Adam Lanza " was always very free-market economics and capitalism"

[deutsey]

I thought this was a strange comment by someone who knew Lanza and his mother:

SNIP

Adam Lanza also was “an organic vegan” with a conservative worldview, he said.

“He was actually politically aware for a teenager,” he said. “… He was always very free-market economics and capitalism, as I think most people are in this country.”

1. ok, now we know the real culprit

dancing video games!

In addition to his technological and weapons prowess, Adam Lanza was an excellent dancer – at least within the confines of the Dance Dance Revolution video game.

“It’s an arcade game as well as on the home systems where you basically dance around to a pattern on the screen,” Hanoman said. “And he was extremely good at it. He would often accumulate an audience of people around watching him…. (But) because it’s a two-player game … if anyone tried to come on the platform with him, no matter what he was doing, he would just turn around and walk out of the arcade.”

2. Fuck him

And fuck his personal "story".

This is what? The fiftieth- sixtieth mass shooting in America?

The time for compartimentalizing this crap is over.

4. I think people are trying to figure out why he snapped and

killed 27 innocent people.

I don't think it's so much about his "personal story" as it is about people trying to know what triggers someone into doing something so evil.

6. You know what?

I remember quite clearly Columbine. I was with my kid, shopping at a local comic book store. The owners had the television on CNN. When the thing was happening, I said - out loud: "Again?"

That was OVER 20 years ago .

EDIT ADD: Sorry - 13 years. It only feels like 20.

7. I agree with "fuck him"

Of course, lead with that as your OP, and I bet it gets hidden in five minutes.

3. Isn't that f*cking special.

That's all I've got.

5. I agree.

I just cannot give a care about him or his Mother.

And I doubt there would be a good fit for him at any college.

8. Sounds like he was a Libertarian...

and right-wing Libertarians love their guns.

9. It doesn't matter what either he or his mother were like before

this happened, or what they believed in. What happend on Dec 14th is their epitaph; their "legacy" is defined by it.

10. Have to wonder how accurate this is vice the other media revelations since this happened

[Barack_America]

11. So he's not like "us". I find no comfort in that.

20 children and 6 heroic teachers are still dead.
