The gun control argument stops now. I know it's fun to argue about it in the heat of the tragedy when you can get all worked up about it but it's pretty disrespectful and if you don't care enough about the issue to make a separate topic for gun control then you don't care enough to shit on the tragedy by exploiting it.
A gun control topic can be found here

Also stop posting links to his facebook. TL will be no part of an unconfirmed witch hunt.

Technically yes, but I doubt a thread of a bit over a dozen pages on some internet gaming forum is relevant in the grand scheme of things compared to ... the massive media outlets? Media outlets which are also spreading misinformation and causing witch hunts on the internet against other people with the name Ryan Lanza.

It is him, no doubt. City is correct, age, and his twitter history speaks for itself.

This post is TL in a nutshell.


But... the verdict of our psychological profiling team of white-knight liberals is final. FINAL! K!?!

so things arent adding up in all the facts of this story to me... if he is 20 and had a kid attending school there he would have fathered him at 15 or earlier. He came into a school with 4 handguns and a bulletproof vest and just execution style killed children. read accounts of serial killers and phsycopaths that kill children and see how even for them it is a hard undertaking. This dude just goes in and rapid fires 18 kids, it sounds like someone on a combat cocktail. You would be shocked to learn the lengths those in charge would go to in order to steer public opinion

is it that hard for people to realize that there are many people with the same name?


as for the shooting...who would shoot kids in a kindergarten class? must have a serious mental illness and be a psychopath. and there were 2 of them at least.. this has got to be one of the worst tragedies to ever happen on US soil

America deserves the scorn it gets. It really does. We're a country of gun-saturation and mass-murder of schoolchildren. Next time we go to invade some "evildoers", let's check when the last time one of their elementary schools was ravaged like this school in Connecticut was. This is a national shame, that we continue to even debate the merit of gun-ownership while we proliferate the world's deadliest weapons throughout our country. Ban them, heavily, now. Take them away. You can have your freedom to bear arms when those children have the freedom to go to school without feeling absolute terror, which is never.

Or, better yet:

Is it that hard for people to realize that if someone is dead, spamming their internet public profiles accomplishes NOTHING AT ALL, other than giving them the attention they craved in the first place?

Nothing will get in the way of crony sensationalist news reporting, even if it involves mentally and emotionally scarring people for life and possibly propagating a culture that provides the basis for sensationalist violence.

Firstly, I apologise if this isn't appropriate to put here (if it isn't then I will glady edit it out) but to answer this question; yes that is what psychologists say, but they don't say to ignore the issue entirely, the media shouldn't focus on the killer but on the victims, ie not name the killer or show photos or anything like that, but make it clear how it hurts people (although putting a camera in front of someone so soon afterwards is insensitive itself).

He was 24 or so, apparently. You can remove your tin foil hat now, the man isn't out to get you.

From the development of this, it sounds like this was the stop of something like the extermination of his entire family? This is absolutely insane.

The children where only collateral?
