clearly shooped

If the shooting was on April 20 1999 when was that red yearbook put out? Is there anything about them in that one ?

Clearly.
The yearbook was mostly finalized at the time of the shooting. There was an insert that was printed, pics coming.

They've got their photos in there, but no, nothing really of the shooting in the body of the yearbook.

and back a few pages

Not sure why I had two student IDs that year.

ever considered selling this set on ebay? might fetch a decent price

How did you make it out?

Do you believe in God?

Fake and gay

Someone asks me that every year.
Considered selling it? Sure.
Would I ever do it? Unlikely.
Worth more to me than anyone else, since i'm in all of them.

I was one of the first groups out, actually.
Was in the cafeteria at the time, in the armpit of the iconic staircase surveillance cam photo. When the first explosions went off, everyone pushed back towards where I was sitting. One of the janitors opened the doors to the auditorium, chilled in there for a while. One of the stoners that I was sitting by kept saying "this is the craziest 4-20 ever man..." when we were in there.

Eventaully, janitor w/ radio contact to office heard we were clear from the doors we came in, out tthe foreign language hall... group I was with ran out there, across the street ,and itno the park.

My mom kept a ton of papers/etc, highlighted shit from that day. >Pic related.

I went to a high school with the initials chs and I had a student teacher in my geometry class who was at columbine during the shooting. He claimed his girlfriend was shot and killed.

kek, no.
What's kind of funny about that whole thing, what was it ... cassie's challenge or whatever? Us as a class were shielded from a lot of that bullshit.

So we sat out in the park across the street for a bit. We had ran across Pierce just as the first first-responders were arriving, so the road hadn't been barricaded yet.
More groups of students had run out to the park, eventually there was another large explosion, panic, and everyone in the park scattered back into the neighborhood.

I had a paper route in that neighborhood, kind of knew the area. Chance, fate, hand of god, whatever... I knew one house was a police officer's house. Wife had the front door open, was calling everyone in from the street. Stayed there for several hours, watching the news on the small TV in the living room.

Phone lines were hard to get at the time, switch was overloaded... cellphones weren't a thing in '99, so I had to try for a while to get a line to let my parents know I was okay.

Late that afternoon my dad was finally able to get through the traffic jam/barricades and pick me up.

kek, bunch of old post-its from past threads i've done.

Did you finish out the year at Chatham? My long ago ex GF went there but I'm an oldfag so she graduated when they were in middle school.

Rachel's storie.

no u

One thing I remember, image burned into my mind, as I was making the corner around the vending machiens in the cafeteria, between the auditorium and business/specialed/language hallway.... In front of the pepsi machine, a bomb had detonated. Big black mark over two floor tiles, and the bottom of the machine had busted out. Fire alarms were going off. Didn't remember seeing any sprinklers at the time.

Considering the number of high schools across the country, and that there's only 26 letters in teh alphabet, leaves a better than 1/26 chance of having that acronym.

School was ~2000 students, so it's certainly possible.

Did you ever meet the shooters before they did it?

>Chatham
wat

Chatfield.

There was a few weeks while the district figured out what to do with 2000 students who no longer had a school to go to. Students/staff were busy grieving, processing what happened, funerals/remembrances, etc.

Eventually the district decided chatfield students would go in the morning on a shortened schedule, they'd move out and columbine would move in for the afternoon on a shortened schedule.

Not much work got done in general... some teachers wanted to pick up where they left off like nothing happened, others were a lot more laid back and let the students decide how to finish the year.

where the jews involved?

Never personally.
I was a freshman when it happened, they were seniors.
Outside of my class the only group I really associated with was in the band. H&K weren't in the band, so I didn't know them other than another face in the school.

Sorry about the mixup. We broke up like 23 years ago so my memory is a bit hazy. Fuck, OP is actually on the level and not just a morbid collector.

I'm sure they were. 14/88 HAPPY BIRTHDAY HITLER GAS THE KIKES RACE WAR NOW, etc etc.

kek, it's always kind of a weird feeling to me, seeing columbine threads on Sup Forums. Being that close to it, first hand experience and all.
>and here I am, posting a picture of myself on Sup Forums....

how were their names used in the town and in the school after?

why didn't they omit them from the yearbook?

Do you feel traumatized from it or is it just one of those fucked up things that are just part of life? How surreal was it going back for sophomore year?

How are you going to be remembered or want to be? Rampage and suicide by cop?

shit that pic is morbid

Just seeing the goth chick on the photo makes me feel so fucking old....

honestly, how close were you to dying

Not OP, but pretty fucking close had those bombs gone off. Remember this was supposed to be an OKC not a mass shooting.

Hey, faggot OP, you havent answered

I meant by them i.e being shot

...

They were just "the columbine killers". Biggest thing was "15 deaths" or "13 deaths", wanting to keep the two separate from their victims.

But they were still students - no reason to omit the content in the yearbook, and besides, it had already gone to production by the time the shooting happened.

I (and I think most of the students) handled things pretty well - better than the staff/parents did. Innocence of youth, different world view, having peers to work through the trauma with, whatever... My mom took it a lot harder than I did.

Sophomore year, being back in the building (granted after a major overhaul) was a bit of a relief, we're moving on, and a little emotional.

None of the above? I feel like the sports I participate in are what's going to be the end of me.

I'm sure if you really looked into the psychology of things, that event is a reason I carry.

Know any of the victims personally?

Dude in black shirt toward the left above pink shirt girl... why the fuck is he screaming? Also MFW I think I just saw my ex's little sister in your class photo. Parents must have moved because they were off Ken Caryl or whatever it was called and went to the other CHS.

youd still think theyd omit them from the same yearbook as people they killed

Did you know Rachel Scott? What a cash cow she became afterwards

There were a couple of goths, handful of stoners... bunch of jocks, being a college-prep school in middle suburbia. Handful of nerds, I was a band-geek.

Hard to say, really. If the two had shortcutted through the auditorium I don't know that i'd have made it. If their propane bombs had gone off ... again, hard to say with where I was, as far back in the cafeteria as I was.

I've never been in a situation like it since, but I also have a little bit of an advantage should I ever find myself in a similar situation, knowing how I react mentally to that stress.
And the fact that I'm usually armed now.

Hey, faggot user, thxbro

this

do you remember any of the teachers that got shot

i think i saw this thread a couple years ago.
is this you?

anyways, weird.
the Columbine leaks of 2005 are what brought me here. Police pic leaks or something, some security cam leaks, some police evidence pics, some candids that the police gathered from the days before, with shooters caches of arms before the shootings etc.

I heard about leaks, 10 minutes later found out about Sup Forums, and thats what brought me here.

now its the traps that keep me here, j/k

you kept the transcript?

keep going op this is fascinating

Replying to self. Nevermind just looked her up on Facebook. She graduated from the other one.

Not really. None of them were in the band.

My sister was best-friends with the sister of one of the ones killed. They kind of had a falling-out not long afterwards. Their dad is a major anti-gun lobbyist. Fuck that guy.

No, but I kinda knew her brother. He and I were both at the 10-year class reunion.

It was just the one, and no, I didn't know him.

Probably. It's about every other year I do a thread like this on 420 (dude weed lmao).
When I'm bored/drunk/whatever and I see a columbine thread pop up, sometimes I shitpost in those. That's always fun, "yeah i was there", "bullshit", >photos.

I heard about Sup Forums from an IRC channel early in my college career ... >don't forget, you're here forever.

Glad you're enjoying it. I hate what Sup Forums has become lately. Don't be cancer.

nah, i didnt do things like screen caps and shit back then, still dont. i live in the moment when seeing crazy shit. no let this thread go back to OP, I will just mostly lurk like I tend to do

was the school haunted afterwards

Show us a picture of you

why not just use the yearbook pics

I do, mostly the ones I took over. Fun going back over the >TOASTING IN EPIC BREAD posts sometimes.

Columbine and Chatfield were (still are, I guess) the two big ones in the area.

College was nice... I was just another cowboy.
When people would ask where I was from, it was usually just "Colorado".
Then "Where in colorado?" - "Littleton".... that's when you could see their curiosity pique - "like, columbine?" "yea, like columbine."

But most people were fine with just "Colorado".

Not that I noticed. The rebel always kinda creeped me out though.

whats the rebel?

I have a lady friend whose really into this shit. Can you time stamp with "Lillian is a cunt" or something please. If not its cool. But everything is worth a try to impress some pussy.

I had some dad or uncle of one of the victims come to my school and talk for an hour or so a few years ago. Normies were crying and shit, it was terrible. Is there any immediately noticable lasting effects on the school/community? Columbine jokes are already really annoying, do the kids there make them more often or is it a sensitive subject?

so did school just start as normal next school year? did anyone mention what happened the next school year and on the 10th anniversary?

what did you do that night

Big life-size doll/mannequin in the main hallway.
>Pic from my 10-year class reunion

Nah, this is more of an "ama" than /r/.

Like I said in , as a class we were insulated from a lot of that aftermath/fallout bullshit, "plz no bully", "b friends lol" unicorns-and-rainbows nonsense.
As a class, we bonded pretty tight after that. We had just been through a major, world-wide broadcast event that would change history.... we didn't really need that preachy shit. It was kind of weird how much we were forced to mature.

As far as the community goes ... Today, it's been long enough there really isn't much mention of it anymore. There's the "Columbine memorial ---->" signs outside clement park, I ride by the school every now and then (still live in the area). About all you'll see now is a quick news story "remembering the 13" on evening local news. Usually some remembrance events at the memorial today. I didn't go.

I didn't think it was morbid. Ironic maybe, but after what OP said it makes sense it's like an talisman in the photo.

was their ever a trenchcoat clique again after this? I mean, that stupidfuckery still exists fashion-wise, but now those same types of guys switched to fedoras, I guess

Interesting. Thank you, anonymous. See you next year.

was the statue there during the shooting

this

Indeed, thanks for sharing OP. If anything you prompted me to look up an ex girlfriend and I have never actually done that. Goodnight Sup Forums

More or less, yeah. Library was still under construction, but the building/atrium had been gone through and restored/cleaned up.

By that time, most people had gotten over the grieving and just wanted to move on. New class of freshmen moving in, hard to say but I'd imagine they felt a little "outside the group" talkign with upperclassmen. My senior year graduation was the last of those "that had been there" besides the staff, so that was kind of tough for teachers/admin.

10th anniversary was a little bit of fanfare, lots of reunions/memorials.
I know I have a newspaper clipping from the "10 year" event, but I'm not sure where it is. I'll keep looking. It's somewher ein here... .

could you wear a ttrenchcoat in columbine after?

Woah... "we remember user for being ok at sports" Real cool bro.

hahaha

what did you do that night

how much of a change was there between the old/new school

Wait. I can't sleep. You never told me what the fuck the guy in black above the girl with the pink shirt near the base of your magazine is screaming about.

Not a whole lot, actually.
When my dad came and picked me up, it was pretty much straight home and kept watching events unfold on TV. I think we had spaghetti for dinner.
Lots of hugs from the family, and just time to decompress and process what had happened.

Phone lines were tough to get for a few days, and with dialup at the time email/internet wasn't really an option either. Over the next few days there was a lot of calls from family/friends making sure I was okay.

Trenchcoats were b& after that. If it existed, it certainly wasn't the same as it was "before".

Yes. It's a survivor as well.

Found 'em. They were after the senior class graduation. Might not have them from the 10-year.

I cant see it

not op

was it was BIG as it was made out to be.


I mean shit it was huge for everyone not at the school. but sorta just feels like yeah just another graduating class with a few kids that died that year.

when was the first inkling you had of what was going on?

what first alerted you to shit going down? did you manage to grab someones tit as people piled your way?

Third row. Left side. Looking closer maybe that's just the SPED class?

when you heard it was eric / dylan were you like. oh that makes sense ?

...

op here, someone farted

Were you a scout? I haven't really read much on the topic, but the shooters weren't scouts were they?

what were eric and dylans friends/aquaintences like after?

see Cafeteria/library was the biggest change, structurally. >pic related
Classrooms were mostly unchanged, but the fire alarm sirens were all replaced (>muh ptsd), new paint in the halls...

During the time we were at Chatfield, students all made some tiles. The idea was to have all the hallways with a row of tiles the graduating students '99-02 did. There were bullshit special-snowflake, "Religion doesn't belong in the schools!" so rather than separate out tiles that had any "religious" symbology (I'm sure the word you were looking for was "symbolism." What is the ssss-himbolism there?), they just said "we're not doing the tile thing anymore, what's up there is going to stay but nothing new is going up".

wat.jpg

It was a big thing. Sort of a "holy shit even rich white suburbia isn't immune from this kind of violence" thing. Guess I didn't really get the magnitude of it for a month or two.

While we were at Chatfield, there was a row of tables in teh common area for donated stuff.
These tables were overflowing. Backpacks, markers, highlighters, notebooks, pens/pencils, calculators, paper, binders/folders, all sorts of office/school supplies donated from all over the world.

Lots of sympathy cards on the wall as well, probably not unlike what deployed soldiers get from schools today.

Huge puff of white-gray smoke outside. Being a freshman I really didn't know the whole "senior prank" thing, like was this normal? When everyone in teh main part of the cafeteria rushed back towards where I was, I knew this wasn't what a senior prank was... but I didn't know how big it was at the time either. Survival instinct kicks in.

Didn't really know them, so no.

Tiger to Eagle. I don't think they were. Definitely not in my pack/troop.

but cell phones were a thing in 99. One was a big piece of evidence in the "Serial" trial. Howany people actually had them? Or were they just not a thing in Colorado yet?

Where were you when the shooting happened? Did you hear gunshots? Did you hide and where did you hide? How was the evacuation carried out?

cOLOMBINE WAS A FALSE FLAG OPERATION FAKED BY THE CIA

LOOK INTO THE RACE OF THE BABIES FOR MORE EVIDENCE AND

in the videos everyone sorta hides under tables before some teacher in a white shirt ushers everyone out where you were sitting, do you remember this?

link to webm

Dude imagine sitting 12 kids in a room, and then imagine their entire lives. Think about how many years that is, taken away by two stupid fucking cunts.

bump

sad truth.

Why didn't you join them, you fucking nigger?

it's too bad OP got trolled out of the thread. I would have liked to have had an answer. Thanks for sharing OP.

Well, sure, they "were a thing", but nothing like what you're used to seeing today.

Maybe 1 in 20 students had one. And we're talking those old-ass Nokias, with the black/white dot-matrix screen that played Snake ... Texting wasn't even popular at the time.

My connection to the internet at the time was a 56k modem. Did have "broadband" at school, but its use was highly supervised. Whitehouse.com was a porn site back then....

I was sitting on the concrete bench in the elbow of the stairs seen in the surveillance cam photo everyone's seen. From there, I ran back behind the stairs and into the lower doors of the cafeteria.

Thought I had a better pic ... might have been on my old phone.

kek that's a new one.

Maybe? Don't htink I've seen that video ... but yes, hiding under tables was a thing. Some staff were helping/guiding the mob of students in the cafeteria, but even they didn't know what was going on.

Pretty much.

Did you know Steven Curnow? I played soccer with that kid in middle school. He was one of the kidz who died

...

so this is the stairs that leads to the cafeteria in the video?

Still around, just looking through old photos and totes full of shit from my school days.
>lol elementary school sex ed

Kinda, but again, not really "friends", just classmates. Knew him better than some of the others.

I'm pretty sure if Sup Forums was a thing in those days, the two of them would have been on here.

Yup.
Behind me in that photo are windows that overlook the cafeteria. Prior to that, it was the entrance to the library.

The Rebel's seen some shit, man.

You have terrible handwriting lol. Is it still that bad?

so that cafeteria isn't the original cafeteria?

>Behind me in that photo are windows that overlook the cafeteria. Prior to that, it was the entrance to the library.

Hah, yea, I guess you could say that.
Don't know why it always creeped me out, but the idea of it being there never sat well with me.

damn, those are legit. Most of hte other ones i've seen weren't.
- 10sec into that webm, that's the first rush of people. I was just on the lower left of the frame. Fucking a.... first time i've seen that footage.

I agree, the thing creeps me out too and I'm just seeing a picture of it, couldn't imagine seeing it in person every day. Odd thing to keep there.

how did it feel watching back that footage?
