NEWTOWN, Conn. — The Connecticut home of the man who carried out the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary school has been demolished, Newtown officials said Tuesday. The 2-acre lot where the 3,100-square-foot house once stood in a leafy, suburban neighborhood will be left as open space under a plan approved by
town officials. Several neighbors had asked for the building to be taken down, describing it as a constant reminder of the tragedy. Among them, Dave Ackart said in a letter: “Not only is the property a constant reminder of the evil that resided there – those of us...

1778: James “Sandy Flash” Fitzpatrick

| September 26, 2011 | Headsman
On this date in 1778, Revolutionary War-era bandit James Fitzpatrick was hanged — very badly — at Chester, Pennsylvania. Fitzpatrick was then, and still is now, a legendary character in Chester County. He’s better known as “Captain Fitz” or, with a bit more flair, “Sandy Flash”. Born to Irish immigrants in Chester,
Fitzpatrick joined up with the Continental Army when the Revolutionary War broke out. But after being subject to the commonplace but brutal punishment of flogging for some failure of military discipline, Fitzpatrick deserted, swimming off Long Island in the dead of night and eventually returning home. There, he...

With the exception of a few subcategories, there are basically three components that constitute today's Democratic Party. There's the new breed that calls themselves “Democratic Socialists” who truly believe in socialism, old-school Democrats that act as if they believe in the Democratic Socialist agenda in order to stay in vogue, and leftist
ideologues that want to do whatever they can to undermine and destroy the founding principles of The United States. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the face of the Democratic Socialists who have been indoctrinated with falsehoods and now suffer with misguided beliefs about socialism due in part because of the...

report’s “chief recommendation” is “tighter scrutiny of homeschoolers … to prevent an incident such as the December 2012 slaughter of 20 first-graders and six adults at Sandy Elementary School in Newtown,” EAG said. ...

Sandy Koufax's refusal to pitch on Yom Kippur still resonates

Half a century ago, when Los Angeles Dodgers ace Sandy Koufax chose not to pitch Game 1 of the 1965 World Series against the Minnesota Twins because it fell on Yom Kippur, Elliot Strom was a 15-year-old baseball fan in Toronto. After attending services that morning, Strom, who acknowledges that at the
time he "wasn't the best synagogue attender in the world," told his father he planned to stay home that afternoon and watch the World Series on TV rather than return for late services. This did not go over well. "My father was very unhappy with me,'' Strom recalls....

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer swiftly set in motion a pair of firearms background-check bills Wednesday in response to the school massacre in Texas. But the Democrat acknowledged Congress’ unyielding rejection of previous legislation to curb the national epidemic of gun violence. Schumer
implored his Republican colleagues to cast aside the powerful gun lobby and reach across the aisle for even a modest compromise bill. But no votes are being scheduled. “Please, please, please damnit - put yourselves in the shoes of these parents just for once,” Schumer said as he opened the Senate. He threw up...

Nine Sandy Hook families agree to $73M settlement with Remington

The families of nine victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting have agreed to a $73 million settlement against the maker of the rifle used to kill 20 first-graders and six educators in 2012, according to a court filing. The
families and a survivor of the shooting sued Remington in 2015, saying the company should have never sold such a dangerous weapon to the public. They said their focus was on preventing future mass shootings. Although the settlement is unlikely to open the floodgates for some settlements given that the lawsuit focused on how Remington marketed the rifle, it...

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A Texas jury on Friday ordered conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to pay $45.2 million in punitive damages to the parents of a child who was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, adding to the $4.1 million he must pay for the suffering he put them through
by claiming for years that the nation’s deadliest school shooting was a hoax. The total — $49.3 million — is less than the $150 million sought by Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, whose 6-year-old son Jesse Lewis was among the 20 children and six educators killed in the...

Bushmaster to Appeal Sandy Hook Gun Ruling to SCOTUS
|
| |
pjmedia.com ^
| 4/10/2019 | Liz Sheld
A panel of Connecticut judges ruled that nine victims of the Sandy Hook school shooting can sue Bushmaster despite a law that shields gun manufacturers from lawsuits. The
Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) protects firearms companies from liability regarding the use of their product in a crime. Suing a gun manufacturer for criminal use of their product would be like suing a car company because a car they manufactured was involved in a vehicular homicide or used as transportation to a murder or assault. But really, who cares about that when you have a political agenda?

From Sandy Hook to Charleston to Chicago (barf alert)

Chicago Tribune ^
| 07 july 2015
When 20 schoolchildren, mostly first-graders, were shot to death at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, 2012, the nation renewed a fierce debate over gun laws. The
slaughter of children, many of whom hid under desks and in closets to avoid a mad gunman stalking their hallways, seemed the tipping point for a sincere re-examination of state and federal gun laws. President Barack Obama proposed a broad agenda on firearms. But it was narrowed to legislation that would expand the requirements for criminal background checks of gun-buyers. As parents of Sandy Hook victims watched from the Senate gallery, even...
