The Media and Adam Lanza

By Mary Lynn Ritch


71 More Children Killed By Guns Since Newtown by Mike Licht, NotionsCapital.com


"Events like this, I said, if they are influenced by anything, are influenced by news programs like your own. When an unbalanced kid walks into a school and starts shooting, it becomes a major media event. Cable news drops ordinary programming and goes around the clock with it. The story is assigned a logo and a theme song; these two kids were packaged as the Trench Coat Mafia. The message is clear to other disturbed kids around the country: If I shoot up my school, I can be famous, " -- The late Roger Ebert on being asked to help find sound bites for news segments by the Tom Brokaw news network after the Columbine Massacre.

Six months have passed since Adam Lanza brutally murdered his own mother and 26 others, including children, before taking his own life ,but it's hard to move on. Unfortunately, the mainstream media exploits news stories like the Sandy Hook Massacre to the point where if people don't get consumed by ridiculous conspiracy theories, political debates or they grow tired of the coverage which is incredibly unfortunate.

Let's face it, homicide is a newsworthy subject. It's pretty obvious with smart phone aps like "Wild About Trial" there are those who are enamored by people who feel the need to kill. They get enraged and obsessed with the thought that someone like Jodi Arias killed her ex boyfriend after a day of sex or that James Whitey Bulger a Boston Mob Boss killed many before spending years on the lam. Bulger even had a popular blockbuster movie based off his life of crime.

While newsworthy and entertaining to some homicide isn't a leading cause of death nationally. Suicide is the more common cause of violent death but it is not a topic that's worth discussing apparently in the news. But according to National Institute of Mental Health, "Suicide is a major, preventable public health problem. In 2007, it was the tenth leading cause of death in the U.S. , accounting for 34,598 deaths. The overall rate was 11.3 suicide deaths per 100,000 people. An estimated 11 attempted suicides occur per every suicide death."

Washington DC - -(Ammoland.com) In the final push toward the Senate gun control vote on April 17 2013, Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) admitted Democrats were flying Newtown families into DC to break a Republican filibuster–he also admitted that those families did not know they were going to be used for that purpose until the plane carrying them was already in the air

The families thought they were coming to DC to oppose “high capacity” magazines. But according to The New York Times, once the families were in the air aboard Air Force One, Murphy let them know they would used “to get a vote on a vote.”

School shooting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2008/09/23/f-school-shootings.html

the first link covers the way they handled it, i can find no other info-google is not my friend.

All i know from my bro, was Vaughan slept in a crawl space,(not sure if that was by choice).He was a goth (theres always been goths) he was not a popular or happy guy.
He did'nt talk alot and had an unhappy home.

Our stepdad was an international journalist(he's not a nice man- alcohol ) so we were international transient kids, so we -i knew alot of kids that lived on the fringe, murder, attempted murder, rape, even one gang rape.

My experiance,occasionally its nature, but usually nuture, not that the nurturers understand what they do.

Just trying to start a debate

from your link Dman
Quote --The common thread is misbehaviour and taking joy while doing so. - i do not believe that to be true. (thats more serial hurter attitude)
most mass doers - it's a one off - resentment- revenge - frustration - its symbolic not so much personal.
With Adam- he was a little kid(at that school)- so JMO - there is no point to try and give adult logic for his reason. How could his emotions, social skills evolve if he is not in social conntact - such things can only be modified by experiance JMO
But the isolation mentioned in the article JMO is a big problem

Exclusive Look At Adam Lanza Records Reveals Picture Of Past

June 28, 2013 | By ALAINE GRIFFIN and JOSH KOVNER, The Hartford Courant


Records reviewed exclusively by the Courant are pointing to the middle school years as a key turning point in the emotional stability of Sandy Hook killer Adama Lanza.

The records, which point to increasing psychological problems in his early teens, are helping paint a more complete picture of Lanza's early years as investigators attempt to unravel the mystery of how the young man, widely described as shy and reclusive, could commit the unthinkable massacre of 20 first-graders and six women.

Information has previously surfaced indicating Lanza became increasingly withdrawn and -- at the same time -- interested in mass shootings in the years before the Dec. 14., 2012 killings at Sandy Hook. He has also been described by friends and family of having sensory integration issues as a youngster and Asperger’s Syndrome as he grew older.

But the information obtained by the Courant reveals new details of his psychological past.

Fundraising drive in memory of shooting victim Dylan Hockley

Family friends of a British boy killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in the USA are holding a fundraising drive in his memory.

Dylan Hockley was diagnosed with autism when he grew up in Hampshire

Dylan Hockley, six, grew up in Eastleigh before his family moved to Newtown, Connecticut, where the tragedy happened on 14 December.

Twenty-six children and six teachers were killed in the shooting by gunman Adam Lanza, who also took his own life.

A Day 4 Dylan is being held today at The Hub in Bishopstoke Road, Eastleigh.

The family fun day is also raising funds for Hampshire Autistic Society, which is backed by Dylan's parents Ian and Nicole.

Dylan was diagnosed with the condition while still living in the UK.

Lin Trott, who is a friend of Dylan's parents, has organised the event. She said: "Dylan left us six months ago and we really want to give a positive outlook to our loss - this day will help other autistic children across our area as well as raising awareness of the condition."

The event will include an auction, five-a-side football tournament, craft stalls and end with a party later.

Meanwhile Nicole Hockley and fellow members of the Sandy Hook Promise Group are continuing to lobby politicians in Washington for tighter gun control legislation in the US.

A victim's grandmother takes on gun violence

Jun. 26, 2013

Written by Mary Sanchez, Kansas City Star

For an activist, Kathleen Glueck is exceptionally polite. When speaking, she reflexively checks her tone, careful to not monopolize a conversation.

“I’m rattling on too much,” she says, unnecessarily apologetic.

Adam Lanza's Pediatric Records Reveal Growing Anxiety

By ALAINE GRIFFIN, [email protected] and JOSH KOVNER, [email protected]

Adam Lanza's 5th grade class photo. (Contributed Photo)

In September of his eighth-grade year, Adam Lanza was wracked by anxiety, his mother told doctors.

So intense were the feelings that Nancy Lanza drove him to the emergency room at Danbury Hospital for an evaluation.

Lanza, then 13, was asked the standard queries by physicians: Was he suicidal? Would he hurt others? His answer to each was "no."

The 2005 episode, detailed in medical records, suggests what some investigators, family members and friends see as a shift in his middle school years to a more perilous emotional footing for a boy diagnosed with a sensory disorder and what a family member has described as Asperger's syndrome.

♦◊♦

The Courant obtained exclusive information from medical and school records that have for months been kept secret by agencies investigating the shootings. The documents span Lanza's life from birth to age 18, including a September 2005 medical summary of the Danbury Hospital emergency room visit.

The information sheds more light on Lanza's childhood and adolescence...

♦◊♦

Several troublesome issues were converging in Lanza's life in 2005.

Nancy Lanza, separated from her husband, Peter, was contemplating moving her son to a new town — Avon — and a new school. But a family member said a health or school "professional" told Nancy Lanza "that would be the worst thing she could do," and that her son "needed stability." Years later, when investigators would try to figure out what triggered the Sandy Hook shooting, they would learn that Nancy Lanza also planned to move her son across the country for college.

And there was anxiety over the start of school in eighth grade at Newtown Middle School. Lanza had just been through a tumultuous time in the seventh grade, when he started at Newtown Middle School in the fall of 2004 and then moved to a new school — St. Rose of Lima — in April 2005. His time there lasted only eight weeks.

Long article ... but doesn't contain any new clues on "Why did he do it?"

Hm. Any issues with priests in that area?
