Wow, you live in Newtown, the same town where the shooting took place? It sounds like a really small town. Do you know any of the families of the children? Have you been seeing a lot of funerals take place since this took place? It would be interesting to hear what you personally know and saw - what you witnessed and continue to witness since the shootings. (as opposed to the terrible news accounts). Thanks!
I don't know any of the SHS families personally, but my youngest has a classmate who lost a sibling - very sad. I live 10 minutes from the Flag Pole and saw some funeral processions, memorials in Sandy Hook, and the news media trucks, but didn't stop to gawk or interfere (I did feel like blocking the media cameras with my car - what a disgrace).
My concern now is the exploitation of the tragedy, mostly by the gun-grabbing left, which wasn't a surprise. Maybe it's because Newtown leans Right politically, so it's a chance to usurp the dialogue.
School security since 12/14 is also mostly superficial with a NPD squad car out front - access without "buzzing in" is still possible and the school district has only been sending vague emails on improvements/what's next with regards to security.
