VERY strange!

His mom is a teacher at that school. He shot his own mother.

That was the name the news gave??? Maybe there is more than one person with that name?

Did he shoot his mother too? (I was on the phone)



TIS

They are reporting ANOTHER family member found at his home in Newton, CT but they don't know relationship.

Yeah, his mother has been confirmed as one of the victims.

Supposedly his brother was arrested a short time ago outside an apartment in Hoboken NJ.

Lanza's Facebook page has been removed. He had posted a picture of himself this past Sunday. One of his friend's remarked on the photo that "this could turn out great" or something to that effect.

My God. My hands are shaking watching this coverage. They're babies.

Something has to change. Fuck the Constitution or whatever it is that won't let us prevent these tragedies. Enough is enough .

The kids were told as they were being rescued, to "cover their eyes" as the walked past the dead/injured. How the hell do you counsel/talk to your child and get a kid that age to comprehend? That memory can NOT be erased.

I understand how important it is for the Constitution to assure us citizens the right to bear arms, but it is of equal importance for the Constitution to protect us citizens and our families. With that in mind I agree that much more stringent controls have to be placed on gun sales. If that means stepping on the rights for us to bear arms, so be it. We've already seen our rights trimmed back in the name of national security, and it's time that these rights to bear arms are curtailed as well. We all have to suffer because of a bunch of sick fucks, but that's the way it is today. Sadly, I want to see the Constitution amended.

Like my wife said, these kids were getting ready for Santa Claus. I really can't take this and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I'm going out for a few drinks. Serious as a heart attack, I am. Right now.

Have a few for me, pb.

These heartbreaking events are guaranteed to to recur. Chief Justice Warren Burger, considered as a conservative and strict constructionist who was appointed as Chief Justice by Nixon, stated that the NRA's interpretation of the Second Amendment as guaranteeing an individual's right to bear arms was "one of the biggest frauds, and I repeat the word 'fraud', on the American public by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime."

Another right wing jurist Robert Bork maintained that the Second Amendment guarantees states' rights to form militias, and not for individuals to bear arms.

This tragedy in CT will take a while to comprehend. It's devastating that so many people have to find a way to move foprward from here.

klydon,

Do you think the Constitution will be amended regarding the right to bear arms?

No. I don't think it has to be amended, but I think it has to be interpreted in the manner that it had been interpreted by Burger. There is relatively very little judicial opinion from the SC regsarding this Amendment.

MSNBC is NOW backtracking a bit, reporting that it could be that Ryan Lanza was not the shooter and that someone else(likely his brother) was carrying his ID.



TIS

CBS is reporting this may not be the brother that did the shooting, but the one that got taken into custody in Hoboken.

JL,

I just heard/posted the same thing on MSNBC. This story just keeps unfolding.


TIS

Yeah, apparently Adam Lanza was the shooter. Ryan, his brother, was taken into custody in Hoboken.

Yup.. I was on Ryan Lanza's Facebook page earlier before it was taken down, and it seemed quite normal up to his last post a couple of days ago.

So both brothers are arrested? Murder runs in the family?




TIS

I agree Kly. There is sufficient latitude in that amendment's interpretation without invoking the amendment process. Despite the McDonald opinion Illinois and Chicago still impose firearm restrictions and so do we here in Texas.

Adam was the shooter. I don't know of any charges against Ryan, although he was taken into custody.

The one Lanza may have nothing to do with it, but they can't take any chances until they sort it out.

My husband works in CT. He said that a little after 9:30 this morning, everyone's phone in the office started buzzing. Since so many of his coworkers live in the area, they were getting notifications of all the local school lockdowns. And then parents started panicking. He said it was awful, but he's not sure if anyone there lost anyone.

I can't imagine the anguish of the families. I heard on the radio that most of the dead children were in the shooter's mother's Kindergarten class. 5 year olds. I can't imagine.

God bless these families and watch over them, help them. I heard the President's speech, and he sounded personally heartbroken. So sad.

They said 40 per cent of gun sales require NO background check. For God's sake, is it trampling on anyone's 2nd amendment rights to do a F-ing background check? Hire & train people to do it if there's not enough. It's a start.



TIS

They just said that the guns were registered to his mother.

Reports say Ryan Lanza is in custody, but not under arrest. Apparently he is giving them information about why his brother did this.

I was reading some eye witness accounts from third graders describing the screams and chaos as hundreds of kids watched and heard their classmates being massacred. It seemed surreal the way the kids were instructed to avoid looking at the murdered and wounded children as they left the school.

This story hits you hard.
