I am owed about 3,000 apologoies by my count

The News story in USA TODAY came, and it is wonderfull.

I have refered to myself as a victim of the Columbine shootings since 2002. Upon self reflection of the circumstances, I realized that the events that took place in Littleton Colorado in 1999 stirred a national panic, and every slightly odd boy and girl in grades Pre-K through 12 was now considered a bomb threat.

I was that slightly odd boy. I played Video games like Doom and Duke Nukem, I loved computers and read whatever was placed in front of me. I studied seven different religons holy text and interpreted all of them. I played board games that required dice with more then six faces. I saw Ballistics as the ultimate expression of Physics, I studied World War II like it was a Religion. I knew how to make various implements of harm out of homemade objects, as well as ingenious devices that could be helpful in a stretch. in the 1980s I would have been refered to as a little MacGuyver. At Bishop Miege High School I was a ticking time bomb.

It was horrible treatment by my fellow students. most wanted nothing to do with me at that point. Others sought to egg me on. Time however has taught me paitence, and thanks to this article, I stand vindicated. I hope that at the very least my entire graduating class reads this article, and understands. I hope they understand that what happened to me by those who sought to prevent another Columbine was a crime, and it is not one that can be prosecuted or repaid.

I am happy to see the back of that school, and I will only look at it again to see it bulldozed to the ground after I bought it.
