Ok, tin-foil hat time. Consider that this was carried out in a planned manner, with easily accessible guns. It is sounding more and more like an FBI informant provided the means, then failed to procure an arrest. And Obama fighting back tears on teleprompter? Really? Less than 6 hours and already calls for new legislation on NPR? Really? Cops were at the father's house (reportedly) at 0915 but the shooting didn't start till 0930? Really? Girlfriends in a purple van dressed as a nun? Please!
Someone tell me how I'm wrong to see this in this manner. Show me how the systematic dismantling of our shared national identity doesn't go into warp-drive over this.
I say again. Something is very, very wrong here.

From the Advocate article about the father:
While the road was taped off during the investigation Friday night, Geralyn Petrafesa, who has lived on the street for 14 years, said the lights were never on in the Lanza home, which was one of the few on the block not decorated for Christmas. Read more: www.stamfordadvocate.com...
What an odd thing for the reporter to focus on, no Christmas lights... Why bring that up?

I have been talking to my wife about this very topic. The escalation of these events seem to be heading somewhere to to meet some goal.
A mass shooting by an armored psycho(s) in a place that idolizes gun-play(movies) for adults
A mass shooting by an armed psycho(s) in a place of worship to affect faith
A mass shooting by an armed psycho(s) in a shopping center with all ages of people involved
And now a mass shooting by an armed psycho(s) in a school with innocent children
This effort is doing two things. One making people fear leaving their own home, and two bringing all walks of life together against one common enemy.
I also get the impression that they (whoever is organizing this) is getting desperate. I cant imagine something worse than hurting kids. If next week we get a report about a shooting in a nursing home, well that will cover about everything.
I just know one thing. I will be a criminal if they ban guns, because I REFUSE to give up my 2nd amendment to protect my family.

True but I'm under the realization that unfortunately the average citizen can no longer go head to head with the armaments of our government. Maybe until the first world war we had a chance, but nowadays, not a chance. So with that concept in mind, I choose to use the 2nd amendment to arm myself to protect family and myself.
One common occurrence with these shootings is almost every single one of the shooters has mental issues. Well perhaps its time to take a look at all the wonderful drugs that are being prescribed to people. Maybe, take a real long look at the side effects over time. We did not need it before, why do we need it now? I guess having mental issues makes you a better shot too. Because the kill ratio is pretty high for some random nutjob to hit so many targets.

That deserved its own space. And it deserved repeating.

One other quick thought, the OR shooting was beyond eerily similar to the CO shooting last summer.
Did this happen just to take the attentive eyes off of that fact? I tried to watch the news last night, but couldn't see through my tears, so I don't really know how this one happened,only that it sounds different so far.
Like you say almost always OR is it threw in on some MSM site or story and becomes fact.
One that was found totally sane is Anders Breivik. No notable mental illness or medications or even abuse.
When a true one lone gunman kills many people, people instanly think they have a mental illness anyways due to the horrific nature of the crime but if you have stripes on your arm and are doing it on orders it is just their job. Many people cannot see past that like it is two different things alltogether when the result is very much the same.
