Sam—I am one of the Sandy Hook conspiracy nuts—a badge I wear with honor.
What convinced me was the response of the “first responders” in Fairfield County, CT. They heard about Sandy Hook on the radio (not from their bosses), immediately rushed to their local hospital helicopter staging area (without being asked) and demanded to take off so they could rescue survivors.
They were probably ten minutes from the scene by helicopter.
They wanted to rescue the wounded and take them to area hospitals since presumably all local hospital beds in Danbury would be occupied.
Only one problem.
They were ordered to stand down and given no explanation.
They only learned later that there were no wounded children at Sandy Hook to rescue.
Think about it—Las Vegas had hundreds of real wounded people taken to real hospitals.
Sandy Hook had none.
I live in Newtown and I know several families that lost kids that day. Also, a co-worker of mine personally knew the schoolteacher who was killed.
