Maybe they saw the kids who flicked the ketchup packets or tossed the bottles at the trench-coat kids in the cafeteria. But things never got out of hand, they say. Evan Todd, the 255-lb. defensive lineman who was wounded in the library, describes the climate this way: "Columbine is a clean, good place except for those rejects," Todd says of Klebold and Harris and their friends. "Most kids didn't want them there. They were into witchcraft. They were into voodoo dolls. Sure, we teased them. But what do you expect with kids who come to school with...

"When 500 officers go to a battle zone and not one comes away with a scratch, then something's wrong," charges Dale Todd, whose son Evan was wounded inside the school.

Julien (Bremner) is a schizophrenic who works at a school for the blind. He lives at home with his pregnant sister (Sevigny), tyrannical father (played by renowned filmmaker Werner Herzog), athletic brother Chris (Evan Neumann) and unnamed grandmother (played by Korine's own grandmother, Jorce). In terms of structure, that's about all there is, for donkey-boy is not a traditional narrative. Certainly, there's a sequence of events (albeit bizarre ones)--Julien kills a boy in the park, Julien befriends a blind ice-skater, Julien goes to church, etc.--but no particular story is told.
