Living in Newtown, I can confirm for everyone that there are deaths in the event. I can also confirm that funerals occurred; be it all closed casket by families that myself nor my people in town had ever heard of (Which isn’t important, it’s not THAT small of a town).
Not a lot of people in that town own guns. If they do, an AR, a Iszmash shotgun (Spellius Wrongus) and a 10mm Glock are particularly odd choices to own.
There were other people apprehended very quickly. There was an APB for a maroon sedan with a blown out rear window - The window was blown out from gunfire.
And yes, that is our medical examiner. He’s an odd character.
The stories don’t make sense, and should be investigated. It’s the job of the media to investigate - But they do not, and will not - That’s been proven time and time again.
So just like the history of our own “president”, we simply don’t know what happened. We aren’t being told what happened, so we MUST draw our own conclusions. It’s a shame that people will be getting hurt in the process - Families that sustained real losses and have their losses doubted by the world. That happens when no one tells a believable story.
All of what’s going on around us lies in this limbo of misinformation. We aren’t told about things like birth certificates, legislative processes, school records, etc. So we are left to investigate for ourselves.
I blame, as usual, the media. Fully responsible.
“If they do, an AR, a Iszmash shotgun (Spellius Wrongus) and a 10mm Glock are particularly odd choices to own.”
You certainly have a different view of the appropriate level of personal armament than we in TN do, at least before that terrible epidemic of Tragic
Boating Accidents on TVA lakes. On AR or AK variant plus at least one semi-auto handgun, 9 mm. & up seemed to be pretty common around these parts.
Do you know any local police officers. It would seem that they would be in the know. Wouldn’t they come forward on obvious discrepancies, even if “off the record”?
Hard to believe that local responders could be shut up so easily.
Thoughtful post; thanks. This inability to give the public truthful information spans administrations. Those run these investigations prefer their narratives over believability every time.
Thank you. I’m sorry for all the pain and concern.
I hadn’t heard about the rear window blown out by gunfire. The sedan yes. The blow out, no.
Now, the Bushmaster comments make sense.
For example: Sleepy little town in no particular location. Isolated locale for a school.
Why would it be true that "it's the job of the media to investigate"? What gives them that authority to be the final authority?
If there are enough citizens, particularly CT residents, and especially local residents who do not believe what they are hearing, then why do they not form a citizens enquiry, even a citizens grand jury ?
Have you taken your questions to the Newtown Bee???
How about the police and firemen and first responders who live in your midst. Have you asked any of them your questions???
We hear of people detained at the scene They have been identified as Christopher Manfredonia and an off duty officer from another town. Is that all true.
I can imagine that the fear and the frustration of the normal Newton citizens must be there.
I am praying for you and your town, and the other citizens. I am really sorry you have to go through this.
I am sure there were a couple, or a few deaths and I am sorry about that loss of life.
Not if they get them from their brother, a Kingston, Rhode Island cop.
