Michael Moore calls for photos of slaughtered Newtown to be released
Newsbusters ^ | March 13th, 2013 | Noel Sheppard

Schlockumentary filmmaker Michael Moore isn't pleased with the level of outrage or support for stronger gun control following December's massacre in Newtown, Connecticut.

To gin this up further, he wants someone to release the pictures of the slaughtered children:

I believe someone in Newtown, Connecticut – a grieving parent, an upset law enforcement officer, a citizen who has seen enough of this carnage in our country – somebody, someday soon, is going to leak the crime scene photos of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. And when the American people see what bullets from an assault rifle fired at close range do to a little child's body, that's the day the jig will be up for the NRA. It will be the day the debate on gun control will come to an end. There will be nothing left to argue over. It will just be over. And every sane American will demand action. Moore discussed what such pictures might look like:

The six-year and seven-year-old children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School were each hit up to eleven times by a Bushmaster AR-15 semi-automatic rifle. The muzzle velocity of a rifle like the AR-15 is about three times that of a handgun. And because the kinetic energy of a bullet equals one-half of the bullet's mass multiplied by its velocity squared, the potential destructive power of a bullet fired from a rifle is about nine times more than that of a similar bullet fired from a handgun. Nine times more. I spoke to Dr. Victor Weedn, chairman of the Department of Forensic Sciences at George Washington University, who told me that chest x-rays of a person shot with a rifle will often look like a "snowstorm" because their bones will have been shattered into fragments.

I wonder if there were even really two.

Maybe Mayor Bloomberg should post photos of Moore in his tighty whiteys as part of his anti-obesity campaign...

They haven’t said anything about computer contents yet, possibly because they were smashed up and so the forensics will take longer. But they did find written documents of some kind indicating that fame and a desire to outdo the body count of the Norwegian mass killer Andrew Breivik were factors.

This makes the media culpable for the continual sensationalism regarding these crimes in furtherance of their political agenda. Not that they are ever going to admit that.

Your statement is untrue. I read an article of one mother who insisted on seeing and saying goodbye to her young sons corpse.

Identification was done via facial photography by the coroners office. The coroner said as much in his first public interview.

“Your statement is untrue. I read an article of one mother who insisted on seeing and saying goodbye to her young sons corpse.

One would think every one of the parents would have insisted to see their child one last time. Was this mother ever allowed to actually see with her own eyes her son? If she was allowed to, it seems likely the other parents would demand the same, would it not?

I saw the coroner say in that interview to the press he has ‘very good photographers’.

My understanding from prior homicides is that anything other than a visual inspection by a family member or close friend is not legally considered a positive id. The only exceptions are if literally nobody acceptable can be located and make a physical appearance.

Yes, she was allowed to see her child and yes, photo id is legal and common, particularly under gruesome circumstances.

Also, we don’t know how many parents insisted on seeing their children because they didn’t talk to the press.

I only know about the one, because she agreed to be interviewed.

Many may have had private viewings and opted for closed casket funerals because of the media. It’s what I would have done.

Too many Michael Moores out there.

Could you provide the publication/link to the interview you’re referring to?

I can’t seem to find anything that says one of the mothers insisted on and actually got to see her slain son. But then again I’m not that good with a computer either.

If you could it would make a lot of people feel better that at least one parent got to see her son and say some parting words to him.

Thanks

It was in the Newtown Patch which is the local paper. I’ll see if I can find it after lunch. I gotta go feed the crew.

Do your homework before believing anything this liar Pozner says. Veronique Pozner has been revealed as one of the most untrustworthy of all the SH hoax “mothers”. She is a mole for the worst of the gun grabbers invested in the hoax.

Keep your hoax crap to yourself.

Pozner may be a liberal gun grabber, but she still lost a child at Sandy Hook.

Dumb ass hoaxers like yourself do gun rights advocacy no good, you are a liability.

Maybe he should sign a release to show his autopsy photos from when his heart explodes.

I'd pay to see that!

Those are great questions.

Here is another:

How did Robbie Parker respond to this request from Moore?

Is that guy still "grieving" today as he was "grieving" during the "funeral" of his "daughter?"

Between the first responders, state coroner, TV news and county sheriff, none of these people are telling the same lies.

They should have at least come together prior to the scandal to get their lies in synch with each other.

While we are on the topic of mothers, let's talk about the hell that Cathy Gaubert went through after an ABC News affiliated station STOLE a photo from her Flikr Account. Why did ABC make a FALSE CLAIM that Lily Gaubert was killed at Sandy Hook, while claiming the photo of Lily was Allison Wyatt?

Because journalists are lazy, dishonest scum that want influence and respect without earning it.

And many Americans are stupid enough to go along with the modern media kabuki theater.
