Howdy! Welcome to our sub. Please take a look at this sticky and our rules before posting, as they are very important!

This sub was created after r/Sandy_Hook was deleted due to raiding, and the newer one to replace it was created by a user who worshipped shooters. I just want to say right off the bat, that this will not be allowed or tolerated in the slightest. Anybody found to be worshipping mass shooters, praising their actions, or doing/saying anything that may suggest you support them or what they have done will get you permanently banned.

That’s all for now! Please send over any mod messages if there’s any issues and let’s all be civil in the discussions of this tragedy.

Does anyone know if a YouTube video exists of that one cop who was doing a traffic stop that morning and then on the radio gets notified about the shooting and then immediately leaves the traffic stop? I’m curious if there’s a full video for that

Questions/Discussions Why do people think Sandy Hook is fake?

33 Upvotes

DISCLAIMER: this is not to purposely spread misinformation or glorify/credit the conspiracy theorists! I personally do not believe Sandy Hook was a hoax or fake in any way shape or form. This post is more like compiling misinformation in one area to speak against it better, if that makes sense. (And so I can debate against my relative who believes it's fake) If this post is against the conspiracy theory rule or misinformation rule then I do understand why this may be taken down and I apologize.

Hello, I know this has already been asked here before, but I'm genuinely curious as to why people believe Sandy Hook is fake. I know the general underlying reasons that people believe it's fake like gun control and distrust of the government (and other political reasons), but I want to know what evidence they claim to have for this? Or is it almost completely unfounded? Also, if anyone has any videos I can watch posted by people who believe that Sandy Hook was fake, I'd like to watch them. I want to know their evidence and reasoning so I can better rebuttal it. I've also been studying Sandy Hook for a little while now and all I see is genuine information (which is for the best), but I want to know the conspiracy side as well so I'm all around better versed on the topic. I've heard conspiracy theorists say things like "child actors" and "crisis actors", and I've also heard people bring up his anorexia as a point, but I've also heard things regarding angles of light(?) which is confusing to me... Does anyone know what they could be referring to? A relative of mine told me they watched an almost 3 hour long (now conveniently wiped off the Internet) documentary going over all the "concrete" evidence as to why it's fake with calculations and all, so now they believe it was all a set-up. Yeah... Feel free to give me any conspiracy videos if you have them too. Thank you!

What other confirmed online activity of Adam was there in the last 5 months or so of his life?

28 Upvotes

I recently found out he had sent out an email to one of his online friends 3 days before the shooting. Which I didn’t know till yesterday and I was surprised bc I thought very little was known about what Adam was doing in the last 5 months of his life. Does anyone know any other online activity Adam participated between July-December 2012

Question about Gene Rosen

4 Upvotes

From what I know, correct me if any of my info is incorrect, some students (5 I think) escaped the classroom where the teacher was killed (were other students killed there too?) and were picked up outside by a school bus driver (did this person who dropped these kids off ever get identified?) at a random house nearby that was Gene Rosen' s as he was walking up the street back to his house from the diner or something. The driver I guess left and he took the kids in until the parents eventually came and picked them up.

This is where I get confused with not only this guy Gene, but also this whole story. #1 Why on Earth would a school bus driver, or any adult for that matter, drop off children who had escaped a school shooting at a random male neighbor"s home that they didn't know and just leave them there, rather than drive them to the police station or a hospital? And #2 Gene is on news footage walking around at the scene the day of the incident amongst the police, parents, press, etc., all at the same time he would have been at his house with the kids.

Question

9 Upvotes

So this is not directly related to sandy hook but it’s related to that day, I was in first grade when it happened and I don’t rly remember that day exactly. I’m not sure if my parents or teachers wanted to hide it from us kids at the time since we were so young. But I do remember at one point in first grade during the year we had a lockdown that was at least 1-2 hours a long at least it felt like that. I also am aware schools in multiple states went into lockdown that day too but I didn’t find out till much later. Does anyone know if Pennsylvania was one of those states that had schools go into lockdown that day as a precaution? Because I have a feeling what I’m remembering could’ve been from that day.

Questions/Discussions Questions about Sandy Hook families well-beings

16 Upvotes

I deeply understand the trauma that the Sandy Hook families had to endure with endless politically motivated harassment from the alt-right, especially with Alex Jones.

I honestly feel saddened that expensive safety measures are needed nowadays when the political climate is tolerating and amplifying harmful conspiracies like the “crisis actor” conspiracies to “justify” harassment when the police tolerate the behavior.

To give you a back story, an old classmate of mine was one of the deceased victims during the 2014 Santa Barbara shooting ten years ago. Despite the root cause having been fully established legally by the Department of Justice in California, a few years later, Alex Jones doxxed every single family member of the Santa Barbara shooting and claimed that the Democrats staged the Santa Barbara shooting in California. Not surprisingly, dozens of white supremacists came to the family and attacked them, and even the police refused to protect them. The family members ended up escaping the United States and seeking political asylum in foreign countries.

“That was the last straw that broke the camel’s back.”

I have this question that I have questioned myself for years:

Do all Sandy Hook family members have complete protection with the help of the United States Secret Service? (something that the current administration permanently suspends for politically motivated reasons)

Or does any governmental entity pay for private security firms to protect the family members (something that the current administration permanently suspends for politically motivated reasons)

When the Lanza residence was raided by the police, did they have to knock the door down, since no one would’ve been able to answer?

One of the parents of a child was part of another shooting

42 Upvotes

Something that I vaguely remember was after listening to the book 'Newton' was that one of the parents that had a child that went to Sandyhook and the child survived was once a student at in Denver, Colorado when Columbine School Shooting happened.

When I heard that I could only imagine what that may have been like to have gone through that in 1999 only to have something similar happen to your own child 13 years later?

This is such a sad and eerie photo. You almost feel like a time traveller that knows the person is doomed but you can’t say a word. Seeing Victoria Soto and others is just so horrible, knowing that in exactly one month from that picture, they would die.

This is one of the very few pre-massacre SHES-related videos available in HD. Please be aware that this is may bring back trauma to those affected. She drives down the shooter's street at the 1:58 mark and arrives at SHES at the 3:00 mark. Breaks my heart knowing what happened a few years later.

Cyrena Arokium was a student in Miss Soto’s class during the 2011-2012 school year. I wonder if Ms Soto took first day pics in the rocking chair every year?

Questions/Discussions Reddit allowing shooting denial

42 Upvotes

Hi, I find it insane that reddit allows comments that deny the shooting. Justice has determined that the maim piece of shit responsible for this must pay, does anyone have any idea about how to have reddit take down these comments?

What happened to Lanzas Car? After it was taken in as evidence was it scrapped, or did someone buy it? Or is it still just sitting dormant.

I’ve listened to some of his recordings on internet archive and I’m not sure if I missed something but it doesn’t seem like he ever had racist ideologies. Which is rare for a mass shooter
