Gee, with folks like this, how in the world did Dylan Klebold turn into a mass murderer?

The parents of Dylan Klebold, one of the two killers of Columbine High School were interviewed by David Brooks in the New York Times. What they said speaks volumes about why their son was able to do this and what sort of world we live in. Here are a few choice quotes…

>>>The couple took issue with people who say they forgive them for what happened. "I haven't done anything for which I need forgiveness," Susan Klebold said. <<<

Theological issues aside, they refuse to accept even the slightest responsibility for what happened. Unbelievable. Well not really, they are more like many parents than we care to believe.

>>>"He was hopeless. We didn't realize it until after the end," Tom Klebold said. <<<

No child is hopeless, but with parents that clearly have no clue what responsibility is they were pretty close.

>>> "I think he suffered horribly before he died," Susan Klebold said. "For not seeing that, I will never forgive myself." <<<

HE suffered horribly? What about the children who never went home that day, murdered by your son? Asking if anyone was a follower of Christ and then shooting those people. Gunning some down and not others. What of the horrors suffered by those killed, those who witnessed it and their families?

>>>The couple said they felt under siege after the shooting and never had a chance to grieve for their son. <<<

Again, waaah! No concern for others, the poor dears raised a psychopath mass murderer and THEY are the ones who were victimized!

>>> Tom Klebold said they hope to understand someday why the shooting happened.
"We're not qualified to sort this out. People need to understand this could have happened to them," he said. <<<

Not qualified? You are parents, none of us are qualified but we try our best to do what is right, not throw our hands up in hopelessness. Not my fault!

>>>The Klebolds said their son was set off by the "toxic culture" of the school, where athletes were worshipped and bullying was tolerated. <<<

Like every other school in American history? Truth hurts but kids have ALWAYS been bullied at school. The difference is other kids didn’t take it upon themselves to gun down schoolmates at random. It wasn’t just athletes they killed; they killed people just for being Christians.

What a narcissistic couple of people! No concern for those who were killed, no clue that maybe they should look introspectively into whether their parenting had anything to do with their child murdering his classmates in cold blood.

I feel confidant that Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are reaping what they have sown in the fires of Hell.
