Benefit? THEY'RE THE NEW WORLD ORDER!!!
(I'm sorry, I just want to post some crap here before this thread gets
locked. )
What is the New World Orders actual goal supposed to be anyway? Evil for Evil's sake?
And sorry, I've never even heard of it before.
It's just because of your Username, Baldricks are what they call demons in The Salvation War.
What if the Government was Behind the Columbine Shooting in April 1999?
Did anyone actually read the OP? What do the first two words say?
What If.
Those two words rather strongly imply that the government was NOT behind the Columbine shooting.
The OP author is guilty of writing a rather vague and poorly written OP, but that's it, and by no means warrants this rather crass dogpile.
I read the OP. While its surface structure seems harmless enough, its deep structure implies government complacency in Columbine.
And even its deep structure does, the reaction has still been overboard, especially the calls for bans. As you said, it implies. It is, by itself, by no means sufficient evidence to convict the OP of being a conspiracy theorist. They may very well be, but I'm quite fond of the concept 'innocent before proven guilty', and nothing even remotely approaching proof has been presented.
If the government is willing to stage a shooting, why not create a fictional nation so the US could chop off Panama to build a canal in the 1900's? Or could be a misspelling.
My cousin was present at Columbine and could easily have been killed if he hadn't gotten out the nearest door. Sorry if I'm a little sore on the topic being made a stupid political weapon.
