A crazed gunman dressed in black went on a rampage at a Connecticut elementary school this morning, in a massacre that left the shooter and 26 dead others - including 18 children.

Adam Lanza, 20, shot his mother dead and targeted her kindergarten class at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., sources sais. Sources also told The Post that Lanza's mother was a teacher at the school and he "had a dispute with her."

Lanza is dead inside the school.

Lanza used two handguns and a .223-caliber assault rifle, an official said. The official also said that New Jersey state police are searching a location in connection with the shootings.

Police in Hoboken, NJ are questioning Lanza's older brother Ryan, 24, but he is not a suspect.

This is beyond mental illness. This is demon possessed. People with mental illness usually only harm themselves. They can make life hell for parents etc but they only take it out physically on themselves if at all.

I swear. I am not a conspiracy theorist but I do know that Communists know pshycology and I wonder if they are somehow spurring these incidents to ban guns so they, the Government Communists, can finally take over our Country.

Since Obambi has another four years, he can back door massive gun control and Congress, especially the House, will say nor do nothing about it.


I wonder that too, even as far back at the Patrick Purdy shooting back in 1989. I've heard my share of stories like the secret program of mind control called MK-ULTRA and so on. IIRC, there was a lot of talk about MK-ULTRA and the shootings way back in the 1990's.

I’m sure he’s been erratic for some time. No one likes to call the police on their own.....because they will not and cannot do anything about it.

It’s those precarious early 20’s when young men could develop schizophrenic traits.

It is the cost of Caring for mental illness was the problem, and the fact that no real or meaningful treatment or restorative aspect in ‘curing’ the illness. Then it became a libtard political correctness issue. You can’t make people take their meds. You can’t arrest restrain unless they are an immediate harm to others. The became the homeless problem that we try to fix by teaching them how to eat out of garbage cans and giving them needles in a needle exchange program.

To avoid discussion on the real issues, this will be a gun problem.

You’re absolutely right. Obama approaches abortion with different glasses.

According to what’s being said right now, he was “buzzed in” through the locked door.

Which still begs the question, doesn’t it?

I guess we won’t be hearing much about Ben Ghazi or the fiscal cliff for a while.

a .223 caliber rifle is a HUNTING rifle, not an “assault weapon”.

Sorry. I beg to differ:

.223 Bushmaster.

.223 Ruger Mini-14 Tactical.

Neither is meant to be used as a hunting rifle. There are better choices for hunting. Game that is.

“People with mental illness usually only harm themselves. They can make life hell for parents etc but they only take it out physically on themselves if at all.”

That is not true - the prisons are full with people who have mental illness, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome being the predominant condition. They hurt anyone near them - usually without really knowing what they are doing.

That should be the national discussion, not the weapons but the evil people using them. We let our kids play video games where they shoot people in a very realistic setting without cause and think that won't impact their thinking. Congress won't ever do anything about the violent games because a good chunk of their lobbyists come from that industry. We turn a blind eye to the foul hateful language in their music because that's the new generation. Even when these kids drop the f bomb themselves, adults look the other way.

If we don't care that our families are exposed to evil 24/7 in this culture then we shouldn't expect to produce a generation of saints. We are what we read and hear and watch and play.

I would venture to guess there is a history of destruction of property and cruelty to pets that goes back to preteen years.

I’d also check for their proclivities to be 0bama acolytes and to be driven by the MSM.
