This is a different scenario, a presumed mass murderer whom is now deceased, totally different than your ranting reply. How can you violate the privacy of a dead person?

Your right to privacy does not end when you die.. esp with regards to medical records..
Adam is dead. There's a bit of a difference if you didn't notice. His image cannot be tarnished beyond what it already has been so there shouldn't be an issue, especially to privacy, which if the fed has it's way, there won't be any private medical records, especially for gun owners my friend.

Fine everyone wants Adam's records, then you give your medical records to everyone as well, sorry but this has gone far enough.. Can't ask for one without giving up your rights to privacy.. Or does that rule only apply to one segment of the population and not another..
I want to see your privileged records now... Don't wanna give em to me? Well hey I think I have the right to see them lady... People applauding this are not thinking of the ramifications of making one person's records public while keeping their own private..

Slippery slope... first it's the records of the deceased, then the hospitalized then you or me, it's a debate that was offered and rejected in New Hampshire in 2001 after the WTC bombings (I was in on those hearings being assigned up in Manchester and Concord) and it should be rejected now.
I seem to remember Baines in Manchester wanting the records of all the homeless people in the city, to make sure that they weren't mentally ill, and the Manchester PD telling him he was on crack.. (then again Baines was a moron)

Why on Earth would this be so devastating to you? What do you personally have at stake in the release of this information? I could see where someone who has involvement in a cover up would be concerned like say, certain government agencies or the like. Where exactly do YOU fit in? Perhaps you can explain why this would be so personally invasive to you?

I actually agree with you about not losing your rights when you die and your privacy being protected if thats what you wished however a mass murder is what makes knowing what happened in this situation different. When people go to jail do they lose some rights?
And as a citizen of this state, I have a vested interest in making sure they don't use this case as a testbed for more invasive regulations
