I love these conspiracy theorists and their distrust of big government and big media but who spend all their time attacking little government and little media, the local police, the little newspapers, the local officials, the little old guy who helps 8 children who have run to his house for safety after watching their teacher gunned down, the father who loses it in front of the cameras, and all the other little people who were there that day.

I get the mistrust of big government and a mistrust of big media, I have mistrust of them to some extent too, but what I don’t understand is how some people here who claim to be Conservatives and rational thinking people who also latch on to “alternative” media sources, i.e. the new age supernatural, ghost hunting, holistic healing sites, natural foods and remedy sites and anti-science, anti-business and anti-capitalism sites and conspiracy sites that not only tout the Sandy Hook conspiracies but also wacky 9-11 conspiracies and who are more often than not also closely allied with OWS and Anonymous type movements and sites that are also anti-“Zionist”, i.e. anti- Semitic, anti-Israel and for the most part, just plain crazy. I’ve pointed out the sources of some of the links posted here but they often fall on deaf ears because it would seem that for at least some folks, proving that there is a “conspiracy” is more important to them than the actual source and agenda of those very same conspiracy theories to which they link.

And I love the arm chair armature psychologist and psychiatrists who watch a few You Tube video made by wack jobs and make an armchair diagnosis of how a grieving parent is supposed to act or not act or how a as you said, “the little old guy who helped some kids” is “supposed” to “act”. I love how some people equate a kid sucking on her fingers who’s older sister was later murdered at Sandy Hook as being a sign of the Devil and proof that her sister is still alive, that some old guy in a random photo of a murdered teacher somehow proves that a Demonic Satanic cult was at play along with the CIA, big banks, the government, paid actors, etc.

Occam's razor - is a principle of parsimony, economy, or succinctness used in logic and problem-solving. It states that among competing hypotheses, the one that makes the fewest assumptions should be selected.

It is much more believable that a severely deranged and mentally ill person who should have gotten treatment or involuntarily committed, didn’t and that he took out his deranged rage for no apparent reason that any reasonable person could ever begin to understand or conceive of other than he was just plain crazy and deranged. That the current administration and the MSM would take advantage of this tragedy and use it to push emotional buttons to further their agenda is not unbelievable at all but positing that there is a vast and highly complicated conspiracy at play, one involving hundreds if not thousands of people all acting in perfect consort and secrecy to erode 2nd Amendment Rights and cover up a bank scandal that hadn’t even happened yet, involving pedophile priests and CIA agents and supposed Satanists and having been put into motion at least 20 years ago is not.
