I am a columbine survivor. Thank you for being respectful. This video was hard but amazing. Thanks Adam
JennBaby1515 I feel sorry what you’ve went through there at the high school I work as a school custodian here in state of Minnesota but yet again I feel sorry for your lost some of your friends and I’m glad your alive.
Jeff Carroll what other choice would you have except for running for your life?
Jeff Carroll imagine saying this
Yes I am a daughter and niece of a columbine survivor, and I do not have first hand idea of how scary it is but it is so hard to watch and learn about this
No you aren’t
Hard to believe that it's been 17 years. I'm sure it feels like yesterday to the families.
Time moves on so quickly thats for sure
That time moves quickly is true,... but good can come just as fast in that very time....Wondrous....
adamthewoo It sure does my friend and that is why you have to enjoy life to the fullest.
Man....I was 32 when that happened and yet it seems like only yesterday.
So true
I was in middle school when this happened and it really changed the way school was handled for the rest of my time in school. We started having intruder and lockdown drills at least once a year, if not more often. Though we never took it seriously. It wasn't until my senior year in high school when we got a new French teacher who informed us she was a teacher at Columbine that day and told us about what happened. When we had an intruder drill with her, we all took it seriously because we knew from her how important it was and what it meant to be prepared and safe. I pass that importance onto my own students as I move into the education field, stressing not the fear but the need to be safe and ready.
Brain Toad lock down drills happened in my school before I graduated 1 time a month and same with fire drills.
Same here. I remember right after this happened, my school chose to have one of the school staff members stand outside the entrance doors to our school with one of those handheld metal detectors. It really freaked me out and I was afraid to go to school for a few days after the event.
Same. I was in sixth grade at the time, and was at home sick watching the tv when the Columbine shooting came on. It was chilling to watch live. My earliest memory of watching something so terrifying live as it happened, except for maybe the OJ chase. Totally changed everything for my school too. Everything became Zero Tolerance. Suspensions for bringing nail clippers to school, etc. Destroyed the fabric of our society in a way.
What was your teacher's name?
I'm a student at Columbine, wasn't even born when the shooting happened but my science teacher was at the school during the time, first day of school he told us about it. Pretty spooky
You have a big heart Adam. Not many people would do a vlog like that, that way.
Edward Berry very touching vlog.
An exceptionally well scripted and presented episode, Adam! Thank you for the silences and the spaces, and for smiling at the chattering critter that reminds us life goes on.
Prairie dogs. They are cute!
Angela Winters And how does one attain a prairie dog? I'm asking for a friend.
I also think hedgehogs are cool too.
GAM3 OVER I had a hedgehog, I still miss the little guy. He didn't like me much (he was adopted) but they're sweet, adorable little creatures.
Ashley Are they easy to take care of?
GAM3 OVER If you like small rodents, get a pet rat or a gerbil, hamster or something like that
Awesome job on this one man I was in high school in tennessee at that time. I remember watching it unfold it really made me think about a lot of stuff. Thank You for what you do.
You are one of the main reasons that I started exploring. You a re e a cool dude and very inspiring.
Me too! I'm class of 1999. I was a senior in high school at the time of the massacre.
I was in high school then very depressing awful time The only high school in the world you just say its name and you what it is RIP.
I just cried into my coffee while watching this. Beautifully and respectfully done, Adam. Such a sensitive and kind heart you have. You were raised right.
JustNess78 gross?
4:11 "Sounds great, thanks Eric."
Exact Estimate I choked
Exact Estimate q
"No problem Dylan." Lol
Wel.....
@@nicksmith522 it's not funny
Adam, you need to get some business cards with your RUclips and websites on them for when police or other interested parties stop you to ask who you are and what you're doing.
True enough... but you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. If the cops are going to confront me anyway, does it make more sense to be loud and confrontational about it, or quiet and polite about it? A pack of business cards (and quick links to his channel on his phone) is a very good idea.
unauthorized people are not allowed on school property when school is in session. If you are an unknown person on campus they will investigate. The memorial was off school grounds a little. Before going to a school you are supposed to announce yourself at office to get permission.
The police are there to protect our children, there are times when you can get your panties in a twist, this is not one of them. What right are you trying to protect? They showed him where the public area was, they had no ill will.
"you catch more flies with honey than vinegar"
This. I fail to see how Adam being uncooperative would have helped anything.
Under other circumstances, I'd agree with LadyDragonsblood, but Columbine High School doesn't seem like the smartest choice of location for trying to prove a point about filming rights.
TheOriginalMaxGForce good idea.
Thank you for showing us the memorial. I got choked up a bit when you were reading about each person lost. I will never forget this incident. Such a senseless tragedy.
Adam, You made me cry. Thank you for paying your respects to the ones that were lost on that tragic day and not rehashing all the details of what happened. I lost my son eight years ago and I know the parents of those that are gone would truly appreciate you reading the memorials and just remembering their children. I think you did this very well.
Sorry for your loss. Thank you for the comment
Well said. I lost my 16 year old in July of 1999. Not a good year. :(
Going Slightly Mad so sorry for your loss
sorry about ur son :(
sorry to hear that
R.I.P Rachael, Isaiah and everyone else
this vlog gave me...the feels
BROWN FAT POOR Me too
BROWN FAT POOR Agreed!
Those Prairie Dogs were super cool. Thanks for this touching video Adam. I had never seen that memorial before.
They popped in at the right time, needed a good smile
That part was SO cute!
I watched this with my 7 year old. Obviously, he didn't know about Columbine, but the prairie dogs got his attention. I said, "Do you know what those are? They're prairie dogs." He looked at me and said, "Adam the Woo's Wild Kingdom!" Such sweet innocence. God bless the people of Columbine.
Michele Hood
Cute!
I live around 2 miles from Columbine High School. I actually drive by it most days and I went to school at the next closest high school at the time Sheridan High School. That day is still something I think about often. As I'm about to move to the Anaheim area at the end of this month I'll be visiting this memorial one last time as I feel compelled to still never forget that anything can happen anywhere and to cherish every moment we have.
Thanks for visiting my area of the world and making this video.
-Josh
Thank you for your respectful video. The sad thing is that many, in the human race, have not learned a darn thing from this.
Thank you so much for your judgmental insight to my life. If you think that badly of Adam then why are you here.
Ian McPherson it was a gvt hoax what is there to learn
Like what ?
Ares Columbine was NOT a hoax. That’s pretty insensitive to say
Scotty W these people believe sandy hook is a hoax and that the world is flat.
Netflix needs to pick up Adam the Woo.
Yeah.
I watched it all unfold on TV, as well. Thank you, Adam! What a beautiful memorial. Brought tears to my eyes.
This choked me up... I remember the day clearly!! My sister and I visited the school just after it happened. Their cars still in the parking lot covered in flowers, teddy bears and notes. I remember walking up that hill and seeing the crosses, overlooking the school... I remember a group of teens holding hands in a circle and praying "for the people within earshot" as well as the victims and their families.. Such a SAD day :'(
itsafamily thang Hi, my husband called me at our kids' elementary/middle school after I did a field trip with my son's class that one day. Now we live closer to Columbine than at that time. I too remember ALL the flowers and gifts and crosses and letters at the "immediate aftermath" memorial. Took a lot of pix. THANK YOU, ADAM THE WOO. God Bless & Protect You and all You Love.
'John Robert Tomlin, His truck, like Rachel Scott's car, became a standing memorial in the parking lot. Thursday following the shootings his family gathered around the truck despite the fact that it was raining. His bible was still sitting on the dashboard, where he always left it in the hope that someone would see something there that would bring them closer to God.'

Did you know any of the victims?
your brought on some real emotions today........I started tearing up when you read the teachers last words about his daughters.....
Dramatic image of Adam heading to the memorial with Columbine to his back, a sign pointing the way, with a sad face in the clouds looking down from the sky (to the left at 5:20).
So emotional. I remember that day so well. May we never forget the students and Teacher , their lives taken to soon. well done Adam, well done.
I was a Freshman in high school when this happened. Back then, school shootings were unheard of. Nowadays, they're all too common.
@Zombie Eric Harris wtf
Thanks Adam for presenting this. You did it in the most respectful way.
A very tasteful, respectful vlog another top job 👍🏻
I know this was years ago when you did the vlog, but I remember where I was. I was working at a brokerage firm and we had the news on on one of our TV's and I could not believe what I as seeing as students were running out of the school. Adam, thank you so much for the love and respect you showed during this vlog. ❤
I remember this event well--I was in college and remember seeing it on the news and being afraid. Over the years I got to meet survivors through their speaking engagements. I've read the book on it by Dave Cullen--very good read. Thank you for taking us there. On a less somber note, yay for finding sunglasses!
this gave me such shivers. sometimes after watching countless documentaries of an event it begins to feel a little distant and you forget it was not just a story but an /event/. you really hit home with that point- this wasn't just a story- it's an event.
I remember Columbine well. As a victim of bullying throughout junior high and high school, I was able to take my experiences and channel them positively. I got my revenge by living an enjoyable life, free of mundane activities and responsibilities and full of constant fun and enjoyment. I have so much fun every day that I'm constantly laughing. None of the people I grew up with were so lucky.
Unfortunately, when you're in the thick of being tortured every day by your peers, a few individuals will resort to violence. I personally swore off violence at age 14 and I haven't raised a hand or a weapon to man, woman, or child since then. No one deserves to be killed for bullying people, but there are probably tens of thousands of people alive today that deserve to have served time in prison for what they did as youngsters. Until justice is served for these people, school shootings will continue to occur.
@Jason Bouphasavanh hey, whilst I agree with you that guy should deal with his past, and not play the victim card publicly, nor do I like his attitude that school shootings will continue to accure, I can't say I agree with anything else you've posted. How the fuck is he supposed to change how he looks, and also, make himself cooler? Seriously, kinda a fucked response to make!
John Gotts great
MessyJC yeah
Awww, prairie dogs! Thank you for honoring the 13 people who were murdered at Columbine.
Prairie dogs are cool.
You are very talented with how you pay your respects. Very good episode, thanks for sharing the stories of these victims with us.
That's was good Adam. Never take anything for granted...
Thank you so much for doing such a respectful vlog Adam, my family just moved to Colorado when this happened and I remember being scared to go to school.
Many tears were shed during this video
i was a part of this and it brings back so many memories watching this video. thank you woo!
Respect to you that you still manage to live with this experience 👍
One thing that I noticed about this video is how easy it is to get onto the school grounds, you can literally get into the car park next to the school. I know they have security but you'd think after a mass shooting and how well known the school is for a tragic event, you'd think they have it gated
Adam, thank you so much for this video. The Columbine shooting happened 4 days after my 19th birthday. Having just got out of highschool this event affected me deeply. Not only did it break my heart, but I also could have been classified in the same group as the shooters. Always in Black, a self mutilating cutter. A NIN superfan.. etc.
I think the way you approached it was sweet and authentic. Thank you for showing the memorial and speaking about the victims. People always focus on the carnage and death. You made me cry man!
Anyways, I just perchanced on your blog a week or so ago with your visit to the Texas Chainsaw filming locations. I love what you do, and enjoy that a fan of so much pop culture can see these places we may never get to see in person. Mad respect.
I just moved to Buffalo NY and wanted to say, if you are ever out this way I would absolutely be honored to be your sidekick for an adventure. In fact it would be a highlight of my life.
again, much respect.
John Robison
a.k.a. #CaptainPirateFace
I'll remember that day for the rest of my life. I remember my last class at school, walking home and turning in the tv to that. You did a very good job being respectful, imo
"Mostly, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world every day. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head, all the time... Can you understand?"
- John Coffey
I live in Jefferson County and have never visited this site. I'm very sensitive to places of tragedy and feel things a little too deeply. thank you for making this video so that I could pay my respects vicariously. I don't know how long you'll be in Colorado, but we have a Star Wars exhibit coming to the art museum later this month featuring real stuff from the films. it will be up through 2017 so if not this month, you can stop by whenever.
Omg its been 17 years ! I was in tears watching this, what a beautiful video Adam .
I cannot imagine those students still having to go to school in that building where such a tragedy happened. It would haunt me going to class every day
It should be permanently destroyed
@@James-th7wb You should never destroy history
Had me in tears- very sweet, very heartfelt and honest. Thanks for just being you. God bless you Adam. Thank you for this video.
Adam, I'm honored for you to go out of your way to the memorial. As you read each name, you brought them to life that made me feel they were alive once again. Thank you!
I was living/working in Daytona Beach Florida in 1999. My heart goes out to the victims and families. Thanks Adam for paying respect.
Wow, great job Adam. Nice that you highlighted the people who perished and not their killers. Great job as always. Can't wait for tomorrow's Vlog.
Hmm... I do wish he mentioned them. They went through a lot of pain to pull of such a horrible act. Society was the only one to blame for this.
Man, after I watched this-I went back and watched the old footage and documentaries. I was in college back then. I can't believe it's been 17 years. It's a good reminder to be kind to everyone.
Adam, thank you so much for this video. I'm so happy you got to go. I'm visiting in April, hopefully on the anniversary to attend a vigil. I was only 5 years old at the time, but I've learned about this and it's one thing that has had the biggest impact on my life. It made me think differently about life and not take anything for granted. I feel the least I can do is visit and pay my respects. I got super excited to see this uploaded because I've been wanting to go for years :)
Adam, your respect and compassion for the students and families who suffered so much on that terrible, terrible day, was yet another example of why I appreciate what you do. You are, my friend, a bright light in a world that often goes too dark.
The little fellow was so talkative because he was warning his other pals about your presence and probably telling you if you stepped closer he would have to maul you in the face.
Hey there, yeah, I have to admit that part with the small animal seemed quite obvious actually. Personally, I would have backed away pretty well immediately apon seeing that behaviour. However, it's possible that Adam was indeed quite affected by where he actually was, and what he'd just seen, that he needed to immerse himself in something seemingly innocent, which is REALLY understandable to be honest.
My little girl is High school and this is something i worry about every day. I remember watching this on T.V. Awesome tribute Buddy.
Well done Adam, you did this one up right!
that was really cool, taking the time to read to us from the memorial. you are such an incredible gentle soul, that it what sets you apart from so many other vloggers. I hope that never changes.
ADAM YOU DID A WONDERFUL JOB WITH THIS VLOG
I know the feeling of finally going there. I did that in 2004. I’m an ‘81. A couple weeks ago on the 25th anniversary I got an opportunity to go inside the school. Man… the chills. It’s like hollowed ground. They were having a memorial concert in the auditorium. I couldn’t believe I was actually there. I kept staring at the metal railing that goes upstairs. It’s still the same. There were a lot of young people there who were performing that night in the Columbine choir and band. I’m glad they weren’t born then and can walk around without the feelings I get. There’s always been prairie dogs at Clement park. In other areas around Denver that aren’t condo projects etc, prairie dogs are common. I had not been to the actual school since maybe 2011. It never feels very welcoming since it seems like anyone could he watching you through the windows. Even on the weekend. I wouldn’t dare go there on a school day. They might be nice like they were to you but they honestly don’t like random people wandering around.
I can not believe it was 17 years ago. Thank you for showing us around. So sorry to everyone who had to go through this horrible day.
i think your dad inplaced a special peace of his heart because how can you have so much fillings about things the softnest that you display touchs me in a way that make me fill a filling i normally dont fill or let in thanks i needed that you showed me this filling more then once
Rip to those killed that day
Quite simply your vast video yet dude. Why? Not because of the subject matter but because of the way you dealt with it. You show versatility, maturity and a great level of creativity. You truly have gone on to the next level of vlogging. Personally, I don't see any difference between your videos and those produced for broadcast television. Keep up the outstanding work dude.
Thank you Adam....life does goes on but we should never forget.
This is why I've been an Adam The Woo fan going on 4 years strong now. Content like this is absolutely wonderful Adam!. Thank you so much for sharing this and for honoring those that lost their lives on that tragic day.
I was in high school myself. I remember seeing the coverage of the shooting when I got home from school. I was impacted in a non direct way, knowing some one who knew Rachel Scott, being the person who broke the news that she was among those killed. Forever changed me. I heard Craig’s story of survival in the months after. Never have forgotten this day.
Adam, the permanent crosses are in a cemetary a few miles east of CHS. Corey and Rachel's graves are right next to them. Those kids would be about 35 now, some with kids of their own. And many of their friends who were wounded still carry the scars. What a waste.
Adam, thank you for doing this well done tribute. I really appreciate how you read each of their memorials. My grandson is a sophomore in high school where they do lock down drills. The shootings at Georgia Tech happened in April 2007 only 9 years ago. Georgia Tech is located about an hour from us and had a big impact on our area. Hard to believe that 33 were killed that day. Columbine reminds me so much of what happened at Virginia Tech.
Nancy Kellum 13, 33 dead all Masonic occult numbers ...these were blood sacrifices
the teacher who died at columbine graduated from my high school. the basketball court is named after him. Great video.
I cannot thank you enough for bringing us there. I didn't even know that was there. What a great video Adam. Puts life into perspective and focus. Thank you 😊!
In 1980 I was a Marine cadet and we had a drill team; for a school project, I did a demo to the class with an inert but very realistic rifle, which I brought to school in a gun case and left it at the principal's office before and after the demo. It was a different world then. "School shootings" wasn't even in our vocabulary. R.I.P. to the victims here, they deserved a better fate.
I'm glad that you took the time to honor the ones that were killed. I think you did it in a very respectful way. Good job Adam!
I'm 39 and I remember that sad day well, thank you for sharing your visit.
Those prairie dogs were cool........and looked like they wanted some coffee cake
Adam I'm sure people who were there so much appreciated your video.
The government should have torn that school down.
They still should. Those children that attend there see the whole thing in there minds everyday. I'm sure they know the exact places where each person was found. Even adults are bothered by those things. I'm sure they have a hard time finding teachers. But the babies are forced to go. I'm sure it has caused mental problems that they will carry all their lives, even the children that attend there today.
The building needs to be removed.
The worlds excuse for saving money is...
The children will get over it because they need to know the world has its problems.
No they don't. There are different levels of problems and some things are just too much for all ages but mostly children need to be protected till they are old enough to know.
So respectfully and tastefully done
You did this very thoughtful and very respectful. Professionally done. Thanks Adam......love.
Some people look at 4/20 as a good day for certain reasons i won't go into-in actuality quite a bit of bad things have happened throughout history on that day.
zudemaster, You mean like the birth of Hitler?
Whump tapus
That plus several other bad things have happened on or around 4/20. Deepwater Horizon oil well explosion, Waco siege and the Oklahoma City Bombing to name a few.
zudemaster also mother 2 release
+zudemaster OKC and Waco were on April 19
Because it is National Weed day for some
May they all rest in peace, you have a big heart Adam. God bless
I remember the Columbine incident. Really sad. Thank you for showing us the memorial and sharing excerpts from each persons marker. : ( On a lighter note, I'm glad you found your glasses though! : ) Keep up the Majestic festooning!
Morning Adam! I can remember the horrible day off 1999 from here in UK. My prays go out to the Victims and there familys. God bless them, and United States of America. And I enjoy watching your Vlogs everyday.
Famous last words that never happened. Same with Cassie. It was a girl named Valeen who got asked about god.
Agree. It's a little sad the way they've let their religion twist reality like that.
Except it did happen coming from the words of Richard Castaldo who was laying beside her as she was executed. They asked about her religion and she said “you know I do”.
@@0311tard No she didn't. That's America's obsession with Hollywood twisting reality, again.
fcukugimmeausername were you there that day? Where you beside Rachel when it happened? Were you the one who heard everything that was exchanged between her and the gunmen? Didn’t think so.
@@0311tard No, but I can smell bullshit a mile away.
That day of Columbine. I snuck onto the 8th grade field trip to Disneyland. I was not allowed to go. I got caught and my dad had to pick me up. He took me to Bob's big boy to hear about the Columbine shooting. It was on the radio there and on their tv. I will never forget that.
The Families know we will remember the good, kind and real people and forget the evil.
Respect is never out of style, Send love Adam.
Thanks for this one Adam! Welcome back Denver by the way. I recall this day well, two co workers were at each other. One lost a nephew, and one defended the two shooters as they were friends of her kids. Was sad to watch that go down in the wake of it all. Sadly we had a second shooting not to far down the road from us in bailey. It really makes you worry about your kids when they go to school. No where is safe anymore. As always, thanks for putting the vlogs up for all of us to watch.
No politics,no exploitation,just a calm,respectful presentation. Very nice.
I'm a man from Italy and I'm a fervent, passionate man about the American culture. In 1999 I was a 15-years-old guy and I remember the moment I saw the terrible news from the Italian media. I was in the same age of many of the columbiners and the poor victims of this tragedy. That day I broke down in tears watching the terrible images from the media. 25 years from the massacre flew away and I'm upset the same way. Thank you for this video, watching to that it's like I was there. I'm still not having the possibility to travel in the US and take a visit to the Memorial but I'm there with my sould and my heart. My heart is full of tears for the victims that lost their lives and their families. I ask sorry if my English is not very good, I hope I was able to express my thoughts correctly.
hard to believe it has been 17 years already. i was a junior in high school when this happened. i think everyones school changed that day. such a sad and senseless loss of life. unfortunately it isn't getting any better as the days go by in this tough old world.
i want to thank you adam for all the vlogs you do. every morning my son and i watch your vlog and for those 12 or so minutes all the troubles of the world disappear.
I was only 9 when Columbine happened but I remember the fallout vividly. I went to a small, private christian school and I can remember having a candlelight vigil for the columbine students, and a book i used to read all the time was "Rachels Tears", it was written by the parents of Rachel Scott using some of her journal entries. At 9 years old I realized the true pain and loss that these people went through, seems every generation loses their innocence earlier and earlier. Great video Adam, a nice way to pay your respects.
Love this channel. Thanks for the uploads xx love from the uk xx
Ok Adam, you made me cry. Excellent tribute! Denver is my favorite place in the whole world and I'm planning on moving back. I moved there the first time in July of 1999. This tragedy was still fresh in our minds. On a lighter note my daughter had a "pet" prairie dog when she was 18. I ended up caring for it, for a while. That chirping you heard him doing was he "alerting" his friends there could be danger. They are very social creatures. He would chirp and alert me in the middle of the night if he heard something. They can be mean little devils and they are not tame... He finally got a home with other prairie dogs. It was a good move for him, since they are so social.
Whoa that was a rough video! Great job man!
I just wanted to say this is awesome of you to do! I graduated from Columbine a few years ago and it's rare to see videos on RUclips of people actually paying their respects to the 13 that were lost! I'm a definite subscriber to you sir! Thank you!
Well done Woo.
You sir are one of the most genuinely compassionate and awesome souls I know...even though I don't really KNOW you. The circle of goodness is strengthened because of this episode...thank you x
That hit me right in the "feels" Adam (The teacher's quote at the end made me even shed a tear or two). I remember the day after more I was still in High school at the time but even though my school was in Florida everyone who was in school the day after that event was still in shock that it could and did happen. Most got paranoid of other students who were wearing trench coats to school (because this was in April much of the cooler weather was gone replaced by being hot, it didn't make sense to most why they were wearing them. So, they jumped to the conclusion that they might be in the trench coat mafia.) Others (like me) started to wonder what they could do if it did happen and topics like that (It was kinda scary to think about, since I used to hang out nearly every lunch period in the Library on our own campus). But all were for the most part sadden by the tragic event. As I got older and a few more of these popped up I did more research into these types of events to try and get closure on it I guess. It kinda of helped but mostly made for more questions like "What can we do to keep this from happening again and again?" Most people don't have answers to these types of questions, I don't really think we will have just one easy "fix" to this problem but many.
I was there the day after...in 1999.
(Manitou Springs, Co. class of 99)
my friend and I made a huge banner, when we arrived...many people had done the same thing.
So tragic, but to see so many come together.
Thank you for visiting, that view up on the hill gave me chills.
It was refreshing to hear and remember the victims. Great job
Thank you for posting this vlog. So meaningful. The little prairie dogs were adorable too.
Awsome Vlog Adam, as a tear rolls down my face
Those prairie dogs reminded me of the little toy dogs that would yip and then scoot forward about a foot and yip some more. Thank you for sharing. I've never seen this memorial. God bless these families.
One of my dad's friends knew the teacher that died. Misty eyed. Adam the Woo's Wild Kingdom.
Wow, from what I researched he was a true hero, putting his life in danger to save the kids
I was born and raised in the southern suburbs of Denver. I was home sick that day and I watched the horrors unfold on TV. My brother-in-law graduated from Columbine in 1997, he gave me his old varsity lacrosse jacket that I proudly wear. In 2012, I lost a good friend in the theater shooting. I now have my internship at the library across the street from the theater. I still get upset when I see that building.
I remember hearing about the shooting first on the bus ride home from school. It was my senior year, so I didn't experience the full effects in the years since, but the mood around school was different. I'm sure behind the scenes they had to make changes to our graduation since our class size was over 800.
I visited Columbine a few years ago and police didn't bother stopping us... but of course we didn't try visiting during school hours loitering about with a camera visible while students are walking around.
