So now conspiracy theorists are claiming children may not have died and it was all a great big hoax so that Obama could change/impose gun control laws

Not suprisingly, both those professors promote all sorts of other nutty conspiracy theories. I think both are 9/11 truthers to. Why the media gives these nuts any coverage is beyond me!!

I stumbled on some website that made these claims I nearly fell off my chair. Proclaiming actors portrayed the parents, sheriff, the kids. It was obscene, disturbing, and all the time I was thinking I wonder how many guns these nutters own .

You are not fighting with the right woman then.

It's o.k., remember the rule, we always let them think they are in charge.

This conspiracy theory seems to be given legs by none other than Alex jones of infowars. Not surprisingly. Same man who pushes 9/11 theories, accused the govt of blowing up levees during Katrina etc etc! Wonder the media even gives these attention?

Im going to start my own conspiracy theory. Boobs were invented by gypsies in the 1700's ( have you ever seen pre 1700 boobs?) to mesmerize men into working harder, hoping to gain acceess toboobs, thereby making gypsies richer and richer since they owned the companies which boob obsessed men worked for.

Cameras, photocopiers, the boobtube, glasses and beer were all created by gypsies to expand control of even more men!

Sandy Hook shooter " had obession with Columbine"

The gunman who killed 26 people at a Connecticut school last year had "an obsession" with the 1999 Columbine massacre, an official report has found.
Police said there was evidence Adam Lanza, 20, had planned the shooting, which took fewer than 11 minutes.
But they could not establish why he opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown on 14 December 2012, before turning the gun on himself.
Lanza acted alone and the case is now closed, state police said.
While investigators noted Lanza's obsession with mass shootings, they said there was not enough evidence to pinpoint a motive.

The report also noted Lanza's "significant mental health issues" - he was diagnosed in 2005 with Asperger syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder not linked to violence - but said "what contribution this made to the shootings, if any, is unknown".
Stephen Sedensky, the prosecutor who drafted the report, also noted of Lanza: "Despite a fascination with mass shootings and firearms, he displayed no aggressive or threatening tendencies."

Audio tapes of the 911 calls to be released today. Thoughts?

They will be awful but if it's a way to keep this topic in the spotlight I am all for it. NOTHING has been done regarding gun control. Maybe it needs to be a bigger number , maybe 80 kids , 100? What will be the turning point

I hope the parents don't view this as disrespect although I know most of them fought to keep these tapes private. I really think out of sight out of mind and in this case in particular I see this happening.

I wish 911 calls were not made public. There is no public interest in them, the media just has a thing for shocking people needlessly now. Autopsy pictures no, no one needs to see those.

It is happening more often than it did in the past but the prevalence of social media and 24 hr international news reporting means that any human intreast story is splashed everywhere regardless of whether they are sad or happy..

According to the BBC, there have been 130 reported lock-downs in US schools between Nov 9 and Dec 9 2013
