I will tell you what you have. You have a very common disease, sadly you have it to the extreme. It’s called exploiting. You are using one of the most disgusting, tragic, and HORRIBLE situations America has experienced and saying “hey, we’ll re-create it! fun huh?” It’s like someone re-creating the gas chambers of world war two, or the torture chambers. Is that cool with you? Do you think anyone who was actually there would like this, I like how you say you will experience the emotions. I’d like to take a gun to your head while chasing you, think it’s fun? or how about the parents, who watched at home as the scene unraveled? Think they’d like seeing what their sons did. I hope you are happy with what you have done. Made the world an awful, sad, disgusting place one person at a time.

My sincerest hopes that you shall soon experience this in the fullest, death and all, Katie

We have the “Exploiting” disease? And we have to TeH XXXXXTREEEEEEEMMMMEEE?

You are very astute, we did in fact tell ourselves  “Hey, we’ll re-create it! Fun huh?”, except we put capital letters in the beginning of our sentences. Were you somehow recording us? Were you spying on us? Who are you? You are close to getting yourself hammered by paintballs….

We DID re-create gas chambers! Well, they are actually SHOWERS, which is what they were also in World War 2. We also have the torture chambers, they are random class rooms in our re-creation and we have a full team pummel someone with paintballs. TONS of fun! You seem to be into that sort of thing, you should come over!

YES, we are happy with what we have done, and so are our customers.

We don’t make the world an awful, sad and disgusting place one person at a time, we make the world an awesome, fun, pleasant place ONE GROUP at a time, not just one person at a time.

How can we experience death….if we are already dead? Katie, we think you may need some schooling in logic.

Of course we knew people would love it! How can Columbine Paintball NOT be loved?

We certainly encourage young people to think that violence is cool, when it’s done with harmless paint balls.

It teaches them the love of paintball.

The training at Columbine Paintball is invaluable. This training has served all over the world.

We are very constructive and the facility is certainly useful to commemorate.

You’re glorifying a terrible event that we would rather forget than relive. To recreate a battle is one thing . . . but to recreate a massacre is something else entirely! I am not going to stand for this. Change your theme, or I guarantee the respectable sector of the paintball community will mount an all-out campaign against you — and I’ll join it!

We are serious.

If you are a serious paintballer yourself, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, COME PROVE IT!

We are not glorifying a terrible event, we are commemorating a terrible event that we would rather remember and relive.

Yes, recreating a battle and recreating a massacre are something else entirely!

You don’t have to stand, you may crouch for this. It is paintball after all.

We will not change our theme, people have worked hard to create it. It is to be treasured.

So, by your logic, if we do not change the theme, the respectable sector of paintball community, such as ourselves, will mount an all-out campaign against us. THAT IS EXCELLENT NEWS!!!! We can then have a MASSIVE paintball campaign composed of the respectable paintball community. THAT IS AWESOME! You’re the best!

I have recently been informed of your web site and found it to be all I was told it would be.

How can you consider this entertainment, good clean fun?  At what expense do we let ourselves to be lead to believe that this is even right, let alone fun.  Would you think it was a correct action if you had lost a loved one in this mass murder of children, teachers, fathers and mothers. I can only think you would be willing to sell your mother or father to the highest bidder.  Have you sold your soul to the evil one?

Please know that this business can and should be considered clean fun, but at what expense do you sell yourself out?  Is it not enough that we are selling the idea of shooting others for the sport of it, fun.  How far do we go before fun is using an AK-47 or some other weapon?  Do you think the minds of the younger people are not impressional?  Read up on the subject, they are very impressionable.

It is with sorrow that I feel compelled to pray for you.  I ask that you feel something within your heart.  It is supposed to be a warm, blood producing organ that we feel Love and compassion in.  Is your heart so cold and hard that you cannot see the difference between good, moral conscience and the need to do what ever to make money.  Has Money become your god?  I pray that you will allow your heart to be softened so as to let the light of  goodness in.  Please don’t let your humanity to stand aside for the all-mighty-buck.  There are many other ways to make money, that are not at the expense of decency.

I am a concerned person, a grand-parent and above all else a human being. Perhaps you still are to?  Consider my words and make a choice that is right for mankind and not yourself.

We are glad our site lives up to the expectations.

We consider it good clean fun as nobody gets hurt and people leave happy. You lead yourself to believe that this is fun and right at the expense of a few dollars only. We are not willing to sell our parents to the highest bidder, we are not slave traders. We don’t live in the fucked up slave-trading world YOU are from. Who is the evil one? Please identify him for us.

We can not use AK-47 type weapons in our scenario, that’s just bad for business as we would lose repeat customers. Your violent mind does not belong in a paintball arena.

We do not know if the minds of younger people are “impressional”, whatever that means. If we understood your meaning we could possibly answer.

Hey thanks for your prayers! It’s appreciated!

Actually, the heart does not PRODUCE blood, it simply pumps it through the body. Blood is produced from bone marrow. We suggest you go back and redo your biology classes in school. Also, we feel love and compassion in the brain, not the heart. Again, please go through your biology class.

There are other ways of making money, but this is the one that we have found to be the best way right now, creating a clean fun paintball scenario for all to enjoy. It is for all mankind to enjoy and appreciate.

Your god will meet all our needs? So generous. Thank you so much!

Folks -

You have crossed the line into moral bankruptcy.  To further your own economic wellbeing, you have established a business which taps into the vast reservoir of truly sick individuals willing to pay money for an emotional high based on the degradation of other human beings.  Your lack of conscience puts you in an elite group of companions which includes equally destructive businesses such as child pornography dealers, drug dealers, and pimps.

I do congratulate you on having found a way to tap this vast money pool legally.  But, inaccurately, you are furthering the corruption of all of American society, both Canadian and U.S. and are labeling it a “game”. Truly, you should label your business to reflect what it really represents – A training camp….every bit as destructive to this counry as those in Afghanistan.

The saddest part is that you are obviously folks of intelligence, resourcefulness, and truly untapped potential……..why not use your talents to promote the goodness of mankind, instead of its morale decline.

Just a thought.

Guy T. Calafato, 3rd

We could further our “wellbeing” if we knew what that is.

We are barely anything close to “elite” group of anything. We have never heard of them, they never call us or anything. We are far from destroying lives with drugs, your suggestion is a bit off.

We can hardly achieve the level of training offered by a training camp.  First of all we only have paintball markers, not real guns, and we stick to the Columbine scenario, which is not very adapted to any other scenarios. We are nowhere near the caliber of training provided by something like Front Sight Firearms Training Institute http://www.frontsight.com/

From your email address we gather that you are in the military. We consider that promoting the goodness of mankind, instead of it’s moral decline would be YOUR job, as it has been your oath to do so, or at least defend what it is now.

That’s right, you had just a thought. It was cute, though.

Is it something american? That people want to kill other people? Want them to go to “hell”.

I can’t understand how anyone want someone else dead, to finish one’s life, to decide such things. I think it’s horrible.

I come from Sweden, a country in Europe if you don’t know, and here it isn’t legal to kill ANYONE.

I would never go to your little Columbine, and it would probably quite hard to get there too… Over the atlantic and such, but if others want to pretend to kill people, I guess it’s up to them.

I can’t see any point to be angry with you, apparently it doesn’t matter, when so many think shooting is awesome.

Have fun all you weirdos.

Malin Taipale

We don’t have a “webpaige”, whatever that is. We don’t believe it either.

Everybody wants us dead because we were smarter than them to have fun and make nice profits by remembering Columbine.

Yes, it is something American to kill other people. Look at all the wars the US is involved in that kill people everyday. Citizens don’t do anything to prevent it, therefore they must like killing people.

It is unlawful to kill in North-America, but Americans seem to think that they have the right to kill anyone they want.

The Atlantic can be crossed by boat and plane in this century, it is not that far.

Don’t be angry, come play some games and have fun! We DO have fun, you should to!

FANTASTIC SITE!  I was a freshman at Columbine High School when the shooting occurred five years ago.  I knew it would be something that I could look back at one day and laugh, but I had no idea it would be so soon!  I’d love to meet you in person (things are just too impersonal over e-mail. It’s much more effective to share these things while looking the other person in the eye).  Your idea, however, is absolutely brilliant.  On April 20th 1999, I was in the North East part of the building, on the other side of the school from the cafeteria and library, so I missed out on most of the action.  I feel that playing Columbine Paintball as one of the students, I will be able to understand some of the things that the people I knew were feeling in the moments before they were killed.  Its so funny to think that I am twenty years old now. Those kids never lived to be twenty, but if they were here now, I’m sure they’d be laughing right along with me! Keep up the good work!

We think it’s a nice site also!

We are glad that you can now laugh about it. It is all part of the healing process.

We would also like to meet you in person, we can use your information to refine our recreation.

We also think it’s brilliant. Come and re-live the experience and get a sense of what the people involved were feeling.

We will keep up the good work, keep up the good shooting!

Whats Up CPB,

I have a few questions to ask you guys as well as kind of a statement about my overall feeling.  First I wanna know if you guys sell paint in more than 100 increments cuz i usually blow about 2000 a day so I was wondering if there is any kind of bulk pricing.  Also, I was wondering if you can give us any kind of discount because me and a couple of my buddies that are planning to come up are students from there and I was actually there so if I could do some consulting work with you we can get some dollars knocked off that price.  As a “victim” of the tragedy im pretty ok with you guys cuz what everyone doesn’t understand is that we columbine students get A LOT of shit from all over the place about the shooting and eventually you just stop to care because you just recognize that everyone who trys to make fun of it are just assholes.  If you guys are for real then I have no quarrel at all and in fact I would like to join you guys up there and shoot some trench coat fucks for my classmates that aren’t there anymore.

We can sell you any amount of paint balls in just about any increments. We’ll make you a deal. If you want to contribute to Columbine Paintball, you are more than welcome.

We are for real, we would be honored to have you at our paintball facility. Come on over and shoot whoever you want!

We all know you don’t like America and you pitiful wastes of life thrive on our losses. People like should you should have to go through such an ordeal. I hope that some day you BASTARDS go through such an ordeal in your life someday.

GO TO HELL,

Profiting from a situation that ruined many lives is VERY American. Just look at all government false-flag operations.

We have not gone through such an ordeal, that is why we recreate the event as close as possible in an attempt to re-live it.

I’m guessing by this sick joke that you are trying to get a point across to the American public. And I assume you are Canadian.  You think this kind of shit is making a difference?  You condemn America for being so screwed up and for all the violence yet you are even worse for making such a bullshit site.  You wonder why Canadians get such a bad name?  It’s people like you who think it’s your god-given right to make sure everyone knows how superior you are to everyone else.  The only thing this site is doing is showing how stupid and arrogant you really are.  And you’re giving your hick ass country a bad name.  You could have spent all these resources to actually do some good in this world.  Don’t lecture the Denver Post about helping the American Public when all you do is corrupt it.  Well anyway that’s just my opinion and I think it’s very sad that you spend this much time and energy just to prove to this entire country that you are nothing but low-lifes.  Good luck with your shit.

This shit DOES make a difference! In our bank account!

Funny about letting everyone else know you are superior…. that’s pretty much the Americans who do that.  AND WE LOVE IT! That’s why we moved to the U.S!

We were pretty sure that it is the Denver Post that is corrupting America but not informing them on what is really going on in the country that is actually destroying it. WE are not corrupting anything, we just play paintball. That’s a fucked up view to think that we corrupt anything.

Good luck with your shit as well! We love this shit!

By the way I read some of the emails you get.  Your response about “cashing in”, and the fact that the families didn’t?  This idea will not make it in America.  But I will keep your idea in mind for when your family is murdered so that others may cash in.  My friend is dead from Columbine and you people are cashing in on her death.  Think about what you would do if you say your friends dead on Tv.  How would you feel if their death was now an amusement.  Battle reenactments are very different from what you are doing.  Just feel so lucky that you can cash in and not have to feel the pain that I now have to feeling knowing that there are people out there like you that could care less about what they inflict on others.  You may care when it happens to you.

Valerie

The families cashed in with with life insurance, right? We are sure the Columbine victim families have cashed in nicely. We cash in also, but without killing, therefore we are better. The fact that we are cashing in on your friend’s death only means her death is not in vain (we bet some would have written “vein” instead of “vain”. How can we guess that? Must be from the shitload of shitty spelling we get in the mail.).

OK, let’s say “your friends dead on TV” and think what we would do if we said it. We think we think of the fact that we are saying “your friends dead on TV”. We are not sure what you meant with that sentence.

We would feel honored that their death was not an amusement, as it would serve to commemorate.

Battle reenactments are very NOT different from what we are doing, it’s just people dressed up with fake guns. HA!

The only thing we inflict on others are paint balls.

Way to show a lack of compassion for those of us who have lost loved ones.  But hey, family fun acting like terrified victims or killers.  Lets just hope none of the people who would actually do this will ever have to feel the pain of attending a real funeral for their dead child or friend.  But I guess while some exploit this, the idea that shooting people is fun will be burned into kids heads.  Good, clean family fun. The least a paintball activity company could do is leave Columbine, and other very real tragedies out of their advertising.  But you people probably don’t care nor understand.

Valerie

We lost loved ones also. Paintball is not always fun and games. But they always come back in the next game.

How can we NOT use Columbine in our advertising, given it’s great marketing power?

You must be joking about your whole columbine experience. How can you take that pure hate and try to make it “a safe and fun experience?” People were slaughtered in that attack, and you even think it would be fun to remake it? I hope you get sued by every relative of every victim of that attack. You are a sick, worthless child. Grow up, leave paintball alone. Let me guess, your next addition will be 9/11 paintball, “experience the thrill of having a boeing dismantle your body as a worker, know w hat i t’s like to be crushed by tons of metal while you try to save someone who’s dead or dieng from falling 600 feet. What a thrill!” I hope you die in a terrorist attack, so you too can feel the rush of being an “innocent victim.” Bastard.
