:14:01
they will revolt, with anger,
:14:05
with merciless anger.
:14:07
There'll be blood
running in the streets.

:14:10
When a government
turns tyrannical,

:14:11
it is your duty to overthrow it.
:14:15
- Well, why not use Gandhi's way?
:14:16
He didn't have any guns,
:14:18
and he beat the British empire.
:14:20
- I'm not familiar with that.
:14:27
- Oscoda has a bad habit
of raising psychos.

:14:28
Bad habit of it.
:14:30
- This is Brent.
:14:31
And this is his buddy DJ.
:14:34
They live in Oscoda, Michigan,
:14:36
across the bay
from the Nichols farm.

:14:38
Eric Harris,
:14:40
who would later go on
to commit the massacre

:14:42
at Columbine High School
in Colorado,

:14:44
spent part
of his childhood here.

:14:45
Eric lived on
the air-force base in Oscoda,

:14:50
where his dad flew planes
during the Gulf War.

:14:53
Twenty percent of all the bombs
dropped in that war

:14:56
were from planes
that took off from Oscoda.

:14:59
I asked Brent if he remembered
anything about Eric.

:15:03
- I never knew him,
but I knew of him.

:15:05
He left here before I got here.
I've only lived here seven years

:15:08
off and on.
- He was about the same age

:15:10
as you, so you must have people
in your class--

:15:12
- A friend of mine knows him,
he was in class with him.

:15:15
He's lived here all his life.
:15:17
- I went to school with him
and it shocked me to hear it

:15:20
on the news.
:15:21
That especially a kid from here
would be doing that.

:15:25
- I didn't last too long
in high school.

:15:27
I got kicked out,
I got expelled.

:15:29
- Why was that?
- I had a run-in with a kid

:15:31
one time and I pulled a weapon
on him, I pulled a gun on him.

:15:35
- What kind of gun?
- Nine-millimetre.

:15:37
I could've made a mess
out of that situation.

:15:39
- Could've been worse.
- Could've been a lot worse.

:15:41
- Could've been Eric Harris.
- It could've been.

:15:43
- So they kicked you out?
- Yeah, they kicked me out

:15:45
for 380 days or 165 days,
whatever a full school year is.

:15:49
- For the longest time, that's
what my plan was, to move out

:15:53
to Colorado.
- Colorado?

:15:55
- 'Cause I've got family
out there.

:15:58
Matter of fact,
one of my uncles is a janitor
