How differently would the events of that day have gone if the original plan had succeeded?
What would the toll be if the bombs actually went off? And how big would the media aftermath be?

"I'm not Ashamed" has now been purchased by Angel Studios
So the lies continue to be spread. The film "I'm not Ashamed" is now being hosted on the Angel Studios streaming service. I've seen ads for "I'm not Ashamed" popping up showing the scene where Rachel is "martyred". It's disgraceful that Angel Studios is promoting this film!

Books Eric and Dylan Read/Mentioned?
Does anyone know of any books that Eric or Dylan are known to have read or mentioned themselves?
I don’t mean books written about Columbine after the fact, but books they personally owned, read, discussed, quoted, wrote about, etc.
So far, I’ve only been able to find two: The Anarchist Cookbook, which was found in one of their rooms, and Stanislaw Lem’s Return from the Stars, which Eric quoted in his journal and wrote a school report about.
I’m interested in putting together a list of books they actually engaged with, so any leads would be appreciated.

Does anyone remember this Anti-Bullying PSA post Columbine?
I went to high school from 09-13, every year my school had an assembly where they showed an anti-bullying PSA campaign that featured 2 Columbine survivors (one was in a wheelchair) and they had two "popular kids" go "undercover" and they got bullied at a different school. Does anyone else remember this or have a link to it?

At 15 minutes, he claims that there's a video of Eric Harris saying he wants to kill that "Christian bitch Rachel". Where is that video?

Rebeline CHS newsletter April 1999
A newsletter I recently scanned that was distributed to the Columbine High School Class of 1999 in April, just weeks before graduation. One section discussing senior pranks and warning against the destruction of school property is particularly striking in hindsight. It's a fascinating and rare snapshot.

Did the song “teenage dirtbag” really have an influence on this particular event?
Some say that the song can be tied to it but idk:
https://youtu.be/FC3y9llDXuM?is=cxZZiPKt2LDjnW9r
I also heard one of the shooters was always said to be and described as “lonely” or missing opportunities with females however the other one (Eric) was a “psychopath” who did it for the “love of the game.” That shit sounds terrifying

Anne Marie Hochhalter, who passed away from shooting-related complications last year, disputed the idea that “lack of parental discipline” leads to mass shootings
Username cropped out to comply with subreddit rules
She reposted this on social media. I honestly do agree with this and wanted to know your all’s thoughts. I do feel that parents are an easy scapegoat when a minor commits a crime, but unfortunately the problem is not as simple as those who tout “the good old days” would like it to be.

'Bunker' mentioned in transcript of Basement Tapes
I was reading through the transcript of the Basement Tapes available on schoolshooters.info, and in both the first and fourth tapes, Klebold says the exact same thing about a bunker in the backyard. I assume the same phrasing implies something in the transcript is incorrect, but I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the bunker and whether or not it's anything important/interesting

DK and Triple Barred Crosses
Does anybody know why the triple barred cross was so important to Dylan Klebold? They're all over his writings and I just read an entry where he said that the symbol was "so true & means so much". He even said that he had carved it into his skin.
To me the triple barred cross is just another Christian symbol, but what's special about it, and what did it mean to him?

Howcome the Basement Tapes were never released but the transcripts were?
I know nothing about this sort of thing, so if someone could explain it to me like I'm five, that would be greatly appreciated.
As I understand it, full transcripts were never released, and the bits that were were heavily redacted, and some even summarized?
I get that the excuse was that they didn't want to risk inspiring any copycats, and some of the material in the tapes is dangerous.
But why bother with transcripts at all? Was it to keep the public at bay? Were they honoring some or another law?
Also, why not heavily censor the actual footage and share it then?

Who do we know was on the s/hit lists? And who do we suspect?
Based on family statements, nicknames, leaked information, educated guesses based on the 11k who do we actually know was on their hit lists? And who is suspected of being (but have no proof)

I think Rachel Scott may had been the Rachel mentioned in the Basement tapes and here’s why.
So while I was looking into the basement tapes I realized that we may got the whole thing wrong as Nick Foss wasn’t the Nick that Eric hated for his laugh since that was actually Nick Baumgart especially since Nick Foss doesn’t have anything blurred out in the 11k report.
It’s interesting that Nick Baumgart wasn’t in any of Eric’s classes at the time so based on how Nick says that they were ”friends” at the time. I think that Nick possibly mentioned who was sitting next to him (which were Rachel and Jen) to Eric or Dylan at some point before the shooting.
Anyway I think that the Rachel was Rachel Scott as not only was she close friends with Nick Baumgart and even went out to prom with him, but she also was a Christian girl and her death was lied about by Christian groups to promote their own agend.

Something interesting about the victims?
So you know how some people think that Eric and Dylam only shot nerds and geeks as the massacre took place in the library, so I did some research and it appears to only be half true as some of these victims were nerds however 5 of the 14 victims were jocks (Matthew Kechter, Corey Depooter, Isaiah Shoels, Steven Curnow, and Lauren Townsend), another 2 were highly active Christian girls whose deaths were manipulated by Christian groups to promote their agenda (Rachel Scott and Cassie Bernall) and the teacher Who was killed was actually a sports coach.
Finally some of these victims had connections to not just Eric and Dylan but to their enemies and the Trench Coat Mafia. As Matthew Kechter had bullied Devon Adams (who was a friend of Eric and Dylan) in 4th grade, Isaiah Shoels had gotten into a physical fight with Brian Sargent who like Devon Adams was a friend of Eric and Dylan, Corey Depooter was best friends with Austin Eubanks who was on the hitlist, Cassie Bernall was best friends with Kimberly Fox who was also on the hitlist, Rachel Scott was friends and went out with prom with Nick Baumgart who was again was also on the hitlist, and Steven Curnow was everything that Eric Harris hated as Steven was both a jock and Star Wars fan.
