Almost everything you wrote here shows fault with the media, not a Sandy Hook conspiracy. For example the first one the video was pretty clear it was a shotgun in the trunk, not an AR. The media didnt know the difference. This was supported by the police report that a shotgun was found in the trunk.

A LOT “smells”, but they’re hiding it well. Records sealed and roadblocks to discovery, everywhere.

this was NBC, and not some fly by night news agency.

BZZZZZT!

Wrong.

Thanks for playing.

You can get hollowpoint AR ammunition, either for varmint, target or personal protection, at any major ammo retailer or sporting superstore. It’s not as common as the bulk FMJ stuff, but it’s out there and easy (if expensive) to get.

A crazy bastard with an AR-15 and a couple of handguns walked into an elementary school and murdered 20 children and 6 adults. That’s a fact. Looking for conspiracies won’t change that.

Most of this can be attributed to incompetent and irresponsible reporting. Rushing to get to the story first no matter how inaccurate causes all kinds of media frenzy only the media can create.

The media itself creates the conspiracy types it decries.

Drag the heads of all the major news networks in front of congress for a good grilling like after previous elections they tried to skew with phony exit polling. They seriously need a good beat down.

The official indicates they recovered the Bushmaster inside the school—not in the trunk.

The ME was already aware that the shooter used a Bushmaster AR-15 variant and handguns. A simple analysis of fragments would tell the coroner the caliber and twist. Not much of a leap when you’re comparing .223 to 9mm.

Endlessly speculating about conspiracies serves little purpose.

Here are two facts:

(1) Almost no details about this incident have been made public record. The public has only a broad sketch of what happened.

(2) Despite the lack of full information, the administration is demanding - on the basis of this incident - that 225 years of Constitutional jurisprudence and 350 years of American tradition be changed overnight with almost no consultation or deliberation.

You’ve obviously never fired an AR at cinderblock and brick. Zips right through, depending on the construction and thickness.

Close your eyes while we guide you out of here.

It is too horrific for you to see.

=No eyewitness of aftermath.

What the heck, might as well address the others.

#2. They said it was a Bushmaster because that is what the police reported the gun as being. They had it in their possession so they know what brand it was.

#3. Hollow point .223 is rather common. I have it loaded up in several magazines now.

#4. If you’ve ever shot a cinder block, you would know that the bullet penetrates and disintegrates. It doesn’t bounce around. Especially a hollow point which is made to expand and break apart.

#5 & #6 I take it you haven’t shot an AR even though you said you did in #6. They actually aren’t that loud. An AR10 that shoots a 7.62 is loud but an AR15 only shoots a .223, not a large round. Regarding #6, it is rather silly to describe if someone used the term ‘pop’ versus ‘bang’ but acoustics have a lot in play. How much will a room muffle. A concrete room with carpet on the floor and possibly drywall will absorb a lot of sound.

20 dead kids and six dead adults. Yeah, and everybody is going to be asking about their hearing? BTW, there was an extremely low number of wounded (two, I think). The rest died, so no point in asking them.

Its not just the news agencies.

there are videos of various law enforcement officials making all sorts of conflicting statements on the weapons used.

One of them states that the perp used 4 pistols and no long guns.

Every video I saw on the issue was accessed through a link posted by Freepers on various articles right here so i don’t have the links, but the videos are (or were) out there.

WTF? Seriously? Some people hear “Pop” and some hear “Boom” and they heard the exact same thing, they just used different words. Did you know that the French think a cow makes a “wazoo wazoo” sound? Do you seriously think they don’t have cows?

The most retarded thing you say in your entire post:

“...this was NBC, and not some fly by night news agency...”

I live in CT, about 40 minutes from Newtown. I know people who lost loved ones that day. I know an elderly gentleman who cries as he talks about his having work for months carving tombstones for the children of his friends. This was handled badly and the newsmedia has been putting out all kinds of crazy stuff from the minute we learned about it. And this is so convenient for those in power. They would much rather we waste our time talking about yet another conspiracy theory rather than our debt or Benghazi or the discovery in an Italian court that green energy has turned into a money laundering outlet for the mob or so many other things. We deserve what we get.

Agreed.
We don’t need retarded conspiracy theories in order to defend our Constitutional rights.
