It's a coping mechanism. He proves this by smirking and telling everyone how badly he's been damaged. That was not a sly smirk, that was a smirk to cover up how he truly felt about it but his words were fairly clear. It was horrific and I couldn't imagine being in a room while people are slaughtered all around me wondering when it's my turn. Horrific.
      That being said, I'm absolutely certain you did not need to suggest this. He's been through one of the worst mass shootings in history, he's got plenty of help.

I had to run, I had to hide, I had to watch victims come out of the school I was in covered in blood, I saw teachers covered in blood, I heard the gun fire, I heard the screams, I laid in a ditch for what felt like hours before crossing a major road to safety.

    The Columbine survivor says how she feels she was spared because maybe Dylan remembered how she was nice, which I believe 100% because the boys also spared John Savage. Megan Kelly totally ignores that and asks how the shootings can be stopped. Well Megan, obviously people need to change and be kinder to each other. I do believe it's as simple as that. Sadly everyone looks over that.

      Dylan was too far gone, Eric groomed him to be a cold blooded killer. They wanted to go down in history,shake America to the core, & set the trend for copycat shooters(they did). If Dylan felt any regret he didn't show it by sparing pp Eric also told his frined Brown to leave(the same friend he gave many death threatsfor trivial matters). Dylan & Eric just got bored in btwn and started shooting lockers.They killed indiscriminately and after Eric broke his nose, their bombs failed(they put bombs in the caferteria to kills the students,news reporters, cops, & parents) they ran out of time. Also 100 witnesses testified there werew more than 2 shooters

      Acharmye witnesses testified there were more than 2 shooters because they both eventually took their jackets off so people got mixed up about their identities and thought there were more people, cloaked and un cloaked. When in reality it was only the 2 of them

    With the twin girl who was in the library who was spared. Perhaps, and I am being honest, if it had been Eric looking under the table rather than Dylan perhaps she would not have been so lucky. Eric was pretty cold in his approach to everything. I am sure the fate also of his broken nose/bleeding bothered Eric or he may have taken more lives. The two from the theater and that making of the movie. Don't think I concur with that or even their direct involvement that evening of the shooting. They were in the next theater.
