That was the same description applied to the Virginia tech shooter.

I’m passionate.

Why? Were you an on-scene investigator?

No, I just hate when people spin up conspiracy narratives for fun when it comes to tragedies.
I wish they would go back to “fake moon landings”.

There were two unarmed women in there with the kids. Not much chance of them taking out an armed man. Also, they were surely the first people shot when Lanza entered.

Thanks. I understand better. Don't have a theory. Just not satisfied it went down just the way you so passionately believe.

What fake moon landings?

I don’t have a theory because we know what happened. We watched it unfold that day. It was pretty cut and dried.

Antisocial kid goes on a shooting spree. It’s not exactly the first time it has ever happened. Dozens of witnesses, dead mother, destroyed computer (just like the VT gunman).
You have to suspend a lot of logic to come up with an alternative narrative. All the Newtherisms have just been plain absurd.

Perhaps so. But you won't believe me when I answer you directly.

Furthermore, you won't convince me of your beliefs this way.

That should be enough to drop this...for now.

Newtown never happened, according to some “sources”. It was a government inspired make-believe crisis to try to void the second amendment.

And now we hear that Sandy Hook victims are filing a lawsuit against the firearm manufacturer.

It’s not about the money./s

If Adam Lanza had Asperger’s then I believe that loud noises would have freaked him out. Have you ever blown off a round out of a Bushmaster indoors? Or a Semi Auto handgun? I would think after two or three shots that kid would have been sitting on the floor with his hands over his ears rocking back and forth. Forget concentration and accuracy. I just cannot make this thing work out as its been presented.

More likely the poor kid was there but not the shooter. That’s if 26 people really got killed. At Columbine only 13 people got killed and you had two shooters with all the time in the world.

It's probably the worst of conspiracy theories.

Beyond the Internet, the Newthers are even more odious - calling up parents of dead kids to tell them their child never existed, standing outside their homes with cameras, taking pictures of kids' tombstones to embellish their lunatic theories.

Absolute scum.

Some loser posted an entire Newther thread here a week or so ago. The Mods yanked it.

Not everyone with ASD is bothered by loud noises, and even the ones that are are not necessarily bothered by all loud noises. Really, if his condition wouldn’t have allowed him to carry out these acts, don’t you think a few of the many actual psychiatric professionals out there might have mentioned that?

As for Columbine, most of the people fled when the shooting started, so the shooters did not have the opportunity to corner very many people like Lanza did. If you watch those videos, most of the time was just spent walking around trying to find the few people left who hadn’t run out of the school. They could have killed many more people if they had any victims left to target.

It really is a special kind of stupid. I have enough problems with Truthers. Luckily, my sister is too dumb to understand the Truther theory. She just knows “the government did it”.
Newthers have a much higher level of suspended logic. They treat it like a sitcom.
“No it’s true. I saw it on Gillgans Island”.

Yes I know. It was all actors and fake kids. Because Internet.

Lupica is a fool and a liar who should stick to sports. I always wonder why people who write hateful garbage like this don’t get their teeth knocked out on the sidewalk some time. I guess it’s because they don’t have guts to say crap like this to anybody’s face. Most leftists are cowards.

Good for you - Bing is owned by Microsoft which is just as left wing as Google.
