Can't get the Facts Straight
Revisado: 05-01-25
These people tout themselves as experts in the field, but cannot even get the facts of a 26 year old crime right. Despite several extremely thorough examinations done by multiple experts, they repeat the same sensationalist lies the media does.

Historia
Columbine was a typical high school, full of all of the energy and dreams of teens and the teachers and coaches who mentored them into young adulthood.

The story is over 20 years old, get the basics right
Revisado: 05-01-25
I would not let these people profile a fictional character, let alone real criminals because they are so incredibly gullible that they fell for the five easiest to disprove myths about Columbine.
1) "Trench Coat Mafia" This myth orignated with a single eyewitness, and his dedicated media campaign to protect his dead friends who committed the killings. It was quickly disproven when JeffCo released the scans of the killers journals. They were not associated with the kids who referred to themselves as the Trench Coat Mafia. The closest thing to it is that they both wore long dusters, and one mutual friend was a fringe member of the group. The shooters were not associated with, nor did they hang out with, the "TCM"
2) "The shooters were bullied" This myth originated from the same media campaign by the best friend of the shooters. Eyewitness accounts, their own journals, and the family of the killers all corroborated that not only were the boys not bullied, they were often the perpetrators of bullying on others.
3) "The Shooting was Revenge" Once again, extremely easy to disprove because the killers WANTED us to know why they did it and they wrote pages and pages about their motivation, they filmed entire videos about their motivation. They wanted to kill people, plain and simple. They wanted to perpetrate an attack to rival the Oklahoma City Bombing and then go down in a blaze with the police.
It was never about revenge.
4) "They Targeted Athletes/Christians/People of Color" First, we consider that one of the shooters was obsessed with baseball and devoted every bit of his time and money outside of planning the massacre on supporting his baseball hobby. The other shooter was an active athlete and on the Columbine soccer team himself.
Only three of the deceased victims, and one survivor, were vocal christains and only one was an evangelical.
Lastly, there was only a single victim who was a person of color, Isaiah. One would assume that if race was a motivation, more victims would be people of color.
The facts are that NO ONE was targeted. They just wanted to kill people.
5) "The Violent Video Games The Shooters Played Causes The Attack" This one is so ridiculous that I cannot believe that degree carrying "experts" would actually repeat it.
Google, right now, how many copies of Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 were sold in the US since it came out. Then, google the number of acts of gun violence perpetuated by a minor in the US during that same time frame.
I'm not a statistician, but I can confidently say that if violent video games actually had something to do with violent attacks on others, the number of copies sold would correlate to a rise in attacks. But we just don't see that.
0/10 This is god awful reporting, god awful profiling, and all together a waste of my time.

Historia
12/14/2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School Newtown, Connecticut We remember the numbers: 20 children and 6 adults, murdered in a place of nurture and trust. We remember the names: Teachers like Victoria Soto, who lost her life protecting her students. A shooter named Adam Lanza. And we remember the questions: Outraged conjecture instantly monopolized the worldwide response to the tragedy, while the truth went missing. Here is the definitive journalistic account of Newtown.

Video Games & Autism DON'T cause mass shootings
Revisado: 03-10-25
This book spends over seven hours trying to convince the reader that the shooters diagnosis of autism and his fixation on video games is what resulted in this devastating tragedy.
Instead of recognizing that semi automatic weapons that have no business in civilian hands were readily available to someone with a documented history of violent ideations.
0/10 I won't be reading another book by this author.
I recommend anyone who wants an accurate account of the events in Newtown 2012 to pick up Sandy Hook by Elizabeth

Historia
Between 1950 and 1970, the Vatican and the American Catholic Church sent nearly four thousand Italian children to the United States for adoption into “good” Catholic homes. With the religious stigma of unwed motherhood turning families against daughters and a Church and State wanting “illegitimate” children sent abroad, mothers were lied to, given forms to sign that they didn’t understand, or even told their baby had died, all to further supply this international adoption pipeline.

Valuable insight, misguided connections.
Revisado: 01-01-25
For starters, I deeply appreciate the story being told in this book. I had my brother taken from me as a child because a wealthy older couple wanted to adopt him like a puppy while he and I were temporarily being fostered during a time when our mother was in legal trouble.
Despite doing everything she could to keep both of us, the courts told her that one of us had to be adopted or else they would take both of us.
This happened in the 00s in the United States. Struggling, at risk parents are still being taken advantage of and having their babies taken from them, right now.
However, the author takes particular issue with Safe Haven Baby Boxes, which is entirely misguided and a little counter productive.
I implore anyone who takes issue with the idea of a Safe Haven Baby Box to look up how many infants were found deceased or near death, abandoned after birth, often with umbilical cord attached, and placenta still nearby. This is the reality people with uteruses are facing in a anti-abortion world,
If people do not have safe access to abortion, which is a human right, they will be forced to all manner of extreme measures. Safe Haven Baby Boxes are literally the only alternative to some people, who face unknowable repercussions if forced into parenthood against their consent.
The parent did not choose to be pregnant, the child did not choose to be born, the least we may do is offer a safe place for them to be transferred into state custody.
The issue, is commercialized adoption. The simple idea that you can pick and choose and purchase an infant like adopting a new pet is absolutely sickening. It needs to stop.

Historia
Farleigh is just an orphanage–at least, that's what the church would have the people believe. But beautiful orphans Nox and fae-touched Amaris know better. They are commodities for sale, available for purchase by the highest bidder. So when the madame of a notorious brothel in a far-off city offers a king's ransom to purchase Amaris, Nox ends up taking her place—while Amaris is drawn away to the mountains, home of mysterious assassins.

I was hooked until the Succubus Brothel
Revisado: 11-18-24
I was really excited to pick this up, having been a fan of Piper CJs folklore chats on social media.
The book opens as one would expect and the prose is not lacking for technical skill or beautiful imagery, the beginning follows the girls through their preteens at the orphanage and the action picks up with the appearance of the Madam who intends to buy girls for her brothel.
Okay with it so far, this was talked about in the blurb on the back of the book.
The girls get separated and it time skips, showing the reader what the girls have been up to in the time since they separated, and the first chapter we get with one of the girls is a graphic sex scene where she's stealing the lifeforce of the "customer" who accompanied her. It was weird, it was uncomfortable, and there were not adequate trigger warnings to prepare one for encountering the sexual content.
Up to this very point in the book, all mentions of sex and genitalia had been alluded to in euphemism and never spoken about outright. It was incredibly jarring to go from alluding to virginity as a flowery-concept to extremely, viscerally graphic, descriptive sex acts.
I stopped the book three hours in and I'm not going to finish it.

Historia
Anxiety affects more than forty million Americans—a number that continues to climb in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. While conventional medicine tends to view anxiety as a “neck-up” problem—that is, one of brain chemistry and psychology—the truth is that the origins of anxiety are rooted in the body. In The Anatomy of Anxiety, holistic psychiatrist Dr. Ellen Vora offers nothing less than a paradigm shift in our understanding of anxiety and mental health, suggesting that anxiety is not simply a brain disorder but a whole-body condition.

Weird obsession with food & sugar
Revisado: 01-26-24
The author spends an entire chapter justifying disordered eating, demonizes sugar, and in the same breath praises the wonders of caffiene.
I had high hopes with this book, it was highly recommended, but I couldn't get far enough into it to glean anything of substance.

A YA Intro To Forensics
Revisado: 10-06-23
If you're looking for an accurate and "adult" read, this is not the series for you. Alane Ferguson's Forensic Mysterious follows 17yr old Cameron Mahoney as she pursues a career as a Forensic Pathologist in a small mountain town. It is fanciful, fun, but the emphasis is definitely on the idea of the story rather than the technical aspects of writing. It is a fun story, not a newbury medalist.
This series is responsible for sparking my own interest in forensics and medical pathology, and if you have a budding vulture in your family, I highly recommend it.
