I completely agree.
The more I read about AL, the more my initial reaction holds true: this kid was pegged by the Sandy Hook school district has having serious problems early on while still in elementary and an alternative/ special ed setting was posed to his mother but she didn't agree or want to place him for whatever reasons.
She subsequently sent him to a local Catholic school but she eventually pulled him out of there as well and home-schooled him.
I think he held the grudge against the Sandy Hook district the rest of his life, possibly blaming them for "starting" all of his troubles. The school psychologist had been there for 18 years so she may very well have been part of those early discussions/CSE with his mother and suggestion for alternative placement.
JMO but I think we are going to hear more of this in the days to come.
Agree, Hilda Swenson..
Imo, once the smoke settles and the MS Media does some investigating, truly seeking and releasing the full story. We will find that the writing had been on the wall for years, but due to the
enabling by many, combined with the lack of transparency by investigators, imo.It may be years before we know the full story, as in the Columbine school shooting investigation..
Sadly, the CT Sandy Hook School massacre was the tragic results of AL's manipulation and chameleon like ability to hide his true identity, imo..
IMO, AL's final act wasn't impulsive, but a well planned evil act of deviant behavior by a very controlling narcissistic, sadistic, psychopath. AL, not only felt no physical pain, but was also void of many spiritual and human emotions, specifically empathy.
Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eric David Harris (April 9, 1981 – April 20, 1999) and Dylan Bennet Klebold (September 11, 1981 – April 20, 1999) were the two American high school seniors who committed the Columbine High School massacre.
Initial legal encounters
In March 1998, Jefferson County Sheriff's Office investigator Michael Guerra looked at Harris's website after the parents of Brooks Brown, a fellow student of Harris and Klebold, discovered Harris was making threats aimed at their son after a falling out between them.
Guerra wrote a draft affidavit for a search warrant, but the affidavit was never filed. This information was not revealed to the public until September 2001 by 60 Minutes, though it was known by the police the entire time.
The two boys got into trouble with the law for breaking into a locked van and stealing computers. In January 1998, they were charged with mischief, breaking and entering, trespassing, and theft.
They both left good impressions on the juvenile officers, who offered to expunge their criminal records if they agreed to attend a diversionary program to include community service, received psychiatric treatment, and obeyed the law.
Harris was required to attend anger management classes where, again, he made a favorable impression. They were so well-behaved that their probation officer discharged them from the program a few months earlier than the due date.
Of Harris, it was remarked that he was "a very bright individual who is likely to succeed in life", while Klebold was said to be intelligent, but "needs to understand that hard work is part of fulfilling a dream."
On May 1998, Harris typed a letter of apology to the owner of the van, saying he was sorry he did it. However, he was writing in his journal at the same time: "Why shouldn't we, the gods, have the right to break into a van that some mother****er left in the middle of nowhere?!"
