False Assumtions of Columbine?

While I'm not neccesarily defending these guys, does anyone else think it's bogus to \"edit\" their motives ten years after the shootings at said school happen? While it might sound heinous at first glance to say, Eric and Dylan's act spurred a change in the way people were treated in not only that school but many others. I think USA Today is trying to villify the guys even further than they have been for nothing more than ratings...

I think a lot of their motives were \"edited\" in the first place -- a lot of people ten years ago were guessing. I think we get a much better picture of their motives from their actual writings than from the speculative crap that was all over the news in the weeks following the shootings.
