Not all the victim's families were enraged and disgusted about it. It was only two families that destroyed the crosses and trees, three is you count Rich Petrone.
If E or D were my child,I would have felt touched and yes I would have wanted them to be represented there. And I don't feel that I would be a horrible person for wanting that. I know at least Dylan's parents wanted his cross there and were hurt when it was destroyed and I don't believe they were in the wrong for that. This has all been many years ago now and some of the parents who were angry enough to do this seemed to have softened a bit in their anger so I don't know what they feel about their actions in doing that today.
They might still feel glad they did it,they might think they could have handled it differently. It could go either way. The lady writing evil bastard on the cross was later arrested herself for assault. Just a little side note. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing. These people really had absolutely no right touching Dylan and Eric's crosses. It was not their property to rip out of the ground, chop up and destroy. I am surprised they got away with doing it.
Also, these fools were in such a huff to hurry up and destroy 2 of the trees planted that they destroyed the wrong damn trees. The trees they chopped all up to shit were not even the ones that represented Dylan and Eric. I can understand why these people wanted to destroy the crosses and trees but I will always wish that they hadn't ,for E and D's families sakes, if nothing else. Kyle's dad even said when they destroyed the trees that "Do we put up memorials for Hitler's Mom and Dad?
I so agree. By comparing the two crosses from the rest, it's a reminder to show that as much as we need to forgive them, we cannot forget what they did. At least that's how I see it. Can we actually see the physical lines that divide one from another? While I see your point, Eric and Dylan were also victims, even if they were the ones who killed themselves, people label them as monsters and yes they did some horrific things but they had families too, parents, brothers.
Imagine if your kid did this, you wouldn't just be like "oh fuck him" you'd still be very sad you lost them and that they were dead. Look at all the pain sue has been through since this happened and im sure eric's parents are going through the same. I think it may of been a bad idea for them to put their crosses next to the victims but Eric and Dylan are missed by friends and family too.
Well said. Eric and Dylan were humans too! Greg Zanis, the cross carpenter, was a huckster who primarily did what he did for attention. Hate to say it, but Cullen laid out a pretty good case against the guy. He promised he'd never do it again and then he did it again. I certainly wouldn't appreciate a shrine to my kid's killer, even if my kid's killer was "a human being too. So the world's unfair, keep it locked out there. In here it's beautiful.
I completely understand the parents who were angry about Eric and Dylan's crosses. But to deface them, write vile things on them, even cross out prayers for their family, was too far in my opinion. If you don't have respect for the dead, even the dead who committed a heinous act, at LEAST have respect for their family and friends who have lost someone themselves. It wasn't the family or friends fault that Eric and Dylan did what they did.
Eric and Dylan wouldn't have given two shits about having crosses at a memorial anyway no matter what was written on it. The crosses were to help the family grieve. The family and friends of Eric and Dylan deserved to grieve their loss.
It's absolutely despicable to me how especially Dylan's parents were treated. Wholeheartedly agree! Sadly they were made to feel guilty for grieving.
As if this one horrible action could wipe away years of love, years of good memories all at once. Because she just wanted the gate to stop.

Yea, No one said anything about wondering why. No ones condoning or saying it was ok. As an adult now though I think they should have been setting an example. Screamingophelia wrote: Yea, No one said anything about wondering why. There was pain all around, grief was felt by ALL that day.
Not only the victim's families. Also I AM one that believes there were 15 victims. Eric and Dylan were victims of themselves just as much as the others were.
SO they can just fight me on that one! ShadowedGoddess wrote: True. Same here. I'll fight them with you. It will be a Columbrawl. Nice knowing that someone would have my back. ShadowedGoddess wrote: miketheratguy Thanks! Me and my rat horde will always have your back! The lowest bar of the symbol is for the Cross of St. Peter, and represents darkness and sin. At school Dylan would bully and make fun of younger students with Eric, but later feel guilty about it.
Closer to NBK, he would think of doing heinous acts like murdering others. In an English assignment, he thinks about being a dark godlike murderer. Even after his death, the battle continues and Dylan remains in the center of it. A church planted 15 trees in memorial for the victims, and two of them were symbolically cut down. People were banning his existence to hell left and right. The worst in people was coming out and was aimed at him.
