I started reading the book about Columbine when I worked at a bookstore, but never got the chance to finish it. I remember getting increasingly frustrated about how the boys got to the point where they were able to do what they did, but the book was quite interesting, and I'd like to continue with it sometime.

Cults are chilling. The Jonestown massacre in the '70s is particularly creepy.

Haven't delved into the podcast side of things, but I watch a LOT of the Investigation Discovery channel.

Columbine is frustatting because of how much disinformation there is about it (such as the boys being unpopular nerd who were bullied) and how some of the community responded (Evangelists are the fucking worse).

Jonestown is so horrific because of the audio recordings from it. Children of God were really, really fucked up. And the worst part is they exist AND no one has really been punished for the horrible things they did.

Yeah, the book delves into and clears up a lot of that misinformation that got spread around.

And agreed that the reaction was maddening. I was in eighth grade when Columbine happened (which was part of what unnerved me most about it, that I wasn't too far off from the ages of the kids killed and I'd be starting high school the following fall), and I remember the big controversy over Marilyn Manson afterward so clearly. To the point where a co-worker of my dad's seemed genuinely surprised at the fact that he had no problem with me listening to songs by him, 'cause said co-worker brought into the, "He's a bad influence!" bullshit.

And I also remember people talking about how things like Columbine were an example of what happens when you take God and prayer out of schools. *Rolls eyes*

Of course, the kids' easy access to guns and other weaponry was never a big concern to any of those people.
