Clearly, strict GC laws would have stopped this from happening. /s

[caligatrux]

Ah, more evidence that parents are stupid and the government should be in charge of raising our children.

[Moonman62]

Apparently his GE executive father who bugged out of the situation has no responsibility at all.

I get the impression she's your typical ‘Know-it-All’ Liberal educator... (she was a teacher, right?) who knew better than everyone else and was NOT going to follow their advise.

[dfwgator]

I find that more troubling than the GC angle.

[wolfman23601]

Yep, government rights trump parental rights. That is the theme here.

I get the impression she's your typical ‘Know-it-All’ Liberal educator... (she was a teacher, right?) who knew better than everyone else and was NOT going to follow their advise.

And when it all went sideways it was somebody else's fault.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

It probably is true that the school let the overly-protective, know-it-all, pushy mother make tragically bad decisions against the school’s better advice. However, you know that they are going to draw exactly the wrong lessons from this and use it to enact laws that permit school and government bureaucrats to force kids who aren’t murdering psychos to bend to the government’s will over the protests of their parents.

Yep, government rights trump parental rights. That is the theme here.

Yep, they get a two-fer here.

******************************

She paid a high price for being wrong - tragically, so did a lot of kids/teachers.

[Blood of Tyrants]

But it was the gun’s fault. If his mother didn’t have guns, he would have had to build pipe bombs or something.

[dfwgator]

Some kids are just plain old bad seed, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

number one....you can't force treatment on someone, and we don't ever, ever want the govt to be able to do that...

number two....evil is still evil....evil is allowed into ones mind and soul....Lanza knew right from wrong...he could function somewhat...

and number three, my aspergers adult dtr could come up with the most obscure trivia question, and generally she's a deep thinker, but ask her what 5 plus 6 is and she'll need to get a calculator...ask her what a quarter after two means, and she has no clue....and then there's a certain monotone of speaking, a certain dwelling on certain subjects, sometimes from grade school.....she is smart too but she is limited..she is not violent..helps around the house.....

Lanza was extremely limited...he was odd....he was antisocial...he dwelled on death and killing....

Mommy should have taken the hard steps to have him committed...

[cherry]

perhaps the divorce centered on Lanza.....probably dad wanted him committed and mom didn't want too....

but give a little room for grace here....its extremely difficult when you have children that are not "right"....only when you have one of those do you exp. the despair.....thankfully, most people learn to deal with it...

[cgbg]

A “legend” has been created.

Enough said—do your homework.

[exit82]

Sorry, I keep reading Lazamataz in the headline.....

[lightman]

There is free speech.

There is hate speech.

THERE is criminal terroristic threat speech.

And the DOJ is fanning the flams.

[Bringbackthedraft]

But the gun is still the blame, so much so, that its looking for a new home out of state. ???

[Will88]

Always had the impression that the mother resisted admitting how serious her son’s condition was and prevented his being treated or even institutionalized as he condition warranted.
