Jaguars Guy is near the center of that pic. Details here.

[–]Kozbot 46 points47 points ago

dude holy shit

[–]PaulaDeensDildo 26 points27 points ago

Why isn't this information in the hall of fame of everything ever?

[–]Zyxos 6 points7 points ago

Holy nippleshit...

[–]FrisianDude 6 points7 points ago

...woah.

[–]Silasco 2 points3 points ago

Good find. Thanks for linking!. As a Jags fan i have the same reactions as that guy sometimes

[–]Lost216 3 points4 points ago

I'd never heard of him before.

[–]medioxcore 3 points4 points ago

i've never seen the word "meme" so repeatedly misused.

[–]SirSandGoblin 6 points7 points ago

i'm not convinced you know what meme means

[–]JayTrain 1 point2 points ago

How should it be used then?

[–]Your_Post_Is_Metal 1 point2 points ago

So weird that I went to check and as soon as I clicked zoom, BOOM, his face.

[–]MrSm1lez 63 points64 points ago

The third guy holding a fake gun pose probably feels like such a dick

[–]pixelguru 14 points15 points ago

I count 4 guys pointing their gun hands at the camera. Only two were involved in the Columbine shooting, so what's up with the other two?

[–]MrSm1lez 30 points31 points ago

I'm assuming they meet up regularly to sit around feeling like assholes.

[–]Swazi 9 points10 points ago

I think the guy on the left with what looks like a cigarette behind his ear is Brooks Brown. He yelled at Eric literally right before the shooting began in the parking lot for skipping class. Eric simply said "I like you now Brooks, go home". Eric a year prior to this made internet blogs fantasizing to kill Brooks.

[–]Wakii 0 points1 point ago

Oh... I thought this was about the guy that looks like Ozzy.....

[–]Dominoes282 27 points28 points ago

ZOOM! ENHANCE! Were those the shooters?

[–]bushwickbill[S] 39 points40 points ago

Yea, the one wearing the KMFDM hat is Eric, and the guy to his left wearing the sunglasses is Dylan.

[–]stinkypyper 17 points18 points ago

They seem to have friends, and chicks who have their arms around them. I thought they were supposed to be really big outcasts.

[–]OperatorMike 29 points30 points ago

No they weren't, and they weren't really bullied either

[–]Nightmaru 30 points31 points ago

So it WAS the Video Games!

[–]TreAwayDeuce 13 points14 points ago

Nope, twas the Marilyn Manson. Definitely the Marilyn Manson.

[–]KiMazing 0 points1 point ago

Reading a book by Dave Cullen that discredits this idea. It's a great book that sets aside what the media portrayed them to be.

[–]merpes 13 points14 points ago

That was just the phoney spin the media put on it to give an easily understood story to people.

[–]AKA_Squanchy 12 points13 points ago

Who are the other two?

[–]GalumpingAlong 27 points28 points ago

Target practice

[–]alexNeso 4 points5 points ago

That trenchcoat mafia shit?

[–]el3kt2ik 10 points11 points ago

I love KMFDM.

[–]NextDayAir 3 points4 points ago

what about the guys holding the crutches like guns? were they involved in it too?

[–]imliterallydyinghere 0 points1 point ago

Do you know who the girl is that is Dylan is having is arm around? And who are the other guys that are posing as if they were shooting?

[–]KiMazing 3 points4 points ago

The girl might be the one that supplies them with guns. I think her name is robin. She took them to a gun show because she was 18 and the boys were only 17 and bought 3 guns for them

[–]L_Duo 1 point2 points ago

friends.

[–]biggumsthunder 61 points62 points ago

I dont see these pumped-up kicks everyone was talking about

[–]Wolf_Father 4 points5 points ago

I don't see Jeremy anywhere

[–]MisterDonkey 64 points65 points ago

We didn't see it coming.

-Administration/Parents/Counselors/Peers

[–]stefeyboy 35 points36 points ago

They totally saw it coming, it's just that no one acted. both of them were arrested multiple time before the shooting. Eric was the mastermind and his mother thought he walked on water and wasn't capable of doing anything remotely evil. Eric's dad tried to get her to see the light, but she wouldn't acknowledge it.

[–]superfuzzy 33 points34 points ago

They were arrested once, for breaking into a van.

It was hard to see it with Eric because he was quite unemotional, signs of sociopathy. Dylan was an angry, depressed kid. They should have seen it coming with him.

Watch Columbine: The Final Report. Debunks lots of myths, like how everyone thought they were bullied, and were fighting back. Not so, they both had lots of friends and were not bullied.

[–]Lurker0001 17 points18 points ago

Let's say hypothetically I cannot watch Columbine: The Final Report. Care to summarize any other important debunked myths?

[–]superfuzzy 4 points5 points ago

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Vh_Cq7h_gI

Theres part 1 of 5 parts, in a row, on teh utubes.

[–]panda_nectar 43 points44 points ago

Let's say hypothetically I am too lazy to watch Columbine: The Final Report. Care to summarize any other important debunked myths?

[–]charlie_conway 4 points5 points ago

I like the way you think.

[–]Victorious_Oppositio 2 points3 points ago

I haven't seen it in a few years, but, Eric Harris was probably a sociopath and Dylan Klebold was a sad, angry kid.

When I try to explain the motivations for the Columbine attack you can sum it up by what Dylan and Eric had written on their shirts during the attack. Eric-Survival of the Fittest, Dylan- Wrath

[–]Cervical_Mucus 5 points6 points ago

They even made violent creepy videos for school projects. I'm too lazy to look for them online right now...I had a creepy fascination with the entire situation many years back.

Edit: here is some video shit http://acolumbinesite.com/tape.html

[–]queenofthecanned 3 points4 points ago

Me too, well rather a morbid fascination....I have copies of there journals and stuff...its really kind of an interesting/fucked uo thing and all the theories that it has spawned

[–]kactus 5 points6 points ago

NSFL

[–]imliterallydyinghere 11 points12 points ago

You know what really disturbed me while browsing this site is what the search tags where on how people ended up there.

For example:

What People Searched For To Land Here: taliban fucking women taliban fuck taliban fucking Taliban fuck woman death by stoning video middle east stoning video pakistani women fucking video taliban women fuck taliban fucking video taliban fuck video

What is wrong with those people to jerk off on that? That was a WTF moment for me...

[–]buddha_nigga 14 points15 points ago

bestgore.com of course it's going to be nsfl...

[–]tr0pix 0 points1 point ago

That gave me the willies.

[–]Lycoris 1 point2 points ago

I saw this once in one of those shock tabloid magazines people buy, a friend had collected a bunch from her grandma. There were all sorts of pictures like this, from different angles and such.

[–]koonts51 0 points1 point ago

I'm pretty sure that if I click that I'll end up on some list somewhere. I'll just take your word for it...

[–]thyyoungclub 0 points1 point ago

D'aw, I clicked and didn't think about that.

Whatever, I'm probably on a lot of lists since I wrote a bunch of essays about Columbine. (It's not my fault I could relate it to all of my finals one year and I didn't feel like researching five different topics.)

[–]queenofthecanned 0 points1 point ago

I've seen it....I always noted that Eric had shot himself first and since he was the sociopath mastermind I couldn't help but wonder if the depressive Dylan had hesitated a few moments and how diffrently the whole situation would have been if he'd have lived and gone to prison and told his side of the story (all the his journal does a good job of that)

[–]Cervical_Mucus 0 points1 point ago

I was in the "reb and voDKa" livejournal community years back. I think my fascination went a little top far and got quite creepy. I became intrigued by young killers. Not because I wanted to harm anyone, just wanted to get inside their heads. I ended up writing to Kip Kinkle about 10 years ago. He wrote back, but the he was all sorts of weird and couldn't write for shit. Made me sad because he very obviously has things wrong with him.

[–]queenofthecanned 1 point2 points ago

That is sad

[–]advil_9 9 points10 points ago

Count the shadows...

[–]sh31byrenee 7 points8 points ago

This is so eerie. It gave me the willies.

[–]secretchimp 9 points10 points ago

Give its willies back.

[–]eegit 7 points8 points ago

Look at forever alone bang in the middle!

[–]IamA_Agrajag 16 points17 points ago

Haunting.

First time I've ever seen this.

Especially with the air gunning. Is there a version which highlights which of the students in this picture (if any) were killed? Besides Eric and Dylan, of course.

[–]so_carelessly_here 30 points31 points ago

Ok, so.

This is giving me such a creepy, weird, sad, outraged feeling.

[–]majikjohnson 11 points12 points ago

the guys with the crutches are just as threatening.

[–]fakecandy 1 point2 points ago

I noticed that too, they are holding them like guns.

[–]YoungGeorgeJung 1 point2 points ago

I thought guitars based on how his hand looks like he is holding a chord

[–]fakecandy 1 point2 points ago

Damn it, I had to go back! It still looks like one of them is holding a shot gun to me.

[–]gx61 16 points17 points ago

I'm trying to find out who were the "cool" kids but can't because of the awful 90's style.

[–]x777x777x 4 points5 points ago

The kid in the Avalanche jersey obviously. Those things are expensive and the Avs were great in the 90s, so you know everyone was on their bandwagon at the time

[–]bastardfish 2 points3 points ago

Eric and Dylan, they became famous.

[–]gx61 1 point2 points ago

I think they're probably the least cool people in this photo personally. Maybe that's why they did what they did?

[–]bastardfish 2 points3 points ago

That's what was reported at first, but actually they weren't bullied and had friends, as seen in the pic. It was more of a survival of the fittest mentality that they had, mostly Eric, and they felt that anyone who was "unfit" for this world should die.

[–]Swazi 0 points1 point ago

He wore a white shirt that said "Natural Selection" the day of the shootings.

[–]bastardfish 0 points1 point ago

I can't believe I forgot about that, you're right. That's haunting isn't it? That he saw himself as the embodiment of natural selection?

[–]Roxxer 5 points6 points ago

Everyone is all crammed together except for the guy in the blue shirt in the middle. There's empty space all around him...

[–]SpartaWillBurn 7 points8 points ago

Probably a /r/atheism poster.

[–]richiereaper666 0 points1 point ago

Soon...

[–]UnderD4Donut 5 points6 points ago

Tie Dye guy is not impressed.

[–]ShinCoal 25 points26 points ago

Stop talking about KMFDM. Some other guy has a Neurosis shirt, now thát is a badass.

[–]whats_yr_damage 0 points1 point ago

first thing i noticed in the pic too

[–]thedeejus 8 points9 points ago

I can't find the black guy

[–]richiereaper666 0 points1 point ago

I found the asian guy.

[–]rediculousam 2 points3 points ago

The girl in the bottom left flexing....

EDIT: Looked again, talking about the not so hot one.

[–]jhra 0 points1 point ago

The girl to her right is shit hot.

[–]brutalsun 20 points21 points ago

What a racist class picture... I demand that black students be photoshopped in to enhance the illusion that our schools are integrated.

[–]not_datah0g 25 points26 points ago

[–]SammyD1st 2 points3 points ago

Pop pop!

[–]hadvant 5 points6 points ago

NEUROSIS SHIRT.

[–]thatsjustfantastic -1 points0 points ago

Saw that too, almost right away.

[–]GanoesParan 0 points1 point ago

At their creative peak too, in between Through Silver in Blood and Times of Grace and a bit before A Sun that Never Sets. Great time to be a Neurosis fan, one of the top bands EVER.

[–]numonestun 4 points5 points ago

I spotted a farter.

[–]theTutorial 2 points3 points ago

Irrelevant to the post but are you actually Bushwick Bill from Geto Boys?

[–]tonyvila 4 points5 points ago

Holy shit! Someone left a crumpled piece of paper in the bleachers! Will the littering never end?

[–]Dis86 8 points9 points ago

Can someone explain? I'm slow or ignorant.. probably both

[–]Periculous22 16 points17 points ago

Woah, you don't know about the Columbine shooting?

[–]Dis86 18 points19 points ago

Now that Nickldd92 explained it I remembered about the shooting, just didn't know that it was in the Columbine H.S. being european doesn't help :p

[–]dailyfusion 0 points1 point ago

Probably 12 years old. Before his time

[–]bushwickbill[S] 0 points1 point ago

Or European.

[–]Nickldd92 9 points10 points ago

Columbine shooting, it was a horrible disaster. Two kids (the kids in the upper left of this photo) went into their highshool with submachine gun and gunned down teachers and students. Then killed themselves. Its all here Columbine Shooting

[–]gregs887 9 points10 points ago

There is a big difference between a submachine gun and semi-automatic firearms.

[–]Nickldd92 0 points1 point ago

My bad im not very gun savvy. In the picture of them in the cafeteria it looked as if he was holding a sub machine gun.

[–]CrypticPhantasma 2 points3 points ago

http://acolumbinesite.com/weapon.html no Sub-guns at all. But damn I didn't know they had bombs...

[–]OperatorMike 5 points6 points ago

I'm just glad they sucked at making the bombs

[–]Nickldd92 1 point2 points ago

Yea not very gun savvy. Thats what you get when you assume shit just by looking at a photo lol. But i didnt know they had bombs either

[–]CrypticPhantasma 0 points1 point ago

Eh, the Tec-9 looks a lot like a sub-gun. It's understandable. But still, I feel like nobody knew they had bombs. It boggles the mind how far these two went.

[–]Nickldd92 0 points1 point ago

Yea those kids were whack. Did you ever hear the rumor that the police thought that a sniper could have been on the roof of the school?

[–]OperatorMike 3 points4 points ago

They didn't have submachine guns

[–]Nickldd92 0 points1 point ago

My bad

[–]OperatorMike 0 points1 point ago

But the sawed off shotguns were defiantly illegal, since they modified them to be below the legal barrel length.. which did nothing

[–]Dis86 6 points7 points ago

Thnx :)

[–]nsocks4 22 points23 points ago

might not be the best reply when someone explains a murder to you...

[–]HanselSoHotRightNow 15 points16 points ago

"... and then he chopped her head off and placed it on his living room mantle."

"Tks!! XoXo #yolo teehee #swagstyle"

[–]LittleJujube 6 points7 points ago

Does anybody notice the kid in the top right corner? He isn't too happy with life it seems.

[–]Whichguy 8 points9 points ago

Judging someones life outlook by a picture

not everyone is having a good day.

[–]Lightupthenight 4 points5 points ago

Fedora, twin v sign...I think we found a future redditor

[–]bastardfish 1 point2 points ago

Or a Columbine shooting victim.

[–]bastardfish 1 point2 points ago

Or a Columbine shooting victim.

[–]HrafnPDX 6 points7 points ago

I like KMFDM.

[–]marty_m 3 points4 points ago

Sir, would you please step over here? We'd like to have a word with you.

[–]Evanthatguy 5 points6 points ago

This makes me so sad. All those kids were probably so excited to get started on life and move out of Columbine and a lot of them didn't get to because of a couple of assholes with guns.

[–]nicksupe 1 point2 points ago

oddly enough, when I looked up a KMFDM video on youtube, one of the related videos was about the Columbine shooting

[–]secretchimp 0 points1 point ago

KMFDM hat? Sweeet

[–]rocknrollercoaster 0 points1 point ago

the girls in the bottom right were in on it too!!!!

[–]acerspades 2 points3 points ago

Does anyone know how soon the shooting was after the photo?

[–]SodoMight 0 points1 point ago

I'm pretty sure this was taken in 1998, during their junior year.

[–]unicornbunny 2 points3 points ago

and the guys with the crutches

[–]GazzaC 2 points3 points ago

I couldnt believe there could be so much hate in a few people from a class that looks like a nice bunch of kids, I mean nobody there looks unhappy apart from them..

[–]genki831 0 points1 point ago

There faces are too obscured to tell whether they look happy or not.

[–]savageboredom 1 point2 points ago

On a note that has nothing to do with the tragedy of school shootings... How is it that the fashion seem perfectly normal, yet still exudes such a 90's vibe? Is it just observation bias because I know it happened in the 90's?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

Backwards caps..................backwards caps everywhere.

[–]goergesucks 1 point2 points ago

Why are they literally all white

[–]tremendosaur 7 points8 points ago

The dude is wearing a KMFDM hat.

Now look, we've all owned 20-30 KMFDM CDs in our time. We've all arranged them on the floor, marvelling at the neat cover art. We've put them side by side and gotten annoyed when the spine of the MLWTTKK/KMFDM split threw out the whole sequence....we've all done this. We've done them for reasons.

But the fact is that they're a stupid band. They're like 13-year old cheerleaders singing Monster Mash songs in German.

Let's face it, we were all disappointed when we sold our KMFDM collections on eBay for like $10 in total. Except for the original Naive-we were happy when we got $50 for that.

[–]robertmapplethorpes 2 points3 points ago

I don't think the hat is what we're supposed to be looking at here.

[–]Cervical_Mucus 2 points3 points ago

He's referring to how the media was blaming music, and video games like Doom.

[–]dekanger 1 point2 points ago

Tell us more about us. Enlighten us about us.

[–]the_recluse 4 points5 points ago

TIL there are no minorities in Columbine

[–]SodoMight 0 points1 point ago

Not close to true, really. Even in 1999. Now, it is roughly 15% minority students.

[–]thecreepyfriend 5 points6 points ago

theres not a single black person in this photo

[–]DeusMexMachina 4 points5 points ago

You haven't been to Colorado, have you?

[–]SodoMight 3 points4 points ago

I graduated in 2002 from Columbine and we had 5 or 6 black kids in my class alone. Nearly 1.5%! Also, one of the thirteen killed was black.

[–]DeusMexMachina 2 points3 points ago

Sounds about right. I graduated HS in 1991, graduating class had ~400 and one (1) black kid. She was pretty popular.

[–]Thunderkiss_65 0 points1 point ago

The black kid in South Park is called Token for a reason

[–]nanothestrange 0 points1 point ago

KMFDM! what idiot would even sell their KMFDM cd's?

[–]Brashdoodle 1 point2 points ago

This is horrifying and sad.

[–]jfive76 2 points3 points ago

How many of those kids in that photo are dead now because of those two a-holes?

[–]SpartaWillBurn 1 point2 points ago

They said the kids who were popular at the school wore white hats. Both of them went for kids who were popular.

[–]SodoMight 2 points3 points ago

Just a quick look at those that were killed that day says otherwise. They killed the most students in the library, and not the gym. Some of the nicest, most innocent children were killed that day.

Source: I went to Columbine and was there 'that day'.

[–]FiaMarie 1 point2 points ago

everyone looks drunk....god I miss the 90's.

[–]WhattaJew 0 points1 point ago

So it wasn't the blue tie-dye guy? What creepy shit did he do?

[–]perri21 1 point2 points ago

Wow. I still sort of can't believe that Columbine actually happened? It feels like it should be a film or a bad tv show, but nope. Crazy.

[–]monsterTROLLFACE24 -1 points0 points ago

Whats the deal with the top left corner?

[–]0l01o1ol0 0 points1 point ago

Is it just me, or do they all look older than high school?

Or is it just that I'm used to high schoolers these days looking really little?

The guys in particular are pretty well-built.

[–]sean_themighty 0 points1 point ago

My school in a suburb of Indianapolis was this white back in 1998/99, too. The entire school system was over 98% caucasian.

Today it's the same as Columbine, somewhere around 15% minority.

[–]phunkphreaker 0 points1 point ago

Uh. Are there ONLY white people in Columbine?

Disclaimer looks like there may be one azn, but seriously... This pic is whiter than the driven snow.

[–]SodoMight 1 point2 points ago

It is in fact the 1999 class picture. There was also a more 'formal' one taken. All students could buy them. Fun fact: Eric and Dylan were in video class on the day of the shootings, and they were able to get a message onto the daily morning announcements. To my memory, that day, it was 'I bet you wish you weren't here today', or something to that effect.

[–]joopius 0 points1 point ago
