Intro

The school doors are flung open, students file out with tears streaming down their cheeks, trembling, struggling to stand. They are met with a swarm of guns pointed in their direction, an all too real and horrifying sight that makes the tears flow faster. A voice echos for them to put their hands in the air. Helicopters circle overhead, as students struggle to find the strength to look up. A swarm of men dressed in black armor surround the building yielding guns. They stand still and wait as the kids, each one a suspect files out. In side, a gun shot rips through the library.The United States of America is the only nation in the world where so many people of the same nation kill one another. It is also home to the record of youngest murderers. On April 20, 1999 a massacre would occur in Littleton, Colorado when two teenage boys would enter their high school with guns, and begin to open fire on their peers.Why is there this surge of violence among the youth in our nation? Where does it stop being a system of blame and a system of action? These are questions where answers, and blame, can be found on hundreds of different variables. However one thing is for certain, everybody has an answer. However the most honest answer may only be found in one place, the killers own words, from there own private and disturbed world. Today the halls of Columbine lay quiet as students pass through them, passing by the libray and cafeteria, walking on gravestones. Life goes on in America, and so does the violence.
