Yes Dylan and Eric’s parents should have gone to jail. Rachel was a kind girl. She shown kindness to everyone. They stuff that those two boys did was terrible and that is something the parents should have talked to them. In Rachel’s code of ethics she wrote is to be kind to people. She showed love to everyone. They kids who pulled off the shootings were 17 the shooting was on April 20, 1999. It was at combine high school. Yes the parent of Dylan and Eric should go to jail. It was there fault sort of because they should have been more envied.
Dylan and Eric killed a bunch of kids. They first kid they killed was Rachel. They also had killed was her brothers 2 friends. Their parents had known that something was going to happen. But they did nothing.
The first myth about Columbine is that Eric and Dylan were outcasts. In fact, they boys acted like normal people. They attended school events and talked to people like normal human beings. They blended in with the rest of the school, which didn’t strike an alarm that soon enough these boys would be a part of a terrible shooting. Although people were wrong about the boys being outcasts, they were right that something was wrong in their head. Unfortunately, they spotted this too late, Eric and Dylan thought they were better than everyone else. While the rest of the world thought they were a little
day two seniors Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris carried out a full blown assault on the school during school hours with hundreds of kids and teachers present” (Levy, 1999). These two had a plan to kill as many people as they possibly could. They had multiple guns and explosives as they patrolled the halls looking for their victims. By the time the situation was resolved they had murdered 12 students and 1 teacher before they killed themselves.
Dressed in trench coats Eric and Dylan went to Columbine High School, of which they attended with intent to blow the whole place up. Mimicking the Oklahoma shootings in 1995. After placing the bombs throughout the school, they went to their cars to wait for the explosions. Neither Eric or Dylan were knowledgeable when it came to wiring explosives so they did not detonate. It was then they armed up and started the massacre at Columbine High on April 20, 1999. They would go on to kill 13 people, and wounding over 20 people; as well as, spraying bullets as they walked through the halls, no remorse or hesitation just complete anililation. Wanting to surpass the worlds mass murders status. Pupils and and teachers alike locking themselves in closets
On Tuesday, April 20 1999, Columbine High School located in Columbine Colorado an unfortunate massacre happened and many teens lost their lives. The two students responsible for this incident were Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. These two senior students were responsible for killing twelve students and one teacher; they were also responsible for injuring an additional twenty one students on their rampage. A few other students were injured while trying to escape the school. Columbine is considered the fourth deadliest school massacre in history. It was said to be that there was not one target but everyone was a target on Eric and Dylan’s rampage through the high school
Overall I found it to be a very interesting experience to go through the steps of the murder case. I could almost put myself in Katrina’s shoes that night when her life was tragically ended unfortunately. Tomahl Cook is serving a life sentence in prison which he absolutely deserves, but none the less I think he should have got the death penalty. I feel if any human being abducts somebody and murders them should have their own life taken away from them. I think this is the proper way justice should be served. A poor innocent girl on February 14. 1998 was murdered in such a painful matter for the purpose of sexual intent from a cruel and
Both slaughters were horrific. Both senseless. The murder described in “In Cold Blood” by Truman Capote shocked the world. Hardworking people – like the Clutter family – and in small towns – similar to Holcomb, Kansas – they were the simplest of people, and they just did not get slaughtered for no reason. The shooting at Columbine was similar to this in that there was no actual reason for the mass murder of fourteen innocent lives. The shooters were bullied, but can we say that is an excuse for the crime? No, of course not. The shooting at Columbine also stunned the world, it also ripped out the heart of every man, woman, and children. The world stopped. Things like this were not supposed to happen. Children – whether they be in elementary school or college – should never feel unsafe and unprotected as they did on the day of the shooting. Just as small town families that had little to do with anything of grave importance, they suddenly felt vulnerable. They began to imagine, “That murdered family could have been us, they were just like us.” People in colleges at the time of Columbine began to think, “Kids are bullied here too, what says that they won’t snap just like at Columbine? Are we safe?”
Lawsuits are running rampant at this point in time due to the actions of Dylan and Eric. There are people dead, people severely hurt, and people who are fine. There are grieving family members, which are all in the hands of Eric and Dylan.
It’s difficult to believe that two high school students could enter their school and begin firing on classmates, but that’s exactly what happened at Columbine. The country was riveted by the news that something so evil could happen by two of their own. Columbine High School, located in Littleton, Colorado, had an enrollment of 1,136 in April 1999. Eric Harris (seventeen) and Dylan Klebold (eighteen) entered Columbine High School on April 19, 1999, at approximately 11:19 AM and began shooting. Due to Klebold and Harris being bullied, the two boys planned an attack to shoot students and staff.
Like Perry, Dylan was shy and not outgoing. In the book Columbine, when Eric and Dylan broke into the van and stole things, Eric was the one who talked Dylan into helping him, just like he talked him into helping him with the Columbine massacre. Dick Hickcok and Eric Harris are both murderers. They took lives from the innocent. The Clutter family didn’t do anything that made them deserve to die.
Why did Eric and Dylan do it? What made the two even consider the columbine massacre? Dylan Klebold was a depressant. He felt as if people in the school had left him out, as if he wasn't important enough for them. Dylan killed because he was in the state of mind that he did not matter to anyone or anything, as if he was useless and he wanted attention for once. He had succeeded at getting his attention. Dylan was hotheaded, but depressive and suicidal. Dylan would have never pulled off the Columbine massacre without Eric.
If Robyn hadn’t bought the guns for them; Dylan and Eric might of not been able to get their hands on other guns. Or if Robyn would have told someone about her suspicious thoughts about the guns; the police might have looked into and found their notes plotting to blow up the school. The boys then would have been arrested and the massacre would have never happened. Cullen shows through the characterization of Robyn Anderson, the importance of addressing suspicions and how it could have completely changed the fetal
On April 20th of the year 1999, two high school students, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, went armed into Columbine High School with guns, knives, and a multitude of bombs. The result was the slaughter of twelve students and one teacher. The gunners also turned the guns
One of the most horrific shootings that scared America was the Columbine High School shooting of 1999. Though not the first mass shooting, this shooting was the first major school shooting with the death of 12 students, 1 teacher, and 21 injured. The two shooters were Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris. Both of the killers were white, male, and 18. They had both parents, were both a part of an
Erik Jensen and Nathan Ybanez were both sentenced to life in prison without parole after being charged with felony murder in regards to the death of Nathan’s mother, Julie Ybanez. However, many people believe this sentencing to be too harsh due to the ages of the boys (who were 16 and 17). Many people also believe that Erik Jensen shouldn’t have been given life without parole even if he was an adult because it was never proven that he was involved with the murder, only tampering with evidence, as he helped Ybanez clean up the crime scene and remove Julie Ybanez’s body. Others believe Erik played an equal part of the murder, because he never attempted to intervene, his fingerprints were on the murder weapon, and his knees were covered in Mrs. Ybanez’s blood.
Once again I'm going off only the text and going to try to stay away from what was in the media. Yes the individual shooter should have been charged with a crime. My first thought for the charge was murder. In order for it to be a murder crime, actus rea and men reus must be joined in time. The actus rea in this incident was the confronting, shooting, and killing of the suspicious individual walking in a neighbourhood. That's the easy part to prove unlike the men reus.
