4/20: A BAD VIBES DAY (6#) -

Before the Columbine school shootings, this date was usually associated with the commemoration of Hitler's birthday and was mostly devoted to desecrations of Jewish cemeteries and the occasional Christian church. Since the Columbine event, the focus seems to have shifted to schools:
