Found via Miguel was this interesting article:
n another Facebook post, Lopez talked about Lanza, 20, who killed his mother, Nancy, before fatally shooting 20 children, six staff members and himself at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown in December 2012.
Lanza wanted his minute of fame, Fort Hood shooter writes
Lopez wrote that Lanza “pretends to be a victim of a mental illness followed by addiction to violent video games” and that the shooter sought “international attention” and a “minute of fame as a villain.”
He added, “It is stupid to me that anyone can have easy access to a powerful weapon without being mentally evaluated. This makes the government indirect accomplice… These bastards have perfected their way of attacking studying previous massacres to gain publicity and their minute of fame as a villain. But thanks to Hollywood and the sensational profiling by the media [they] give more power to those intelligent cowards.”
So another anti-gun anti-freedom “Progressive” enacting violence on others. Really shows the stupidity of the CSGV insurrectionist timeline, given that CSGV is attempting to paint pro-gun conservatives and libertarians as dangerous terrorists, but it seems that most of them would be more aligned with CSGV and other gun ban groups.
Also there is a lot of talk about him being upset about only being given 24 hour leave to attend his mother’s funeral, but the embedded video mentions he CHOSE that leave rather than a longer one so he could attend a training class.
Also sounds like his facebook page was full of combat stories he likely never experienced. Also one interesting point will be that it sounds like the gun he used was a S&W M&P45 which comes standard with 10 round magazines. Extended magazines are available, but I have my doubts he had them.
It will be interesting to see what information surfaces going forward, but given that we still don’t know the details of the Aurora shooting, and this shooter is dead, so no trial will happen, we may never learn everything.
Also it really just sounds like this guy was a crazy nutburger. People ask “Why” when crazy people do crazy things, and that’s a fault committed by the sane. Sane people have reasons for doing things and don’t engage in what they know are a no-win situation like a mass shooting. Crazy people engage in mass shootings because they make sense to them, at least during a period of time around the incident, but that state of mind is not constant, nor would it make any sense to a rational person.
Also its worth noting he was seeing the army shrinks for a good period of time before the shooting, and even they were surprised by this. There is a reason why this is HUGE national news, and the shootings in gang land that take as many victims or more aren’t. These people are so rare that I don’t think we’ll ever be able to fully identify them before they start shooting.
A good solution is to shoot back.
