In situations like this go to the local tv news affiliate websites. Usually they have the best info because they have the most resources on the ground covering it.Serious question. What are some examples of non-mainstream media that are reputable and know to tell the truth?
Well, in defense of the news, you guys are speculating and are demanding every detail....now. Everyone should just chill and let the investigation play out. You will find out soon enough.
I'm not but I'll tell you this. Wherever I go, I am eyeballing everyone around. ####### sucks but man if you are wearing all black, you are instantly on my ####list from the word go. This country is virtually producing these lunatics on an assembly line now. 16 years of schooling including college and all those years I never heard of anything like what has been happening in the last 20 years. Worst back then was a fist fight. If someone pulled a knife in the whole county school district it was collosal news.
Same thing happened to me but with a squirrel. I felt bad for a very long time because it suffered.
It's all so very confusing.So, if this is true, they found the Dad in the home and one other body (which originally was said that it was the youndger brother). Have they confirmed who that is, if it's not Ryan the older brother?Sounds that way. But the way the day has gone, who knows.
Yeah it is. According to twitter, Ryan Lanza and Adam Lanza are related, and both are denying it. Very odd. Maybe there are two Ryan and Adam Lanza's in the same town? Maybe hackers have their accounts?It's all so very confusing.So, if this is true, they found the Dad in the home and one other body (which originally was said that it was the youndger brother).

They are dead and the killers are controlling their social media.lol the whole thing is such a mess. There was definitely a Ryan Lanza on Facebook, who grew up in Newtown and now lives in Hoboken NJ. I was on his profile within like 30 seconds of the time his name was first mentioned on CNN. That page has since been deleted but these recent screenshots make it seem like he's still posting that he was at work, he's not the killer etc. So either:He's the killer and the screenshots are fakes?He's the killer's brother who was killed and the screenshots are fakes?He's the killer's brother, but not the brother who was killed, and he's posting on Facebook unaware that his mother/brother are dead?He's totally unrelated to the killer(s) and it's just a complete coincidence that his name is also Ryan Lanza and he also grew up in Newtown and also lives in Hoboken?I can't figure out which of those, if any, makes any sense to me.Am I missing something here?
If he's going to Iraq or Afghanistan maybe. I suspect personal protection has improved since the early days of the war but I know it was pretty common place for the troops to buy their own protection because they either weren't issued any or it was woefully unprotective.
How the heck could this maniac be walking free in the 1st place? Someone had to know he was a ticking timebomb.
What in the world is going on with the media... Might be time for us to take a step back and analyze how the media covers these tragedies. On that note, the way the media is covering this reminds me of the Newsroom episode this year on the Giffords shooting. The show can be very preachy but I think they were spot on in lambasting media stations for trying to be the first to report any new fact without any real confirmation or account of the effect the misinformation may have.
A friend just shared this on FB, I'll be reading before I pick up my daughter from school this afternoon: Talking with Kids about News.
Pretty sure it has been removed. This the reason why we only have a screen cap.
Just coming in here to post this.My heart aches for the families of the victims, and the other students and families at the school. But I am just astounded at the insensitivity of media members who think getting the story from the kids is so important at this stage.
Agreed.
Good Post! And Agree... Glad my kids are young enough I won't have explan this....
Thanks for posting.My daughter is already a little paranoid about making sure the doors are locked and such. I do not want her scared to go outside, to school, etc.A friend just shared this on FB, I'll be reading before I pick up my daughter from school this afternoon: Talking with Kids about News.
So sad. Anything these days to get a story.
Agree
If nothing else, tell her to hide if something like that is happening.Thanks for posting.My daughter is already a little paranoid about making sure the doors are locked and such.

I'm going to have think about this real real hard before we talk.
Here's another one someone linked to: Crisis and School Safety, Talking to Children About Violence: Information for Parents and EducatorsThanks for posting.My daughter is already a little paranoid about making sure the doors are locked and such.

So people showing compassion and offering prayers over this is making you angry? I suggest logging off and not reading this board if you can't handle that.
No. I see no reason why calling for prayers would make anyone angry.
It's odd...seems like despite being several hours later we know so much less then we knew earlier
I think with all the other shootings we tend talk about Teenage or older kids/adults. When talking about kids as young as 5, it brakes a boundary that has never been crossed and somthing for most parents that shakes them to the core.
You need some time off the internet
As an ultra-hyper-super atheist allow me to say "shut the f up".
