Adam Lanza had lived with his mother in the 4,000-square-foot, $700,000 house. His parents were divorced in 2009.
He had two bedrooms that were clean and orderly when law officers swept into the house after the shootings Friday morning. Lanza apparently lived in one of the rooms and kept his computer gear and other items in the other one, the sources said. Law officers found evidence that Adam Lanza played graphically violent video games, the sources said.

Mom may have been a trophy wife with little brains for all we know. We do know she had no common-sense to go and train a mentally deficient to shoot well.
Better she trained the young man to work in a grocery store.
And I say again these men when younger need chemical castration or some other form of hormone blocker of some permanent kind so they don’t get into their hyper-sex-drive nutso mode.
The “Media” IS RESPONSIBLE for the failure to vet Obozo.....
The GOP IS GUILTY of knowing what he is and did NOTHING.....
BUT it is Obozo who is destroying the nation.....
The question is who put this “post turtle” where he is?
What is a post turtle?
Obama is responsible for a lot of things. He’s not responsible for getting this school shot up. Check your meds.
Never said he was. But now that you are on that subject, Did the shooter dress in black? Just like the shooter in CO? Have you ever heard of the "Black Block" which is an Anarchist offshoot of the OWS idiots? There were accusations that the CO shooter was connected to OWS. Try to tell me that he does not stir up that crowd and that his "friends" are not paying them to demonstrate.
And for your edification, I take NO Meds. NONE
Next we’ll be hearing that private detective in Florida said the shooter’s car had Tennessee license plates, right?
So the OWS kooks are responding to the 1% by shooting up elementary schools and movie theaters. Because these guys MIGHT (might) have worn black. Got it. I was going to wear black to work tomorrow. I’ll rethink it now.
James E. Holmes (Colorado theatre shooter- Dark Knight Rises)
Black Block?
Do you remember his signature clothing?
What does this have to do with what happened in Connecticut?
He has been described as “Goth” and he was dressed in black. There may be no connection, but it is troubling to see the black garb as a signature.
It may be nothing more than something adopted from the vid games he watched. We shall see.
I am equally troubled about police officers who have adopted black uniforms. We have forgotten the images of the SS in Europe during WWII.
any link to violent video games is only as relevant as the links between drivers who kill people while DWI and alcohol
it is not the video game or the alcohol - its in whose hands those things are consumed
with the video games, it is a question of whether or not the consumer is mentally stable and able to separate fantasy from reality, or not, and whether or not the video game is mere entertainment or an actual influence
in the case of the shooter, the real world seems to have been so shattered for him that video fantasy games may have seemed more “real” to him than the singular (distant family relations, no friends or attachments) life outside of his video games
although, in the end, he seems to have been able to recognize the error of his own mind, as suicide can be a form of admission of guilt in such a situation
what parents need to look for with their children is what kind of actual life, and actual attitudes and values they demonstrate IN THE REAL WORLD, regardless of the video games they might play
personally, with the bare facts we have, and without minimizing any faults of the father with regard to the whole family dynamic, at a minimum it might appear that the mother understood that the son was mentally damaged and she was negligent in her oversight of his activities; maybe, ‘cause maybe he just did a good job of fooling her
There are many kinds of craziness. Some people, for example, post ignoring all syntax, capitalization and grammar rules and want to be admired for it, because it’s so “kewl”! Then they don’t understand why their opinions are disregarded.
