You don't believe Adam Lanza was any kind of marksman, do you?
I realize people can shoot very fast semi auto but not young, inexperienced shooters.
Do we know he was inexperienced though? His mother owned the guns so he had access to them.
The above sequence is the best the forensic scientists could deduce from the crime scene and there may be small variations, but in the final analysis they matter little. What does matter is that at this precise juncture the gunman had killed twelve victims and wounded a further ten in 15 seconds flat, using only 17 rounds fired from the right hip. Such a staggering performance is on a par with the best combat shooters in the world, and two retired counter-terrorist marksmen ruefully admitted they would be hard pressed to equal such awesome speed and accuracy. Both agreed that attributing such a performance to an intellectually-impaired invalid with an IQ of 66 and severely limited cognitive functions, amounts to nothing less than certifiable insanity on the part of Bryant's accusers. In military terms a fatal shot to the upper neck counts as a head shot, so for all practical purposes those who died during the first 15 seconds were killed by head shots fired with lethal accuracy from the gunman's hip.

Just found this , couldn't have possibly affected Lanza's actions, right?.
There have been reports that Lanza suffered from a personality disorder, was on the antidepressant Prozac,

It is impossible for someone to shoot a bunch of children like that. The red flag for me is that humans are not wired to be able to hurt children.

I dont know him so I cant rightly say. At age 18 I was a proficient shot. I mean these are scared little kid he was going after they're going to freeze up or tumble over each other in fear maybe huddle in a group?edit on 18-12-2012 by zonetripper2065 because: (no reason given)
And the motive for killing kids like this is??
Thats why Im questioning this story so deeply.
I cant even come up with a motive.
Unless it wasnt him, because i can see political motives all over.

In my opinion, someone who has not been trained for years to be able to do something like this could not have pulled it off. I don't care how messed up he was in the head. It is impossible for someone to shoot a bunch of children like that. The red flag for me is that humans are not wired to be able to hurt children. Whoever did this had to be a trained killer, and even then there would have been some hard core conditioning goin on.
It would be impossible for a young man to pull this off by himself. Only someone with years of experience and hundreds of kills could be calloused enough.

Red flags are popping out of the woodwork for me. Here is one that fits nicely with taking their version on faith.
Why would he make vague threats to make us stop posting about it?
Its a toothless threat unless they wanna black bag people or get em on unrelated charges.
Still its quite vindictive and malevolent.

You can? I can't. My point is that the shooter could've seen this and used Sandy Hook as his motive.

What are you getting at? What's the conspiracy de jour now? That he might've had an unnamed helper (who police are purposefully withholding and protecting? Why?)
Fact remains, there are 28 dead people in Connecticut and two more unaccounted for; his girlfriend and best friend who haven't been seen----last time I read any updates.
If there's any disinformation (opposed to misinformation which is to be expected) let it come from someone who was on the scene. There are lots of witnesses who made it through the carnage..
All these theories on the Internet are extremely disrespectful to all involved. Spouting off said-theories is useless and counter productive and only adds to more unfounded rumors.
My gut tells me, the story we're getting (a young man gone wild with at least 3 assault weapons) is precisely what happened only with a lot of 'why' details still left out. This was not a conspiracy sponsored by the government to control your guns. This kid snapped because it appears his mother was about to institutionalize him.
These rumors are so unnecessary at this juncture and I wish they would cease.
Most serial killers are older men, they have been calloused with age.
As well none have ever killed so many in such an intimate way.
This kid was not a serial killer before this incident.
This kid snapped because it appears his mother was about to institutionalize him.
These rumors are so unnecessary at this juncture and I wish they would cease.

If you can't backup that claim definitively are you not also spreading 'rumors'?
This kid was not a serial killer before this incident. Nobody could pull this off as a first time shooting.
