Things that don't add up... (CT shooting)

Posted on 12/14/2012 11:24:47 PM PST by djf

Now I've been watching this news for most of the day. Remarkably, it seems to change every few minutes.

First, we had the name change. Who exactly did the shooting? Ryan? Adam? Someone else?

Then, we hear that someone in camo garb or something was apprehended in the woods. When I first heard this, I assumed it was the brother and that was why there was confusion about the name.

But turns out that the brother was actually at work - and was not in the woods. So who was in the woods?

We hear that the mother is a teacher at the school. Then we hear that she was actually a teachers assistant. Then I see a brief interview with someone who DOES work at the school and who says "Nobody here every heard of her."

Then, tonight, she is reported as being unemployed.

First, the guns (which we have YET to get a clear description of the types and calibers) were stolen from the mother. Then, they were "legally purchased"... but no indication when or from where. Latest, a brief statement that they were "legally purchased with a license provided by a family member"... Now I'm not trying to label anybody here, but it sounds a little out of character that some suburban mom in small-town New England would have that many guns.

Huh?

The ONLY picture we have seen of this guy so far is an out-of-focus pic taken in 2005! 2005? He didn't have a drivers license? A girlfriend? I can't see how he might get a gun without some sort of valid photo id.

Last I heard, only three of the children made it to the hospital. If so, this would be a stunning percentage kill-ratio wise for the guy. In fact in most public shootings, the vast majority are wounded, but not killed. Did this guy have some kind of training?

Too many loose ends. The story keeps changing.

Am I the only one who is having trouble thinking that this was just some whacko dude who blew a fuse and started shooting?

My guess is the guy in the woods was just walking his dog. I walk my dog near an elementary school every day. I usually wear a green upland style field coat. I am sure they would think that weird.

IMHO, the left politicians manifest a shark-like glare in response to the event with preplanned talking points already tooled up to remove the right to bear arms.

Those who are simply reacting to the horror of the event need to remember that these same left leaning politicians have very little to any conscious respect for life or children as manifest in their promotion of abortion and partial birth abortion.

Their behavior is closer to a Satanic cabal having made a human sacrifice to extend their personal agendas.

The murders themselves are more easily understood as having been demonically influenced, if not possessed in their heinous extremes.

I tend to suspect our generation is witnessing demonic involvement more closely in those who we mistake as our peers and brethren. When they form the majority and are in power, the foundational elements of our Constitution will appear foreign to their instincts because they hate Christ before they hate all others.

“How do we know for sure that Ryan was not the guy in the woods?”

From what I have read here, Ryan was at work.

[ Ryan Lanza told law enforcement he had not been in touch with his brother since about 2010. ]

These is odd to me. Who goes two years with no contact with their younger brother who lives near by? I hope investigaters asked why. Was he estranged from his mother then? Because his younger brother lived with her. Maybe this family was no so functional, afterall. Was it a messy divorce?

[Oh. Alive? Really.

Do Adam and his brother have the same father?]

As far as we know and the parents did not divorce until 2009.

I’d only add that they prey on the innocent—especially children—because many children still embrace Christ while those older seem to forget. They hate that innocence and purity wherever they find it, and wage war on it daily.

You think Valerie Jarrett was behind this?

This thread has sunk to a Michael Moore level of conspiracy theorists that make the 9/11 truthers seem sane.

Fox News is reporting he did not get buzzed in but broke through the glass.

Yes, that makes sense. Glass doors are so universal these days. People make up "security protocols", and don't even consider the obvious.

and 0bama reads words by noon

Obama's press conference didn't start until 2:15 p.m., for whatever it's worth.

I had to look that up, but I knew he didn't speak at noon because I saw the fake tear wiping, yet I wasn't home at noon.

At noon yesterday I was at my neighborhood elementary school taking individual photographs of all of the second-graders for a Christmas ornament project. It wasn't an easy thing to do, hearing the young voices laughing and talking in the hallways and classrooms when I already knew about the Connecticut shootings.

Many Asperger people are very intelligent.

The report that Lansa's had Asperger's may not be true like many other things that have made the news. I agree, it will be interesting to see more information about it. I know little about it except the one person I know who is about 30 now, intelligent, especially when he was younger, but physically clumsy and antisocial. He has never had anything to do with guns and has never been violent with anyone or anything.

All I know, is that it took an unusually cold blooded killer who was VERY proficient with a pistol. That takes many hours of practice. This person was able to carry this out alone, under great stress, in an unfamilar area. Doesn't sound to me like something a skinny, quiet, timid, shy autistic would be very good at. Maybe he isn't the same person as his picture indicates. The picture published was some years ago.

Maybe he was just a damned psycho as one FRiend pointed out on another thread. Even so, that level of skilled with a pistol required many hours of practice, IMO.

I sure as hell would not go down without a fight.

I'll do whatever I can to protect my students. I know you feel the same way.

Especially since he yells out to the press as he is taken away "I didn't do it".

The brother Ryan posted those exact words on his facebook - It wasn't me. I didn't do it. Was this a very strange coincidence or was the msm rumor mill so messed up they were playing at that game of telephone where one person whispers something and it passes down the line until the end when it's totally different? IIRC, the man in the woods was reported before they named the killer. Which means the brother couldn't have posted those same words until some time later. That definitely doesn't add up. Geez, FOX just reported a young white guy in cammo is hiding in the woods after ambushing an ambulance and shooting and killing a deputy in MO. What's with all these angry armed young white guys? Hussein will use all these events to tear apart the 2nd.

"As far as Zimmerman is concerned. I can’t feel sorry for him either. He was a minimum wage security guard and ended up winning a lawsuit against NBC for 5 mill." Where in the world do you get your information? The suit against NBC was just filed in the last week or so. Your credibility just went to zero.

Has anyone seen a picture of this guy in the woods or is that a figment of the press’s imagination.

I would think that if the press witnessed him being led away in handcuffs that someone somewhere would have snapped a photo while he was yelling at them.

There was a timeline started someplace that said the school doors lock automatically at 9:30. By 9:41, the first 911 call came through.

Most schools start at 8 - 8:30 so that's a bit late to lock the front door. I've thought from the start that he was already inside before the doors locked. If his mother did work there (and that's still confusing) then he'd know what time he needed to be at the school. Reports are that the LE had to break doors to get in so that might be the reason for the broken glass that was reported by children on their way out.

The mom was murdered but his father is still alive and talking to police, I believe.

The .223 never left the car, according to reports this morning. The shooter had two handguns.

Why is the only decent reporting coming from outside the US?
