“Do you feel any anger towards Eric and Dylan now?”

Devon Adams, who had been a close friend of the two: This is kind of a tough question for me. I was very good friends a long time ago with Dylan. A long time ago. And I was also friends with Eric my freshman year until I got scared of him. He threatened my life, and I pretty much said, no thanks, you leave now, I don’t like you.

Prom night, I danced with Dylan because he was one of my best friends. He had been my confidant. I wanted to tell him how much he meant to me, and I said, no, there’s tomorrow. And I never told him. And then he was gone and he took all these people with him, including two of my friends. And, every time I think about him and Eric I just… it makes me so mad, it just sickens me, that they would have ever done that. I wish we could go back to before it all happened. And I wish I could have done some things differently.” (May 9, 2005)

It doesn’t matter anymore anyway.

A few weeks before the shooting, Dylan got sent to Richard Long for swearing at the librarian, Peggy Dodd.  Dylan used more than 10 pages for printing per their policy and so Peggy Dodd tried to get him to pay. Dylan replied by calling her a “Bitch.”  He was then sent to Richard Long. When Richard Long asked Dylan what happened, Dylan replied “Well, that Bitch…” Long stopped him there and told him he was banned from the computers for good, and he laughed at him and said something to the effect of: “You know what? It doesn’t matter anymore anyway.” 

Fear and panic in the air
I want to be free
From desolation and despair
And I feel like everything I sow
Is being swept away
Well I refuse to let you go

I can’t get it right
Get it right
Since I met you

Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over

Life will flash before my eyes
So scattered and lost
I want to touch the other side
And no one thinks they are to blame
Why can’t they see
That when we bleed we bleed the same

I can’t get it right
Get it right
Since I met you

Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over
Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over
