:21:01
- Good people.
- Good people.

:21:03
- This just happens to be
a place where two young men

:21:07
made very bad,
very wrong decisions.

:21:10
And there's been international
notoriety as a result of it.

:21:13
Other than that,
:21:15
I don't know that Littleton
is a lot different

:21:17
than a whole lot
of other suburban communities.

- Good morning, Mr. Edwards,
members of the board.

:21:29
I'd like to report that
I've found the perfect location

:21:31
for our new corporate office,
South Metro Denver.

:21:34
You can see,
:21:36
I don't need these.
Because South Metro Denver

:21:39
has about the same amount
of sunshine and precipitation

:21:42
as Southern California.
It's so incredible,

:21:44
you're just gonna have
to see it for yourselves.

:21:47
How's this look, Mr. Edwards?

Home Security Consultant

:22:01
- We're south of Denver,
in a community called Littleton,

:22:04
and this house is pretty much
:22:06
your average middle-class
suburban home.

:22:09
The burglar or the rapist
is still here

:22:11
in the neighbourhood somewhere.
:22:13
And so citizens
sometimes think that...

:22:16
I have people tell me
all the time--

:22:18
- Where exactly is the burglar
or rapist right now?

:22:21
If I was to try and stab you
through this, right here,

:22:24
you're gonna have to be
really close. Right?

:22:27
- And here's the bottom line
on this.

:22:29
- What if I had a spear?
:22:30
- Now, downstairs is where
the safe-room was constructed,

:22:34
and this is a solid-core door,
a very heavy door.

:22:37
And now, the criminal
has to break through this door,

:22:40
so you've created
another barrier.

:22:42
- An axe would do it.
- An axe would do it.

:22:45
I think that Columbine
did a couple of things.

:22:48
One is that it changed how
we talk. That's the first thing.

:22:52
- How's that?
- Well, for instance,

:22:54
if I say "Columbine,"
everybody knows what it means.

:22:57
I don't have to explain to you
that Columbine...
