      fun set of threads (claims). i hadnt actually paid much attention to the details at the time Columbine happened but I vaguely remember some of these questions and a sense that a lot of things were bungledhttps://twitter.com/SaturnaliaSund1/status/1434505209330294808 …

      Hello friends! I've been mulling over posting this one for a long time given the morbid subject and extreme complexity, but figure I may as well post the cursory stuff I do have. Read along and we can do a little investigation into the Columbine Shooting. pic.twitter.com/nL4kEwUXdN

      more than that its somewhat interesting that columbine seems imo to have made a massive cultural impact that faded out quickly. I guess probably consequence of 9/11, but in a way the shooting really harshed the vibe of the late 90s

          The cultural impact is still alive and well as the 'school shooting industry' came to be. It was their "for the children" moment for gun control.

          Imagine living in a time and place so peaceful and innocuous that a single mass-casualty school shooting is enough to harsh the vibe of an entire nation. If it weren't for 9/11, there's no telling how much longer it and so many other things may have remained forefront.

          I was going to challenge you on how it seeded the zeitgeist for future mass shootings, but looking over things Kip Kinkel had already happened as well as others, so that train had already left the station. Still, if you say Columbine now, most probably think of the shooting

          Faded out? They invented the school shooting meme that plagues us to this day. Mass school shootings didn't exist before Columbine

          If you pick a contemporary issue that's bothering you on a given day and trace it back, you'll find Columbine at the root at least as often as 9/11.

          Replying to @eigenrobot

          Have somehow wondered how much the "Not Even Once" mindset that arose out of this era of school shootings drove a national obsession with driving low-prob/high-severity incidents to zero (cf w/9/11 and COVID)

          It didn’t fade out; many school shooters still mention Harris and Klebold as hellish inspiration.

          Kind of. 9/11 definitely washed the memory away but the security theater of Columbine likely persists to this day. I was a middle schooler/high schooler and the first day of HS we were lined up for a mile to enter through x-ray for backpack and wand scanner plus walk-through.

          Some of the yarns in that thread are very much narrative based. The multiple allusions to The Matrix shows why it misses the cultural mark. Goth was pretty big at the time. Yes, MarManson et. al impactful. Interesting other tidbits nevertheless.
