His many writings on the internet, often posted under the handle, “Starviego”, have introduced whole new audiences to a relatively unpublicized side of the attack, one which has been derived from the government documents related to it. In addition to working with the Columbine evidence, Rolf has also made connections between the profiles of other “random rage” spree killings such as Red Lake, Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois University. His work deserves the attention of anyone interested in any aspect of the mass shooting phenomenon which plagues society today. Rolf was good enough to talk to me and give his thoughts on the Columbine shootings and related events. By way of introduction, Rolf first began researching the case shortly after the shooting took place because he was skeptical of the official story. He later joined with other researchers on the internet, where he became a key contributor to efforts to expose the discrepancies between the official version and the facts as he and others had uncovered them. Rolf’s early research suggested that an underrepresented portion of those connected with the incident were disapproving of the official version. For instance, a Columbine parent named Christian Laplante was quoted by Extra Daily News as saying, “We can’t be so stupid as to think two teenagers did this. Two adults couldn’t have done this.” About thirteen months after the attack, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office released a comprehensive presentation concerning the conclusions of their “investigation” into it. Titled Sheriff’s Office Final Report on the Columbine High School Shootings, the Sheriff’s Official Line maintained that not only had Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, two Columbine seniors who had been found dead at the scene, been the only attackers on 4/20, but that none of their friends or associates had any foreknowledge of the plan. Soon afterward, the government began to publish their once-secret internal documents which had been generated during the various phases of the “investigation”. 11,000 Pages of Investigative Files, also known as the 11K, was released in November 2001 and gave a disturbing new window into the shootings which was a major break in the case for researchers like Rolf. The revelations spurred by the release of the 11K as compiled in Rolf’s postings led to renewed interest in the case around the internet and Jefferson County came under further pressure to release the remainder of its files. In 2003, a major boost was given when the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, which had also responded to the shooting, released a report titled Reinvestigation Into the Death of Daniel Rohrbough at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. These files expanded upon what had been presented in the 11K. According to what was now in the public domain, several witnesses to the shootings had named Columbine High School’s Trench Coat Mafia leader Chris Morris as a shooter and approximately two dozen described or named TCM member Robert Perry as the same. Still more described or named then-CHS junior and TCM member Brian Sargent as a shooter and at least one put TCM member Joe Stair on the scene that day, signficant not only due to his past threats to blow up the school but because he had graduated the year prior. In addition to these facts, several earwitnesses also told of a gunman shouting, “Joe, where are you? I’ve got three of them in here,” during the course of the siege. Many of the witnesses who ID’ed these individuals revealed that they knew precisely who it was doing the shooting because they knew them personally or from having seen them around school. The other named suspects were rounded up within hours of the attack but despite relatively weak alibis, they were let go just as quickly. The reported involvement of these others was officially addressed and dismissed in a Final Report file called “Trench Coat Mafia and Associates”. With the other suspects out of the way, the official focus would remain on the now very silent Harris and Klebold. However, if other attackers were involved as the many corroborating witnesses alleged, Eric and Dylan may not have been the only ones who committed serious crimes at Columbine. According to the Sheriff’s timeline, the shootings officially began outside the school on the west stairs next to the cafeteria. This scene was witnessed by many students who stated that it was not specifically not Harris or Klebold doing the shooting, that it was specifically other individuals whom they recognized or that it was three or more individuals. Officially, after shooting outside, Klebold made a brief, unexplained foray into the cafeteria, where he did not shoot, then rejoined Harris outside. Officially, the two then entered the school through the west main doors. However, at this time, when the cafeteria surveillance cameras are conveniently missing eight minutes of footage, many witnesses reported shooters attacking the cafeteria and other, more remote parts of the citylike campus. Although only four firearms, two shotguns and two semiautomatics, were allegedly used in the attack, many witnesses described the sound of automatic gunfire as having been heard outside and throughout the school. Also, witnesses to the alleged sale of Klebold’s TEC-9 pistol, which netted the only two prosecutions directly related to this case, those of Phil Duran and Mark Manes, described the buyer as having had acne. At no time during the 1998 to 1999 school year did Dylan Klebold have acne (January 1999 – 17 April 1999), but it was reportedly a distinctive feature of accused Columbine attacker Robert Perry. Many other points about the official version are suspicious according to evidence found in the documents. One is that some of the deaths may not have happened the way that they were officially described. Another point about the tragedy which almost everyone has bemoaned was the incredibly slow police response. Whereas most school shootings are stopped within minutes, the Columbine attack officially lasted for close to an hour despite hundreds of officers from over thirty agencies being present. Although there were reports of officers attempting to enter prior to 12:00, the first organized police entry did not come until the time when Harris and Klebold officially committed suicide. It was begun on the side of the school opposite where shots were last heard and shots continued to be heard throughout the afternoon. The explosions and gunfire which could be heard coming from within the school until up to 4 that afternoon were officially explained away as six to eight shots fired by police to open locked doors. Having armed suspects alive in a school full of innocents for three to four hours while so many officials stood outside to “secure the perimeter” could look very bad for the authorities. According to several corroborating witnesses, at least one unidentified adult was also an attacker at Columbine. His role in coordinating the attack and making sure it went to plan is unknown but for their part, the Columbine Trench Coat Mafia had been well-known to school authorities as a troublesome group for years prior to the attack. Afterward, however, almost everyone on the faculty played this down as much as possible. The phenomenon of social outsiders wearing black trench coats as a symbol of separation emerged some time in the early ’90′s. It has typically been accompanied by an interest in hateful music, drug abuse and a dabbling in the occult. Many “Columbine client” murderers have worn trench coats during their attacks. Columbine is a very high-profile mass shooting with a lot of suspicious characteristics but it isn’t the only one cast from such a mold. The Dunblane, Port Arthur and Gladio attacks, for instance, also seem to have much more to their stories than we were initially told by the governments charged with “investigating” them. One particular string of events occurred right around the time of the Columbine attack. Numerous bomb threats and plans for school shootings in Colorado and around the nation came to light just as Columbine was hitting the news. For instance, a message was left on the nearby Stein Elementary School answering system in Lakewood which stated, “Yes, I’m one of the trench coat robbers [...] and if you don’t give up ten million dollars, we’re going to kill everybody in the school.” Curiously, according to the police files from which this anecdote arises the message was left not on April 20th but the day before, April 19th. There are many very important facts about Columbine which have been deeply suppressed by the government and the media, which have access to all of the information Rolf and his colleagues have and more. Instead of honestly investigating the shooting, the government swept all the loose ends under the rug and busied itself with forcefully advancing a reactionary agenda. Meanwhile, the media contented itself with brutalizing audiences further via tasteless coverage of the attack which regularly included phrases such as “a grisly tableau of young bodies”, and “a bloodied young man dangled” and “a bullet slammed into her skull”. Many repressive suggestions for change acquired support as a result of the horror caused by the Columbine attack, from the banning of the private ownership of firearms to filling the schools with police officers operating under “Zero Tolerance” principles to forcing psychiatric behavior modification onto young children. The political fallout from attacks like Columbine seems to follow a definite pattern not just in America but internationally. If the State is involved in coverups as high-profile as the Columbine attack, it cannot jeopardize its credibility with a full confession. As such, reinvestigations typically only provide a few quality pieces of information and a lot of limited hangouts. Instead, a more widespread grassroots discussion of the suppressed evidence in crimes like Columbine may help to bring a resolution. If there had been no patsies, Columbine would have been much more difficult to disguise as a teen-generated incident. Young people should take note that there are more pitfalls and traps strewn around the social landscape today than ever before and the stakes concerning what can go wrong have never been higher. By caring for for each other and ourselves, we may be less vulnerable to exploitation by a conspiracy seeking to cause our downfall.
