Chicken Soup with Columbine survivor Evan Todd...

Evan Todd was a student at Columbine High School who narrowly avoided being killed by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold on April 20, 1999.

Evan Todd's rant:

"Evan Todd, the 255-lb. defensive lineman who was wounded in the library, describes the climate this way: "Columbine is a clean, good place except for those rejects," Todd says of Klebold, Harris and their friends. "Most kids didn't want them there. They were into witchcraft. They were into voodoo dolls. Sure, we teased them. But what do you expect with kids who come to school with weird hairdos and horns on their hats? It's not just jocks; the whole school's disgusted with them. They're a bunch of homos, grabbing each other's private parts. If you want to get rid of someone, usually you tease' em. So the whole school would call them homos, and when they did something sick, we'd tell them, 'You're sick and that's wrong.'""

Evan Todd's rant from Time Magazine reinforces the impression that Harris and Klebold belonged to the group known as scapegoats. Pay close attention to his statement, "If you want to get rid of someone, usually you tease' em." Harris and Klebold were not party crashers. They were high school students. Where did Evan Todd expect them to go and why did he believe he had the right to send them away? I found it ironic that a community that demands absolute conformity would choose to name their football team the "Rebels." If your son or daughter is chosen to be the school scapegoat, it's because they were into voodoo dolls and unapproved hair styles. And they were of course...homosexual.

The Columbine Massacre was not a mystery. It was simply an embarrassment to a community whose character is defined by a most vicious bigotry.



Today Evan Todd is some sort of motivational speaker.

I'm so inspired. How about you?
