I don't think we were arguing that point Imago. That said, I agree with you 100% concerning the data you present.
I still maintain, however, that it's one thing to make a game about a violent situation, it's another thing entirely to make a game in which you carry out a violent act that actually occurred. I would liken (although not quite place on the same level), this Columbine game to a RTS or Sim game that had you playing as Hitler, trying to take over Europe while eliminating Jews. Everyone would agree that is in poor taste, why is this Columbine game not?
