I still remember when I learned about the white supremacist/Nazi side of the Columbine shooters, growing up I heard all the standard "they were bullied/trenchcoat mafia" type shit, I had to learn on my own about their obsession with hitler and how they were trying to follow the example of the Oklahoma city bomber

I remember it being THE school shooting growing up, the one that scared people across the country into developing plans and such for dealing with school intruders and taking it all much more seriously

Now, 14 dead (and the shooters) would barely make headlines for a week

That massacre created a fear elsewhere, and there are a lot of shootings inspired by Columbine, including Kerch Polytechnic College massacre.

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.

Just the year before there was a well planned, for a child, school shooting in Jonesboro Arkansas. Kids pulled the fire alarm and laid in wait for the students to file out. That and Columbine back to back made me think even then that this was normal and I just had never noticed. But no it wasn't normal yet
