In viewing your website–only because of my research on the tragedy at Columbine–I was disgusted that someone would actually have the audacity to create something like you created. How dare you commercialize and profit from the death of innocent young students!

One of the problems with the United States border authorities is that they let people like you cross our borders. Too bad they didn’t do more research into your intentions of anti-peacemaking.

I hope the families of the victims of Columbine do look into your website, only to put you out of business. As a business that condones violence and death of innocents, you have no right to the free enterprise system of the USA.

I’m sorry you take up space in the USA that could be utilized for something so much better. A field of grass would serve more purpose than you.

If audacity disgusts you, perhaps you should not be in the United States.

What? Commercializing and profit from the death of innocent OLD students is OK? Young ones are not fair game?

All our activities are peaceful. It would be different if we used bullets instead of paintballs.

Some victims have seen the site and sent positive emails.

Funny you mention a field of grass, that was exactly what there was where our Columbine recreation now stands.

You people should be more than ashamed of yourselves!!  This is sick!!  There should be a better adjective for you than just “sick” but I don’t think there is anything low enough to describe you for taking a horrible tragedy [...]]]> From: Jeannine Dean [mailto:kmcjjdean@cox.net]

You people should be more than ashamed of yourselves!!  This is sick!!  There should be a better adjective for you than just “sick” but I don’t think there is anything low enough to describe you for taking a horrible tragedy and profiting from it.  You disgust me and so does anyone who would go to your sick excuse for fun!!

Remember, God does remember what we do here on earth and I believe you will get what’s coming to you for doing this.

How dare you!!

Outraged citizen in Kansas!

We are not more ashamed of ourselves, our level of shame is quite acceptable right now, which is none at all.

This is not sick. We participate in the long lasting memory of this event.

Find your better adjective and please let us know what you find.

Paintball is not a sick excuse for fun. Don’t slam it until you try it!

We know God appreciates our effort to remember those who lost their lives.
