Columbine powerpoint
On April 20, 1999, two students named Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold carried out a mass shooting at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. They killed 13 people and injured 21 others before committing suicide. The shooting prompted a massive law enforcement response from police officers, SWAT teams, ambulances, and the fire department. In the aftermath, officials examined how emergency responders could improve their response to such incidents and how schools could enhance security procedures. However, many felt that not enough policy changes were implemented following the tragedy.
Ted Bundy
Ted Bundy was an American serial killer active in the 1970s who was convicted of killing numerous young women. He was born in 1946 in Vermont and adopted his stepfather's last name of Bundy. As a student, he was involved in his church and scouting but was shy. After graduating college in 1972, he fell into a depression after a breakup. Bundy committed multiple murders across several states in the 1970s, preying on young women. He was convicted of murder and received two death sentences in 1979. Bundy escaped from prison twice but was recaptured. He was executed in 1989 in Florida at age 42.
Hypodermic syringe model[1]
The hypodermic syringe model suggests that audiences passively accept messages injected by the media, and that this directly correlates to anti-social behavior. Research by Bandura found children imitated aggressive behaviors they saw acted out. This supported the model by indicating media violence can lead to copycat violence. However, the model has been criticized for oversimplifying audiences and failing to see them as sophisticated media consumers.

Top 10 Young Killers
Mirian Calin
May 14, 2011
A number of child killings have been recorded throughout the years. These often have involved disturbing acts one can hardly imagine a child suffering through. These cases are becoming more controversial as the number of child killings increases every year. However, what happens if that innocent and vulnerable-looking child is the one responsible for the abduction and murders in your neighborhood? Would you believe the accusations made of someone so young? Could a child really commit such crimes? These are not your typical childish crimes of stealing toys from a friend, or bullying a schoolmate. This is the list for the top 10 young killers. There is a small amount of overlap from the list of evil children, for the sake of including people that really do deserve to be on this list.

Eric Smith
January 22, 1980
“You may think I’m a threat to the well-being of society. And I can understand why you would feel that way. The fact is that I’m not. I’d be an asset to society.”
At 13, Eric Smith was bullied because of his thick glasses, freckles, long red hair and one other quality: He had protruding, elongated ears. These were believed to be a side effect of medicine his mother had taken for her epilepsy when she was pregnant. Police charged Smith with the murder of a four-year-old boy named Derrick Robie. The younger child had been strangled, had large rocks dropped on his head, and had been sodomized with a small stick. When asked why he did it, Smith cannot give a definite answer. A psychiatrist diagnosed Smith with intermittent explosive disorder, a condition in which a person cannot control inner rage. Smith was convicted and went to prison. As of today, he’s been in prison for six years and has been denied parole five times.

Joshua Phillips
March 17, 1984
“There should be a sensitivity to the fact that a 14-year-old is not a little adult.” – Florida Governor Jeb Bush
What started as a regular room cleaning ended with the conviction of a 14-year-old boy named Joshua Phillips. His mother went to clean up his room one morning after Phillips left for school. Mrs. Phillips noticed a wet spot under her son’s bed and thought it was a leak from his waterbed. As she was investigating the bed to see if it needed to be drained, she found electrical tape holding the frame together. She thought her son had known the about leak but didn’t want to get into trouble. She removed enough tape to discover her son’s sock underneath, but she was surprised to feel something cold. The beam of her flashlight showed her the dead body of Maddie Clifton, an 8-year-old neighbor who had been missing for seven days.

Audience Theories, Natural Born Killers

- They are eventually caught and imprisoned but escape during a prison riot sparked by a TV interview with Mickey.
- The film Natural Born Killers was very controversial for its graphic violence and some claimed it inspired real-life murder cases, though there is no definitive evidence it directly caused violence.
- While the film was debated as having a possible influence on unstable individuals, most viewers did not commit acts of violence after watching it.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

- 5. I thought that it was interesting to do my project on the columbine high school shooting because I thought it must have been a horrible moment for each and every person who was at the school that day. I was amazed that it all happen because they were bullied and not excepted in a group or anything and they decided to get revenge that way. A person who I thought was important would be Cassie Rene Bernall because they went around the library asking people different questions and shooting but the specific question they asked her made her important the asked “do you believe in god?” and she replied “yes "and got shot in the head. A lot of Christian bands made songs dedicated to her to her for saying yes.
