Fear of being committed may have caused Connecticut gunman to snap

It sounds like Adam Lanza's mother was actually trying to do the right thing. I disparaged her before, so I apologize. If this story is correct, she was trying to have him committed, which was the right thing to do.

I still don't know why she didn't have her guns secured. But apparently she realized her son was out of control, and was trying to do something about it.

Very sad, all the way around.

Here's the story:

Yeah, she was spot on. Teaching her mentally unstable kid how to use automatic weapons was JUST what he needed. Just think, had she not spent so much time schooling him, som of those kids might have survived. But Adam's mama taught him to double-tap his victims.

I think you should be committed, Unawhiner.

There is nothing at all right about your support of that whacko's whacked out mother.

Unless you consider her a freedom fighter!

You intentionally misunderstand, Assup. Of course she should have kept the guns away from her kid. I said that.
May well be but the term "snap" is incorrect.Latest word it was a well thought out plan with the destruction of computer hard drives.He planed it and carried it out.

Your tone is almost always confrontational. Your sources almost universally discountable and your substance is with few exceptions little more than a paranoid rants against the hookers and johns who seek to take away your freedoms.

Do you realize how fucking pathetic these FACTS make you appear?

and you call others names?

Put things into perspective and maybe you'll find a way to leave that closet in your mamas basement and mingle with real breathing folk...

Whatzup, you're just like a child. How many times do you have to be told that there were NO automatic weapons involved. Even the SEMI-automatic rifle was left in the car.

As for the guns, maybe they were locked up. Remember this kid is pretty smart. He may have seen the combination or knew where the key was. Why not wait until we know?

Thats the latest word, the semiautomatic Bushmaster (AR-15 platform) was left in the car along with a shotgun.

I think you need to look up the word spiteful, you're using it wrong.

You need to update the Connecticut Governor ...

"Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said Monday that state lawmakers should try again to enact a ban on high-capacity gun magazines like the 30-round magazines that Adam Lanza used to fire off dozens of rounds in rapid succession at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Connecticut has its own assault-weapons ban, dating to 1993, but the model of rifle Mr. Lanza used is not covered under it.
Mr. Malloy took time again to praise first responders in light of the news that Mr. Lanza had hundreds of rounds left when he stopped shooting at others as the police were closing in and turned one of his guns on himself.

http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/201...ing-aftermath/

And the NY Times.

You mean there were shell casings lying around on the floor of the school (ever been inside a school and walked on the floor), and those shell casings came from pistols? Forensics?

If the liberally-biased, Obaminable obsessed media, is lying to us, then this is GREAT NEWS ..... and you should report it immediately ....

.... we don't need a ban on semi-auto weapons re-instated, because of the Connecticut tragedy .... he left his in his car!!!

We do know one thing ... your poster child in Oregon for CHL didn't leave any shell casings of his .22 on the floor in the Mall!

I'm reading that each victim was shot at least 3 times. This kid was sickly methodical.

"The Real Me"

I went back to the doctor
To get another shrink.
I sit and tell him about my weekend,
But he never betrays what he thinks.

Can you see the real me, doctor?

I went back to my mother
I said, "I'm crazy ma, help me."
She said, "I know how it feels son,
'Cause it runs in the family."

Can you see the real me, mother?

The cracks between the paving stones
Look like rivers of flowing veins.
Strange people who know me
Peeping from behind every window pane.
The girl I used to love
Lives in this yellow house.
Yesterday she passed me by,
She doesn't want to know me now.

Can you see the real me, can you?

I ended up with the preacher,
Full of lies and hate,
I seemed to scare him a little
So he showed me to the golden gate.

Can you see the real me preacher?
Can you see the real me doctor?
Can you see the real me mother?
Can you see the real me?

That's the key to avoid all of those officer deaths from being shot:

Rather than them having all of that training and carrying 45's, 40's, 10's or 9's .... just carry a .22 and scare the criminals to death by pointing it at them before running into a store to hide!!!

I suppose there is a bitter lesson to be learned here.

If you have a psycho kid that you need to have committed, you'd better let the guys in the white lab coats handle it without telling him about it.

. . . But really who could have guessed what horrible consequences good intentions would have created?

My wife commits people all the time, she does a danger assessment beforehand, any indication of possible problems, she has armed riot police in full gear at hand.

[British police do not generally carry firearms, and her patients have never had possesion of a firearm, so far. But knives have been used to threaten].

He has stated such online and it was posted on the internet. Most CHL carriers believe him, too, apparently. So don't worry about them having firearms and body amour ... the last guy he scared to death did also.
