Your broader point on correlation, yes. I read Columbine. Yes, they had grandiose ideas. They also had a shitload of guns. Tim McVeigh had none. Kleibold and Harris, like every school crazy before and like every school crazy after, wanted to go down in a blaze of glory with their fingers on the trigger. They singled people out. They were very much down with individual killing. Tim McVeigh blew up a building full of people because of what it represented and because that's what he was supposed to do. Tim McVeigh tested his explosives. Klebold & Harris?
