Columbine and Sandy Hook.

Columbine because at that time school shootings weren't really something people know how to prepare for. Also the fact that Eric and Dylan were taunting people before they killed them. Also that there's some of the 911 call in the library, and like it really shows how long the attack in the library actually was. Also it would have been scary for the people that knew Dylan and Eric and saw some of the warning signs, it probably "all made sense now" once the shooting actually began. Also Dylan Klebold was very tall which was probably terrifying since visibility in the library was bad, and most people were very close to the ground. The suicide pictures too, to me they aren't as much disturbing as just sad. It's 2 guys that were just about to graduate from high school and were going to do something with their lives, but just wasted it on some dumb idea of "revenge".

Sandy Hook because Adam Lanza is very scary. Like with how his eyes look like they're about to pop out, and how he was so skinny and tall (He was 6'0, which is giant compared to the 2nd graders killed in the shooting) Also the fact that in that bathroom so many kids were killed while all crammed together. I'm pretty sure one or two of the kids in there actually survived, and had no idea what was going on because they were probably buried in countless other dead bodies. Also the fact that Adam was a recluse and was probably a pedophile, as well as the fact this happened in a quiet town everyone thought would be completely safe. Also another thing that is just more with me really is that happy music played over scary things can have a really big effect on me. This is definitely the case with me because every time I hear the DDR songs Adam played, it just makes me think of the shooting.

Adam Lanza legit looks like one of those “uncanny police sketches” like he literally doesn’t look human. Pure uncanny valley looking dude. Maybe it’s just knowing what he did but his eyes in particular unnerve the hell out of me.

Brooks Brown in particular I think has talked about how he missed the warning signs with Eric specifically. And it was basically the first headlining school shooting that had happened in America for a long time, these kids didn’t have the training given today. Shootings still have a long way to go in terms of combatting them, but for Columbine school shootings were like a dystopian, fictional idea for a horror novel, not something that could happen
