Connecticut Elementary School Massacre

[Nordic]

I see a keyboard. Why doesn't anyone else?

Out of 2 monitors only one of them is crt.

A tv is crt. So what? In my house all my tv's are crt. I dont like wasting money.

And if it was staged why would they make it look so unlived in? Now that doesn't make any sense.

The report concludes that the 20-year-old Adam Lanza acted alone when he fatally shot his mother at their home in Newtown and then went to the elementary school where he fatally shot 20 first-grade pupils and six adults and wounded two other adults.

“The purpose of the investigation was to determine what crimes had been committed and whether anyone will be prosecuted as a result of those crimes. Based on a painstaking investigation it is determined that there will be no arrests or prosecutions. The Connecticut State Police are to be commended for their tireless work on this investigation and their consideration of the families and victims involved,” State’s Attorney Sedensky said.

“With the release of this report today the investigation is closed, and no additional release of information or documents by this office is anticipated,” State’s Attorney Sedensky said.

A copy of the report was provided to Governor Dannel P. Malloy.

The extensive Connecticut State Police case report, which numbers several thousand pages on this tragic case, is completed. The process of redaction is underway: that is, any information contained in the report that is required by law to be redacted must be removed prior to the release of the document. The process will be completed as quickly as possible.The State Police are expecting to complete the redaction process before the anniversary of this tragedy.

The State Police will post online an announcement when the case report is available and how it may be obtained.

I see the keyboard now. I blew up the picture. Still, you gotta admit that the room is unnaturally sterile. No personal effects,like photos, paintings or posters. Just a bunch of targets. All designed to creep out middle America.

[Nordic]

They look like extra rooms that weren't really being used for much.

[MayDay]

I've been blocking this out all along. Of course I knew it happened, but I felt an uncanny and, for me, unprecedented urge to just stick my head in the sand and not be bothered with the grusome details.

I just watched about a dozen videos of supposed victims family members smirking, lying, pretending to be mourning lost children. Or maybe they're pod people who really did lose children? Because anyone with a shred of empathy/ intuition/ humanity can easily see that these people are acting beyond suspicious.
My favorite wtf? moment:
"my daughter emily..."


Is it just me, or is he smirking and smiling just before getting into character- very obviously- before beginning his statements? This is just the most obvious example. I don't mean to pick a fight with anyone, and I realize I'm putting myself out on a limb here, but my intuitive reaction to the interviews is one of complete and utter disbelief. These people are either the coldest, most callous people around, or they're lying. It's not up to me, with my limited knowledge of these events, to decide which is true.

[MayDay]

.

Wait -- so if he's an "actor", then where are the real parents of the victim? Or is the victim's name fake? And if fake, wouldn't other parents of the school immediately call it out as a fake name? If on the other hand it's the name of a real victim, wouldn't the other parents/school reps immediately call out the above person as an imposter? Or are they all on some absurd gag order?

Am I missing something here?

Thank you. This is what I keep wondering too.

But by god that video is disturbing. OK, people are strange, and grief & shock can sometimes take bizarre forms (an urge to laugh, for instance - I've experienced that, at the funeral of someone I loved.) But the guy looks positively radiant with good humour when he walks in there. It's not just his smiling face, it's his purposeful stride and his entire physical aura. He enters the room like a movie star, handsome and confident. Then that transition, exactly like a practiced Method actor quickly "getting into character".

[MayDay]

Am I missing something here?

Lucky for you, I don't think so. If you watch the entire statement given by Robbie Parker, it's pretty easy to see that he's an entirely real human being faced with a tragedy for which he hasn't got a prepared, perceptually normative set of facial expressions to offer in response. He's shaken, nervous, and devastated by the events which he is about to discuss before a cadre of news cameras. His smiling entrance comes at about the three minute mark:



I'm not sure I expect to recognize a proper response to such a thing. There simply may not really be one. His six year old child was pretty recently butchered in her first grade class by a half dozen hollow point rounds from a fairly high powered rifle.

It's become apparent that this killing, which is really a local news story, is now functioning as a sort of tarot card reading of its own distanced viewers. Each person is able to overlay their own, personal concerns and issues onto the event and derive a meaning which replicates and satisfies their own worldview in a highly fulfilling way. If you want gun control, it's a gun issue. If you're concerned about mental health, it's a mental health issue. If you're wary of video games, he's a gamer. If broken families cause you to fret, here's a divorced mother. If violence in movies is your nemesis, there's that. If you're worried about the state taking your weapons, here you go. If you sense a vast conspiracy manipulating the masses, there it is in the conflicting details. If you don't like rich people, here's a whole bunch.

Whatever you need, whatever concerns you, it's here for you in the complete lack of details that make up the little we know about this thing. And we'll will probably continue not to know much. Because most of the people who might have told us something, anything of substance, are dead.

Wow. Cuda, if you ever do some personality testing, I'd love to see the results.

Why? You obviously couldn't competently assess a human behavioral response to save your life. You're simply looking at stuff you've been pointed to by other sad people on the internet and parroting rote, tired responses to material that's been hashed to death by sad Hooker Newtards for the last year. Perhaps before you worry about my MMPI ratings, you ought do a bit of real research about the subject you're posting on. I suggest beginning with some of the other public appearances of other parents of slain children - there are lots of them, including large group public meetings - and proceed on to a self-examination of your personal need to blindly follow the muddied, misguided pathways of internet writers whose motivations you neither question nor comprehend.

That first video of yours has a great title, though. Thanks for the chuckle.

[Iamwhomiam]

Or you could ask me.

MayDay I never paid any attention to these horrors; didn't want details haunting my conscience. Now I do pay attention. To anyone who says this was fake, you should meet some of the parents.

You should be embarrassed by your ignorance, rather than share it with us.

To believe this was staged is repugnant. To believe it was staged to promote gun control is ludicrous. The only concerns that profited were gun manufacturers whose profits are astronomical, but that will soon change as the market becomes saturated from record sales. And as divestment from these companies pushing more guns as a solution to a growing and costly public health issue, gun violence, is further rejected by investors, notably pension funds.

Citizens, like 92% of Americans, including responsible gun owners, want a federal universal background check for all firearms sales. and that's a good place to start to reduce the 100 billion we're spending each year on gun violence victims. 30,000 deaths and 100,000 wounded each year.

Since 1968 more have lost their life from guns than we have in all the wars we've ever fought. Odds are you or one you know will also have this unfortunate experience as time passes and your odds of remaining unaffected diminish.

Upon reflection and some much needed discussion with my closest friends I've realized that the parents in question are probably just reacting as a sociopath would in this type of situation. It's easy to know for a fact that so many at that income level are incapable of loving, but difficult to really come to terms with what it looks like when it's staring you in the face.
And no, Cuda, I'm not parroting things I've read online. I almost exclusively rely on RI when I'm looking into world events, and I've been avoiding this thread religously. I've simply mistaken heartless sociopaths for paid actors, and I appologize. I didn't take into account the extreme wealth involved here.

I appologize for the name of the first video. I was moving way too fast this morning.

Somehow this hasn't shown up in this thread, unless the search function is malfunctioning. Seems relevant to me.

A day before her son killed her, Nancy Lanza was on vacation alone at a luxury resort in New Hampshire, friends said Wednesday.

Lanza checked in to the Omni Mount Washington Resort & Hotel in Bretton Woods last Tuesday and checked out Thursday afternoon, the hotel said. Less than a day later, authorities say, her son Adam Lanza killed her and then opened fire in Sandy Hook Elementary School, killing 20 children and six adults there.

Things get really strange when you check out Suzanne Collins' wikipedia entry- she lives in Sandy Hook in Newtown, Cn. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzanne_Collins

[Iamwhomiam]

Knowing some, not all of the parents, I believe only a psychopath would accuse these traumatized people of anything but that, being tramautized.

Seems to me you must be quite young and have not been touched by trauma or personal loss.

Now this is truly sick, but I'd like to be around when your only child is slaughtered to tell you how artificial your reactions to grief are.

Fucking idiot!

I cannot forget the despicable things said online about my son being the eldest slain along with a 14 and 15 year old girl.

So that's where your or anyone's foolish and uninformed comments bring me immediately upon my reading.

Not that you'd give a shit, of course.

So, you will remain on my ignorant shithead list, again, not that you'd care.

[chump]

With all due respect, do you know the Parkers?

[Iamwhomiam]

With all due respect, do you know the Parkers?

Chump, I would love to be able to tell you which parents I've met, but I cannot. That's just a bit too private for me to reveal and would violate a promise I made that I would not mention any by name in my writings. I do hope you will trust me to be truthful.

I was introduced to many by a local pro-gun control blogger whose blog I contribute to regularly under a pseudonym. The pseudonym is necessary because my Landlord is a radical gun-owning sovereign citizen, a true psychopath who would evict me in a moment if he were to discover my support for a national background check and better gun controls.

The fucker called me up after being 3 days late with my April, 2006 rent after arriving in Seattle the soonest I could, three days after my son's slaying, saying "where's my rent?"

I don't take kindly to victims being further victimized by ill-informed or ignorant people. I know how it feels.

No crises actors. Real bereaved parents. Grief is expressed differently by different people and nervous humor or a laugh is common, especially when the world is watching you do something you've never done before, speaking up for your dead child.

This is understandable. Thinking about what groups might be pushing the "crisis actors" meme is quite disturbing, on the other hand.
