It is interesting, yet tiresome and irritating, that outsiders have so much to say and those of us who live here and had children in the school that day, don't seem to find it tabloid and newsworthy. It was and is our life and the lives of our children. I do have a friend who works for a police department in another state and they were told by a representative from Homeland Security that they expect mass attacks this year on American schools (soft targets). I don't know what was learned from the incident at our school that can be applied to foreign terrorist attacks, but I am certain that Columbine got off easy compared to what those attacks will bring. Heaven help us! It’s funny how so many who weren’t even a part of the immediate Columbine High School community have an opinion or ‘the final word’ on what happened and what kind of community we are.
