    In competition with another mass murderer??

    http://boston.cbslocal.com/2013/02/1...mass-murderer/


    Two law enforcement officials say Lanza saw himself as being in direct competition with Anders Breivik, the Norwegian man who killed 77 people in July 2011.

    The biggest fucking enabler of this shit is the fucking sensationalist media. They put these guys up on fucking pedestals and glorify their actions, then you have a bunch of copy-cats wanting their moment of fame as well.

    I'm not saying they should ignore it when it happens as its pretty big news and people deserve to be informed; just not dwell on it for days and days on end, making heroes (or anti-heroes) out of them.

    Hardly any of these guys would do it if they didn't know they'd be showcased for the whole world to see and obsess over.

As of oligarchy so of tyranny, the end is wealth; (for by wealth only can the tyrant maintain either his guard or his luxury). Both mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms." -- Aristotle, Book V, 350 B.C.E

    I don't believe a word the media or authorities say about this guy or this 'supposed' crime.

    NEWTOWN, Conn. (CBS) – Sources tell CBS News that Adam Lanza, who shot and killed 26 people at a school in Connecticut, was motivated by another mass murderer.

    Two law enforcement officials say Lanza saw himself as being in direct competition with Anders Breivik, the Norwegian man who killed 77 people in July 2011.
    "Sources"? It that kinda like Wikipedia?

    Oh, and the two "law enforcement officials". I assume they are trained, degreed psychologists? They interviewed Lanza and know how he "saw himself"?

    Why would anyone write such pointless bullshit - especially when does NOTHING but highlight the truth that the MSM encourages more nutcases to be "copycat killers"?

    Honestly, I don't believe anyone was killed (except maybe Lanza). It was all just a training exercise extended into a grade B Hollywood production for the purpose of furthering the government's gun grabbing plans.

    And it worked. Everyone is wringing their hands and crying about "Sandy Hook" and wanting to "do something" about it.

    It worked before. Fly a few airplanes into the WTC buildings, fly a cruise missile into the Pentagon, blame it on "terrorists" and bam - the President has instant support for the Middle East war.

    Nothing like a false flag "attack" to sway public opinion in the desired direction.

    Watch for another "attack" soon. The "Sandy Hook" thing came really close to working, but not close enough. They need one more.

    In competition with another mass murderer??

    I fear my son will never be able to own anything stronger than a weak handgun with 9 bullet max and be personally limited to one firearm. He will not grow into a man with the same rights that I have. Shame. Our founding fathers warned us, a government in debt is not of the people, but of the lender.

    Sounds like it's time to "restrict" the FIRST Amendment, because we HAVE to do something, right?

    In that case I think we can expect a lot more Dorners to crop up.

    If that happens, it will be because WE (you, me and all of us here) allowed evil people to prevail.

    When the local CBS radio station carried the story yesterday, the story also reported that a large number of extremely violent video games were found in Lanza's basement "playroom" where he would play these games for hours. The room was darkened with all the windows painted black as well.

    I think I'd be more disturbed if an adult male had only family/ children's games.
