Amid all its political correctness and ideological distortion, one thing often overlooked concerning the mainstream media is its essential strangeness, its near-total separation from any behavior, attitudes, or ideas that could be defined as "normal".
We find yet another example of this in the treatment of Adam Lanza, the Newtown CT shooter. A photograph released by the wire services reveals a delicate-looking kid with a shy smile and a goofy haircut.
The standard reader's reaction would amount to a shake of the head and a "what could have made such a nice kid do it?"
But there's another photo extant as well, one that has not seen such wide circulation:
Apart from the fact that it would scare the hell out of Hannibal Lector, this shot leaves no doubt as to "why he did it": because he was as crazy as they come.
This stratagem involving photographs immediately calls to mind the Zimmerman shooting, when the media released, and heavily played up, photos showing Trayvon Martin as a sweet-faced twelve-year-old rather than the hulking seventeen-year-old tough faced by George Zimmerman.
Given the leftist slant of the media, using that shot made sense. The media circus surrounding that shooting was intended to create a racial incident, to keep the pot boiling in light of the upcoming electoral campaign. That photo did its work well -- most people still picture Trayvon Martin as the innocent twelve-year-old as opposed to the drug-addled teen he became.
But what are we to make of this Lanza photo?

That’s not him on the far, far left, is it? The far right and the middle look right, but the far, far left - is that Adam Lanza, or a FACEBOOK friend?
What did I say two days ago? “he will be an anarchist and the Propaganda Ministry won’t say so! BINGO!!
No advantage? Are you kidding? “it couldn’t be this sweet boy it must be those evil guns!”. You can bet your ass it’s already in print.
I know - I hate to say it but I did not see any tears at all. Most people’s eyes get a little red and you can tell they are crying. I saw no liquid to be wiped so what was he wiping?
I don’t watch much media but none that I saw mentioned the guy was crazy
“Nope,they don’t.”
Cool - I wish them the best.
I think the left one is a recent one and the two on right is when he was a bit younger. He gained weight and dyed his hair black since then. That’s how I’m reading it, anyway.
Where’s the picture of his mother? I saw his father but no pix of the mother.

Nope, Ken, later reports indicate he used the Bushmaster with numerous magazines in his possession.

Yes there is. Those nasty guns made him do it. We need to get rid of the nasty scary guns.
