No, don't pick on me, when one act of kindness could be deathly

Here's to the eleventh anniversary of Columbine.

Here's to the sorrow caused by the loss of these thirteen following maginificent people: Cassie Bernall, Steve Curnow, Corey DePooter, Kelly Fleming, Matt Kechter, Daniel Mauser, Daniel Rohrbough, Rachel Scott, Isaiah Shoels, John Tomlin, Lauren Townsend, Kyle Velasquez, and Coach Dave Sanders.

This is to the twenty-one injured: Richard Castaldo, Sean Graves, Lance Kirklin, Michael Johnson, Mark Taylor, Anne-Marie Hochhalter, Brian Anderson, Patti Nielson, Stephanie Munson, Evan Todd, Patrick Ireland, Daniel Steepleton, Makai Hall, Kacey Ruegsegger, Lisa Kreutz, Valeen Schnurr, Mark Kintgen, Nicole Nowlen, Jeanna Park, Jennifer Doyle, Austin Eubanks.

And even though some find me crazy for mourning the ones who are at the center of it all, here's to Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. God only knows what would have happened if the two of you had stopped yourself from causing such chaos. May you come to peace with your inner demons in a better place.

Without hope, the us's give up - I know you cannot live on hope alone, but without it, life is not worth living. So you, and you, and you... You gotta give em' hope... you gotta give em' hope. -Harvey Milk, Milk(2008)
