I just finished reading Dave Cullen’s amazing expose Columbine and I am reeling. I knew when I started reading it that I would be digging into some sensitive areas of my psyche but I had no idea how deep those scabs went and how painful it would be when I hit the live tissue. The first thing I learned reading this book is that I had no fucking clue what really happened at Columbine; I only knew what the media erroneously reported and what became myth had very little to do with reality. The myth of the bullied, video game addicted, death-metal loving, weaklings who huddled together under the shelter of the fabled Trenchcoat Mafia, to target their athletic popular oppressors was, from the beginning, complete and utter bullshit.
