NEW YORK (AP) In his most extensive comments about the 2012 Connecticut school massacre, the father of gunman Adam Lanza describes his struggle to comprehend what his son did an act that "couldn't get any more evil" and how he now wishes that his son had never been born.
Peter Lanza also told The New Yorker magazine in a series of interviews last fall that he believes Adam would have killed him, too, if he had the chance. And he often contemplates what he could have done differently in his relationship with Adam, although he believes the killings couldn't have been predicted.
"Any variation on what I did and how my relationship was had to be good, because no outcome could be worse," Peter Lanza told the magazine in an article dated March 17. "You can't get any more evil. ... How much do I beat up on myself about the fact that he's my son? A lot."

Not in the world of “no contest” divorce it doesn’t.
Didn’t the wife dump the father?
Filed BS to kick him out of the house?
“If one hasnt walked a mile in Mr/Mrs Lanzas shoes maybe one had best not opine.”
No, no no.
On FreeRepublic, we grab the stones from Jesus and throw them. Our Pharasees are sinless and have never made a bad choice.
“Nurture cannot heal schizophrenia.”
Well, we don’t know all the causes of schizophrenia. So it could be that nurture can contribute to it, or alleviate it.
Modern culture is producing monsters and it’s only going to get worse.
Did he look like that all the time? How do you know that wasn't some sort of pose and they are using that pic to represent him?
Fail! It's not a perfect world dude.......
As a side note, my parents divorced in 1955 and I've yet to kill anyone........
I hope someone of you will start a thread on this! (coudln’t find anything in FR search)
pick a link
You can't tango without music.....
i agree... and maybe that he is able to have that point of view has something to do with his son's outcome... not that it is fully responsible, but that it contributed...
i do not concur... :)
Nicely stated, such is the nature of many of FR's self professed christians..........
really? look through any high school yearbook or middle school yearbook, and you will find many strange, dorky, nerdy, silly pics of adolescent boys and girls... pics that make us cringe when we look back on that awkward stage between youth and adult...
Aaw poor child was misrepresented by that photo. You talk like those defending St. Trayvon.
Yes, it does. And it doesn’t appear that he was that involved in his son’s life after the divorce, as the whole interview is a bunch of speculation. I still find it odd that people keep quoting 26 as the number of people murdered and no one mentions the mom at all in their tally.
You come across as an ass. Do you really think you can divine persons mental state from one picture. As in: "How can anyone who sees this mug not think that something is seriously wrong with this "child"?"
Again, how do you know that wasn't a posed shot?
BTW, I am not defending Lanza but to make a statement like you made is the height of lunacy.
I’d be interested in seeing Sagar’s DMV photo.
Wonder if it would pass his own test.
Maybe you can but I can't......as a side note, I can't salsa either even tho I took lessons..... :)
So any child that has divorced parents will go out and murder kids? C’mon. Don’t make excuses. The kid was a sick monster.
