Your message wasn't lost on everybody
I'd seen a negatory comment or two regarding why anyone might make such a short seemingly sympathetic to characters like the Columbine killers. Truth is, like it or not, they were victims, too, in their own way. People may not like to hear that, but it's just the plain and simple truth. Their actions weren't justified, that isn't the message I got, but their actions didn't just emerge from a vacuum. Something hurt them, something not of their own making (namely other kids, self-righteous punks who thought it was their god-given right to persecute people for being different). Don't feel sorry for them, I don't, but don't pretend like they alone created the situation that set them off.
