[edit]Unlike the other entries, there is only dubious circumstantial evidence to support the idea that she was going to commit an attack. Lots of people go to Columbine out of fangirling/interest, and lots of those people also collect firearms. As bad as it looks from the outside, it does not at all surprise me that someone on a "Columbine-themed trip" might do both (one as a pilgrimage, one as a souvenir) without intent to re-shoot-up Columbine (if she were going to commit a copycat attack, she would likely have left some material saying so, since the hope of the Columbine shooters was to "kickstart a revolution" and inspire others, and she, as a fan, would want them to have credit). 98.234.96.130 (talk) 04:33, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
Suggest changing criteria
[edit]I suggest changing the criteria for this list. The interest seems to be in mass school shootings, which generally do not include petty teenage rivalries over a girl, or competition between two boys for other reasons. Warfare and state-initiated attacks related to political activities should be excluded. If the underlying interest is the rise in mass school shootings in the US and other nations in the late 20th century, which individual articles already attract great attention, let's focus the criteria. There is a chilling article about school shootings in this week's New Yorker, Malcolm Gladwell's "Thresholds of Violence", relating the rise in mass shootings (which seems to be the underlying interest in why these list article were founded) to studies about how riots develop - and attract different people as they roll along (including people who would never have been part of the initial violence). A list with a focus on mass school shootings in the United States, rather than every act of violence that happens to take place at a school, might be able to make use of such research and give readers more to think about.Parkwells (talk) 13:20, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
