    The way they killed Isaiah was absolutely terrible, Dylan called Eric over telling him there was a N word over here, Isaiah slowly backed up and the last thing he said was “I wanna see my mom”. Isaiah was the first one in his family to ever graduate highschool, he was so excited he marked everyday on his calendar until the coming day, he was buried with his gown on and his diploma. Rip Isaiah we will never forget you or any of the innocent lives that where taken that day🙏🏻

    Some of the surviving students in the library confirmed that Dylan and Eric were making racial slurs toward Isaiah right before shooting him in the face, as well as other hateful things they were saying to anyone that they approached in the library.
    It's kind of a no brainer that those dudes were racist, especially since they idolized Hitler and chose Hitler's birthday to carry out their despicable act.
    And all the people that still defend Eric and Dylan and feel that them being bullied is what drove them over the edge and that's what made them do what they did.....
    My problem with that is: Not one of those students they terrorized and senselessly murdered, not one of them were any of the ones who bullied them--so that doesn't fly with me.
    My deepest condolences to the victims families that have to relive that horrible nightmare every April 20th.

      I also recognize that I could be totally off base here, I’m not trying to spread misinformation. I made that clear. But he doesn’t seem fine, and point was to highlight how these crimes destroy families. This man seems so broken to me, and undoubtedly that’s at least partly due to the trauma he’s been through. It looked like he was holding a bottle of liquor in another video I saw of him. Again, this is not to shame him. I totally understand it and he’s a grown man, I’d never shame him for drinking. I only wish him peace and healing.
      Shame on you for being so immature and saying things I never said. I never disagreed with this man on anything he’s stated nor said his feelings were invalid. So I’m not sure why you felt the need to tag me.

      Forgiveness is what is demanded by God for us ALL to give everyone. If we don't forgive others as HE has forgiven us, then no matter what you do in this life, you will be going to hell with the same ones you can't fog8ve cause you are holding hatred and bitterness in your heart and soul and that is not what God is about. Now, I think it is a little insensitive to for interviewers to be constantly asking the victims and their families this. If they volunteer their thoughts on it then fine, but don't badger them on if and when they are gonna forgive. That is a personal journey they must take on their own and they shouldn't feel pressured to do so on command from someone. People have to work through their emotions and thoughts. Prying that everyone forgives as quickly as they can though cause it is for you not for the one who has trespassed against you. And forgiving doesn't mean you have to be friends with nor forget the wrongdoings of the past. You move on and learn from it though.

Craig always talks about the Regret he has for slamming the car door on his sister. Craig is now advocate against shooting he travels school to school tellling his story about Surviving the shooting what happened in the library what the shooters said to isaiah how the last time he saw his sister was when he got to school and slammed the car door as he got out after getting into an argument with Rachel I’ve seen videos of him speaking at schools and students would be crying hugging him telling him how sorry they are for what happened to him and his sister.

    What is closure? I am still waiting for justice in the death of my daughter's dad. It's been over 30 years and South Carolina is so racist and too slow to get trials in to the Market court system. We have traveling judges when we need judicial systems set in place just like Orlando, Florida and other large cities, town and counties. It takes way too long to go to trial and put criminals in jail. By the time a case gets to court witnesses, victims and the suspect is dead or has moved to another state or has committed other crimes. We need to have judges in all communities at all times not every 4 months or longer. These criminals need to go back to trial faster then they are doing things here. The police investigating murder, sexual assault crimes are not doing their jobs they don't care that our lives are ruined or the hurt and pain that the lack of injustice is causing us not to trust the judicial system. That sometimes vengeance is all we have left to get the justice that we deserve.

      @@nr7645 She's NOT a victim. She ignored A LOT of her son's criminal anti-social/criminal behavior both in school and out of school. Burglary, vandalism, violent stories, failure to adjust to a knew school, etc. If Columbine happened today, she might be sitting in prison with the Oxford school shooter's parents. She gets the benefit of the doubt because school shootings weren't really a "thing" back then, so it might not have occurred to her that her son might one day shoot up a school specifically, but the fact remains that she ignored so much that pointed to her child being a threat to others in some way, as he'd already victimized others.
      Also, the above comment is just pointing out how backwards this is. Look at how she's being treated, compared to an ACTUAL victim - a victim whose child was victimized by HER child. It's backwards, period. She's more like "collateral damage" - not a victim.

    I think the biggest reason compelling this man to finally break his long silence is the recent verdict that sentenced Ethan Crumbley's parents to many years in prison. The fact that this man was harassed for seeking accountability was awful... and I bet he's feeling REALLY vindicated right now knowing that there is now legal precedent to hold the parents responsible.

      I agree with you, but the prayers would actually work, if they were actually praying, instead of just saying it. It’s just lip service and they don’t mean a word of it. If they did, they’d change gun laws, so that people couldn’t buy those types of guns period. Those weapons are made to kill a multitude of people in short period of time without reloading. Why do civilians need access to those types of weapons? They can’t use them for any other reason. Hunting wild game? No. Only human hunting.

    As a Michigander I was overjoyed that the Crumbley parents went to prison. That stuff happened about 10-miles from my house and Mr. Shoels is absolutely right on - they start charging parents and parents will start keeping tabs on what their kids are doing. My condolences to all of the families and, of course, these nut cases at Columbine would have singled out one of the few black students. My condolences to all of the victims at Columbine and Oxford and all the other schools. This is a crazy world.
