You never heard about that? Anyway, it's over a decade old. But yes, it happened. I hate snopes for the most part unless it suits my needs, but it did happen:

It happened at least in the sense that it became "urban myth" -- thus existing in some form.

This World : Surviving Sandy Hook

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0 ... sandy-hook

Filmed by award-winning director Jezza Neumann, Surviving Sandy Hook follows three families involved in the shooting over two years as they try to make sense of the tragedy, comprehend America's complex relationship with guns and violence, and find a way to move on and rebuild their lives.

Gilles Rousseau, whose daughter Lauren was a teacher murdered in the attack, has found his campaign for moderate reform met with implacable resistance from America's gun lobby. Scarlett Lewis, whose six-year-old son Jessie was killed, believes that the malaise in American society goes deeper than gun control and has begun a crusade to get a message of hope to some of the country's most deprived and violent fringes. This a deeply moving film about grief, hope, love and guns. Part of the award-winning This World strand.

Adam Lanza has been studied, labeled, categorized, mythologized. Like Gumby or Stretch Armstrong Adam has been contorted from super-human to super-killer.

The company that made the rifle used to kill 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012 says a wrongful death lawsuit filed by some of the victims' families should be dismissed

Associated Press Feb. 22, 2016, at 1:00 a.m.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — Lawyers for the company that made the rifle used to kill 20 first-graders and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School are expected to ask a Connecticut judge to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit filed by families of some of the massacre victims.

Freedom Group, the Madison, North Carolina, parent company of AR-15 maker Bushmaster Firearms, is arguing that it is protected by a 2005 federal law that shields gun manufacturers from most lawsuits over criminal use of their products.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs, who include the families of nine children and adults who died and a teacher who survived, say the lawsuit is permitted under an exception to the federal law that allows litigation against companies that know, or should know, that their weapons are likely to be used in a way that risks injury to others.

The victims' attorneys say the lawsuit appears to be the first of its kind against a manufacturer to claim that exception.

Bridgeport Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis is set to hear arguments Monday afternoon on Freedom Group's motion to dismiss.

"No lawsuit will ever bring back any of the 26 innocent lives that were stolen or bring peace to the families that will never recover from this," said Nicole Hockley, a plaintiff whose son, Dylan, was killed. "But gun companies must be held accountable for marketing and selling the AR-15, a killing machine designed only for military use, to violence-prone young men.

"We're bringing this lawsuit to save other families from having to live with the nightmare that we do every single day," she said.

State police say the 20-year-old gunman, Adam Lanza, killed his victims with a Bushmaster XM15-E2S rifle, a model of the AR-15, on Dec. 14, 2012. Lanza killed his mother, Nancy Lanza, at their Newtown home before going to the school a few miles away, and then killed himself as police arrived. Nancy Lanza legally bought the rifle, state police said.

The plaintiffs' lawyers, Joshua Koskoff, Alinor Sterling and Katherine Mesner-Hage, argue in the lawsuit that the Bushmaster rifle used in the shooting is too dangerous to sell to the general public. The families are seeking unspecified monetary damages and other potential court actions.

Freedom Group denies the allegations. Lawyers for the company argue that Congress passed the 2005 law, the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, to protect gun makers from lawsuits over the criminal use of firearms, after determining the lawsuits were an abuse of the legal system.

Debate over the law has resurfaced in this year's presidential campaign. Hillary Clinton has criticized fellow Democrat Bernie Sanders' support of the 2005 law when it passed. Sanders is now backing a bill to repeal the law.

A Florida college professor fired after he allegedly harassed one of the victims of the 2012 school shooting in Newtown, Conn., is suing the school for wrongful termination and violation of his right to free speech, according to the Palm Beach Post.

James Tracy was fired by Florida Atlantic University in January. The college did not say in its press release announcing his termination from the School of Communication and Multimedia Studies why it was firing him.

The parents of one student killed at Sandy Hook recently claimed in a Florida newspaper opinion piece that Tracy was taunting them. The parents of 6-year-old victim Noah Pozner say Tracy harassed them, demanding proof their son existed, according to CBS Miami.

Tracy was reprimanded in 2013 for writing in his blog that the Sandy Hook killing was staged, and he has questioned accounts of other mass slayings.

Sandy Hook conspiracy watch: Four years after the massacre, lunatic ravings become even more sinister

Conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook shooting are still churning, and they're becoming a threat to the families
SIMON MALOY Follow


Sandy Hook conspiracy watch: Four years after the massacre, lunatic ravings become even more sinister
(Credit: Reuters/Eric Thayer)
It’s been four years since a deranged young man in Newtown, Connecticut, murdered his mother and then went on a killing rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School, where he used a semiautomatic rifle to take the lives of 20 children and six adult teachers before committing suicide. It stands out as a landmark tragedy: One of the deadliest mass shootings the country has ever seen, its already incomprehensible horror magnified by the youth of the victims, most of whom were in first grade.

No clear motive for the slaughter has ever been established, and explanations about why it happened tend to begin and end with the perpetrator’s troubled family life and history of mental health problems. But even if the “why” remains elusive, the bloody reality of what happened in Newtown still shocks and challenges us.

In the intervening years, though, a persistent and malicious community of conspiracy theorists has done everything in its power to cast doubt on that reality and dispute that the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre ever took place. It was a hoax, the theory goes, perpetrated by the government to try and roll back gun rights. The victims, they say, are just actors, and all the relevant documents are forgeries.

This heartless agitation, once confined to fringe websites and disreputable talk-radio chatter, is now metastasizing into something much more sinister.

Just last week, the Department of Justice announced that charges had been filed against a Florida woman who apparently made death threats against a parent of one of the Sandy Hook victims. The woman’s belief “that the school shooting was a hoax and never happened allegedly motivated her to make the charged threats,” the DOJ release states. The threats were made against Lenny Pozner, whose murdered son, Noah, became a central focus of Sandy Hook conspiracy theory.

This is a worrisome development, made all the more unsettling by the fact that it coincided with another example of conspiracy-driven criminality: the North Carolina man who fired a gun inside a Washington pizzeria while “investigating” bogus reports that a Hillary Clinton-linked child sex ring was operating in its basement. This outlandish accusation against Clinton has also been embraced by one of the senior advisers to the incoming president, which forces us to consider how the rankest forms of conspiracy theory will impact our lives in the years to come.

To get a sense of how Sandy Hook hoaxes and other conspiracy theories start, endure and spread, let’s take a quick dip into the world of talk radio host Alex Jones. He’s one of the leading voices in the Sandy Hook “truth” movement, and he was singled out by Hillary Clinton during a campaign speech for his ties to Donald Trump and for saying that the Newtown massacre was “synthetic” and “manufactured.”

I was curious to see what Jones would have to say on the anniversary of the massacre, but it turns out that he already issued his “final statement” on Sandy Hook nearly a month ago. Offering himself as a victim of unfair media attacks, Jones explained his position on the shooting. “I will present to you the questions, and I’m going to be quite frank, I don’t know what really happened,” he said. “I know there are real mass shootings, I know people lose children. I’m a father. It hurts my heart. So I don’t know what the truth is. All I know is the official story of Sandy Hook has more holes in it than Swiss cheese.”

Alex Jones Scrubs Pizzagate Content; Complaint Reveals New Tie Connecting Shooter To Jones
Blog ››› December 13, 2016 3:07 PM EST ››› ERIC HANANOKI


Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is scrubbing online content pushing the false and dangerous conspiracy theory that Hillary Clinton’s campaign trafficked children through a D.C. pizzeria. A man who recently entered the pizzeria with a rifle and fired shots reportedly shared a piece of Jones’ content before the shooting; the video he shared is still on the website.

Jones is a radio host who has claimed that the government perpetrated the 9/11 attacks and the tragedies at Columbine, Oklahoma City, Sandy Hook, and the Boston Marathon. Jones has also repeatedly accused the Clintons of murder. He has been elevated from the fringes to the mainstream by President-elect Donald Trump, who appeared on his show and praised his “amazing” reputation. Trump adviser Roger Stone is also a regular Jones guest and contributor.

Jones and his Infowars website have promoted the false conspiracy theory dubbed "pizzagate," which alleges that top Clinton associates such as campaign manager John Podesta are trafficking children through the Comet Ping Pong restaurant.

The false claims took a dangerous turn when Edgar Maddison Welch fired an assault rifle inside the pizzeria because he was trying to “self-investigate” the conspiracy theory. FBI special agent Justin Holgate stated in a criminal complaint that Welch said he sent a video on the night of December 1 with the message “Watch PIZZAGATE: The Bigger Picture on YouTube” to a friend before the shooting:



“Pizzagate: The Bigger Picture” is the headline Infowars used for a December 1 article -- still online -- promoting a video from Infowars producer Jon Bowne that pushes the pizzagate conspiracy theory. Jones tweeted the headline on December 1. The headline was also used on YouTube by a non-Infowars accounts to promote the Infowars video.

Welch also told The New York Times that he listens to Jones, and he reportedly liked Infowars on Facebook.

Jones and Infowars appear to be scrubbing commentary about pizzagate. Jones’ YouTube channel posted a November 23 video headlined “Pizzagate Is Real: Something Is Going On, But What?” The video has since “been removed by the user,” though it’s not clear when.

The video has been re-uploaded or re-upped by other toxic conspiracy theorists (some of whom speculated about why Jones deleted it). During the video, Jon Bowne states that Clinton allies are “using a code to communicate child sex trafficking as casually as ordering a pizza.” The video then states that Comet Ping Pong “may be competing for the lucrative Washington, D.C., pedophile market right out in the open.”

Jones promoted the video on his Facebook account but has since deleted the post. Infowars also deleted a November 27 article by Bowne that promoted the video.

While Jones has removed content related to pizzagate, his website still contains false articles promoting the conspiracy theory. For instance, Kit Daniels posted a November 5 piece headlined “Law Enforcement Begs World: Read Hillary Emails To Find Child Rape Evidence; Hillary Linked To Child Sex Ring, Emails Suggest.” The article suggested that John Podesta was potentially involved in “child molestation” and “child pornography” because his hacked email account contained “strange” references to “pizza”

Hope I can get this link to post so that it's clickable: Latino family remembers their daughter

Unlike some here, I'm thrilled that Alex Jones, that scum-sucking scandalmonger and shameless exploiter of families' grief to promote himself is currently being outed in the national news.

Not exactly a winning combination.

So, what does the mother do when her son acts out. She immediately drags him to the "authorities," who have every incentive to drag treatment out as long as possible so they maximize billing, if not the parents, then the insurance company, or the state. As soon as you drug someone, without ANY understanding of the underlying causes for the symptoms, you then alter their neurochemistry, thus complicating the issue. It's like clubbing someone over the head as they wander through a labyrinth because you think the problem is that they're wandering, or that they're frustrated at wandering and not getting anywhere, so you want a quick fix. All you do is add another layer of complexity.

And of course HIS behavior is problematized.

What about the insanity of forcing children to where uniforms or attend schools they hate while simultaneously gaslighting them by telling them they live in a free country with rights, yet controlling every fucking aspect of every fucking thing they do? And then pretending like they have some disorder because they act out.

This is pretty good stuff! Though jlaw ended up being a weird-ass Zionist iirc.
