Personal Narrative On Judgment Day
Why did they do it? Could it have been prevented? For something like columbine to happen there has to be something mentally wrong with the people who did it. You don’t just wake up on a sunny day and say hey let's go shoot up a school. I would say it takes at least a year of planning to plan something of that size. Many times before the actual day of “judgement day” as they called it dylan and eric would be caught stealing and having dangerous weapons by police, teachers, and their own parents. I really don't know how much trouble someone has to get into before they figure out that they are not going to change and only worse things can happen before they get into big trouble, because they never really got into just a lot of trouble like jail time they always got out of it and i think the longest they were grounded was for a month. …show more content…
The only thing eric loved was making fun of stupid people doing stupid things and natural selection. Eric was a psychopath. “Insanity was marked by mental confusion. Eric harris expressed cold, rational calculations. Fuselier ticked off eric's personality traits: charming, callous, cunning, manipulative, comically grandiose, and egocentric, with a appalling failure of empathy. It was like reciting the psychopathy checklist” (cullen 239). Eric killed for two reasons to demonstrate his superiority and to enjoy it. I really think that eric could have been stopped if the police would have taken the brown’s concerns would have been thoroughly investigated by the police when they filed their complaints about his website, and the was more than plenty of evidence to suggest that he was building pipe bombs. The police had a search warrant for eric's home but for some reason it never made it before a judge, and if it would have columbine may have never

As a little girl, I do not know how our finances worked all I knew was many bills were due and I knew it because when I was a little girl I liked to practice reading and those bill statements were the papers that attracted my interest due to its colorful paper.…

    I never thought how interesting it would be to visit a different place of worship besides Christianity. Since the day I was born I’ve been a Christian and whatever anyone else believes in is wrong and that they are going to hell if they don’t believe in Christianity. About 3 years ago I visited the International Buddhist Progress Society a Buddhist temple in Naperville. Buddhism from what I learned looks more like a way of life or guidelines to it rather than a religion. Buddhism tells you how you could live life better but doesn’t scare you with the prospect of hell instead you live with ignorance. My own history with Christianity still made me doubt or fear the conquences of going to this temple. Part of me believed that I be punished by…

    This shooting came with a big question, why did Dylan and Eric decide to do it? Both of these teenagers were intelligent and lived in solid homes. Eric and Dylan worked together, attended the same school, both were active in school play productions, and were computer assistants at their school . In January of 1998 the two boys broke into a electrical equipment van and stole computers (This day was later called “The January Incident”). Eric and Dylan were charged with breaking and entering, mischief, trespassing, and theft. Both left good impressions on the juvenile officers, who offered to discard their criminal records if they attended a diversionary program to include community service, receive psychiatric help, and obey the law. It is believed that The January…

    Eric and Dylan were more than ready for their assault when they arrived at their school at 11:10 a.m. (Rosenburg). They headed straight for the school’s cafeteria with two duffel bags, each one concealing a 20-pound propane bomb (Rosenburg). They set them down by some of the lunch tables and went back out to their cars to wait for an explosion (Rosenburg). Luckily, the bombs didn’t explode for if they did it is estimated that all off the 488 inside the cafeteria would have been killed (Rosenburg). Once they realized the bombs weren’t going to detonate, they decided to go ahead and enter the building anyways (Rosenburg). “Klebold, wearing cargo pants and a black T-shirt with ‘Wrath‘ on the front, was armed with a 9-mm semi-automatic handgun and a 12-gauge double-barrel sawed-off shotgun. Harris, wearing dark-colored pants and a white T-shirt that said ‘Natural Selection,’ was armed with a 9-mm carbine rifle and a 12-gauge pump sawed-off shotgun. Both wore black trench coats to hide the weapons they were carrying and utility belts filled with ammunition. Klebold wore a black glove on his left hand; Harris wore a black glove on his right hand. They also carried knives and had a backpack and a duffel bag full of bombs”(Rosenburg). Not long after the boys entered the school, a couple bombs exploded as a diversion for the cops and at the same time, they open fired by the cafeteria instantly killing Rachel Scott and injuring Richard Castaldo…

    The person I choice to interview this week just like last week is also someone I turn to when I am faced with questions and concerns regarding all of my biblical classes and sometimes just personal spiritual questions. That person is my pastor and my father in law who has been a southern Baptist preacher for over thirty years.
