Adam Lanza's Hard Drive Damaged Beyond Repair? Motive for Shooting Hidden
Christian Post ^ | 12/18/12 | Brittney Villalva

Posted on 12/18/2012 7:00:28 AM PST by KansasGirl

Adam Lanza's hard drive, which was found destroyed in his Connecticut home, may be beyond repair police say, leaving them at a loss to explain the shooter's motive.

When police first discovered the tainted hard drive, they believed that it could serve as a key piece of evidence in discovering why a 20-year-old man would terrorize an elementary school filled with children. It appears, however, that the shooter did not want his motive unveiled.

"The computer's hard drive appeared to have been badly damaged with a hammer or screw driver," law enforcement authorities told ABC News on Monday. Two other sources reported to a local Connecticut paper that the hard drive had been in pieces.

"He was eliminating [investigators'] ability to figure out what websites he had gone to or who he might have been communicating with," one investigator told Yahoo.

The little information that police do have confirms that Lanza was an avid player of violent video games.

Speaking of “others”, what’s the latest on the kid that was “hiding in the woods wearing camoflage”?

Nobody said he was stupid. It appears to me that it premeditated.

I either own an LH-cooled magnet or the 100 lb.-pull retrieving magnet I use to find nails in the grass is strong enough to nuke a flash chip.

I took an old 512 MB thumb drive with a few hundred pictures outside to test the theory (after I backed up those pictures).

Regardless of OS or machine, that USB thumb drive showed up as unformatted and would not format with anything (ext3/4, NTFS, FAT32, FAT).

“I begin to smell the whiff of politically convenient happenstance.”

You forget that any long weapon, including shotguns are considered by the left to be ‘assault weapons’!. And high tech to them is a ball point pen!!

I read in another article that he had been on meds since he was 10 years old (per someone who used to babysit him). I want to know what and why. Also, that they were never to let him out of their sight, not even for a minute.

Wonder if that’s why they grabbed the BROTHERS computer.... unless that was when they thought it was the brother, so they tossed his (the brothers) house...

Why would anyone need the boy’s computer? Oh sorry, never mind, I see, as evidence during the court case against him.

I read a babysitter was told something to the effect
“don’t EVER turn your back on him....”

“When the lead sheriff comes and out threatens to prosecute anyone who questions the official narrative of what happened, something very ‘false flaggish’ is going on, IMO. “

Idle threat. And when/where did such occur?

BTW, I had a dust-up with a Hartford Courant investigative reporter about 10 years ago due to his lies about republican positions. His boss supported him 120% even though I was correct.

Well, we do know that the NSA/FBI have programs where the harvest every byte of data that travels across the internet, so somebody will know what this kid was doing. The actually store everything that crosses the wires, and can go back, and forensically extract particular people’s data as necessary. Ask Gen. Petreus(sp?) about it. They have systems which are connected at the main hubs of the internet, and NOTHING passes through the pipes without them keeping a copy.

I’m no sure he visited to any social media sites. They guy was a complete recluse. He didn’t like contact with people. Seems he just locked himself in his room and played violent video games day and night, and his Mom, for reasons I will never understand, indulged her mentally unstable son in this behavior which is unhealthy for even for sane person.

“hiding in the woods wearing camoflage”?

Yeah, funny how the kid “hiding in the woods wearing camoflage” who said "I didn't so it" to parents outside the school just dropped off the radar.

He was arrested so the LEOs have his name. Who is he?

“When the lead sheriff comes and out threatens to prosecute anyone who questions the official narrative of what happened”

A “manager”?

An agent provocateur?

>>Wow. You got all that from some newspaper reports?

No. I got most of it from observations of the teenaged boys I come in contact with. Very few possess the skills and attitudes to be a man and the ones who do become Alpha Males in a Lord of the Flies kind of way.
