very entertaining

I don't know if that's what you wanted, but that was your end result...I kept watching...I knew how the event occured, but the plot and objectives transitioned very fluidly. I'm impressed. I didn't really like the style of animation at first, but after the second minut or so, I got so used to it, that I couldn't imagine it any other way. Very deep and acurate...though, I think you might put too much blame in the movie Natural Born Killers...while it was certainly inspirational for the young men, I doubt that the movie itself would cause such a lapse in reasoning. The youths were very disturbed...you showed that well in the bathroom scene when Alex gets beaten. All in all, I truly love the work you made here, bravo.

not a whole lot of remorse

people fuck with others. human nature.
I dont back what the kids did. But i find it ignorant how people blame the teenagers completely.
being picked on and screwed with for a long period of time can fuck with you psychologically. i know because it almost happened to me. not that i would do anything that extreme.
people should focus on all aspects of it and try and actually do something to prevent that in schools instead of just brushing it off.

powerfull.....

....just powerfull. Thank you for this beautifull flash. I am glad you did some research before you started. (the small things like the poster, points for that) I was truly moved by your flash. It showed (me atleast) that these were everyday kids. That they were not 100% evil like the media let them to be. That they were angry and they viewed that this was the only way to fix things. Thank you again.
5/5

Things Happen

you must realize that when you snap you dont exactly control yourself when you snap your brain and body act according to its wants and strongest desires in this case revenge for being treated like crap and the worst part about snapping is that all you can do is watch as your bady acts out according to your strongest desire even if it is the want for death. All i can say is this stuff happens not everyone is mentally tough and people dont make it any easier by teasing, picking on, and or otherwise bullying other people and going crazy isnt always the first step either some people turn to drugs and to alchohol and later on become convicts just remember that the kids you push today are the next generations wave of crime in every form from wife battering to vandalism, and remember just because you are bigger or smarter or even more talented in something than someone else or look better its no reason to pick on someone else because they dont look, act, or think like you.

Nice style

I aint gonna go all sentimental about it, so it had a nice style, pretty good animation to it, consistent art, the only downside was the voice acting (which amateur flash artists usually can't get ahold of, so it's not meant as an insult). Correct me if I'm wrong, but based on the art of the car, the hallways, and the schoolyard, was part of the visualization based on Gus Van Sant's low budget film "Elephant" (which was the same as your flash, a reinactment of the day of the Columbine killings)? Of course the school is an actual place and not a drawn out idea, but some of the angles and the lack of music and the colors that you guys used were alot like the camerawork in "Elephant" (I'm interested in cinematography, in case I sound particular). If you did use it as an influence, then bravo on a good job making a flash that plays through very well, and if not, then bravo just as much. The elephant thing is basically all I was curious about, so kudos on the flash.
