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!
