I grew up in the wake of columbine, as a teen in the 2000's. Weird time. Like someone on true anon said it best:

In a weird way this was the real end of America. Everyone in power punted on the chance to offer any meaningful remedy for school shootings, they eventually became normalized, and every other horrifying event that has occurred since is offered the same response that was offered to Columbine- thoughts and prayers.

I had been out of HS for two years when this happened.

This is what caused the HS to go to a closed campus, to hire cops instead of rent-a-cops, and to begin installing locking doors in classrooms.

Yeah I had just got into high school when it happened and we got locking front doors and a school cop.
