Dr. Ew's Take on Columbine and the "Gothic Movement"
As we all know, Tuesday (20. Apr. 2004) marked the 5th anniversery of the Columbine killings.  It also marked the anniversery of the "Gothic Movement."  Now you may be thinking to yourself, "What was the Gothic Movement?"  There really was no "Gothic Movement."  It was just something that the news media made up to get ratings.  Thanks to the liberal news media, as well as reporters such aas Dianne Sawyer, Brian Ross, and Denver Police Cheif Steve Rickard, the "Gothic Movement" was all that the news was talking about for the days following the Columbine Massacre.  Sure there were Goths (I'm one of them.  Do you see me killing anybody?), but the Columbine killers were not Gothic.  According to Matt Drudge (www.drudgereport.com), who, in my opinion, is the only source of news that doesn't sensationalize his stories, the Columbine killers were not influenced by musicians such as Marilyn Manson, Ramstein, or KMFDM.  They only wore black trench coats because they "liked wearing them" (www.drudgereport.com Note:  type "Goth" in the search engine.  It's the only article there.).  The report on 20/20 (columbine.free2host.net/links/goth.html) is completely manufactured and false.  Granted I cannot speak for all of the Goths in the world, but most of them have not killed before.  Also, not all Goths dress in black.  Other Gothic colors include red, green, and even white.  Goths are not usually associated with death and the dark side.  Most Goths are Romantics.  Goth gangs are really nonexistant. And another thing, if anything Goths are against hate.  These reporters and Cheif Rickard ahould really have thought before they lert that piece of crap air on TV.  If Goths are made fun of because of the way we look, then don't you think we wopuld sympathize with blacks, jews, and other groups of people who have been discriminated against.

Would I consider the Columbine killers martyrs?  Definitely not!  Granted they spoke for the little guy, but they spoke out of hate.  I personally visited the website of one of the Columbine killers before I typed this up (so don't think I didn't do my homework first), and that website had a lot of references to Hitler, as well as mentions of his hatred towards certain ethnic groups, as well as his hatred for preps.  Think about the date they performed the attack.  It was on Hitler's birthday.  Doesn't that tell you anything?

Now I'm not saying I support Michael Moore (even though I found "Bowling for Columbine very funny for a "documentary"), but I will say this.  20/20, ABC News, CNN, NBC News, and CBS News is a ton of bullshit.

In sumation, the "Goth Movement" was just a fabricated event made up by the liberal news media as a way to attract viewers and get higher ratings.  The Columbine killers did what they did out of hatred for more than just popular people.  They were not Gothic.  They did not deserve to be glorified, not do they deserve martyr status.  They were just two stupid kids, who built up their anger too much, and snapped.  If you are (or know someone) from the news media, and would like to rebut my argument, feel free to
send me an e-mail, and I would be happy to listen to your argument.  Lastly, if you call me Trench Coat Mafia, or tell me not to shoot, there WILL be consequences.  I'm sick and fucking tired of hearing it.
