A short tribute to those who were, and continue to be, affected by the tragedy that took place 13 years ago yesterday at Columbine High School:
Today, April 21, 2012, is bright and sunny here in Colorado. Back in 1999, I'm told the day after was cold, drizzly, and rainy. I wasn't even aware. My entire being was focused on whether or not my daughter would survive.
The photo is of a Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputy on horseback in Clement Park near Rebel Hill where an impromptu Columbine Memorial began to develop. The identity of the kneeling individual is unknown.

Good for her. She tried to work with authorities, and isn't backing down even though they were useless.

Fake Facebook page set up for Alex Boston with a profile photo distorted to make her look bloated.

Teen Sues Over Facebook Bullying

Fake Facebook page set up for Alex Boston with a profile photo distorted to make her look bloated.
A teenager in Georgia has decided to take things into her own hands after her school and police said they could do nothing about the classmates bullying her on Facebook.
Fourteen-year-old Alex Boston and her parents are filing suit against two classmates and their parents for libel after the two classmates allegedly created a fake Facebook account in her name, using a photo of her that they distorted. The account was also used to post a racist video to YouTube that implied that Boston hated African-Americans, and to leave crude comments on the Facebook pages of other friends, suggesting she was sexually active and smoked marijuana.
Police in Georgia advised Boston and her parents to file a complaint with Facebook, requesting that the fake account be taken down.
But after several requests to Facebook failed, Boston and her family decided to sue the teens allegedly responsible for the account. Facebook only deleted the account about a week ago after the lawsuit was filed and a story about it aired over the weekend on CNN, Woodward said.
