CBS reporting that the guns were purchased legally

Impossible if he is actually 20 as reported. You have to be 21 in CT to buy a handgun.
Maybe he bought them in another state?
Still illegal if he was buying from a Gun dealer. Most people selling their own personal guns also ask for state IDs and state CCWs, so it would be very difficult to buy one.

I have no idea how they could determine that.
Also, look at this.


His picture was all over CBS and CNN. Hes probably gonna be able to sue and get millions of dollars. Lucky bastard.


Do we know that is him actually posting on the page?
Look at his latest tweet.

It is terrible. Waking up to this was just unspeakable especially the reported 28 dead. It also wasn't surprising that a American was behind it.


Yeah, this is definitely the time to be hating and stereotyping someone for their nationality.

Well, it hasn't been a week since our last mass public shooting, and wasn't a month until the one before that, and a couple months since the temple and theater shootings. I don't see how now isn't the time to examine wtf is wrong here. If we have to continue waiting a respectful period after mass shootings to talk about possible root causes, I doubt we'll ever be allowed to talk about it. It's always too soon after the last one.


Well, he said it as if he shot them because of his nationality. These kinds of shooters are called Avenger Killers and they usually try to top the last big shooting and even idolize those who came before them.

So in a way it's a snowball effect. The psychology of it is depressing. All I'm saying is that basing it off nationality is an immature reaction. That's like saying after a bank robbery, "Oh, of course a black man is responsible for that terrible robbery."

Pretty barbaric if you ask me.

The problem is, it is accurate. Anywhere else have mass media frenzied coverage of mass public shootings more than once a month for the last few years? We shouldn't be offended at the stereotype when it's true, we should be trying to figure out how to make it untrue rather than worrying someone bothered to point it out.

If it was John Brown, I wouldn't be as concerned.

But Ryan Lanza isn't exactly a common name.

Do atrocities such as this happen in other developed countries?

Not near as often, or near as bad, to my knowledge.

I bet the President is gonna say "Rest assured, our schools are safe" Sure thing buddy.

The other tweets from the guy are quite disturbing - too disturbing to be coincidence.

some sources are reporting the teacher in the classroom was his father.

Interesting. The killings could've been more directed towards his father with the others being seen in affiliation. Of course, I'd need a bit more to go on than this. Moar.

  • 12.14.2012 12:09 PM PDT

You better close this sig when your done.

I have Fox News on 24/7 so I woke up hearing this story.

Words cannot describe how I feel right now.

But it was said he was dead. I have a hard time accepting a dead person can tweet.

  • 12.14.2012 12:10 PM PDT

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

My mom just told me about this when I got home. The only thing I can say is it's really just tragic. I wonder now if these men are the first to have the "I'm going to die on the 21st so I will just do whatever" attitude. It's things like this that make me worried to go anywhere next week. Sadistic people.

If that is really him, he's going to be rich here very quickly.

Damn media is so hyped up on getting the jump on everyone else.

I'm hearing the Mother was the teacher, and died there. Reports say the shooter killed his father earlier.

Perhaps he gave his account credentials to some other disturbed person?

We'll just have to wait and see the truth. If it's not him then it's a really odd coincidence, and people will hate him for it even if he walks away with a mountain of cash. But if it is him then it's even worse that either himself or someone else is tweeting on the account.

Im guessing you didn't here about the Norway massacre last year. Over 90 people died.
