i just recieved a message from someone that was honoring the victims of the colombine massacre with a poem. i must say that it was very heart wrenching but it fully places the blame on the boys who had the guns. i know that this is a common view point but i'm afraid that i must disagree. yes, some of the blame should go to them, but we should not forget that they shot themselves aswell. they were outsiders and anyone who has been or is an outsider knows that the, shall we say, "insiders" can be vicious in their teasing and rude comments. i believe that the boys who commited the colombine massacre were provoked. once again, this is not to say that they shouldn't get blamed at all, but i also think that they weren't the only "villains".
