  I have 3 siblings in the autistic spectrum (one's also got asperger's), and several friends who are autistic, and not a single one of them is capable of violent outbursts in such a form. The worst that they could do is yell and cry. I really doubt that his autism alone could have done anything, but I don't doubt that it could be a contributing factor.

  Quote from Space Pirate Nithiel;998770:

  I like how everyone is assuming he has mental problems. There have been no statements saying he had mental problems. Not from his parents. Not from his brother. Not from his friends. Not even from the police. In fact, the way he planned it it looks very clearly like he DIDN'T have mental problems.
  
  So before you go assuming that he was mentally unstable and feeling sorry for the man that murdered 20 children in cold blood, remember that some people are just assholes. Not every murderer has mental problems.

  
  
  if you go into a school shooting kids you have some serious fucking mental problems

  Or shooting kids is probably a lot easier for the shooter than shooting up high scholars or people at the mall. The shooter was too much of a pussy to go after defenseless kids and their teachers. However he's dead now and his mom is dead, we wont know until his older brother answers. Well apparently he haven't contacted him for 2 years so he is more surprised, if hes innocent hes screwed either way thanks to his younger brother.
  
  Security wise, I notice the elementary school around my area barely have police or school ground security. The school are fenced, compared to my highschool with a giant steel gate surrounding the campus ._.
  
  12/21/12 is coming, be on alert people, there are too many crazies running around slaughtering people this month ._.

  PRESIDENT OBAMA:
  

  We can't tolerate this anymore. These tragedies must end. And to end them, we must change. We will be told that the causes of such violence are complex, and that is true. No single law -- no set of laws can eliminate evil from the world, or prevent every senseless act of violence in our society.
  
  But that can't be an excuse for inaction. Surely, we can do better than this. If there is even one step we can take to save another child, or another parent, or another town, from the grief that has visited Tucson, and Aurora, and Oak Creek, and Newtown, and communities from Columbine to Blacksburg before that -- then surely we have an obligation to try.
  
  In the coming weeks, I will use whatever power this office holds to engage my fellow citizens -- from law enforcement to mental health professionals to parents and educators -- in an effort aimed at preventing more tragedies like this. Because what choice do we have? We can't accept events like this as routine. Are we really prepared to say that we're powerless in the face of such carnage, that the politics are too hard? Are we prepared to say that such violence visited on our children year after year after year is somehow the price of our freedom?
  
  All the world's religions -- so many of them represented here today -- start with a simple question: Why are we here? What gives our life meaning? What gives our acts purpose? We know our time on this Earth is fleeting. We know that we will each have our share of pleasure and pain; that even after we chase after some earthly goal, whether it's wealth or power or fame, or just simple comfort, we will, in some fashion, fall short of what we had hoped. We know that no matter how good our intentions, we will all stumble sometimes, in some way. We will make mistakes, we will experience hardships. And even when we're trying to do the right thing, we know that much of our time will be spent groping through the darkness, so often unable to discern God's heavenly plans.
  
  There's only one thing we can be sure of, and that is the love that we have -- for our children, for our families, for each other. The warmth of a small child's embrace -- that is true. The memories we have of them, the joy that they bring, the wonder we see through their eyes, that fierce and boundless love we feel for them, a love that takes us out of ourselves, and binds us to something larger -- we know that's what matters. We know we're always doing right when we're taking care of them, when we're teaching them well, when we're showing acts of kindness. We don't go wrong when we do that.
  
  That's what we can be sure of. And that's what you, the people of Newtown, have reminded us. That's how you've inspired us. You remind us what matters. And that's what should drive us forward in everything we do, for as long as God sees fit to keep us on this Earth.
  
  "Let the little children come to me," Jesus said, "and do not hinder them -- for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven."
  
  Charlotte. Daniel. Olivia. Josephine. Ana. Dylan. Madeleine. Catherine. Chase. Jesse. James. Grace. Emilie. Jack. Noah. Caroline. Jessica. Benjamin. Avielle. Allison.
  
  God has called them all home. For those of us who remain, let us find the strength to carry on, and make our country worthy of their memory.
  
  May God bless and keep those we've lost in His heavenly place. May He grace those we still have with His holy comfort. And may He bless and watch over this community, and the United States of America.

  Open your eyes people. Do you really think Adam Lanza was the shooter? Please.
  
  Here are the facts:
  
  1. The were no (living) eyewitnesses that actually saw Adam Lanza firing.
  
  2. The police report states that Adam Lanza was found shot in the chest with his weapon in his hand, but it doesn't mention powder burns. And besides, who kills themself that way anyway?
  
  3. Several eyewitnesses initially reported seeing a mysterious man in an ballcap and sunglasses leaving the scene. Afterwards, all but one of them retracted their story and said that they were under a lot of strain and may not have actually seen this. Threatened into keeping quiet perhaps?
  
  Face the fact that this was a planned operation by the powers that be to force gun control down America's throat (take the guns away, no one can resist when you bring about marshal law). If you believe anything else, you are just another pawn in their game.

  Are you fucking serious.
  
  Can you actually just curl up in a hole and never reappear here again because I can't honestly believe you think that.
  
  I've heard a lot of stupid things in the past few days regarding this, but nothing as stupid as what I just read.

  [S]That's[/S] what she said. You better be joking, because that conspiracy theory is pretty silly. No need to bother explaining how and why, really.

  I'm more worried about people overreacting about 12/21/12 than I am about the date itself...
