Columbine Fact

Just a quick note I ran across while reading that is important enough to share. 

I am reading a book titled "The truth behind death at columbine" by Brooks Brown and Rob Merritt.  Brooks Brown grew up with Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold and was the first person to encounter Eric Harris that morning in the school parking lot.  He is also featured in Michael Moore's "Bowling for Columbine" movie. 

In the book, Mr. Brown recalls the wrath of school shootings that took place in the late 1990's. He said that the incidents were discussed in his various classes at Columbine High School and that,
"kids would make jokes about how "it was going to happen at Columbine next."  They would say that Columbine was absolutely primed for it, because of the bullying and the hate that were so prevalent at our school."
Little did they know how right they were.
