Brees, weren't the perps students? My daughter lives in Highlands Ranch and coaches girl's lacrosse at a neighboring high school. She is very upset.

brees, the victims in Colorado have my sympathy, and you do too. I'm sorry the impeachment morality play didn't turn out the way you wanted. But I also doubt, very much, that had it turned out differently, it would have affected the perpetrators here much. If you want to argue otherwise, you can. Angry people do stupid things sometimes when they don't get their way, and they shouldn't do that. Flaming here is better that shooting people, anyway.

Brees, I'm saddened by the shootings and revulsed by the sarcasm aimed at you when you mentioned the killings.

One 10th-grader at the school says that he heard gunmen say "they were gonna kill all the jocks," seconds before one of them held a gun to his head. A student identifying himself as Aaron Cahon told KOA radio that he believes the gunmen belong to a group in the school known as the "Trenchcoat Mafia."

A notice posted on the Internet on Tuesday read:

"Greetings Gay Bikers,

Today, a bunch of our fellow homosexuals at Columbine HS in Denver Colorado, known as the Trench Coat Mafia, decided that they had taken enough crap from the straight community that had been abusing them and have decided to take matters into their own hands. We should all applaud their bravery and hope that they can hold out as long as possible in their fight for gay people everywhere. We can only hope that they can turn this into the gay alamo and hold out for 13 days of glory. If they can hold out for two days I think gay bikers everywhere should considering riding into Denver as a relief force to fight alongside them.

We need to show solidarity!!!

Queen Jeff"

Its tragic but it will happen again. Our society places no value on human life or values. Millions of abortions each year. Thousands of divorces. Religion expunged from our workplaces and schools. Babies having babies en masse. A "justice" system which has been perverted. A creeping "tolerance" of the filth which will eventually be the undoing of this society. The only question is whether its too late for us to reverse the tide. JLA
