:47:01
Because that's not the way
the media wants to take it

:47:04
and spin it
and turn it into fear.

:47:06
'Cause then you're
watching television,

:47:08
you're watching the news; you're
being pumped full of fear.

:47:11
And there's floods,
there's AIDS, there's murder.

:47:13
You cut to commercial,
buy the Acura, buy the Colgate.

:47:17
If you have bad breath,
they're not gonna talk to you.

:47:20
If you got pimples,
the girl's not gonna fuck you.

:47:23
It's a campaign of fear
and consumption.

:47:27
And that's what I think
that's it's all based on,

:47:29
is the whole idea that:
keep everyone afraid,

:47:32
and they'll consume.
And that's really as simple

:47:36
as it can be boiled down to.
- Right.

:47:38
If you were to talk directly
to the kids at Columbine

:47:40
and the people
in that community,

:47:42
what would you say to them,
if they here right now?

:47:45
- I wouldn't say
a single word to them.

:47:47
I would listen to what
they have to say.

:47:49
And that's what no one did.
:47:51
- I'm Nicole Shleif.
- And I'm Amanda Lamontagne.

:47:54
- And you went to Columbine?
- Yes.

:47:56
- And you were with
Eric and Dylan?

:47:59
In their class?
- Yeah,

:48:01
we were in their bowling class.
- In their bowling class?

:48:03
- Yes.
- What's bowling class?

:48:05
- Just an elective you can
take for a gym credit.

:48:09
- Where's the educational value
of this, though?

:48:14
- Um... I guess
there isn't really any.

:48:16
- No, there's not.
:48:18
- I learned how to bowl a lot
better, that's for sure.

:48:22
- What were Eric Harris
and Dylan Klebold like?

:48:25
- Weird.
- Yeah?

:48:27
- I mean, not very social.
:48:29
- I didn't really know
who they were.

:48:31
- Not very social, just
kinda kept to themselves.

:48:34
- How good a bowlers
were Eric and Dylan?

:48:37
- When we played them,
:48:39
all I remember is they
were just, like, crazy.

:48:42
They would just chuck the ball.
- Chuck it down there.

:48:44
- Throw the ball down; didn't
really care how they bowled.

:48:47
- Yeah, they didn't really
care about their scores.

:48:49
Deputy Sheriff Steve Davis - What were
the suspects doing the morning of attack?

:48:52
I told you that I'd heard
that they were bowling;

:48:53
that's the only thing
I'm aware of.

:48:55
- So did Dylan and Eric
show up that morning

:48:58
and bowl two games
before moving on
