America the beautiful, with all its celebration of democratic freedoms, has become a place where children are gunned down in their first-grade classrooms, and teenagers are killed walking home with Skittles and iced tea.
The latest blight on the nation's social consciousness is a massacre of unconscionable proportion: A lone gunman, identified as 20-year-old Adam Lanza, entered a Connecticut elementary school last week and used a semi-automatic rifle to unleash carnage by killing 20 children, all age 6 or 7, and six adults -- schoolteachers and staff. Lanza had killed his own mother in her home, reportedly shooting her in the face, before traveling to the school.
This follows a series of similar tragedies: from the 2010 shooting outside a Safeway in Tuscon, Ariz., to the Dark Knight movie theater killings in Colorado, the massacre at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin -- and eerily familiar stories in Oregon, Washington and California.
The common denominator? Guns.
The recent shootings in Newtown, Conn., have prompted heated conversation about America's firearms obsession. The country seems to have a love affair with guns -- and it is the most vulnerable among us who all too often pay the price.
Sybrina Fulton, mother of slain teenager Trayvon Martin -- whose death at the hands of unofficial neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman caused a national uproar -- spoke exclusively to The Root following the Newtown school massacre. "I feel bad for the families of these little boys and girls," she said. "The parents have a long road of healing ahead."(continued)

He’s dead. What ‘rights’ does he have left? Just curious...
The common denominator? A mentally ill person with a gun. If these people were treated humanly, they would not have the opportunity.
And you know the bullets weren’t recovered because... you’re psychic?
None.
Justice has been done.
This is over.
Bingo --
LOL! Missed it by THAT much. You still get a prize tho!
Nooooo, because bullets are only extracted from dead bodies during autopsies which are conducted in licensed medical facilities, not in parking lots.......
Come on dude, surely you're smarter than that........sheesh!
What a retard. He wants common Denominators? I can think of a few more...
Insanity, welfare, socks, pants, keys, coins, hundreds of items!
I know this is too much to ask of a psychic, but do you have any documentation that autopsies were not performed?
Hey, i just realized its my 2 year FR anniversary!!
Yay for me and thanks to the Robinsons and all of you.
think i’ll hit the donate button.
Rather than play your silly little game of attempted gotcha, I'm going to give you a little quiz. Once you've gotten the answers then get back to me.......
1. How long does it take to perform an autopsy and how long does it take before the results are known?
2. How long would it take to perform autopsies on 22 bodies and how long before the entire results are known?
Can a coroner determine the caliber of weapon used in a murder simply by viewing the entrance wound or does it require the retrieval of the bullet from the body to make the positive identification?
Who determines the caliber of a bullet used in a murder, the coroner or a ballistics expert?
Once you've answered those questions then get back to me and we'll discuss how the coroner can come on TV in that parking lot and state what he did in such little time following the mass murder.............
Who cares what Trayvon’s Mother thinks!? All of a sudden she’s a gun expert? An expert on violence? She raised a gold toothed, ghetto thug. She doesn’t know jack sh**!
=
Could we say she is the problem? I would.
In other words, you have no idea whether autopsies were performed or not, so you go in to a drama queen act to pretend that you know something, when you know nothing.
we’ll discuss how the coroner can come on TV in that parking lot and state what he did in such little time following the mass murder.............
That was not the day of the massacre
The AR-15 Bushmaster (.223) was found in the school building along with a Glock and a Sig Sauer (both 9mm semi automatic handguns). The coroner reported that the children were killed by the .223 rifle. The police reported only .223 brass empties were recovered at the scene. Lanza apparently killed himself with one of the pistols, no conformation so far.
The police recovered what appeared to be a pump action shotgun from the trunk of Lanza's mother's car. The search and recovery were caught on security camera tape and appeared to take place after dark, with an officer working the slide to remove any ammunition. It was hard to tell but looked like at least one shell was ejected.
The mass shooting took place at the start of the school day, there was no explanation as to why the police search of the car took place after dark.

This is what comes from us not dealing with liars and thieves more directly.
Possibly the .223 round being 3 to 4 times more powerful might provide a clue. Size of the hole.
