You asked me what concrete evidence I wanted....
this was my answer....
What evidence do you have that AL planned this for 2 years?
You ignored it....
Now you have no credibility whatsoever because you make outrageous claims and can't back them up.
This BS seems to be systemic about the whole SH affair.
btw....I have a sticky note listing all the BS artist and agenda driven posters on ATS....you made the list. Congratulations!!!

Karger et al (2002) evaluated records of 624 consecutive gunshot autopsies in Germany, and carried out binary logistic regression analysis in order to identify characteristics of suicidal and homicidal gunshot wounds. They noted that females constituted more of the homicide victims than suicide victims (26.3% vs 10.6%), and that more than 1 gunshot was found in 5.6% of suicides (maximum 5 shots) compared to 53.9% of homicides (up to 23 shots). Suicidal gunshots were fired from contact or near-contact range in 89% (7.5% of homicides), and the typical entrance wound sites were the temple (36%), mouth (20%), forehead (11%) and left chest (15%). However, uncommon sites did occur, including the back of the head,eye, ear and nape of neck. Read more: www.forensicmed.co.uk...

Well, if someone were to kill themselves due to a gun shot to the head, then there are usually two places someone would do it.
1. Stick the gun into your mouth, and aim it a bit upward in order to strike the brain. AKA "intraoral"
2. Stick the gun at the left or right side of your head right above your ear, then pull the trigger.
It wouldn't make sense if the bullet originally entered the back of the head, and came out of the front though. Go ahead and stand up, make a "finger gun" with your index finger, middle finger, and your thumb acting as the hammer. Now, place your "finger gun" behind your head and press it up against the back of your head a few inches above the end of your spine. After doing that, it's pretty easy to tell that doing it this way is the most awkward position to shoot yourself in. You'd be holding the gun upside down. It's a little bit of an unnatural, and uncomfortable way to shoot a gun.
You also have to take into consideration that the the finger gun you just made is most likely smaller than the Glock 20's overall length. So, do it again, except this time hold your "finger gun" out away from your behind your head by about 1 - 2 inches or so. Though, I guess it kind of depends how long your hand/fingers are individually. Mine took up about 6 and a half inches in length. A Glock 20 has a length of 8.22 inches. After taking that into account, it makes it even more awkward, and it strains and shakes my shoulder.

Maybe that's the way he did it, who knows, I could be wrong. But rationally speaking, it would seem like someone wouldn't go about it that way.

what i found very strange about this case was that in the geneology database adam lanza died one day before the shooting.
not to mention that they didnt find his dna on the weapon ?
they said he only had 2 weapons yet they find the fully loaded assult rifle he used in the shooting still loaded and untouched in his car trunk ?
this whole thing stinks to high hell
all of us sitting here trying to make sense of it all is the equivilent of trying to make sense of a cartoon show
most of this event if not all of it seems more fiction then reality
and somehow if this event was completely independant from the goverment
we really need a whole redaction on how they handle a sensitive case such as this

They found his DNA on the weapon, just not on the trigger, which is not suprising seeing that DNA doesn't stick to everything.
Might want to check you facts before posting.

Apparently shooting yourself in the back of your head is the most effective way to commit suicide. I am sure AL knew this. The question I guess we have to ask is, why does the ME state it was through the mouth

You are not really questioning though are you? You are insinuating ( and thats what I find offensive ) because of a discrepancy in some documents that a disturbed young man didn't take away precious young lives. Its repulsive and conspiracy gone too far. Bad taste as far as I'm concerned. Merely my opinion. However you are probably right. If this is the norm here it isnt the place for me.

But of course. This is so much more unlikely than your government killing off innocent children.
