Today is 3 years. Doesn't seem that long ago. And absolutely nothing has changed or gotten better.
Well , is pretty certain that the home isn't going to be featured on the front-cover issue of Better Homes and Gardens. :pQuote:

I skimmed & didn't see a mention, but a film going to Sundance next month is in the US dramatic competition. Title? Newtown. Centers around the shooting. I'm a cynic, but I'm interested to see credits, donors etc. depending on what is shown on screen. I'll report back.
Any good documentary about Newtown will be heartbreakingly difficult to watch but I don't think I couldn't skip it. Thinking back to the time of the tragedy, I must have been going through something in my own life and intentionally avoided listening to anything about it on the news, etc., so I'm absolutely open to listening to all sides. I may be wrong, but it seems to me that this case has the most conspiracy theorists out there since 9/11. Does that seem the same to any of you?
Well, I've said it before and what the hell, I'll say it again. What did they expect when they requested all the evidence not be released, and all the crime scenes torn down and obliterated-- they didn't even want the 9-1-1 recordings released, had some of the victims cremated, and DID accept large shares of humongous donations and sued for more, while many (understandably!) promoted gun control agendas? That's going to throw a LOT of conspiracy-mongers off their feed, you know?Quote:

True story: this same boss wanted to put guns in the ceiling of our office in case our city was under attack. Trust me, given where I lived at the time, it's probably one state where very few would even bother. Fewer still would miss it if it actually happened.
Does anyone know why Lanza chose the elementary school? A book available at the Kindle store ( Amazon) hints that something happened during Lanza' s first year at the school that contributed to his murderous rampage.
He did attend Sandy Hook from grades 1-5 but his reasoning is unknown - may have been the closest to where he lived:Quote:

I have a friend who believes Sandy Hooks was a government hoax to promote gun control. :rolleyes: (She thinks the same thing about Orlando.) This not a dumb person. I think she has just been listening to some nutter.
I wondered why they chose to tear down that house he lived in? There are many homes that murders have been commited in and are stigmatized that are not torn down.. Anyone know the real story on why it was razed?
I don't believe it was just to stop lookie loo's...It was a nice piece of property.
A friend who lived in that area said that it was because the mothers murder scene was never cleaned up and "weird" things happened there after the murders..
I am not so sure about that but I guess it seems plausable?
Thanks, Cash.
A family of one of the victims lived on the street, but I think they've moved since then.Quote:

Tearing down the house was just an another part of the wholesale erasure of all sites connected to the crime. For haunting, there still are some of the empty buildings of the former state mental hospital nearby, and they want to turn THAT property into some kind of shopping/ community center (there's a state correctional facility already there, BTW.)
Since the Lanzas are not even interred in Newtown, and to my knowledge of the town history, that particular area was not previously known for odd occurrences (the other notorious murders from the 1980s were scattered in different sections), possibly trespassers LOOKING for "ghosts" were getting in the house somehow, I suppose. Doesn't quite justify the demolition, though.
The Lanzas are pure human shit. The mother was a fucking idiot.

There was a sad and touching docu on PBS Independent Lens last night about Newtown. They talked to parents of kids that didn't make it, parents of survivors, first responders, townfolk in general. If you can catching I would recommend watching.
The police knew about Lanza's plot years before and could do nothing

Alex Jones being sued by families of victims - good
https://nypost.com/2018/04/18/alex-j...ndy-hook-suit/
Well, great, how do they intend to prove their loved ones were killed that day without, you know, photos and videos of them dead in place, autopsy reports and photos, photos and videos of blood-spattered classrooms, etc.? Oh, geez, I forgot, all that is verboten, and all the crime scenes are only a memory (and the demo crews signed agreements not to HAVE any memories.) I don't think those 9-1-1 calls are going to cut it. All that self-protection will come back to bite them and their lawsuit will fail as surely as the one against the gun manufacturer. YOU know it happened, *I* know it happened, everyone with a lick of sense knows it happened, but Jones, alas, is free to say whatever he likes about it, since nothing can be shown to prove him wrong.Quote:

Good. I can't imagine having a loved one gunned down and people saying it didn't happen. I have an old friend who will look you in the eye and say Sandy Hook was staged by the democrats.Quote:

My husband was about 5 miles away from the Murrah Building, and they heard the blast while they were in class.
You couldn't get away from From it. Such a horrible, dark time in Oklahoma.
