Are you kidding me? Did any of you catch this??
Been watching it 'live' and they sent the live feed to a news reporter at the neighbor where the kid lived. The reporter states, "The neighbors said that around 9:15am they saw police surrounding the 'kids' house and taping off the neighborhood and telling everyone to evacuate". Did you catch that? 9:15am!
The shootings were reported around 10-10:30am. The police DID NOT supposedly learn the identity of the shooter until between 11-11:30am. YET, they are surrounding and taping off the neighborhood of the 'kid' at 9:15am well before the shootings took place.
Am I the only one that finds this a little OFF? They were at the house before the shootings took place.

There is a good chance that someone called the police about the father being shot before the shooter made it to the school.
Not everything is a conspiracy......

I've thought about home schooling for about a year now. Every time I bring it up to my husband, he thinks I'm crazy....perhaps not so crazy now though.
This is whole mess has my stomach in knots.
I just informed my wife that I am pulling my kids out of school until after new years....
if this shooting is an indication of the loonies who think the world is coming to an end, there may be more who think they have "nothing to lose" by killing others at this point.
While I know it is drastic, I have to do what is in the best interest of my kids.

So at 9:15 he is in where? New Jersey? and then by 9:45 he is at this school in Connecticut?
That does not compute.
I must have missed something

So he killed his father in NJ, then drove to Newtown and killed another 26 people including his mother, then possibly killed himself. And he's 24. Sounds like he needed to be put in an asylum a few years ago...

In North Korea, there is an idea of a 3 generation model of punishment, most notably in the infamous Gulags.
The idea behind this model is that if you commit a serious crime, you are punished as well as your parents and children... covering a span of 3 generations.
Now in fairness, this probably isn't implemented in the most humane or "fair" manner in North Korea, but the idea itself is somewhat intriguing. Forced accountability.
Atrocities like what we have witnessed in Connecticut today are perpetuated by a fundamental lack of accountability, in my humble opinion.
The cowardly murderer has no repercussions to his actions that will effect him personally or those he loves so he is free to carry out his darkest desires without accountability.
North Korea might not have it right, but they may be on to something.... just maybe.
