She Said Yes: A Video Tribute To Cassie Bernall by Her Friends

An excellent springboard for youth group and family discussion.

This video, the book, and the t-shirts are all worthless, and any money you pay for them is going to help Cassie's parents profit from their daughter's death. There are better ways to get kids into Christianity than telling them lies, they'll either grow up deluded or resentful if you do.

Testimony of eyewitnesses suggests that all the killers said to Cassie was "Peekaboo" before shooting her, while Valeen Schnurr (after she was shot) was asked if she believed in God-said yes-and was able to recover later on. That's inspirational enough, thank you, and no money goes to the vultures Cassie's parents have made themselves into. (...)


Yes, the controversy has been proven...Cassie said "YES".   June 14, 2001

Emily Wyant's assertion that Cassie's exchange with her killer never happened is disputed by other survivors of the library who continue to stand by their initial accounts. In addition, ballistic reports confirm that it was Harris, not the jewish Klebold, who shot Cassie, therefore proving the inaccuracy of Emily's testimony. Emily apparently suffered greatly from PST(post-traumatic stress disorder), and her recollections of events were effected as a result.

Other issues involve why the Jefferson County Sheriff's office hid video testimony that showed anti-Christian hatred and murderous threats by the 2 killers, and why they allowed Salon.com reporters access to private information about Cassie, while none of the other victim's information was released. Furthermore, the Salon.com article which tried to "debunk" Cassie's testimony in death coincided with the release of this book. The sheriff's department tried to make it look as though the two killers were targeting athletes, when in fact, most of the victims were Christians. The killers did not ask their victims "Are you are athlete?", but rather "Do you believe in God?".

I find the testimony of Cassie to be a wonderful example of faith, and she should be honored by Christians as a heroic example of faith.


Tragic story with lessons for us all.   March 22, 2001

I hesitated buying this video initially because of the serious doubts about whether Cassie really did say "yes" just before her life ended. I'm not a Christian nor do I ever plan on becoming one but nevertheless after careful consideration I realize that whether she did say yes or not makes no difference at all being that she obviously did believe in God. The students who claim Cassie said yes did so in the sincere belief that she did and thus there was absolutely no intent to mislead anyone. Some still firmly believe Cassie did say yes and they were "there" I was not, but again, Cassie fully gave her heart to God long before her death. Its as simple as that. The video covers scenes from the Columbine news footage and Cassie's funeral as well as some of her friends retelling the events of that tragic day of her death. It does not go into the turmoil that consumed Cassie earlier in her life and her parents struggles to redirect her. Personally I liked the video and feel its a good video for everyone regardless of religious faith including atheists simply because it tells a story of a young lady's life and death and how she impacted her family, friends and ultimately the world.


Retreat Material   November 15, 2000
This past summer, the summer of 2000, I along with some helpers put on a retreat for teenagers ranging in age from 13-18. The retreat was for introductory teens (teens that wanted to take a step towards Christ in there life) so I felt that this video would have been appropriate for them to view. I did show it to them and explained the premise and basis for the documentary and the reaction that they showed was amazing. I also work with inner-city kids and have shown the video to them and we had the most heartfelt and spiritual discussion with them over this topic and video. I think it is a great video to own and I encourage anyone thinking about purchasing it to do so.

This was a great video. it really touched most of our youth in our meeting, and it showed them the reallity of life. we gave an invatation after the movie with a small message, and it was the most respond we have ever got for an invatation. Praise God! put a lot of prayer befor the meeting, and God will show his work.
