April 21, 2008Ask the Critic: Vegetarian death march
Okay, so say you've got a friend. And this friend, for whatever reason (religious aversion, misguided sense of moral outrage, PETA brainwashing), has chosen not to eat meat. Still, you, as a proud carnivore, want to go out somewhere where both of you can have a decent feed. This week's question? Where do you take said pasty, twig-and-berry vegetable eater? Personally, I have no idea. Because I'm a dick, I would say take 'em to the Columbine and make them eat nothing but the iceberg salad and w

May 4, 2000The connection between the Columbine massacre and terror attacks in Mumbai
A report that suggests an aroma for CSU perfume -- the topic of today's blog "Colorado State University Smells Like... Deer and Locker Rooms?" -- wasn't only the unusual mention of this state we're in on National Public Radio yesterday. An unexpected local reference popped up in "Mumbai Attacks Offer New Lessons on Terrorism," whose text version is accompanied by the photo seen here. Among the experts consulted for the piece is Miami Police Chief John Timoney, who says the assaults in Mumbai w

October 7, 2004Wake-Up Call: Columbine, redux
There have been other school shootings in the ten years since Columbine, horror scenes with even bigger body counts. But for some reason, Columbine is the crime that resonates; "Columbine" is the word that keeps getting repeated in the tales of similar plots -- some carried out, some foiled. It was repeated again in a British court yesterday, where two teenagers were charged with plotting to bomb a school and a shopping center on April 20, the tenth anniversary of the killings at Columbine.
March 24, 2009Shmucks of the Week: Brophy and King
It's coming up on the ten-year anniversary of the Columbine High School murders -- so what better time to introduce a bill in the state legislature that would ease a restriction on certain people who want to buy firearms? The bill, pushed by Republican senator Greg Brophy of Wray (pictured) and Republican representative Steve King of Grand Junction, would waive the background check requirement for anyone who has a concealed-carry permit. Who opposes the bill? Police chiefs and sheriffs who b

One of Dylan Klebold's pipe bombs. A film crew from Munich-based FOCUS TV Produktions was in our southwest suburbs during the past few days, interviewing people whose lives have been altered by the Columbine shootings ten years ago -- school and police officials, parents and survivors of the massacre, journalists and others. The program plans to air a lengthy segment on the tragedy on April 17. Media from around the world descended on Littleton a decade ago (including an unusual number of Jap

February 10, 2000Columbine tenth anniversary coverage: massive, well-intentioned, mostly unenlightening
A word that applies to the vast majority of the stories I've seen, heard or read about today's tenth anniversary of the killings at Columbine High School is "obligatory." Although fewer commemorative efforts have appeared on April 20 in recent years than in the immediate aftermath of the bloodshed caused by students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, everyone knew the trend would be reversed at the decade mark, and that's certainly been the case. Every local newscast I saw yesterday and this morni
April 20, 2009Alex Youshock bombing and the legacy of Columbine
Alex Youshock.Alex Youshock, an appropriately named 17-year old, has been identified as the person arrested yesterday for bombing his old school, San Mateo's Hillsdale High; no one was injured in the attacks. And predictably, the word "Columbine" figures in much of the coverage, even though no reference by Youshock to the 1999 attack on that institution has surfaced at this writing. Some pieces make specific use of the term, as in this report from the San Mateo Daily Journal, which notes
August 25, 2009Sky News on the Columbine connection to British teens' trial
Another month, another high-profile reference to the 1999 Columbine High School massacre. Yesterday marked the start of a trial in London focusing on Matthew Swift, 18, and Ross McKnight, 16, who are accused of planning to blow up their school. This scheme would have triggered memories of Columbine under any circumstances: Witness coverage last week about Alex Youshock, who was busted for bombing his California high school (no one was injured). But in this case, the mentions aren't gratuitous:

The Columbine Steak House, home of the last $10 steak.Da Capo's Best Food Writing 2009, is out, and once again it includes a piece from Jason Sheehan: "The Last of the Great $10 Steaks," his wonderful Westword review of the Columbine Steak House. Here's a taste: The smell of cheap steaks burning on a grill, of char smoke on the spring air mixing with the smell of hyacinth and burley-and-bright. That will always remind me of my dad, of my mom watching him through the little window in th
September 3, 2009The Fort Hood tragedy and echoes of Columbine
Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the alleged Fort Hood shooter.Whenever there's a mass shooting of the sort that burst out at the Fort Hood military base in Texas yesterday, the vast majority of people who lived in the Denver area in 1999 immediately flash back to what happened at Columbine High School that April. It's not a choice. It's an involuntary response that lingers whether or not there are parallels between the new incident and Columbine -- which, in this case, there are. A similar numb
