I was in school when columbine happened. Before columbine, it was very common for my friends on the playground to scream “I’ll kill you if I catch you” or “I’ll kill you all” whatever in a joking manor before that happened. I remember us saying it all the time.

Then Columbine happened.

It’s sad, but this is the reality we live in.

I’m not saying joking about killing people when you’re kids is right, however I never shot up a school despite being bullied in elementary school and playing many hours of Wolfenstein, Doom, and Quake, and even listening to lots of punk and NIN / Marilyn Manson back then as well.

I think the world is getting less educated and more divided and it sucks.
