Retarded.
But that’s a dirty word nowadays.
Speaking of OWS connections ... it’s maybe a stretch ...

Mass killings have gone on throughout the decades and in many countries. People’s memories are short, having the narrative that they are only recently gives ammunition (pun-pardon) to anti-gun supporters.

Agreed. Here is what Wikipedia has to say about it:
"Developmental disability is a term used in the United States and Canada to describe lifelong disabilities attributable to mental or physical impairments, manifested prior to age 22. It is not synonymous with "developmental delay"[1] which is often a consequence of a temporary illness or trauma during childhood.
There are many social, environmental and physical causes of developmental disabilities, although for some a definitive cause may never be determined. Common factors causing developmental disabilities include:
Brain injury or infection before, during or after birth;
Growth or nutrition problems (prenatally, perinatally, or postnatally);
Abnormalities of chromosomes and genes;
Birth long before the expected birth date - also called extreme prematurity;
Poor maternal diet and absent or minimal health care;
Drug abuse during pregnancy, including alcohol intake and smoking;
Drug-related prenatal developmental insult, such as thalidomide;
Severe physical maltreatment (child abuse), which may have caused brain injury and which can adversely affect a child's learning abilities and socio-emotional development
Developmental disabilities affect between 1 and 2% of the population in most western countries, although many government sources acknowledge that statistics are flawed in this area. The worldwide proportion of people with developmental disabilities is believed to be approximately 1.4%.[2] It is twice as common in males as in females, and some researchers have found that the prevalence of mild developmental disabilities is likely to be higher in areas of poverty and deprivation, and among people of certain ethnicities.[3]
“CNN is no longer identifying the shooter.”
Neither are police. I find this odd. Maybe the shooter isn’t Adam.
What we are dealing with is outright spiritual warfare, dealing with the demonic.
These modern, totally senseless, defenseless mass murder events have nothing to do with any of that.
I was told this off a Finnish woman professor at the local small college.
A kid aged 22 from CT , well to do kid could not graduate because he had to take a class which started at 8.am
He told his mother and the mother from CT called down here and said can the class start later as how does the school expect boys att hat age to get out of bed.
i kid you not\\\
The school said no and so she got on a plane down here and shouted at the staff at the school whilst her boy aged 22 just sat there smiling.
I kid you not, and this is what is wrong wiht the lefts parenting agenda, a bunch of spoilt boys raised as pansy boys and everything donw for them
If his big toe was smaller than the others, it wouldn't really be his big toe now, would it?
That wasn’t “expert” speculation, that was eyewitness guessing. As was the white van/SUV. Just poor jumping the gun reporting, as is being exhibited here too.
Does it sound to you like Adam or Ryan or both blamed their mother for Adam’s condition - whatever it was?
No.
Anybody can start a Facebook page. If the page is designated as a “Community” page or a “Public Figure” page, it’s just ABOUT the name on the page,but that person may have had nothing to do with it.
That is not Adam Lanza’s personal Facebook page.

A law enforcement official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the boys’ mother, Nancy Lanza, works at the school as a teacher. He also said Ryan Lanza’s girlfriend and another friend are missing in New Jersey.
These modern, totally senseless, defenseless mass murder events have nothing to do with any of that.

I beg to disagree. I did not only say indian wars. Lots of senseless murder happened in the past.
However we stopped locking up dangerous mentally ill about 40 years ago.
Good post. I’ve read through the entire thread (900+ posts before yours), all kinds of hysteria and off-the-wall speculation. Doesn’t do us well here on FR when viewed by others.
Took my walk about 40 minutes ago, from the end of my street I can see Danbury hospital which is supposed to be on “lockdown”, though I can’t understand what for. The Catholic School at the end of the street had two police cars there.
I retired last January, but I used to drive through Sandy Hook each night on my way home from work. There’s a traffic light where I’d turn left — if you were to turn right go just a short way, the driveway to the school is there.
Sandy Hook is normally a very quiet place, as is Newtown (although it was here, too, that Richard Crafts killed his wife Helle and put her through the woodchipper). It probably hasn’t had more than 25 homicides in the last forty years, probably longer.
Trying to get a handle on what happened has been difficult all day, with conflicting reports coming in, particularly about -which- person was the shooter. Perhaps he had stolen his brother’s ID.
Also, if the shooter was indeed the 20-year-old, I don’t think he could have possessed the handguns legally in Connecticut — age minimum here may be 21 (someone please correct me if I’m wrong). Even if he could have possessed them (and carried them) in NJ, I don’t believe CT has any “reciprocity”. It looks like these weapons were stolen from either his brother, his mother, or someone else. If the Bushmaster rifle was found in the trunk, it probably hadn’t been used at all (at least at the school).
Looks like it’s going to be at least one or two more days before enough information is discovered to piece it all together...
**”The public is no longer in danger,” Lt. Paul Vance said. **
Once again, the state police/janitors did nothing to protect the innocents.
Now, if the law allowed...*what if* one of thee school staff was *allowed* to carry...could the shooter been stopped? Not one reporter will bring this fact up.
Here we go again. A sad, sad day.
If his big toe was smaller than the others, it wouldn’t really be his big toe now, would it?

Thnak you for a bright spot of light on this dark thread.
