Das Massaker von Littleton jährt sich am 20. April zum 10 mal. Der Vorfall wird gerne zitiert und gilt als Vorzeigefall für den Typ gemobbter Computerspieler der durchdreht. USA Today hat den Fall anlässlich des Jahrestages erneut beleuchtet.

10 years later, the real story behind Columbine

The two teenagers who killed 13 people and themselves at suburban Denver’s Columbine High School 10 years ago next week weren’t in the “Trenchcoat Mafia,” disaffected videogamers who wore cowboy dusters. The killings ignited a national debate over bullying, but the record now shows Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold hadn’t been bullied — in fact, they had bragged in diaries about picking on freshmen and “fags.” (…)
“These are not ordinary kids who were bullied into retaliation,” psychologist Peter Langman writes in his new book, Why Kids Kill: Inside the Minds of School Shooters. “These are not ordinary kids who played too many video games. These are not ordinary kids who just wanted to be famous. These are simply not ordinary kids. These are kids with serious psychological problems.“
