I did just that, and now have it stashed for any future need.

You claimed that it was inconceivable that a reporter from a newspaper that was around for so long could have been mistaken in reporting who they had spoken with in an article. I am simply pointing out that it is entirely conceivable that news can be misreported by any newspaper, no matter how long they've been around.
I would also add "scrubbing" the article is an entirely reasonable response to discovering a gross error. Reporting you spoke to someone you clearly could not have, especially when that person was killed in a horrible manner, is certainly not something you want people to find out. Would a retraction have been better? Sure if you want to call attention to your shoddy reporting. Of course attention was called to it anyway so now they're doubly embarrassed.
No different than people who delete asinine posts rather than owning up to them. Is it the right response? Depends on your perspective. But it doesn't make it proof of anything other than ineptitude.

I understand where you're coming from, because it's "wishful" thinking on our part to "want" them to be alive rather than the horrendous tragedy that it (unfortunately) most suredly is! I believe "denial" is one of the emotions we are said to go through when a death(s) occur that affect us.
Oddly enough I hope no one did die...and I hope all is well and its all an act or Shakespearean skit of epic proportions to garner support for gun control etc....because THAT angle...doesn't involve 20 children being slaughtered....I think I can handle being lied to far better than knowing 20 children are dead.
Almost as if you are going out of your way to believe the crap being shoveled which is more scary than anything else really.

She died.
There is more than one person on here with friends or family affected by this. Some just dont care to advertise it.
And no, those are not actors.
These theories are silly and disrespectful. There is more info that needs to be known about this, but there is not one shred of proof behind ANY of these claims that the event was faked.
Actually, there is plenty of evidence to suggest the incident was staged somehow. The girl Emilie is seen in both pictures with her family, and then at the memorial service, even though she is supposed to have died. And her sister, has had her legs chopped off, at least it appears that way in the PHOTOSHOPPED image.
Next, there were originally 2, then 3 shooters reported, then they disappeared,
and the examiner claimed the kids were shot by a rifle up close multiple times, and then it was claimed Adam Had handguns, and not rifles, and that was after it was originally claimed it was his brother and not Adam....so many inconsistencies so far, and you sit there like a sheep or a lemming. You should check yourself.
1)You do realize that Emilie Parker had two sisters, right? And that they look very similar to her, right? And as is proven by the very visual evidence people use to say she isnt dead, they had matching dresses, right?
2)There were 2-3 suspects reported, and possibly multiple shooters. Big difference. And that in NO WAY backs the idea that this is all faked.
3)Lanza had the rifle on him. Early reports were incorrect. Pretty simple. He had his brother's ID on him, which is why they originally id'd him wrong.
You are everything that is wrong with conspiracy theorists. As I have said, I do believe there is more to this. But I also know how to apply simple logic. You take one thing and cling to it, even if all logic dictates you are wrong.
You still have given absolutely NO logical rebuttal to my earlier claims. You come back with a rant about 9/11.
Throwing baseless theories out there and refusing to apply logic does not help get to the bottom of anything. All it does is give easy examples of why alternative theories should be disregarded.
Call me a 'sheep or a lemming' (could you be any more cliche) all you want, the facts do not support your assertion in any way.edit on 21-12-2012 by captaintyinknots because: (no reason given)
Your whole post is based on your opinions, not facts.
Unfortunately you are forgetting it is ILLEGAL for any news outlet to just "SCRUB" a news story because they are stupid. It boils down to monetary liability and slander.
