Columbine High School massacre

In the winter 2000 issue of the academic journal 49th parallel Nicholas Turse, then a doctoral candidate at Columbia University wrote of the Columbine High School massacre: "I propose that kids killing kids may be the radical protest of our age, and that Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold may be the Mark Rudd and Abbie Hoffman figures of today." Of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold Turse wrote:

Who would not concede that terrorizing the American machine, at the very site where it exerts its most powerful influence, is a truly revolutionary task? To be inarticulate about your goals, even to not understand them, does not negate their existence. Approve or disapprove of their methods, vilify them as miscreants, but don’t dare disregard these modern radicals as anything less than the latest incarnation of disaffected insurgents waging the ongoing American revolution.^[2]
