Evidence Ignored

Eric Harris was a psycopathic narcissist and Dylan Klebold his depressed and suicidal follower, manipulated into participating in a full scale assault on Columbine High School. For years this has been the universally accepted narrative of the Columbine tragedy. It makes it easier to deal with, doesn’t it? When you can’t understand something, when it frightens you and you want to distance yourself from it just put a label on it, wrap it in a nice neat box and convince yourself that sometimes evil is just evil. After all, you can’t fix a psychopath, right? What happened, though tragic, was pretty inevitable. Harris was going to kill no matter what, no need for any of us to share in any blame for what happened.
