Evil Aries: The School Shooters

For Christmas 1978, Wallace Spencer gave his sixteen-year-old daughter a Ruger semi-automatic rifle, a telescopic sight, and five hundred rounds of ammunition. She had asked for a radio. Six weeks later, she opened her bedroom window, aimed across the street at Cleveland Elementary School, and started shooting. "I don't like Mondays," she told a reporter. "This livens up the day." Twenty years later, Eric Harris walked into Columbine HighSchool laughing. "This is what we always wanted to do," he told Dylan Klebold. "This is awesome." Episode 4 of the Aries Season looks at the school as a target — the first institution outside the family, the first place that delivers a verdict on your worth, the first arena where the dark Aries who has been assigned a position they did not earn and will not accept has to sit with that assignment for eight hours a day. Brenda Spencer was invisible in her damage; every system that touched her documented the crisis and did not act. Eric Harris was the opposite problem: composed on the surface, catastrophic underneath, performing normalcy with a precision the institution was not designed to see through. Same destination. Different geometry. Jillian Clemmons traces the architecture underneath both cases — and seven warning signs the system missed.Featuring: Brenda Spencer (Cleveland Elementary shooting,San Diego, 1979) | Eric Harris (Columbine, 1999).Sources: Wikipedia | San Diego Union-Tribune | NBC 7 SanDiego | CBS 8 San Diego | Times of San Diego | All That's Interesting | Jefferson County Sheriff's Office | Denver Post Columbine Report | CNN Columbine Special Report | BritannicaThank you for liking, subscribing and sharing.
