The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 5th study session on Dave Cullen's COLUMBINE. The April 20th, 1999 Colorado High School shooting resulted in 15 casualties - including the two White shooters. Eric "Rebel" Harris and Dylan "VODKA" Klebold used firearms and bombs to slaughter their classmates before taking their own lives. This massacre inspired school shootings around the world, changed law enforcement's rules of engagement, and remains one of the most significant events of the last 30 years. Harris and Klebold were allegedly fascinated with Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. They carried out the attack on Hitler's birthday and a mere 4 years after Timothy McVeigh's bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building - which was on April 19th, 1995. The White teen duo apparently had contact with enforcement officers well in advance of the shooting. Last week, we learned more details about the police response to the carnage. Local officials lied about going inside the school within a half hour of the first call. Actually, it took closer to an hour for police enter the school. The Klebolds describe the funeral service for Dylan. Out of fear that his grave site would be vandalized, they had his remains cremated. Apparently, the Harris family employed a No Snitch policy about their "homegoing" services for Eric. We also heard graphic details about teacher David Sanders last moments before perishing. If Police had entered sooner, he may have survived. #SayAPrayerForTheYouthOfAmerica #TheGreatEqualizer #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
