Columbine High School Massacre Discussion Forum
A place to discuss the Columbine High School Massacre along with other school shootings and crimes. Anyone interested in researching, learning, discussing and debating with us, please come join our community!
I feel like something that is very important is what is brought up in the Connecticut documents, in Lanza's emails, about how according him when talking to someone else interested in Mass murderers, he would be happy and excited whenever a new mass shooting occurred, and in between new events, he would be depressed. Adam says, only a few days before he went off to shoot up Sandy Hook, that he was only happy for two hours when he heard about Virginia Tech. I could see it like this: He wasn't happy, and thus, wanted to make himself happy, so he went on the massacre he did. Like it was leading up to the point where he felt he couldn't be happy until he did it himself.

I have a difficult time with Sandy Hook. Of all the mass shooters, he's up there as one that terrifies me. His behavior, his mom mollycoddling his every whim and his overall persona is creepy and disturbing. He shoots his mother in cold blood in her sleep and proceeds to slaughter little children. After reading the report of the officer pulling the bodies from the pile, I can't feel anything but visceral disgust for Lanza. Sorry.
What report is this ?
I've heavily researched most other mass shootings, bombings and major tragedies, and most you can make some sort of sense from what the killers leave behind. I'm not condoning what any of them have done, I'm simply saying they had a reason, however distorted, that makes sense if you study the event and person.
Lanza left nothing behind, besides his odd computer files and postings on online forums that don't include even a hint at what he was preparing to do. I shy away from this topic because it's, to me, one of the most disturbing.

I believe the above poster is referring to this: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I have been trying to figure out the few redacted words in the middle of that report. For the words to be redacted, they must have been disturbing to the average reader. "Were decapitated"? " were badly disfigured"? "Simply fell apart"?
