Through the 13 years since Columbine, there has been many controversies and blames for the massacre. No one’s really sure who’s all to blame for the tragedy. They’ve said Marilyn Manson, KMFDM (Keine Mehreit Fur Die Mitleid), and Rammstein. Also such movies as Natural Born Killers. But who’s fault is it?
The media has blamed music that Eric and Dylan listened to, for the massacre. One of the main being KMFDM. Because the boys quoted them numerous times in their journals. A favorite song of Eric’s being ‘Stray Bullet’ from the album ‘Symbols.’ ‘Stray Bullet, ready or not, I’m the illegitimate son of God.’ Eric and Dylan thought they were Godlike. Because they would decide who lived during the massacre, and who didn’t. KMFDM made a statement saying That they are saddened by the events of that day, but they had nothing to do with the massacre. KMFDM released their album ‘Adios’ on the day of the massacre, oddly enough.
Another blame for the shootings was the movie Natural Born Killers. A favorite movie or Eric and Dylan’s. Eric related everything to NBK somehow. It was something he loved.
Doom, also. DOOM is a computer game from the 90’s that Eric enjoyed playing. People say it gave him ‘a blood lust.’ In DOOM, you’re a marine who kills monsters and people with a shotgun, pistol, rocket launcher, etc. Eric applied for the Marines, like his father. But was declined for the levels of Luvox in his system.
When you think about it, there isn’t really one true blame.
