Phew! Whatta week. So, it's easter again and, for many it is time for celebration. Woop!Eggs. Woop! Seeing Family. Woop! Jesus is dead.
Wait, what?
It seems that sometimes people lose track of what these holidays are actually about, and to be honest (in the most optimistic way) Easter likes death. Woop!
So, maybe, (just for a brief moment whilst we take time to unbuckle our jeans from a chocolate marathon) we could take a time out to just think. Think about what's happened. And this time, I don't mean with Jesus, I mean with society. Who's died?
Okay, we're not reminiscing, we're celebrating.
But hey hey, who knew that there were three road deaths on easter saturday?
Now, I know it was a long time ago, but The Columbine High Massacre comes to mind.
But, mostly, a girl named Cassie Bernall.
Cassie Bernall was one of the victims of the massacre on April 20 1999, with an extraordinary story.
The Killers- Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.
The massacre began heavily, and after a few hours, moved into the library in which Cassie was seated. Klebold, approached her with one single question
"Do You Believe In God?"
In this position, you could either deny it and (possibly) be spared or, say Yes, and be killed instantly. Can you guess what Cassie said?
YES.
RIP Cassie Bernall
