Day: December 15, 2012

According to reports developing right now Secretary of State Hillary Clinton fainted and has suffered a concussion..

This is yet another developing story on a busy news day of tragedy

According to the AP, Clinton was recovering from a stomach virus but has now sustained a concussion after fainting.. She is being monitored by medical professionals..

The sources reporting to the AP did not reveal more since they were not authorized to speak about Clinton’s condition..

Developing story.

According to a report today Adams Lanza may have posted on 4Chan an intention to kill on Friday.. Paul Joseph Watson from Infowars writes:

The post, which appeared on the 4Chan website, was made at 22:18 on Wednesday night by a user called ‘iKTatjYX’ who stated, “I’m going to kill myself on Friday and it will make the news, be watching at 9am.”
Under the message is a disturbing image of the dead bodies of Columbine school shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.
A respondent subsequently asked the poster where he was based, to which he responded, “I live in Connecticut, that’s as much as I’ll say.”

Some are already criticizing this report as a fraud and a fake, this is a developing story..

The Drudge Report is actually featuring this INFOWARS story above the fold.. A lot of readers online are frantically searching for information on what Lanza may or may not have posted on 4Chan.
Meanwhile, comments on the INFOWARS story are mocking the site, saying that it was had by a hoax and faked by a troll..
We will see..

“If they started crying, I would take their face and tell them, ‘It’s going to be OK.’ I wanted that to be the last thing they heard, not the gunfire in the hall.”

—Sandy Hook Elementary First-grade teacher Kaitlin Roig

A flash being sent out from NBC news:

NBC’s Pete Williams has more information on a report that Connecticut school shooter Adam Lanza may have been involved in an altercation with staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary one day before the murders.

“Our investigators at the crime scene did produce some very good evidence in this investigation that our investigators will be able to use to paint a complete picture”

–Connecticut state police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance

NBC REPORTING: After fatally shooting his mother in the face at her home, gunman Adam Lanza apparently shot his way into the 600-student school – then executed the children at close range, several officials told NBC News.. Developing..

Media trying to uncover the real Adam Lanza in the wake of horrific shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.. The UK SUN is reporting that he was a ‘loner’ and ‘one of the goths’ .. According to the reporting the SUN he may have also suffered from a personality disorder.. Sources tell the SUN: Adam Lanza belonged to a technology club at Newtown High School that held computer gaming parties.. Developing..

The resounding question from the nation in grief: WHY?

An investigation will bring us closer to an answer.. But will we ever REALLY have an answer for madness??

A friend emailed me saying this, in part:

Mental illness has never been a priority in our government, and these are the results. Change has been long overdue. Maybe now something will finally be done about it.

Fascinating point.
Perhaps as we argue again about gun control that will be a red herring (the gun were all purchased legally by Adam Lanza’s mother). .. Maybe the real debate should be about mental illness. Maybe we need to rethink priorities in this nation.
It’s worth a thought.
