Sounds like one of those things where the guy doesn’t want to go to jail so he either takes his life or tries killing as many people as he can before he is stopped.
In 1984, I was asked to analyze a "Character" curriculum. I got a team together and we went over it with a fine tooth comb. Our findings were rather interesting. The program was specially designed to disengage the student from any of the moorings that help a child to grow into an adult, most notably the parents, but also any faith in God. At one point, one member of my team said that he actually felt as though he was staring into the pit of hell as he read through the fifth grade lesson where the teacher was instructed to help the children come to terms with the Andes plane crash and the resulting cannibalism, with questions that kneaded emotions out of the children. Questions like: how would you feel if you and your friends were in a plane crash like that? Would you be able to eat your friends?
I took that program to an old parish priest, the kind of man whose common sense made him someone I just had to talk to. I showed him the very worst pages of the program. He read through it and put his hand on his forehead, sighed deeply and said: "You know you could have five kids go through this and four of them might end up with a few quirks, but that fifth one?" He then just shook his head.
My point is this - there have been programs just like the one I studied in place all over this country since the 80s. It was only a matter of time when those "fifth children" begin to commit acts of mass murder. Add anti-depressants and you have a recipe for disaster.
What I noticed in 1984 was that these programs were carefully constructed so that no one, not the teacher, the student, nor the parent would have any idea that anything was happening to the student.
We were successful at getting the program we studied thrown out. However, we had no way of convincing others as to the danger these kind of "character" programs posed.
This type of education is the root of the problem. And it infests every public school system. And, is endorsed by the CDC and the NEA.
But, it is so well hidden no one would know where to begin to look for it.
The reason for it all? They have a vested interest in turning your children into compliant little Marxists. So what if a few kids go off the deep end and shoot to kill other students?
The truth of this whole tragic affair has not a single chance of seeing the light of day. All that confidential information leaves a void that will replaced by misimformation that will support the government agenda.. Pure and simple.
Why is it everytime some nut kills by gun they blame the gun, but when a nut kills by some other method they blame the nut?
My, what a hot little psychological pressure cooker that home must have been.
Just imagine: The person with the most power over you intends to crush your life plans by having you committed. You hate the idea of being confined and drugged, that's a living nightmare, but what YOU want counts for precisely nothing. You're just a boy. After you have been committed, you know that you will never really be accepted in society. You'll always be the freak, the outsider, for the rest of your life. That's what mommy wants.
She has all the power, and she intends to use it against you. Is there any way to stop her? Well, actually, you have access to her guns, and since your life is already forfeit... Pay her back, and make some innocents pay for your own lost innocence. Do something to make this miserable world share and understand your private hell.
All speculation, but the bottom line is this:
Nobody, but nobody, harbors the kind of rage he did for that amount of time to systematically put between 3 and 11 rounds into so many innocent children, unless satan was at the controls.
This country doesn’t need another assult weapons ban; we need a spiritual revival.
Lanza didn’t snap. He meticulously planned and executed the killing of 26 innocent victims.
Where was the boy’s father? Or did he divorce his son? We all know he was out making his millions but seems to me he still had a responsibility to his child. Perhaps the mother didn’t want his involvement (?) but still seems like he could have had some kind of input.
I don’t think so.
If the mother knew he had serious mental issues...why did she not keep those guns locked up to keep him from getting to them?
Did the mother work at the school? I've heard conflicting stories.
