[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Dylan's parents had uprooted themselves and moved far away, do you think that Eric Harris would have still done the Columbine mass killing?

NOT blaming anyone for not seeing this coming btw.  I do not think anyone saw that coming...

But people are saying that Harris is the one who did this and that Klebold was more or less suicidal and along for the ride.  And I think his role was much bigger than that.  I also question whether Harris would have done this all by himself. [/quote]

Maybe not. But with someone wired like Eric, if it wasn't Columbine, it would have been something else. Maybe in a few months, maybe in a few years. Maybe with Dylan, maybe with someone else, maybe alone. But he was going to end up killing people one way or another. A psychopath with NPD who believes the rest of the world to be crud on his shoe? The only question was when, not if.

As far as stopping Dylan from spending time with Eric, well, they were 18 and almost 18. At some point, you start losing control over your kids' actions and associates as they turn into young adults. If they had been 13 or 14, then I'd put more blame on the parents for not watching more closely, but kids grow up, become more independent, and develop more ways of sneaking around and doing what they want. And what parent would reasonably suspect that when their kids are hanging out with a "bad influence," they're plotting a massacre, rather than something more innocuous like stealing from the liquor cabinet?
