Still chilling a decade after the real massacre
Well-made and one of the saddest things I've ever seen. The scary part remains the relatability of the killers. If I'd had a different environment, different interests and feelings of persecution and hopelessness, maybe I would have met a similarly needless, tragic end and taken others with me. One of the things so many people seem to forget about high school is that it's not a time when anyone is a fully formed individual. In retrospect it's probably why all my teachers in high school were often sad, tired and/or angry. Most of the time they were interacting mostly with people who LITERALLY were "not all the way there," at least not yet. I bet that sometimes it can grate on a teacher the same as if they were a nurse in a psych ward or a rehab clinic. The downside of this state of incompleteness in teen-agers is the judgement-making centers in the brain are NOT fully formed. A big part of why this tragedy happened is this. Don't think there's any science to it? See how many drunk driving fatalities, hell, how many driving fatalities period, there are in the 15-20 age group. Now compare that with any other age group. Developmental biology is not the only piece of the puzzle, but it's a big one. Sorry for rambling. Again, a great, fact-based short.
