootings that followed. Nevertheless, her talk and the panel discussion that follows may be healing for others, raising themes of public safety, the challenges of parenting, defying stigma, finding resilience after tragedy, and creating a culture where seeking help is acceptable.

If you are left wondering why Howard Center chose to include this topic as part of its Community Education Series, in addition to our work providing support for individuals and families, Howard Center is committed to providing education, information, and resources about topics that impact the health and well-being of our community. This means bringing forth a diversity of topics, opinions, and presenters, sometimes with perspectives that may challenge our own biases — conscious or unconscious.

Raising awareness, reducing stigma through education, learning about resources available, and engaging in dialogue are steps we can all take to help prevent another tragedy and foster greater belonging and sense of community.

Sue Klebold will give a free and open to the public talk, followed by Q & A and a panel discussion on Sept. 26, from 6 to 8 p.m. at South Burlington High School. For more information, go to howardcenter.org.

Charlotte McCorkel is the project director of integration at Howard Center, a Burlington-based nonprofit organization that offers professional crisis and counseling services to children and adults. She oversees crisis services, intake, and disaster response. She lives in Shelburne. The opinions expressed by columnists do not necessarily reflect the views of the Brattleboro Reformer.

How do you think Dylan lost all that weight towards the end of his life? I heard he lost like close to 40 pounds. Do you think it was just lack of eating/caring to eat or was there something else in play?

Depression + anxiety (about life in general and approaching NBK) + a fast teenage metabolism. I also speculated that he may have used stimulants to keep him going throughout the day at school (and work evening after) while running on empty with not enough sleep.  Speculations on his large appetite combined with rapid weight loss were entertained here and here. You can start here with the two significant posts I did concerning his 37 lb weight loss.  You can also E-C Search ‘eating disorder’ ‘weight loss’, etc. to find more posts on the subject.

Why didn’t brooks go to Dylan’s funeral?

Jeffco was breathing down his neck trying to falsely finger him as complicit to the attack. CHS students – even the school itself – ostracized him and a few of their other friends. The school told quite a few of them they were not welcome back at the school.  So, it would not only not look good for him to risk going to Dylan’s funeral but it might endanger his own life. Seriously. E & D’s closest friends got death threats.  Brooks chose Rachel’s funeral to attend but not just because he had to. He genuinely liked her plus the mutual friend he went happened to be her ex bf (who nearly collapsed as they walked past her casket.) . Too risky personally to attend a killer friends funeral.
