Sandy Hook Panel Set to Begin Review of School Shooting
Newsmax ^ | January 24, 2013 | Melanie Grey

Posted on 01/24/2013 9:19:43 AM PST by Uncle Chip

The Sandy Hook Advisory Commission will begin its grim work Thursday with an update on the police investigation into the Newtown, Conn. school massacre and presentations on the Columbine and Virginia Tech shootings.

According to the Hartford Courant, 16 experts, appointed by Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy, will convene for the first of a series of meetings to review the Dec. 14 mass killing last year and propose improvements to current policies related to student safety, gun violence, and mental health.

On Dec. 14, a lone gunman entered Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown and opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle, killing 20 children and six adults before taking his own life. Only the 2007 school shooting at Virginia Tech, where 32 students and staff members were killed, resulted in a greater loss of life caused by a single shooter.

The panel's first witness will be Danbury Assistant State's Attorney Stephen J. Sedensky, who will give one of the few official statements about the police investigation.

The Courant reported that former Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter, who was Denver district attorney at the time of the 1999 Columbine attack and a member of the Columbine Review Commission, will also speak. He will be joined by the University of Virginia's Richard Bonnie, a consultant to the Virginia Tech Review Panel and chairman of the Virginia Commission on Mental Health Law Reform.

The meeting, to be broadcast live on the Connecticut Network, coincides with the introduction of federal gun control legislation in Washington.

Members of the Connecticut delegation, along with congressional leaders, will propose banning assault weapons and ammunition magazines with more than 10 rounds.

"There is a fight coming,'' Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, a Democrat, told the Courant.

“Ignoring the opinions of the commentator, are you saying the video clips contained in this video are not true?”

What are you asking about, the video of the shotgun being pulled from the trunk?

The principal or anyone on staff. IMO, rather than an armed guard who’d be readily identifiable and easily taken out, these bans should be lifted for anyone without a criminal record whether it’s the principal, a teacher or custodial staff. Any perp with this mayhem in mind should not be advantaged by knowing that either no one is armed, or who is armed, or how many are armed.

Sorry, but those are not “crisis actors” in the sense of the phrase that Sandy Hook conspiracy theorists are using. An actor who is paid to perform at a drill is not equivalent to an actor who is paid to perform in a false incident and cover-up. Two completely different things, and one of them only exists in the imagination of conspiracy theorists.

He [she] didn't drop them off. Those were the kids from Ms Soto's classroom who ran out when the shooting stopped and ran down the road to the firehouse to Gene Rosen's house.

There is an interview of a mother driving up to the school who saw them running down the road.

Then you haven’t been listening to Gene Rosen.

He specifically talks about a bus driver. He also can’t seem to remember the sex of the driver because it changes depending on the story.

Now some interesting info has started to hit the net.
Let’s see where it goes.

Only one child listed born in NH - Adam Peter

So where was Ryan Lanza born??? And under what name???

No -- you haven't been listening.

He said that there was a bus driver on his lawn with those kids but he didn't say that the bus driver drove them down there in his/her bus.

No of course not. But you have to admit there is a lot of really wierd stuff around this, and it deserves discussion.
If not here, then where?

Good luck getting through to these lunatics. At least the equally-crazy 9/11 Truthers attempt to use science, flawed though their understanding is; this “conspiracy” is built entirely on some things “not feeling right”.
I’m guessing a break with reality, due to some deep contradiction in how they see/saw the world? I’m praying for them.
Not as often as I pray for the citizens of Newtown, however.

Nah, it’s just ordinary run of the mill emotional thinking and rationalizations, instead of reason. It happens to everyone, not just those on the left.

You made your case very articulately.. Excellent. I've thought about the 'NEW TOWN' (Newtown) as a play on our psyche to invoke thoughts of the 'All American town' as well.. I'm surprised they didn't go all the way and name it 'ANYTOWN', USA.. You are definitely on to something. I hate to think this could be an elaborate hoax of epic proportions but then I read about 'crisis actors', the blocked ambulances, 600 disappearing school children, the bus driver who inexplicably dumps kids off for a stranger 'old man' with contradictory stories to intercept...

The more you dig, the scarier things get.. I have reached a point in my mind where I absolutely do not discount the possibility that the school was built for a nefarious purpose.. Maybe we should look into the BP oil rig too.. That sure set off 0bama's epic assault on big oil, didn't it..

Now, let’s step back a minute and think about Sorcha Faal. He started the Batman shooter rumor that the father was about to testify about the LIBOR scandal.

The father of Holmes is very very interesting BUT the rumor is made up.

Then comes the father of Lanza. Who pays a lot of money for ex-wife and kid and works for GE.

Again comes the LIBOR testimony rumor.

Not sure what Sorcha Faal is up to with this Libor bit but keep it in mind in case it is a ploy to try to hide something else because he works for someone (instead of just being a internet trouble hoax maker.)

I don’t know if the Lanza Libor Rumor started with Sorcha Faal because I haven’t backtracked it..but he did start the Holmes Libor rumor.

How did you know this?

Your article:

"When Rosen happened upon them, the children were sitting in an orderly way at the end of his driveway. They appeared out of breath and he could see the fear and distress on their faces. While he is unsure how the students escaped the school, Rosen believes they must have run some portion of the road before being picked up by a school bus driver, who was with them when Rosen found them."

As to why the bus driver may not have taken them over to the firehouse: [s]he obviously hadn't gotten the memo at that time. It hadn't been issued yet.

Hope that helps.

Do you have a video showing NBC retracted their report that no assault weapons were used at the school?

Not certain whether this is tongue-in-cheek or not but...

Yeh -- the first report they made after the state police news conference on December 15th, 2012 and on the NBC Nightly News later on that day.
