Love your work Danii! :hanging:
The kids had two hours together in lockdown to go over their stories with each other. Obviously depending on who they were with in those two hours, their stories grew legs. At least one of them sounds like they had a reefer handy in their pocket. I mean no disrespect.
A bit of Chinese whispers trying to work out details they weren't sure of in that time. It is like asking a young teen to describe the plot of a TV show. If they forget bits they make them up.
I personally don't buy any conspiracy theories that this was faked/staged to push through gun laws in Washington State.
I am more dubious about the different versions of what the lunch lady/teacher did when she intervened. We have the students saying she made contact with the gunboy, and then we are told that (presumably security video was reviewed and) she didn't touch him:
Erick again (the one that heard the most shots in a video in the above post):
Witnesses say social studies teacher, Megan Silberberger, ran up to Fryberg and grabbed his arms while he was reloading his weapon. It’s thought her brave act of heroism may have prevented a more deadly rampage.
Erick said that Ms Silberberger struggled with Fryberg for only a couple of seconds and then the gun went off, fatally injuring the gunman.

A few days later:
Officials have said Marysville-Pilchuck High School teacher Megan Silberberger ran toward Jaylen Fryberg after he opened fire in the school's cafeteria Friday. She did not have any physical contact with the shooter.
http://www.komonews.com/news/local/...statement-on-shooting-280851442.html?mobile=y

But this makes heaps of sense:
A law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation told CNN that Fryberg was indeed having trouble reloading and that it was because his hands were trembling.

IMO He must have reloaded for there to have been a bullet for him. And there is no place in this timeline for him to go outside and fire more bullets.

Note also that they say in one video that he had fought with his cousin at football practice over Jayden's ex-girlfriend who he had just broken up with. How did the press turn that around and give it legs and make up a love triangle with Zoë FFS?!!! Unbelievable. Disrespectful. Sad.

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story, though.

(My biggest fear is that the teacher pointed the gun back at Jaylen's neck as the trigger went off, and these young teenagers have been sworn to secrecy. It's a picture I can't get out of my head.)

Shaylee's memorial service is very soon. Bless them, they must be exhausted with grief. I hope it somehow uplifts their spirits.

Incidentally, the girl at the table who wasn't shot was a relative via a common grandmother - I think she was meant to go too, poor darling. MOO
 
Thanks!! Yeah it definitely seems the stories are a bit muddled up. Especially the guy who says JF walked outside and shot outside. I'm thinking the lunch lady/teacher has gotten fairly close to him and he has shot himself, perhaps from a different angle and happening so quickly the kids thought they seen her touch him. I am curious to know if he just walked in and began shooting or was sitting at the table and an argument has broke out then stood up and began shooting. I also don't buy into the conspiracy theories.

13th October- the ex SG posts video of JF asking her to Homecoming, the group with him included victim GS
14th October-Victim NH posts on Twitter "God damn Jay, he deserved it but we need you Bro!"
18th October-the ex SG posts photo of JF with the status "I love this guy. You're the s*** babe!"

20th October-JF posts on Twitter "Alright. You *advertiser censored**in got me.... That broke me"
21st October-JF posts on Twitter "It breaks me...It actually does...I know it seems like i'm sweating it off...But i'm not...and I never will be able to" he then posts again "I should have listened you were right...the whole time you were right" and again "If i just laid down..."
22nd October- the ex SG changes her profile picture to a photo of herself, Victim SC comments "Gorgeous", Victim ZG comments "Beautiful Shi", another Facebook Friend comments "His Loss. Love You"

So I'm guessing by photos posted on various Twitter accounts that Homecoming was the 19th??? This is definitely the breaking point. Amazing how much can change in 5 Days :(

I'm feeling like JF had 2 sides, a modern teen, sex crazed, popular, group of friends most of whom mention drug use on their social media accounts, then he had the cultural side where he was respectful and old school with a very cultured girlfriend who was right in with all his family who are leading members in their tribe. Perhaps the pressure was just too much and he was struggling to find the balance. I personally feel like this is something simple it could be that the night of homecoming his friends have told her about the fight at football training, flirting with another girl or maybe he experimented with drug use and the girlfriend has ended it as she appears to be quite clean cut and even rants on social media about her hatred for drugs. Because the friends have "ratted" him out, he has blamed them for the break up. I don't get the opinion about the love triangle or ZG being pregnant. ZG and AF seem very loved up.
 
Wow Dannii! I hadn't picked up on the profile picture comments.
I am of the opinion that SG may have partied with the friends, to Jaylen's distaste. I don't know how well diabetes and alcohol mix. On Twitter he alludes to substance abuse problems in her family and wanting better for her. She seems to accuse him of overprotectiveness, of being her Mom.

Did you notice JF's obsession with the show American Horror Story? He followed a whole stack of AHS feeds. I am sure this plot line is just a coincidence, but it is eerie nonetheless.

In 1994, at Westfield High school, Tate Langdon murdered 15 people with a shotgun.[SUP][1][/SUP] He also permanently handicapped the school librarian, Mr. Carmichael. In Tate's fantasies about the school shooting he wears a black hoodie, a Prussian blue American Civil War Union soldier coat and grim reaper make up. His hair is slicked back. In reality, he did wear the American Civil War Union soldier coat, but also a Black T-shirt and had his hair like he normally does. After the massacre, the "Wolverines Memorial Trust" was started in memory of the students.
During Tate's sessions of describing his shooting fantasy, he is unaware that these events are from his memory. He states that he targets people he likes.[SUP][2][/SUP]​

Speculation Warning:

I concur. In light of the fact that with the passage of time nothing more fleshed out has been revealed, in conjunction with the cloesnness of the tribe, I mianitain that this is a uncovered family secret - that was too painful for him to risk being found out by others in the tribe.

In light to the closeness of the whole community shooting family members just does work IMO. [modsnip]

It just does not work with the enitre picture that reamins today -- there is a big hole.............

IMO
The more I read, the more I am COMPLETELY CONVINCED that there was NO LOVE TRIANGLE situation. When you go back and read the comments on articles, which include many from Marysville including Tulalip Tribe members you will see that no locals agree with this idea.
 
Oh Andrew......I was so hoping and praying. RIP young one. No more pain. Prayers for his family and friends.

There had been no news for so long - I was worried about the level of disability he would be facing, on top of the pain of losing Zöe. RIP Andrew, they gave it their all to try and keep you here.
 
Not Andrew too.

I wasn't expecting this at all.

Rest In Peace, Andrew....

:(

My heart sank when I read this, really sad news
Thoughts especially with Nate who must be feeling absolutely lost and broken right now.
 
Sigh :( I just read some tweets saying he's gone. RIP Andrew.
 
We had gone so long with no updates... This was the outcome I expected but I still prayed for a miracle. RIP Andrew.

Nate's message:

"R.I.P. Andrew Martin lee fryberg I hope you like it up there and we well some day reunite. You were my other half you were my brother we were suppose to conquer this life together I can't even begin to imagine life with out you I love you so much and I well live every day thinking about you. You'll be watching over me and you'll always be in my heart nothing seems to make sense at this time the worst things always happen to the best people but now you're somewhere where no one can hurt you.

This is beautiful.
http://www.tulalipnews.com/wp/2014/...s-dream-catcher-given-to-columbine-survivors/

MARYSVILLE – Following a tradition set by survivors of the Columbine High School shooting, the Marysville School District and Tulalip Tribes were presented a dreamcatcher symbolizing survival, on November 3.
During a modified school district board meeting, representatives from Sandy Hook Elementary and delegates from the Red Lake Nation in Minnesota gave the dreamcatcher and shared their story of healing.
The dreamcatcher was gifted to Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, following a shooting that left 13 people dead in 1999. It has since been passed onto other school districts that have experienced similar tragedies and evolved into emblem of healing for survivors.
John Oakgrove of the Little Thunderbirds Drum and Dance Troupe from Red Lake Minnesota made the trek from Red Lake as a sign of unity. Survivors of Columbine took the dreamcatcher to the Red Lake Reservation following a school shooting there in 2005 that left 10 people dead, including the 16-year-old shooter. Oakgrove has travelled to present the dreamcatcher since, taking along his children who sing honor songs for survivors as part of the healing process. He was there when the dreamcatcher was presented to Sandy Hook Elementary School officials in 2012 following the deaths.


 
Yes compassion is an admirable trait to possess. I often have it for sufferers of domestic abuse that kill their abusive spouses. Just don't have in it me to feel it for this guy. He had a plan, lured these poor innocent children into a situation they couldn't escape and executed them. And cowardly at that. He couldn't even face them. All because his feelings were hurt.

There is no excuse that can explain that away for me.

On a side note I do not remember much empathy for Harris and Klebold. Is it because of his looks? Being an athlete? His popularity ? I find it very perplexing.

This is my first post so I hope I do it right.
My heart goes out to the victims and the families of the Marysville High School Shooting.
I am so amazed by these children and how they have looked way beyond the reason why this awful tragedy occurred. I'm not sure if I could be so forgiving. These children have taught the world about love, compassion and forgiveness and the importance of coming together as one. J,Z,G,S,A I'm not gone only my outer shell is. I am the Angel that will glow upon you. I'm the Angel that will keep you strong. Stop the tears my love ones I am not gone.

I would say it's a cultural difference. Native Americans are raised to forgive and overcome hatred.
 
Bringing the dream catcher to school and having the children drum is a ceremony for the spirits of those lost. It is a healing and comforting ceremony; while Jaylen's actions caused tragedy, no member of his community wishes his spirit to not be at rest. It is an act of compassion.

To those on the outside, unfamiliar with the culture, it may seem wrong but to those of us who are Indian, it is just a natural thing. To Traditionals, there is no concept of Hell, there is just walking over to the next phase of life, one that is metaphysical. Those who have passed are still 'connected' to those who are living. No one, my self included, would wish unrest for Jaylen's spirit. It is a part of the meaning of the term 'Mitakuye Oyasin'; 'All My Relations' on this Earth and in the Spirit World.

Marysville is just loaded with red and white ribbons! What one church did with red solo cups was inspiring!
