From the outside, the massacre at Columbine High School looks...
Compared with Harris and Klebold’s ambitions, the Columbine High School attack was a complete failure. Originally planned for April 19 — the anniversary of the Waco Siege and the Oklahoma City Bombing — the attack, Harris hoped, would beat Timothy’s McVeigh’s body count in Oklahoma. He fantasized about planting bombs around Littleton and Denver, an...
