Sandy Hook - it doesn't pass the smell test.

[Jeff Winston]

Sigh.

Isn’t it enough that some nutjob shot up a school and murdered 20 kids (not too uncommon in a post-Columbine country of 310 million people, do you even have any remote idea how many people that is?) and now liberals are (100% predictably) using the incident to shove their gun control agenda? Does everything have to be a conspiracy?

People have addressed a lot of these, but I’ll give you my immediate thoughts.

First: You can find something “odd” or “suspicious” about just about any incident that ever happens, if you just look hard enough.

Now:

1) “this was NBC, and not some fly by night news agency.”

That’s your mistake, right there.

2) Were those the med examiner’s exact words? I doubt it. Even if so, by that time he knew the choices were: Shotgun, semiauto (probably 9mm) pistol, or .223 “Bushmaster.”

“Bob, which was it?” “Well, Jim, it was the Bushmaster.”

3) Isn’t .223 supposed to “tumble,” or something, and cause increased tissue damage?

4) “How on earth did he keep from getting struck by a ricocheting round?”

Maybe by putting most of the rounds straight into other people’s bodies.

5) Those guns are LOUD.

Maybe that’s why Lanza was wearing hearing protection.

As far as hearing damage is concerned, you probably wouldn’t hear about it. How much have you heard about the psychological trauma suffered by victims? I haven’t heard much if anything. It’s not because there isn’t trauma. But which of the young victims, or their parents, wants to give the entire country a blow-by-blow description of it?

Aside from which, most of the victims were in one room that Lanza basically wiped out except for one child. Most everyone else was outside of that room.

6) “pop, pop, pop”

See 5.

What are the possible scenerios ?

Mass murder .. carnage all over the place .. children ushered THROUGH the carnage .. don't look

Mass murder .. carnage all over the place .. children ushered THROUGH the carnage .. look

Mass murder .. carnage all over the place .. children ushered ANOTHER WAY .. don't look

Mass murder .. carnage all over the place .. children ushered ANOTHER WAY .. look

That's pretty much the only scenerios I can think of

If a kid looks and sees carnage, the first mention of it will be 'dealt with' and we haven't heard of any traumatized kids

If everyone obeyed the don't look directive ... welll .. I just don't believe that based on the fact that I am one of 6 boys and I reared three ... boys are morbidly curious ... girls don't play nazi zombies, but boys do.

If the children were led out away from seeing anything, the kids will think it's all a game anyway ... a fire drill ... except sometime in the future they'll become more adultly aware and ... I don't know .. by that time, who knows.

Like Timothy McVeigh .. it came and went very quickly and what's left is the assault on the second ammendment.

I made this brief list of links that answer the most asked questions regarding Sandy Hook. I just got tired of going back and pulling these up and wanted them all in one place. Please add whatever I missed:

Interview with one of two mothers who witnessed the kids running down to the firehouse, the Lanza’s Honda doors opened [indication that it had already been searched], the broken glass at the front door, the unusual quiet just before gunshots rang out from inside the school, and the kids subsequently evacuating the building:

What difference does it make?

—What difference does it make?—

I should have guessed you were a Hillary supporter and trolling the site.

OK It took me a while, but now I get your attempt at humor.

A lot of things seem to take you a while. You will get there. Until then, think before you speak.
