A demented Sandy Hook “truther” was arrested Friday in Virginia after he stole signs from playgrounds in New Jersey and Connecticut that were dedicated to tiny victims of the Newtown school massacre, police say.
Andrew David Truelove, 28, lifted a sign May 6 from a Mystic, Conn., playplace dedicated to 7-year-old Grace McDonnell and also took a sign from the playground made for Chase Kowalski, also 7, in Mantoloking, N.J.
He called the parents of both children after the thefts and told them the shooting was a hoax and that their children never existed.
Cops in Stonington, Conn., got a lead on the suspect after he bragged about the theft and sent images of himself pointing the middle finger at the stolen signs to The Daily Banter, a news and opinion website. Police tracked the image data to Herndon, Va., where cops surveilled Truelove’s home and then searched it Friday.

The stolen signs were sitting in Truelove’s living room, Lt. Jim Moore, the Herndon police spokesman, told the Daily News.
The alleged thief has been sitting in jail since May 26 for a probation violation. His checkered background includes a conviction for abducting an 8-year-old girl from a schoolyard in 2007, cops said.
“We’re going to drive the signs to Connecticut and to New Jersey and deliver them to the families,” Moore said. “This was a very moving and very touching story. It’s nice to see the signs were not damaged too much while sitting in the house.” Truelove took pictures of himself pointing the middle finger at the stolen signs inside his Herndon, Va., then sending them and bragging about the thefts to website The Daily Banter. The email helped cops crack the case.

Cops in Virginia busted the Andrew David Truelove who stole signs from playgrounds in Connect and New Jersey that had been dedicated to victims of Sandy Hook. Cops cuffed Andrew Truelove in Herndon, Va. And charged with possession of stolen property; he could face charges in the other states too.
The playgrounds are two of 26 to be built by the “Where Angels Play” foundation in Hurricane Sandy-ravaged areas of New Jersey, New York and Connecticut in memory of the children and educators gunned down during the Newtown murders.
The stolen signs have since been replaced.
So-called Sandy Hook “truthers” are conspiracy theorists who believe the horrific massacre was staged by the government to help aid its cause to impose strict gun control laws. In their eyes, Grace and Chase never existed and their parents are actors.
“I spoke with the families and they are very happy to hear that hopefully justice will be done, and more importantly, he’s off the street,” the foundation’s founder, Bill Lavin, said of the suspect, who has documented mental health issues. “He’s ignorant of the tragedy and it’s scary to imagine that there are people out there that don’t understand the gravity of this tragedy. Not only the horrific pain of the experience, but to be tormented by these characters, is unsettling.”
Both children were among the 20 gunned down inside Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, 2012.
Truelove has been charged with possession of stolen property, and will likely face charges in both Connecticut and New Jersey related to thefts, Moore, the Herndon police spokesman, told the News.

“I was amazed with the grace and strength that these mothers and the families handled the situation,” Lavin said of the thefts. “They handled it with far more poise than I did. It’s just a testament to their unbelievable strength and courage through an unbelievably difficult time.”
Lavin said 23 of the 26 playgrounds are completed. The final one, for Sandy Hook principal Dawn Hochsprung, is expected to be built by mid-September.

“You are wrong. Get help.”
You need help using facts to debunk positions you don’t agree with.
Typing ‘you are wrong’ doesn’t convince folks of anything.
LS,
“If you knew anything about movies you’d know that the producer doesn’t “hire” (by which I guess you really mean “audition”) -—the director does this...”
Okay, so according to you, now the Director is paying people and cutting checks?
The entity paying people is the Production Company (the Producer(s).
Actors work for the Production Company, not for the Director.
They are hired by the Production Company, b/c the Director says “Hire this guy, okay?”
Sorry, cha cha.
The Director’s not ‘hiring’ or ‘paying’ anybody, unless he’s also cutting the checks as dual-role (Producer AND Director).
If the entity cutting checks overrules the Director’s preferred casting choice, the Director has 2 choices: Leave the production, or hire a different actor.
Either way, you still can’t see Robbie Parker SMILING at the beginning of that YouTube clip as he approaches the TV press conference on the lawn?
He’s smiling.
“If you have a link to Adam Lanza’s death certificate please post a link.”
I see folks posting about death certificates.
Are those public record?
How do we obtain them?
IIRC, Social Security has Adam Lanza dying the day BEFORE Sandy Hook. Looks like folks are willing to go only so far, but not forge some (SSA) gov’t records (the way Hawaii DOH forged Hussein’s birth certificate).
THEN, they bulldoze the whole building. Convenient, if it was a staged operation.
That supports the theory of professional shooters, with Lanza planted in the building as a patsy.
Folks, WHY NO SECURITY VIDEO of this guy clad in black gear, shooting his way thru a plate glass window next to the front door, and wandering the halls shooting everything that moved?
For the Obots and ‘Taqqiya Timmys’ on here, WHERE is the Security Video from that elementary school?
If I agree to “see a psychologist,” will you allow the public to see any Security Video of this historic school massacre, or are you content to be told “Sorry, we just don’t feel like showing you the Security Video of this Adam Lanza kid smashing his way thru the main entrance?”
My apologies — apparently the FBI did conduct an investigation of Sandy Hook and it was released last month:
So what does that mean for you Sandy Hook Troofers now??
I can quote every word from Star Wars (1977) from the first word to the last flawlessly (Even in the different accents). I used to do it for my Sons when they were little when I’d put them to bed. They were asleep by the time Han and Luke changed into the Stormtrooper armor on the Death Star.
Yep.
I’m a nerd.
The more you look at Sandy Hook the more you realize it’s a complete fabrication.
Why can’t the public see any Security Video from Sandy Hook elementary?
They won’t show us that kid shooting his way thru the plate glass window adjacent to the entrance door. They showed a photo taken the next day of broken glass on the ground near the entrance. That’s all.
That’s b/c people died but ADAM LANZA was the patsy.
Did Oswald shoot JFK (working alone)? Nope, but folks still think he used a shoddy rifle to make head shots on a moving target multiple times.
Let me say again: PEOPLE DIED, but the FBI is lying and Adam Lanza didn’t do this alone, if he was even involved at all.
No security video.
No EMS allowed inside.
No parents identified their kids (NOBODY ASKED TO SEE THE BODIES).
Bizarre = False Flag.
It was a scripted event, where I believe people were killed.
It’s a gun-grab psyops operation by our Dear Leader, Obamatollah.
You said the FBI report is classified. Obviously you have evidence that is true.
So, produce it.
A completely redacted document. I know, the FBI did it for the children.
How helpful.
There was an investigation by the FBI.
Your assertions were false.
The question is what does it mean for you after pushing the lie for more than a year that the FBI did not investigate Sandy Hook.
Your whole argument is based on everything you don’t know. The conspiracy exists because you are ignorant of the facts of the case. That’s why you ask everyone to prove you wrong instead of proving to us you are right.
I have to admit. You have taken narcissism to a new height.
It’s a gun-grab psyops operation by our Dear Leader, Obamatollah.
With all of your knowledge and PINPOINT use if ALL CAPS to perfectly emphasize ALL of the IMPORTANT points AND without flubbing any WORDS, I CAN tell that you are actually RUNNING all of these conspiracies.
OMG! First…tell me how you got Kennedy.
You now have the document that you claimed was “classified” and hence unavailable on the Sandy Hook shooting.
Does the existence of this document mean that Sandy Hook happened or didn’t happen???
If it didn’t happen then this can’t be the document you were requesting — right???
You really know nothing about film production. Give it up.
LOL. Yes, I know-—there are parts of the movie “Serial” I could recite by heart-—all the lines.
These are both untrue.
Certain EMS and police and firemen with strong dispositions and warned ahead of time of what they would see were allowed inside.
And parents were given a choice as to how they wanted to identify their children -- by picture or otherwise.
Another lie.
The ME’S full statement is on youtube. He said the parents were shown pictures of the victims.This way he could have more control.
You have a real problem with established facts.
They were all given a choice -- as I said. And they all chose identification by picture as acceptable.
You really are as stupid as they come.
Insults aside, a civil preceeding will be filed.No fifth amendment to hide behind.
Being insulted by you is an honor,thank you.
Be sure to include this thread.
Sandy Hook is B.S.
People died, but the FBI ‘official story’ is false.
Hussein’s birth certificate is forged. It’s a PDF file with 9 layers, and it never existed on paper until the WH printed the 9-layer PDF file.
You can’t show up in court and present a 9-layer PDF file so badly forged, and expect it to stand up in court.
That’s a felony.
