Pray for justice and pray this coverup with be stopped.

God Bless these families for perservering and staying the course in their courage quest for the truth and justice.

Investigation? How dare these little people interfere with our sacred LEO's Krispy Kreme time?

Weren't there witnesses who saw an adult male in a black trenchcoat enter the school just before the shooting started?

[cksharks]

You have never heard of DEEEEEEEEEP pockets. The shooters family does not have any money for the (GRIEVING FAMILIES).If he has a tape that showes that the cops lied turn a copy over to the people who have to call a grand jury.

If it wasn't for the actions of Klebold and Harris, 13 people would have not lost their lives that day. Many on FR will try to make this into some cop bashing and govt. conspiracy thread. But the ultimate blame belongs to Klebold and Harris, IMHO.

Same grand jury as the one investigating the Jon Benet murder??

bump for later reading.

Children who need not have died were murdered when law enforcement personnel stood outside of Columbine High School with their MP5's and shotguns stuck up their as*es rather than going into the building, risking their lifes for the children, and taking out Harris and Klebold.

As long as I live, I will not forget the images of the cops standing outside the building in groups, hiding behind vehicles, not one of them rushing inside to aid the children - A GRAPHIC PICTURE OF COWARDICE.

Yes, a grand jury to investigate the lack of action by law enforcement would be in order.

great post t-shirt.

This should come as no surprise to anyone; this is the same group of LEO cowards that cowered while children were being murdered.

Why even bother? Nothing real came of investigations into Waco and Ruby Ridge. The government always wins. Sorry, I'm just jaded.. there's so much that I can't believe has gone on in this country and it makes me sick. You can't fight the police, the FBI, the CIA, the ATF, etc.... they always cover their asses and they always come out on top.. no matter who's in the white house.

A grand jury would be an acknowledgement something is Not Quite Right here, and is a welcome development. One could hope, but in no way expect, it goes further than a grand jury burial -- unlike the one down the road in Boulder.

SWAT teams are a scourge. In the old days, street cops were trained to handle shoot-outs. The widespread use of SWAT teams has caused deadly delay in response and have unnecessarily militarized local police.

[Buckeroo]

Your post pisses me off.

Columbine High School was a result of punk kids. The police did what they could and in the process mistakes occurred. The police are not directly responsible and to the best of knowledge, they made no cover-ups about the situation.

If you want to talk about cover-ups, see Waco, TX or Branch Davidians or perhaps "government conspiracy about how to roast 87 people and laugh about it to the American People."

I am with you on this one! The whole deal stinks and the Sheriff is hiding something - and aparently has the courts with him. They blew it - time to stand up and come clean. 60 Minutes did a nice piece (for them) but didn't go deep enough. I have called the Gov's office several times asking him to open up this can of worms.

BTW it is beyond my imagination that a cop ran when somebody was shooting kids. I swear if it was me I would have fought until I was out of bullets and blood........

Thanks for posting these articles.

There was some kind of conspiracy at Columbine.

1. There was some amount of foreknowledge of these perps and their plans--the perps should have been closely watched. This in a town with a low crime rate, and not the overwhelming caseload that urban cops contend with that tends to let this kind of info go unnoticed.

2. Why did the cops not storm the building? Did no one think of putting on a custodian's uniform to get in and look like they belonged there to get intel? There was credible inside intel due to the large amount of cell phone calls by the students to the outside. One TV reporter was reporting live that they had heard from a student inside that they were hiding in a certain part of the library from the perps, and I yelled at the TV "Don't give away that info-someone on the outside might be feeding info to the perps!" There was massive armed firepower outside--doing nothing!

3. What ever happened to the tanks and tanks of propane gas found in the building and how did they get there? Two kids did that by their lonesome?

4. It was too neat that the two perps "offed" each other simultaneously in a Hollywood movie ending. In real life, one person always chickens out or misses or gets wounded. That never sounded right to begin with. It sounded like someone else took them out. Dead men tell no tales.

5. A man bled to death for almost three hours due to inaction and cowardice on the SWAT teams outside. That was inexcusable.The timeline is clear that the are he was in was secure enough to get him and his class out, but that didn't happen.

6. Clinton and Reno jumped on this tragedy likes flies on crap to extract anti gun laws--it was too close in MO to the Oklahoma City bombing--the tale of the tragedy was spun very quickly so that no one could react.

7. The Sheriff has not said a word to the investigating commission. That stinks more than anything. 13 innocents dead and he clams up. Yeah, right!

Columbine's full story has not been told.

Prosecutor rejects calls for grand jury over allegations police shot Columbine student By Steven K. Paulson, Associated Press, 1/3/2002 16:50

LITTLETON, Colo. (AP) Federal and county prosecutors Thursday refused to convene a grand jury to look into allegations that a police officer accidentally killed a student during the 1999 Columbine High School massacre.

Gov. Bill Owens said he would not ask for an investigation, and U.S. Attorney John Suthers said no federal crimes have been alleged.

''You have to believe there was criminal conduct to convene a grand jury. We have no reason to believe there was anything criminal that took place during the investigation,'' said Pam Russell, spokeswoman for Jefferson County District Attorney Dave Thomas. The parents of some of the slain
