I see light, oh tis so bright,
Brightly beaming up a gallant fight.
Oh i say, what a wondrous sight!
looming in the eery, dreary darkness,
I see a light, tis so bright,
Where is it going? A gentle flowing,
Yet I see a spark of fierce glowing,
Looming in the eery dreary darkness.
I see a light, tis isn't so bright,
I fear it's flickering, slowly and silently drowning away.
Oh there it lay, it has fallen astray,
In complete and utter darkness.

Charles Manson - Twisted or just plain delusional.
If you haven't heard of Charles Manson, then you clearly have been living an alternate universe. Charles Manson was born on November 12 1934 to an unmarried Kathleen Maddox in Cincinnati, Ohio. Little did she know she had just given birth to one of the most notorious criminals America has ever seen. He was the leader of the Manson family and the quasi commune which arose in the 1960's.
Remembering Columbine.
Two kids. One High school. Fifteen brutally murdered.
Who were the perpetrators?
Dylan Klebold was only seventeen at the time he went on his murderous rampage with best friend Eric Harris. From looking at his diaries, we can make the assumption that Kleobold was severely depressed.
Personal Thoughts - In some way I sympathize with both Eric and Dylan, in their journals it clearly show that they were both in a dark place, the bullying, the constant teasing created a hatred for not only their classmates but for society in whole. What escalated the shooting in my opinion was bullying. It's wrong, why treat someone less inferior because they look different or act different to you, in my opinion everyone has at one point said something to someone or treated someone wrongly, intentional or unintentional, we all have the power to control our activities, we can limit the teasing and the taunting, this could create a better environment as a whole.
The Columbine Massacre, was a fatal shooting which happened on 4/20 (April 20th) 1999 it approximately lasted forty nine minutes, from 11:09 am to 12:19 am. It has been named one of the deadliest school shootings in all of America.
Twenty four students were injured, and hundreds of students emotionally scarred from the ordeal. Many families lost a son, a daughter, a brother, a sister. The victims went in to school that day, not knowing that it was their last day alive.
The two Perpetrators took their own lives at the end of the rampage, with fatal gunshot wounds.
