Interesting report about the kid and mother. One hour.

 

Click the Raising Adam Lanza video.

Why haven't we been given any info about the investigation?? The motives went to the way side and any discussion immediately turned to gun control. There's nobody to prosecute why not give the people the whole story now

The police have said the investigation will be complete by the beginning of summer. June IIRC. What exactly they release and how detailed the information is anyone's guess.

The investigation can remain secretive indefinitely since it doesn't need to be presented as evidence at a murder trial.

 

I too would like the details of the investigation ASAP and definitely before election season.

You would think "common sense" would mean wait for the results of the investigation before making new laws.

Dupe

 

I don't know if I can watch that video.

 

I'm really not looking forward to reliving those dark days following his horrific acts.

I definitely can't watch it. The sight of his skeletal face literally makes me nauseous.

I couldn't look at the NYT homepage for weeks, because the articles about the kids would make me cry.

 

 

I keep telling myself, some small version of this this happens in Newark and Camden every week, but somehow it doesn't make it better.

What did you think of it?

Hope his grave is pizzed on forever. One mentally disturbed JO has changed the face of gun laws across the country for a long, long time to come.

The bigger JO is the mother. She knew he was a mentally disturbed individual and she gave him the tools to commit this unspeakable act. Adam should have never been anywhere near a range or easy access to a gun.

I'm curious, having not watched this, how can they put a documentary together without facts, like search warrant results, that have been sealed?

They follow the local paper's reporters while they interview the few people in the town that will speak to them. It is worth a look, no joke.

They mostly relied on interviews with friends, neighbors, and people from the community. It gave me a little more insight than I had otherwise. Apparently he was highly anti-social but never openly violent or hostile. He was diagnosed with a rare social associative disorder and later a form of Asperger's syndrome. The mother's biggest mistake was moving him in and out of different schools and trying to take on the burden of his mental illness alone. She had a local support group she never took advantage of, the public high school administrator thought they were making progress with socializing him and getting him involved with other students but she removed him and home schooled instead.

 

Friends thought she only recently came to the realization that her son would never be able to lead a normal life and fully care for himself. From there, she was looking for a special college level program for him and the speculation was she did indeed find one and was making plans to move the two of them out west. Who know's what finally set him off, but I suspect he was done trying something new and ended it instead.
