Just think if it was Joe Bidens home town Wilmington, Delaware. They had cameras that covered everything in the city even before 9/11. The first US city to have Complete Information Awareness at least at the standard of that time.Almost half a million paid by anonymous donor. This is the same town building google barges. There is a history of companies like By and Large LLC front companies doing things there.

But Sandyhook could not even get a DVR?

It's stupid, any security camera can be made into a "recording" security camera. Just hook it up to a computer and put one of the millions of software available. Hell, most cameras come with their own software to use. When I go on vacation, and no one else is here at the house, I use 4 40 dollar webcams as security cameras. Anytime something moves in front of them they start recording until movement stops for more than a minute. So for like 200 more dollars, you got a recording system. Makes no sense that was not done, it's not like it is super expensive.edit on Fri, 29 Nov 2013 15:37:16 -0600 by TKDRL because: (no reason given)

OK, I don't believe for a second that the school had no recording equipment. Either it was disabled or we are simply being lied to. This is one of the many aspects of this case worthy of investigation. Should be simple enough to produce evidence that this system was installed without recording equipment, right?
However, claiming there was no recording serves two purposes. The first is rather obvious. No recording, no Lanza. Authorities can say whatever they want about the case with little cause for backup.
There's a second benefit to the establishment of claiming no recordings. The outrage will get people clamoring for more recordings. We need to go ahead and record every step everybody makes, right? That way next time we'll have evidence. You guys asked for it...

There is conflicting reports of this. There is much that points to the system being upgraded to a state of the art system before the "incident". The report claims that the system that was installed did not capture video recording. I don't think that is true at all but again, it's not about what you know, it's about what you can prove. People are working on it.
Inside events, wen we had like activities like tech club night sleepovers. We’d spend a weekend or overnight in the school, lock it down. I’m in charge, as a director of security. You had 30 kids, some of them were middle schoolers whose parents allow them to come over and stay overnight. He did partake in those.
He would wait where there was no kids and then move along and then he would take the locker situation. But he had an escort at times. I mean there’s staffers. I was around. My people were around.
Q: At some point did you learn that Nancy Lanza had taken Adam out of high school?
A: At the same time I was leaving the Board of Education, she pulled him out too. He couldn’t come back for that school year.
He may have pulled back farther at that point. I don’t have an answer for that because like I said, I was gone. I had no interactions with Adam after that
I remember that he would opt to sit on the computer playing games like that than to go play DDR, which is Dance Dance Revolution.

From the Novia interview there's some really odd stuff:
Early on Ryan, unfortunately, he had to [be] somewhat of a caregiver for his brother, when all he wanted to do is be a typical 16 year old and have his fun, which meant video shoots and computer games and all kinds of stuff throughout the night. But yeah, they were together at one point.
That is the sole reference I've seen to Adam Lanza being a "typical" 16 year old kid. Every other statement Novia makes about him is "a kid with problems, shy, withdrawn, unhealthy, etc".
This might be really important:
Q: At some point did you learn that Nancy Lanza had taken Adam out of high school?
A: At the same time I was leaving the Board of Education, she pulled him out too. He couldn’t come back for that school year.
Ok, Adam could not come back to school that year? He was expelled? This is also the same time Novia left after some sort of "altercation" with a student. I wonder if Nancy didn't homeschool Adam for a lack of alternatives.
Did Ryan stay close?

You own firearms?
Yes I do.
And you’ve been an instructor on the range?
Yes.
You believe that shooting with Ryan and Adam was a mistake?
Yes, I do.
How did your connection with Adam evolve from the moment you first met him on through the year and two years that he was in your orbit?
From when I first met him, I recognized him as a person who would be likely to be bullied or picked on. … I identified him both because he had mental disorders, challenges. … And my objective at that time was to watch him very closely and make sure that didn’t happen.
-You would remember what game he may have played?
The best of my recollection, and some people have said there are other games too, but it was World of Warcraft at that time. But again, these are simulators, and the more a person like him is playing these games, even a normal human being like yourself and I who are healthy would be desensitized towards the violence. A person in his situation would become involved to a much higher level, where they might act out, just as my son did on the racing game.
-When it was observed that Adam in high school was playing violent video games, did anyone try to dissuade him?
A lot of kids were playing violent video games. But they’re healthy. Healthy kids. Adam was not a healthy child.
Maybe they both where on the range Nancy and Novia ??
[You believe that shooting with Ryan and Adam was a mistake?]
"Yes, I do."

It's Wooster Mountain State Park I believe.....
Activities: Hiking, Skeet, Trap and Target Shooting, Hunting
Services: Shooting Range
Location: From the junction of Route 7 and Route 84 in Danbury, proceed south on Route 7 for 2.3 miles and turn right into the Park.
Fee: There is no parking fee at this park.
Wooster Mountain State Park
Now let me throw an abnormality into the mix:
From the Wooster Mountain Shooting Range Facebook Page one learns that their website/contact is directed to a Westport, CT-based website called www.train2shoot.com...
Since we seem to agree that the GPS data indicates that Lanza was going to the Wooster Mountain Shooting Range and we have noted that:
Sunday- May 27th,. 2012
Starting-7:37pm Yogananda (Newtown)
Ending - 7:56 pm Wooster Mt. State Park (Danbury)
Starting- 8:05 pm Wooster Mt. State Park (Danbury)
Ending-8:30pm Yi)gananda (Newtown)
My question is simple: What was Lanza doing going to the Shooting Range after hours?
The latest the Wooster Mountain Shooting Range is open at any time during the year is 7pm (and it appears that Sunday hours are 12-3).
Thoughts?

No, not too young to own a weapon at all. Just handguns.
