itscolumbine: THE WEIRD COINCIDENCES AND SIGNS OF COLUMBINE 1. In her book A Mother’s Reckoning: Living in the Aftermath of Tragedy, Sue Klebold describes a dark feeling she had shortly after Dylan was born. “I experienced a deep and unsettling sense of foreboding, strong enough to make me shiver… I was overcome by a strong premonition: this could would bring me a terrible sorrow.” Sadly, her motherly premonition turned out to be true. 2. About two weeks before the massacre at his high school, Daniel Mauser asked his father Tom about gun control over dinner. It was the first time Daniel and Tom had ever discussed gun control. “Dad, did you know there were loopholes in the Brady Bill?” Tom did not know, and the conversation was over. Daniel would end up being shot and killed with a gun purchased through a loophole in the Brady Bill. 3. Both Harris and Klebold were big fans of the German industrial band KMFDM. The band’s album Adios was released 4/20/99. Harris took note of this coincidence in his journal, “Heh, get this. KMFDM’s new album is entitled “Adios” and it’s release date is in April. how fuckin appropriate, a subliminal final “Adios” tribute to Reb and Vodka. thanks KMFDM… I ripped the hell outa the system.” The T-shirt released with the album cover on the front said “Destroy What Destroys You” on the back, a morbidly fitting saying for what took place that day. 4. On 4/20/99, all TVs in Columbine broadcasted the phrase “Today’s going to be a bad day” during the morning announcements. The date was put under the quote differently than usual. Instead of it reading “April 20th, 1999″ it was “4/20″ which students at the time saw as a marijuana joke. Eric Viek, a friend of Harris and Klebold, helped run the Rebel News Network and it is suspected he messed with the quote. Viek would later state he changed the quote to “How could you expect us to stay in school on a day like this?” as a joke about wanting to graduate. Many students remember seeing several different phrases throughout the morning before the massacre began. 5. The first victim of the massacre, Rachel Scott, was writing in her diary during lunch. She wrote in her diary often, and in May of 1998 she wrote, “This will be my last year Lord. I have gotten what I can. Thank you.” Rachel’s family and friends remember her saying similar things to this, like that she was going to “die young”. Sadly, Rachel Scott did die within a year of that journal entry at the young age of 17. 6. Harris and Klebold talked about their attack in The Basement Tapes, where they would say they had no choice in what they were about to do, and that the massacre had to happen as if it was fated. Klebold constantly talked about fate in his journal, one time stating “fate is my only master.” When they signed each others yearbooks, Harris poses the question“Do you believe in fate?” to Klebold. The two thought about the concept of fate, and related it to their massacre often. -- source link
