Klebold may not know what she knows:

This is an article from journalist and author Jeff Kass. He covered Columbine at the time it happened and write the book Columbine: A True Crime Story. This article is his reaction to Susan Klebold’s essay for O Magazine.

Let me share a couple of quotes with you…

But one Klebold writing I have yet to fathom occurred over one year before Columbine when Eric and Dylan were busted for breaking into a van and sent to a juvenile diversion program. Their parents were required to fill out a questionnaire, and it is unclear which parent actually wrote the answers, but the writing for Dylan’s parents appears feminine. When asked about their son the Klebolds wrote: “Dylan is introverted and has grown up isolated from those who are different in age, culture or other factors. He is often angry or sullen, and behaviors seem disrespectful to others. He seems intolerant of those in authority and intolerant of others.” The parent then crossed out the phrase, “He seems intolerant of those in authority.”

On the day of Columbine police swarmed the Klebold and Harris houses. Among them was Lakewood officer Rollie Inskeep, who spoke with the Klebolds. “When asked about guns or explosives, she (Susan Klebold) stated that Dylan has always been fascinated by explosives and guns,” Inskeep wrote in his report. “She stated that Dylan wore combat-looking boots and that he liked the look that he had established.” Then, a familiar twist. “She then recanted her previous statement,” Inskeep added, “and stated that Dylan did not really talk about explosives and guns but he just likes to have the look of the trench coat and boots.”

And what did the Klebolds do about his ordinance fixation or his anger or his intolerance? Obviously nothing. Instead, they just keep making excuses for their mass murderer of a son and themselves.

Like I’ve been saying for the past 10 years, Columbine was probably the most preventable tragedy in the history of this country and all it would have taken to prevent it was actual parents and not self-involved people with a ‘not my kid’ complex.
