On December 14, 2012 a 20 year old 120 pound autistic kid with assburgers syndrome strolled into Sandy Hook elementary school strapped and loaded with over forty pounds of weaponry and murdered 26 people in less than eleven minutes and killed a ratio of 26:1 at a 96 murder percentage rate, only injuring one unknown person by a rickshaw bullet in the foot. Thus making this uncoordinated, barley able to tie his own shoe, autistic, scrawny Adam Lanza the deadliest mass shooter of all time. Some conspersists have a hard time believing all this, I happen to be one of those conscpetist. Looking at this picture posted by the social security death index (SSDI) shows that Adam Lanza died on December 13, 2012, but as I mentioned before the Sandy Hook massacre did not happen until the 14th. Also take a close look at what I believe to be the most important thing, at the bottom of the picture it shows its confirmation, and this was proven to be right. But if that is the case that Adam Lanza did indeed die a day before the Sandy Hook shooting who could possibly be left to blame? Was this just an accidental date error that we keep …show more content…
None of the 26 people killed or even of Adam himself. No photographic evidence has been released or video surveillance, none of the children had open casket funerals, recordings of the 911 calls have not even been released. There is not even poof that he broke this window to gain entrance into Sandy Hook. The parents of the children were not even allowed to see their children but rather they were shown a picture for them to identify them, no parent of a murdered elementary student would be okay with not seeing their child. Yet all these parents were just fine with it. How can we be so blind to believe something where we are simply given a few pictures with gun holes in the walls and we go ahead and believe that 27 people were killed? And the most ironic part of it all, Sandy Hook was
Also, his mother also should not have exposed Adam to guns his whole life and should not have allowed him the full access that she did. Adam’s fascination with death and school shootings was also publicized in the forums that he spent much of his time on, those of which should be closely controlled or monitored for clues or other important information regarding any possible shootings in the future. If someone caught and reported some of the things he said, Adam might have been somehow prevented from committing the mass murder. Lastly, something that the government is fully capable to do but just will not yet, is to advance mental health system reform and
David Benjamin Mrs. Brenner’s Class Period 7 English 8th Advanced 31 March 2015 The Sandy Hook Massacre Many young people have been diagnosed with depression; they show feelings of depression through acting out and bullying. The extreme example of this is hurting others through the use of weapons and force.
[a] Adam Lanza. [b] Mass murderer (Adler 235). [c] Adam Lanza is considered a mass murderer because he killed multiple individuals in one location during a short, continuous time period (Adler 235).

On December 14, 2012, Adam Lanza fatally shot twenty students and six staff members of Sandy Hook Elementary School (SHES) in Newtown, Connecticut before committing suicide. Lanza’s horrific massacre evoked fear and grief across the United States, but it soon became the subject of controversy and debate. Numerous conspiracy theories of government involvement surround the tragedy as some people began to doubt and question the legitimacy of the mass shooting. Because of the growing distrust in the government in 2012, these conspiracy theories became pervasive in the media through the support of prominent “truthers” such as Alex Jones. Although most of the truthers’ arguments have been disproved, the conspiracy theories of the SHES massacre maintains
On the 110th birthday of Adolf Hitler on April 20th, 1999, the most notorious school shooting in America occurred. Eric Harris and Dylan Kelbold shot and killed 12 of their peers as well as a teacher at Columbine high school in Littleton, Colorado. The tragic event sent shockwaves across America and lead to massive changes in public school safety. Serious discussions of having SROs (School Resource Officers) at every school and combating gun rights were some main takeaways people had after Columbine. These issues, however, were not the way shootings like Columbine could have been prevented.
Nothing is more horrible than mass murders, whether its workplace, school, or any place of public assembly it is a tragedy nonetheless. That’s why the sadistic atrocities that took place on December 14th, 2012 in Sandy Hook Connecticut, where students at the Sandy Hook Elementary school were gunned down by twenty-year-old Adam Lanza who apparently suffered from an obsessive-compulsive behavior. Adam Peter Lanza lived with his mother Nancy just five miles from Sandy Hook Elementary, where he attended school for a short time. He had a brother named Ryan Lanza, who was four years older than Adam. Nancy and her husband Peter, Adam's father, divorced in 2009.
“On December 14, 2012, Adam Lanza shot his mother, Nancy Lanza, in the head at her home in Newtown, Connecticut, around 9 a.m.….. and then driving approximately five miles to the Sandy Hook Elementary School, where he shot and killed 20 students between the ages of 5 and 10, as well as six adult workers”(Adam Lanza). Adam action of taking away live did not end there, but continued to haunt the kids that did survive and that did the most damage. “A few nights after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, David Posey heard a strange noise in his house and went upstairs to check on his son. The little boy, who had just seen his teacher and a first-grade classmate gunned down, was pounding on the floor. “I know where the bad guy is," the child told his father, indicating down below, in hell.
Depressed, death, devastated. These three words describe one’s emotion when the loved one is murdered. Murder was expressed in the articles by Martin Gansberg and Larry Getlen and video from CNN. Many claim that 38 people watched a horrified young lady, Kitty Genovese get murdered at Kew Gardens within three attacks. Many also believe that the 3rd attack was the fatal one.
People believe that the government causes certain events in order to make more strict regulations in the country. During the time of the Sandy Hook shooting, President Obama was fighting for more strict gun control within the country. Many people believe that because of this fight the Sandy Hook shooting took place. Society would rather put the blame on the government, rather than accepting the fact that some people just have issues that cause them to perform unthinkable acts. For example, Adam Lanza, the shooter of Sandy Hook elementary.
On April 19th, 1995 Timothy McVeigh parked a rental Ryder truck in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, and lit a short fuse to a bomb on the truck that caused a huge explosion. The bombing killed 168 people, including 19 children that were in a daycare center within the building, and caused over 600 injuries. The Oklahoma City bombing is considered to be the worst domestic terroristic event in our nation’s history. On April 20th, 1995 the rear axle to the rental Ryder truck was discovered with a vehicle identification number that aided law enforcement to the location of where the rental truck was from. The truck was rented from a location in Junction City, Kansas, where employees at the rental shop were able to help authorities
Who would do such a thing? The short story, Ballad of Birmingham is based on a very horrific time frame in history. It is referred to as “The most heinous crime in the history of the civil rights movement” (Alabama University Professors pg. 110).Members of the Ku Klux Klan who made national headlines in the 60’s took the lives of four innocent children who were completely blindsided as their lives were taken in the center of a church. It’s appalling how back then people convinced themselves that they had a logical reason to commit such a horrendous hate crimes.
What’s missing from the typical kindergartener’s backpack? A gun. The ultimate solution to gun violence is more guns, isn’t that obvious? We are in need of guns everywhere to the point where our nation needs armed guards in every school. They say the more guns we have, the more gun violence there is, but in fact it does the complete opposite and solves gun violence.
After all, Eric and Dylan’s original plan was not intended for a school shooting, but instead a bombing intended to kill over 500 people. Although some might object that wanting to get revenge on those who bullied them and feeling excluded is what led them to their actions, I would disagree that that is not the case because they were focused on killing a large group of people, not anyone specific like those who bullied them. The issue is important because people need to understand what drove Eric and Dylan to being the cause of a high school
Adam Peter Lanza was born on April 22, 1992 in Exeter, New Hampshire as the second child of parents Peter and Nancy Lanza. As a toddler, Adam experienced mental impediments which hindered his development. A report detailing Adam’s life before his crimes states that, “From an early age, Lanza experienced significant developmental challenges, particularly with language, communication and sensory integration...” (Ziv Newsweek P6). In addition to his troubled early childhood, Adam continued to show signs of unusual behavior.
So with all these kids dying wouldn't you agree that we need better mental health support, so we can prevent all these shootings? I believe that if we had good and strong mental health support services in the USA then tragic events like Columbine H.S. & Sandy Hook would probably never happen. That is why I am supporting for the USA to talk more about how to create more mental health support programs to help prevent gun violence events.
