On April 20, 1999 two teenager walked into Columbine High School and started shooting. Many years later we commemorate that event annually with prayers, moments of silence and laying down flowers, but then the next day it is back to life as usual. When a student is given an assignment in his political science class to observe the news and come back to class to discuss it. Unfortunately for this student the assignment became an obsession and then an experiment. How many guns could he buy? How many eyebrow raising t-shirts could he wear to school? How many times could he tell his parents that he was thinking about hurting people? How many guns could he bring to school and show off to his classmates before someone said something? On the final day of the experiment he packs his backpack with the guns and ammo that he bought, walks into the school and shares his experiment with his class. Is he making a statement that speaks to gun control in America or did he just take his experiment too far? He never hurts anyone, never puts anyone in danger but what he did do was show how easy it was to live under the radar even if you are trying not to. This story shows us that we have to open our eyes, we have to see what’s there and say something when we do.
