I remember coming home from school that day and just staring at the TV with my jaw slack.
Below is a song I’ve always found touching. It was inspired by Cassie Bernall, who was initially reported to have been asked if she believed in God before being shot, although that has been disputed in the years following the shooting.

that is a pretty clear division among my friends here in CO about what 4/20 means for them.

That event is still so flippin fresh in my mind. I was glued to the TV. I feel so much for those who had to go through all that tragedy.
Typical American anger in definition simplified to this event.

At the time I was managing a gas station in Littleton. The weekend before this happened, one of my young cashiers died suddenly and unexpectedly because of asthma and her funeral was being held while the shooting was going on.
I just remember how stunned everyone was coming into the store that day, it was so surreal.

As the Class of 2000 at a massive high school in NJ that was overly paranoid about everything (except heroin) we became an example school for the state on how to provide a secure property.
We all were given badges to clock in and out of buildings and in some cases, hallways and classrooms (because no one would hold a door for people?) We also had to wear them around our necks, visible, at all times; they had to be over your jacket, shirt, etc.
Meanwhile, at the board meetings, I was scapegoated because I argued that Eric Harris, Dylan Klebold, Mitchell Johnson and Andrew Golden would all have ID badges and the responding police would not.
Truly a strange time to be in High School in America.

I remember turning on the TV after school, and seeing the students hiding and evacuating the school. I can’t believe that was 18 years ago...

We had to wear IDs at my high school in AZ. One smartass blew his up to almost the size of his torso and wore it for a day before they made him take it off. It was amazing. He laminated it and everything.

We had a group make t-shirts that screened their IDs onto the shirt and Put Prisoner #008305 or whatever their student ID number was on the shoulders in the back, bright orange shirts.
The student numbers were 2-digit year, sending school (1-7, or 8 out of district) and then the ordinal number, so I was the 305th person to come from outside of the district in the class of 2000.

i remember that being the year that ,those kids that got pushed around finally snapped and did something about it. wasnt the right thing by any means. it changed the way that a lot of the outcast kids got treated, mostly for the better.....
