Not The Onion, rather the Danbury News-Times reports: Newtown school board greets Sandy Hook skeptics with silence. Yep, these freaks really have no shame.
A dozen or so self-described skeptics of official accounts of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting appeared Tuesday night at the Board of Education meeting, each taking the allotted three minutes to address pointed questions to board members.
Wolfgang Halbig, the most prominent member of the group, raised questions about everything from the scale of police response that day to their refusal to accept his expert help in analyzing the event. He suggested that his legitimate efforts to get answers have been thwarted, and accused board members of toeing an official line.
"Board members, these are your children," Halbig said. "We want answers. We want truth."

"Board members, these are your children," Halbig said. "We want answers. We want truth."
Now who is this Halbig guy? You may recognize this face from Sandy Hook conspiracy site. This is Halbig.
The News-Times describes Halbig:
Halbig, a former Florida state trooper and U.S. Customs inspector, describes himself as a school safety and security consultant. He claims to have given school safety training and assessments to thousands of school districts nationwide, and to be a frequent speaker on safety at school board conferences across the country.
He is one of the more prominent of those who question official accounts of what happened the day of the school shootings. In numerous interviews he has criticized police response as inadequate, and on his website, sandyhookjustice.com, he poses 16 questions he says officials have never satisfactorily answered about the event. He also claims to have been threatened for persisting in his efforts to get answers to those questions.

This other out-of-town asshole showed up, with a prop of a figure of the Connecticut governor:
Text: "Here hangs Gov. Malloy Oath Breaker" and "Expose me w/ Sandy Hook...I'll give you back your 2nd Amendment rights!"
Wow. But at least give 'em credit for acting on their idiocy instead of being mere Internet Tough Guys.

That freedom of speech is carried to the point of the isa e getting 3 minutes to rant is also insane.

I mean, the man is former law enforcement and he gives talks nationwide! So therefore what he says is believable.
Sickos.
