Reading Pages 75-104
I have two questions to ask. How did it take so long for the police to figure out that Eric and Dylan were dead? As well as why would Robyn buy Eric and Dylan guns anyways? If the police had found out hours earlier before they actually did then they could have saved some of the parents worrying. Once they found out, more people were exited and then the parents found out. Having the parents worrying consists of them asking the police and distracting them. If they knew that Eric and Dylan weren't alive anymore then they could have rushed in there, get everyone out, and save some of the horror they went through. I found it terribly planned on the police that it took them that long. Further more, why would Robyn buy Eric and Dylan guns? What good does that do you? Guns do harm, and if you didn't know what they were exactly doing with the guns, then why get them? If I were Robyn, I would probably confess just because of what she contributed to. I don't want to make it sound like it was her fault. It most certainly wasn't. Eric and Dylan probably could have found guns from another source but what Robyn did was extremely wrong. What would you do if you were Robyn? If you were a parent and found out that the police were hours late on finding out the killers were dead, how would you respond?

ReplyDeleteI agree that Robyn put herself in a very tough position and now she must feel very guilty. The shooting was not her fault because she did not take part in the actual shooting. However Robyn's actions led to this terrible event. Without Robyn it is possible that Eric and Dylan may not have been able to buy the guns. Her actions are done and so is the shooting. I wonder how Robyn was able to handle herself after the shooting. If i were her i would feel so much guilt and would not be able to live a normal life. Do you think she will tell anyone else about her secret besides Kellie? Another friend, Zack must also feel very guilty because he had helped Eric and Dylan make the pipe bombs. He also must feel ashamed because after spending so much time with them he never caught on to their plan. I wonder how Robyn and Zack were able to live life after such an event and so much guilt.
ReplyDeleteThe police believed that this was a hostage situation and it is protocol to stay calm and not intervene until they figure out the entire situation. This was dumb though on the police's part because this wasn't a hostage situation. If it was the killers would have wanted to keep people and like a prize possession to upset people and then kill them, but in this case the killers didn't care about who they killed, they had no significance to them besides the fact that the general population of the school they didn't like or had something against them. The police made a lot of mistakes on that day and i am not saying that it is the police's fault but they could've saved more people.
