So sad. What's even more upsetting to me is that some of my Facebook friends are buying into some of it and questioning certain accounts of what happened. Ugh.

I feel like I heard about a professor somewhere in Florida was saying this. It was on the news a week or two ago.

As much as I normally support fact checking the media, I find this pathetic. Those poor parents would do anything to not have this be real and instead some of the people who took in the children during the shooting are getting harassed.

Kinda reminds me of those same people who insist that the moon landing was faked, or that the Holocoust didn't happen!!

I just hope these people have had proper background checks and don't own firearms!

The "hoax" crowd is getting a lot of attention here in CT; they apparently have been harrassing one of the residents who took in some children who escaped the shooting.

A woman who is a former candidate for AG posted something on her Facebook page that sounded as if she was buying into the hoax theory. That went over really well here in CT, as you can imagine.

Father of Sandy Hook Killer: 'You Can't Get Any More Evil'

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/...re-evil-n48546

Speaking publicly for the first time, the father of the Newtown, Conn., school killer says he wishes his son had never been born.
……
"You can't get any more evil. How much do I beat up on myself about the fact that he's my son? A lot."
……
"With hindsight, I know Adam would have killed me in a heartbeat, if he'd had the chance," Lanza said. "I don't question that for a minute. The reason he shot Nancy four times was one for each of us: one for Nancy; one for him; one for [his brother] Ryan; one for me."

And what I find really interesting:

Meanwhile, Lanza refuses to talk about a lingering mystery: where or how his son's body was disposed of.

"No one knows that," he says. "And no one ever will."
