The FBI is hunting for a woman "infatuated with Columbine” (UPDATE: Found dead)
- Thread starter Typhon
- Start date
it's a sad fact that people like Harris and Klebold have been martyred.
and this person is 18, wasn't even alive when the event occurred

It's entirely possible she'll just choose a different populated area.
The caziest part about the story is this:
Let's hope no one dies but if it happens I already know too many people will shrug and say variations of "What can you do?". Well I don't know, maybe make buying guns more difficult than buying a pack of fucking socks.
Yep, and as a reminder for the thread. Harris and Klebold secured many of their guns, the most impactful ones if I remember (need to read Cullen's book again, it's an important one), through the gun show loophole.
it's fucking weird how many people consider the two shooters to be heroes. There was a woman named Lynn Ann who was utterly obsessed with Eric Harris.
I'm hoping this woman is caught before anything seriously horrible happens.
they had a friend buy them if I remember right? the person even got prosecuted and spent time in jail for it
This happens a lot with murderers. Ted Bundy, the Menendez Brothers, Charles Manson, the Boston Marathon bombers, etc all had groupies who were completely infatuated with them and their actions.
I forget what it's called, but I believe there actually is a term in psychology for people who are attracted to murderers/killers.
*edit - Ah, here it is: Hybristophilia, or "Bonnie and Clyde" syndrome.

This is so fucked up. I feel like I am going to vomit.
Hopefully they catch her and nothing actually happens. I hope anyone else reading this in Denver/Littleton stays home and stays safe tomorrow.

I honestly don't know how people can live in the US. It's literally infested with guns, and there's no way to get rid of them.
It's also sad people never gave them both the help they desperately needed and just thought they were both weirdos who shot a school to pieces even now.
Somewhat easily actually, just gotta hope i dont encounter a wild zimmerman or some cop looking to fuck my shit up
What the heck?
Atleast it seems the FBI is on top of things and can stop anything from happening.
Just a mental breakdown that hopefully leads to nothing.
Shes only 18....damn US you crazy.
Also, is this why they always say dont let the media glorify perpetrators of mass shootings because them getting attention may lead to copycats who think they will get attention.
Or people just get obsessed with the shooters.
Picture wasnt in the OP.

It's not the wild west everywhere. I live in New Jersey and I have never seen a gun in the wild that didn't belong to a cop. Gun culture is very different from state to state.

Hell, I live in Nebraska, people around here hunt all the time. Yet I can't think of the last time I saw a gun that wasn't on a cop.
I wonder: if people were more open about the fact that two kids were basically junior nazis, would that lead to fewer people thinking so?
I always have blamed the media exactly for what you said.
Focus on the victims, don't run in-depth background stories of the lives of the scumbags.
I'm not too familiar with Columbine, but I looked for some info. There were 4 guns; a handgun, a shotgun and 2 rilfes, purchased at gun shows as private sales. Their gun range friend was charged with selling that handgun to a minor. The 3 other guns were "gifted" to them by another friend, so not illegal.
The gunshow loophole is really a private gun sales loophole.
Many school around Denver are closed down today because of this. The news is reporting that even if she's caught the best they can hold her for is for investigative questioning. Unless she admits she's out for blood, or some other illegal act, they can't charge her with anything. This is according to ex FBI and ATF agents on CNN.
You may not see them, but they are in bags, cars, and homes. Concealed carry is basically a system to create normality for them by hiding the fact.
This story is so absurd it sounds like farce, yet still our politicians won't do shit about gun control.
She wasn't even alive when Columbine happened. It's crazy how school shooters and serial killers get fanboys/fangirls.
So she already had the FBI's attention but was still able to just casually stroll into a store and buy a gun?
sigh

Actually, our governor is pushing for more gun control. He just signed off on the "red flag" law that keeps guns away from people deemed to be a threat to themselves or others. But yes, that's true federally.
Getting an alert yesterday that my son's daycare was on lockdown because of this scared the hell out of me.
That's good that they're doing things locally. The threats to kids can be scary, my nephew out in the Midwest had his daycare on lockdown too due to a shooting down the street.
Easy. 99.999% of gun owners aren't out to harm anyone. The shootings are tragic, but you're about as likely to get struck by lightning than to be caught in a shooting.
Wild that it's harder to get a passport in America than a fucking pump action shotgun.
Or that you can literally be on the FBIs radar...but still purchase a fucking pump action shotgun.
"Thoughts and prayers"...this fucking country man.
All of the statistics you provided here are made up. Please don't do this.

My point is that there being so many gun owners in the US, along with getting shot isn't a logical fear in terms of being scared to live in the country. And yes, over 99% of gun owners are not out to commit a crime with the weapon. That isn't made up. You are far more likely to get killed in a car crash than get shot. That is not made up.
I'm not trying to downplay gun violence, but the post about how can anyone live in the US was hyperbolic nonsense.
So I am confused, so she is obsessed with the shooters? Like believes in their cause or something?
