When 20 children and 6 adults were murdered in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre we, like most other people, were shocked and horrified at what appeared to be an act of senseless brutality. When a person experiences the tragic and untimely loss of a loved one, particularly in unusual or apparently inexplicable circumstances, the initial intense feelings of grief usually give way to a desire to understand HOW and WHY the tragedy occurred, in an effort to make sense of it and achieve some kind of 'closure'. This is a very normal and natural human reaction. We have an innate need to understand the world around us and how things 'work'. In our modern, technological world, most of what we understand about our world and how it works is provided to us by some authority or other. And most of us accept the conclusion of those authorities as being true. In some cases, those explanations are true.
In relation to the Sandy Hook massacre; while the HOW of the attack has been explained, as yet, there seem to be few authoritative answers as to WHY the massacre occurred. That is to say, WHY a lone gunman decided to walk into a school and murder 20 children and 6 adults. At this point, three weeks after the event, it seems that the world will ultimately have to accept the narrative that a lone, disturbed individual murdered those children because he was, well, disturbed. Specifically, it is claimed that Lanza had 'Asperger's Syndrome', yet according to experts, people with this condition do not run a higher risk of killing others or themselves and indeed that they 'rarely harm others'. The 'disturbed individual' answer is, therefore, a rather unsatisfactory one, but it's an answer nonetheless.
But here's a question. What if the explanation provided by authorities about how something happened doesn't make sense in any truly objective way? More to the point, what if you have reasonable cause to suspect that the official version of events may not be accurate? Logically, you'd think that the same desire to make sense of the tragedy and find closure would remain unsatisfied in such a case. But you'd be wrong to think so, because it seems that most people, particularly those affected most directly by a tragedy, will gratefully accept the first plausible official explanation that is offered to them, even if, as in the case of the Sandy Hook massacre, it doesn't really explain WHY the tragedy occurred. The reason that most people react in this way is probably due to the same desire to find closure and 'put it behind them'.
With that in mind, we'd like to state that our previous analyses of the Sandy Hook massacre were in no way motivated by any desire to 'stir up some shit just for the sake of it' (as several individuals suggested). Our motivation was, rather, to satisfy our desire to find a more satisfactory explanation of HOW and WHY the massacre occurred, a desire that really resulted from our inability to simply ignore the outstanding inconsistencies in the official story.
But first however, we'd like to draw your attention to some of the more outrageous and false claims being made about the Sandy Hook massacre.
No official police report public yet. We don't know but we did get tons of disinformation.
See this news vid report:

Perhaps this is what the Sandy Hook school should have had in the first place.
Yeah, and if it is on a Youtube video, it just has to be true.
Come on people.
Was this school equipped with video monitoring? And if so, WHERE IS THE TAPE?
Nowadays, everyone has a video of everything. I find it curious that we have none in this case. It would put a lid on the question about the AR.
Barry’s “people” probably had nothing to do with the original act as some have speculated. I don’t buy into that nonsense, but if you told me they would rush in to re-arrange the crime scene for political reasons, now that’s within the realm of belief.
“Friends are emailing me saying the shooter was found with only hand guns.
Have the police made their findings public yet?”
As far as that point is concerned, yes. He took the AR-15 with him and that was the only weapon that the victims were shot with. The only one shot with a handgun was Adam Lanza, because that is what he used to commit suicide.
Be fair to Sybeck, he wasn’t saying he believed it, he was saying that it came along with the info that the mom worked at the school. Implication being it was all fartgas.
“No official police report public yet.”
We don’t have a final report, but we have official statements to the press (on video, not just a reporter relating second hand), confirming that the AR and only the AR was used in the shootings.
(heeheehee, couldn't resist that one!)
“Was this school equipped with video monitoring? And if so, WHERE IS THE TAPE?”
I would assume in police custody, because it would be evidence. These things don’t get released to the public very quickly. Do you know how long it took before we were able to see the surveillance footage from Columbine?
What’s the frequency, Kenneth? You’re fading in and out. Over.
What I’d like to see it on paper and signed. Not some blabber to the press.
No, according to the medical examiner. If you’ve examined the bodies and think that you know better than him, then please enlighten us. And show us your autopsy photos.
“Boogieman doesn’t know and is guessing”
Well, that’s generally implied by the word “assume”, but thanks for pointing that out for the slow kids in class.
That still blabber to the press. We’re still looking for an official report that someone has their John Hancock on it.
“What I’d like to see it on paper and signed. Not some blabber to the press.”
Sure, but investigations take time before they release official reports, so I wouldn’t expect anything like that to be available right now. The best information we have available until then is the official statements.
Fedgov FEARS the AR in the hands of private people. They can live with folks sporting hand guns, (for now.) But an AR? Can't have that, bureauKaRATZ break out in hives just thinking about it.
I smell a really big RATZ running fast and furious away with the truth here. "NEVER let a good crisis go to waste!"
Don't mind me, just cynical. The size and scope of the lies this bunch of criminals has let loose on the country overshadows ANYTHING at all that comes out their filthy pie holes.
Benghazi is high on the list.
Wanna learn the real truth? Keep an eye on Pravda.
Their “best information” could be wrong. It’s better to withhold judgment until you get the comprehensive police and signed report.
ROTFLMFAO!
Sorry, that was a post to me, as an add on to post 23 where North Dakota was blasting Sybeck for believing what he saw on UTUBER.
It WAS a little sketchy, but a good inside joke anyway.
BTW, Kenneth knew who’s typewriter had superscript fonts way back in the ‘60’s. That’s why he got bopped on the head!
