I was in high school (at one of the biggest high school campuses in Michigan) when that happened, and I recently had a conversation about Columbine and how it still feels so recent. I remember how fearful everyone was of that happening here, despite staff trying to calm everyone. The atmosphere was heavy for a long time, and I remember some students were targeted for more bullying as the unfounded fears intensified (students who wore trenchcoats, boots, and other clothes out of the norm were especially targeted, for example). We felt the transformation of the high school experience pre-Columbine vs. post-Columbine.

It was a big deal. Both the OKC bombing and Columbine were. Wild time to be in high school, and Columbine laid the groundwork for the shootings of today without a doubt. Those two terrorists in both incidents fucked all of our lives up.

The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
