Breakfast of Champions 2017 with Sue Klebold 

Yes she was also a mother, and experienced shame guilt and agony and loss all at the same time. Good for her for moving on and doing what she can to bring some positives out of this tragedy

Beautifully said!

She's trying to White Wash/Lowet her son's role in the Massacre. She points out he was a depressed follower of Eric Harris. Even though, Dylan was the first to write about killing people and giving the name NBK for the 4/20 plan.

@@maximumpayne575 Maximum Payne... she is repeating what many psychologist that have studied this case extensively have concluded. Harris was a psychopath and Klebold was the depressive follower. The FBI agrees with this analysis. I do sense a little bit of minimization on the part of her son however this isn't due to her being a bad mother/person. I suspect that this entire thing has been so incredibly painful for her that minimizing is the only thing she can use as a coping mechanism. Imagine being in her position for a second. Your son whom you think is a normal, functional human being goes on to brutally murder several people, commits suicide and then the world is blaming you for it. No parent would predict their child would do something like this on such a grand scale. We shouldn't judge her so harshly.

@@maximumpayne575 Maximum Payne... I am sure this entire thing is too painful for her brain to completely except. I am sure if she is minimizing her son's role, it isn't because she is a bad person but because it is a coping mechanism. I can only feel compassion for this woman.

Crave88evarC Agreed. I hope she knows she is loved.❤️

He was old enough to know better. His fault not hers

@@littlereddress82 he was 17 no ones fully grown then, everyone does stupid shit in that age. But he went the extra mile, no excuses for that.

Do you blame her for your terrible grammar? And btw, if your child had been assassinated that day, you WOULD blame her. Shame on you.

@@littlereddress82 he was sick with mental issues. He fail to communicate to his family. Sorry for the victims and their families. It is so sad

i feel really bad for her knowing that she'll always remember what awful thing her son did! it can't leave her mind; it's stuck their because it was her family member.💔

trevor . . . I can . . . It is actually more like confusion than it is pain . . . I can still remember falling off of the symbolic edge and wondering if I could survive the fall . . . all the time not knowing where to turn . . . what to do . . . putting one foot in front of the other . . . with no place to go ! ! !

She is just as much of a victim of her sons action as anyone. He hurt her too

@@littlereddress82 so true

@@littlereddress82if not more so in the sense that she probably feels guilty to grieve. So she lost a child as well, but probably feels like she isn’t allowed to grieve or discuss her grief about her son

So well said. Thank you!

Beautifully said, you articulate what so many people feel, I also have just read her book. I so admire her.

beingbailey x Here is a message I posted a couple months ago on one of the many Klebold videos . . . I hope this helps . . . Nickel Song (1971) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UBvSNRGWIO8.html Fifty years ago and the message is stronger than ever . . . Thirty years before nine-eleven . . . When you think about it we are all victims of our own ignorance and neglect . . . I think Sue has the right idea . . . Just struggling with the words to express that idea . . . BTDT

Lmao nice fake account sue

Wow she s desperate. I hate you sue.

I believe her, but did she knew that something was wrong when Erric had such a bad influance on Dylan? Did the family try to stop it? or did they think it was just a harmless friendship? We can't judge, cause that's what is going on now.

Mishelle Bookout I have felt the same way. I can't speak to the pain someone else has endured because it is not my life experience. But I can say with the 28 years of life experience I've had, it must have been extremely difficult for Eric and Dylan's families to not only deal with the grief of loss but also the weight of knowing that their children had a hand in the loss of so many others. It's a twofold weight to carry for them. And I continue to see anger and vitriol spat at them in comments on videos and such. Those people, God forbid, will never know what they went through and the confusion that comes with it. Everyone learns compassion differently and some never learn. I think Sue is an incredible woman and I greatly appreciate her giving of herself and her experience if it helps stop horrible things in the future. And to answer the other comment down below, the Klebolds did try to keep Dylan and Eric separated after the theft incident but it's hard to do when they attend school together. Eric was very good at putting on a show so people didn't suspect anything. Many parents of his friends were shocked that he did what he did because Eric was known to be a gentleman and respectful. As was Dylan. The difference between the two was Eric had a very hidden harsh mentality. He was cunning and very much the ring leader. Dylan, because of what he was experiencing in school, was just along for the ride. I think his life could have gone very differently had he not ever known Eric. And Eric's life may have gone differently had he not known Dylan. But, in my humble opinion, I think eventually, Eric would have shown his dark side in some way or another. He seemed almost driven to it. I also think that certain prescription medications he was rotated through added fuel to his mental fire. What works for one person, does not work for another. There are records of several anti-depressants he was put on. None were working for him and a few actually made him worse. And many of them were not meant to be taken by people younger than 25 (when brain physiology is mostly set and finished with its growth). There are so many factors in play in this case, it was nigh impossible for people to spot the red flags with the information they had 2 decades ago. I can't assign blame to any one person or institution in this case because they were only working with the information they had at that time. A lot changes in nearly 20 years and that's why it is so important that Sue is taking a stand to make what she learned along the way known to the rest of us.

Mishelle Bookout this is so true.. they have to pay for what their kids have done, and they lost their kid too, but not allowed to cry for their loss , this situation is so weird, poor woman.. she is so strong and I admire her so much. (Sorry for my english Im french) 🙏🏼

@@TheRisskee Wow, you are a very bright intelligent person. I'm very moved by what you wrote. You are so right about everything too. I have Sue Klebold's book but I haven't read it yet. Right now I'm reading No Easy Answers The Truth Behind Death At Columbine by Brooks Brown and Rob Merritt. It is really good, a powerful inside look told from a friend of Dylan and Eric's. Brooks Brown is an amazing man. To see what he had to endure with them is sad. Mostly with Eric because he was the ring leader and a very caniving dark person who fooled many!

Every time this happens they criticize the parents and say “oh it’s their fault! I would know if my kid was a fucking maniac!” As if they’re fucking super parents. It’s bullshit. That’s really easy to say when you’re not the parent of a kid who becomes a killer.

well said Aurelia!

I was a 12th grader in Pittsburgh Pa when this happened we had a moment of Silence for everyone that day in school 😢

It's scary that most of us are older than both dylan and eric now

Who was the one who spoke to her in a judgmental manner? I think it was Diane Sawyer but I'm not sure if that's her name.

@@LyricalXilence Yes, it was Diane Sawyer

How?

AdventureswithMacKenzie&Mick I think the best part about this is that she says" I love my son"

Metal Me You still didn't answer the question.

jeep23682 Chances are, none of these people that are trolling have read the book. They are just interested in creating drama and enjoy it. They may say I do like to create drama, too, well perhaps. It's only because they all piss me off so much! I have read the book. TWICE!

What a bunch of weirdos on this thread. Are you all 10 years old or what? Writing nonsense.

Well, the Harris' wish to never mention Eric again, probably because they're ashamed of their son's actions. I can understand that.

I wanna know what the note Eric left for hid mother. the 2 sided letter he wrote. He mentioned it on his AIM chatlog.

I understand what you're saying and disagree. You should keep in mind that Dylan wrote about wanting to do the massacre long before Eric did. Dylan even told his skiing instructor that he wanted to blow up the school - he was only 14.

And I wonder if the ski instructor told his parents. . I think they knew something.

He was a psychopath. There is a fuckload his own parents probably didn't even know.

Really? Do your heart goes to the families of the victims that this bitch s Monster killed?

Government don't want to admit there faults and blame the families typical

The aggressive, violent and polarized nature of society is ignored. Bullying is a major problem, and you can tell by vandalizing protests that the youth is not the most restrained in the world. Compare with polite and respectful Europe for example. This is a structural problem, nowadays even radical left narratives are mainstream in America, it is another reality. Radicalisms, bullying-like behavior, pure aggressiveness towards anyone are not disencouraged at all, if you can't address bullying and this Hollywood-inspired culture in which acting in a loud, arrogant, and mocking way towards others is applauded you will never address this too. The US is multicultural and populous and that could explain those unusual extreme acts too, the whole Europe migrated to the country, but let's just contemplate the differences between moderate Europe to arrest-seeking, vandalizing, politically intolerant liberal America, Europeans are mostly liberals too (Because their continent is stagnating and liberals are pro-establishment and resistent to changes and disruptions in any current "balance of power"), but it is still more polite, their establishment or people don't want to arrest political opponents, call anyone Nazi to demonize and attack them harshly and unjustly... the USA has many things to change. Address this bullying and aggressive behavior.

so true! diane sawyer seemed so cold and belittling of sue

@@trgiun I noticed that Diane Sawyer had a look on her face which suggested that she either had an awful smell under her nose or that she drank an entire bottle of lemon juice. Some of my friends have told me that Diane Sawyer has always been a bitch towards some of the people she has interviewed throughout her career at ABC News.

I just can't believe she never notice that he needed help

Imagine how hard this must be for all those parents who lost their beloved kids to watch her perform as a celebrity? Incredibly lame performance

​@radorad6131 she's trying to help prevent suicide and tragedies happen...

​​@@wednesdaymonroeShe can't help anyone. She won't even say sorry. She cant take responsibility for her failure. Shes not qualified to teach us how to prevent this kind of thing. She cant see her own failure, now, she hasn't reflected on this tragedy in a meaningful way.

Yes she s the Real victim poor sue

yes 15 not 13 it pisses me off when people say rip all 13

@@Yungintrovert666 as a parent, I don't think the extra two should "Rest In Peace." Many, many teens are struggling with mental health issues and have forever. It is a crisis for sure, but these acts were evil and horrendous. In my opinion, of course. I see your point, too.

Dylan needed God.

​@@AperioNortheast nah😒

ekadlover sorry for your loss was your daughter one of the columbine victims?

Metal Me no one ever said they hated her from what ive seen but they might as well. Calling her a bitch and saying she responsible for the downfall of the Klebold family and Dylan shooting people when they dont even know the woman and never encountered her in their whole life.

Males Odom Thankfully, Elizabeth was not a Columbine victim, but we did lose her.

deeagle I knew you were crazy

Pedophile creeper23862, did you say something? Oh that's what I though, again, WHAAAATEVER

I’m so sorry for your loss❤️

Moron

🤮

Once a person is a certain age they are responsible for their actions.

Get a grip. She's as much a victim of the tragedy as everyone else affected but in a completely different way.

Totally. I believe we will never really know what the hell was up with Dylan and Eric and why they did what they did, BUT - the strange clues that have been left behind in their midst help trigger an entire movement to study the human brain further and has thus helped to save many lives. There is, in my mind, a 99.9% chance that if one person could back to the past just three months before the shooting it would have been impossible to stop. The only way, I believe, was to throw Dylan into a mental institute and kill Eric like a dog. Let's face the facts: those kids were beyond sick and hopeless.

+Hunter Flores Why kill Eric like a dog? Why does Dylan always get treated like some sad simpleton that got duped into blindly following Eric? Dylan was the one whooping, yelling and laughing during the massacre like he was having the best time of his life. He even wrote months before Eric about doing an "NBK " with another student whose name has been redacted in the 11k. Dylan was just as demented as Eric but because his journal was filled with unrequited love and sadness he gets a pass? They both were hurting inside but Eric chose to hide it behind a tough exterior. .he hated to be seen as weak. Why shouldn't Eric also get the same mental health care that Dylan could of got? I was with you till that dumb remark about" killing Eric like a dog "

Looking back, I have to agree with you. I apologize.

Yes, both were human beings and teenagers not only Dylan. They both needed mental health care but I think in the '90 people were generally less educated about mental illness so it was tragically easier to undervalue the signs.

Yeah Dylan had a part time job and was getting Ok grades and had a circle of friends and went to his prom with one of them shit on paper that sounds better than a lot of teens.

Bruh then you would be a mass murderer

For what?

@@JPeraltavideos For pushing out through her birth canal two complete losers, a drug-addicted drunk and a sociopathic mass murderer?

Perhaps it should've been you in the library of that high school that day in 1999...

Agreed!

this is so very true! her was a follower when it came to Eric. he even showed fear of Eric, but he couldnt let the friendship go.

@@michelemichele5204 Dylan was actually the one who told the Brown family about Eric's threats on his website, but he told Them not to tell Eric that he told them. Dylan wasn't the sad follower you all make him out to be. He definitely knew how to manipulate Eric, he just didn't want confrontation with Eric.

@@RaaaAuti correct me if i am wrong, but i dont think i am one of the ones who feels sorry for Dylan. his mom yes, Dylan no. if he was so sweet and fragile i think he would have stopped when he saw Eric blow away the first person. and Dylan was very into the killing of the black kid. he was the one who called him a nigger ( i think, and called Eric over), Dylan was just as much into this killing as Eric. i dont think Dylan would have killed anyone, maybe himself ever if he wasnt with Eric tho. i think Eric would have been in prison for terrible things in his lifetime, but if Dylan separated himself from him i dont see him in trouble. as far as your comment above about the threat thing. i never said anything about Dylan telling the Brown's i think i remember reading that he warned them. i did however chastise the Brown;s fro not telling Dylan's mom. mrs. klebold and mrs brown made a pact to always tell eachother what troubles were going on with their kids. why mrs brown didnt tell them is a mystery, AND i think if she had it may have been the last time DYlan would have been welcome to hang with their son. (as much as they could control.) i feel sorry for mrs klebold. you never want to know, i mean really know that your kid is a monster. Dylan absolutely was! he was a bad seed. mrs klebold does apologize and acknowledge a lot about him, but deep inside she still thinks or wants to believe that he was a sweet kid. he wasnt! he had multiple chances to back out, to run from Eric. he chose to stay, he chose to kill, he chose to laugh at them, to torment them. hell, he was having a great time! thats a hard pill for any mom to swallow. she probably knows deep inside, but to actually know it outside, wow, that would be just brutal. so much damage. the kids he killed had families that will never be whole, and even for the klebolds. they lost their marriage, andit seemed like a great, and healthy one that really worked, she lost her health and got cancer, their finances went to shit. the whole family just lost themselves. probably the same for the harris's tho they healed quietly and privately.

@@michelemichele5204 Read your last comment.

+Violet Harmon I so agree with everything you have said. I just wish she wouldn't blame it all on his suicidal tendencies. There was definitely more to it than that. This boy wanted to kill people.

I agree

galefray Whatever!! There are many sensitive kids that live in this same "evil world" yet don't shoot up schools and murder people. Let's blame their sensitivity on cold blooded murder; make it not their fault!! What a load of stinky, despicable crap!!!

Goodforyouman I totally agree with you! These are bullshit excuses as to why Dylan murdered a bunch of innocent kids. Dylan and Eric were not bullied. Dylan was the byproduct of his toxic narcissistic mother. Dylan even hated his own mother with a passion and that says a lot about sue Klebold. Dylan’s mother

He was bullied you dumb ass. You probably were or are a bully and want to excuse bullying.

david myers Stop talking about yourself ..... ....dumbass. Lol

sammmyveilin How do you know the things you say, to be fact? I'm truly curious. I've been studying this case for years and I've never heard the things you say... Please, enlighten me.

Dylan tried to hook up with many girls but they all rejected him. Dylan was very unattractive. Dylan became bitter, resentful and very hateful. He allowed himself to become consumed with anger bitternes, resemtment and hatred. Dylan was consumed with rage and hate like a spoiled child throwing temper tantrums because he didn’t get his way. It had nothing to do with bullying. Dylan ended up killing a lot of innocent people all because he couldn’t get over being rejrcted or get his way. Dylan allowed his thoughts to turn into madness. I believe Sue had a lot to do with it. She wasn’t honest with Dylan. She shared her fanatasy world with Dylan. She made him belive he was extra special, very attractive and loved and accepted by everyone. She set him up. Where the mind goes the man follows.

@@enuffeznuffe1338 that's what you think but they were extremely bullied from being called gays to clowns, had thrown tampons with ketchup on them, shoved into lockers, pushed with elbows every time they'd pass, had glass thrown at them and so on which all impacted them and made them hate school and people. I'm not justifying what they've done but i can understand how they deteriorated. Even Eric wrote if only people treated them better all wouldn't of happened.. It's tragic all together how many lives have been lost but we should learn something from this and have more kindness towards people because bullying unfortunately claimed lots of lives and still does

I was seriously suicidal I managed to convince 4 people that I was fine and just a bit down they let me out and I tried to kill myself 3 hours later

@@TJSPARKLEhoping that you are better and have some solace in your life.

Leslie Boozer... I think it is a natural response and a coping mechanism for her to minimize some of his behaviors before the shooting. This is very understandable and I sympathize with her because this is a nightmare that she will have to live with for the rest of her life. People are entirely too judgemental of her.

Yes, you are one of the few who see that. Her son needed God and the joy that comes with knowing Christ personally.

It takes a lot of guts for Mrs. Klebold to do what she is doing. I agree. She has endured a grueling life and coming public, I am sure, has not been an easy thing. All the haters have come out of the woodwork. I don't envy her position. Family members and friends of the deceased have befriended her, so why should so many people hate on her? People who have no compassion whatsoever or are 5 year olds.

no, she is a con artist with a scumbag of a son.

@kukku ktrktrktr if you cant follow ALL of the conversation idiot, it is best to stay out of it. LOL

Straight E I think she might've been referring to the victims and not the shooters.

mortalbodiestimelesssouls then she should have said 13 victims and 15 Dead.

Straight E agreed

Straight E The shooters were victims to in there own way .-.

Elfish Gaming They were victims in their own way, but she was referring to the victims who were killed.
