Political Crossfire Forums

So im pretty gullible. I like to believe everything and that way when the truth comes out i can say i knew it the whole time. With that being said I was a sucker for the Sandy Hook conspiracy and got sucked in, spending like 2 hours watching videos on youtube. Here is the original one I watched, its the best one i found (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... IoPjfLnEFY).

Point #1: The parents.
I don't have children, but I know if I lost a child this way there is no way I would go on national television, or local television for that matter, to talk about it. Some of these parents went on TV TWO DAYS after the shooting...are you kidding me? And I know people grieve differently but out of the 27 casualties, you want to tell me so many of those families were people who felt no problem with "grieving" on national television...most of which didn't even shed a tear?

Point #2: The Random Guy the kids were with.
You're a teacher...or bus driver...or whoever (this dude changed his story a lot) and you rescued a classrooom of kids from a school shooting...would you really leave them with some strange man?? when the FIRE HOUSE is directly behind his house? i dont think so. If i rescued kids from a shooting i would not let them out of my sight. period.

Point #3: The Casualties
Im not sure if this point was made in this video or in another one i watched, but there were no injured. In recent shootings (columbine, Virginia tech, the theater shooting) they all had casualties. Kids are small and quick...am i supposed to believe this guy is that great a shot?

Point #4: No emergency vehicles at the school.
now this footage could have been taken later after all of the emergency vehicles were moved, but in all the news stories i watched, none showed any EMTs, cops, fire trucks at the school, most were at the fire house down the road where they STAYED. none left...where are all the kids? where all all the fatalities? did they up and walk out?

ok those are all the point im going to make. The last thing i will say is this is supposed to be the work of the government in hopes of us losing all of our gun privileges which i dont think is that far fetched an idea. i would LOVE someone to do the research and prove to me this is all crazy talk because the whole thing really freaks me out.

bush did 9/11

I'll address all your concerns one by one.

Point #1: Sometimes after the lost of a love one you don't want to focus on the lost. You want to reminisce all the good times you've spent with them. That's why the parents may seem happy.

Point #2: The dude could have just been lying. Maybe the shooting did happen, but the teacher never drop off the kids, but some creepy dude decided to make up a story to the news about it, because the media will report anything they can get.

Point #3: Kids are nimble and quick, but they are also weak. I haven't tested this theory out, but I assume kids die quicker from bullets.

Point #4: What are you talking about? There were plenty of emergency vehicles.

I think when it comes down to it, everyone behaves differently when it comes to a situation like this. People grieve in many different ways. Understand that some people are in shock for WEEKS after a child's death and the reality of it may not kick in until well after the funeral. So if the the footage is talking about people that day, most are probably in shock/denial and not really fully grasping the situation.

People do irrational things when in shock. When we had our bad car accident in 1997, our car ended up in about 3 feet of ice water about 150 ft off the highway. It was 26 degrees out and my mom got out of the car, trudged through the water/ice and went to check on the people that we hit. Then came back through it to check on us again. Then went through it again to check on the people and talk to the paramedics when they arrived. If she had been rational, she would have known to stay out of the water, else risk hypothermia/frostbite. But she was panicking/in shock. So she didn't act as she normally would have.

in regards to the kids, if you pull a gun on a kid, they are likely going to just stare in disbelief. Or freeze/cower. Most kids that young don't know to try run and hide. Its not something people in small towns probably talk to their kids about much - running for cover if a guy is walking through their school shooting kids.

Also, he was apparently hitting them multiple times, not just once.

The only red flag I see (if true) are the memorial pages created before the shooting.
