What We Know About Adam Lanza

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Facebook pic of Adam Lanza, killer responsible for Connecticut massacre 

Adam Lanza was a 20 year old who was Autistic and he had a personality disorder.His neighbors described him as being odd: According to ABCnews A relative said that Adam was “obviously not well.”

Family friends in Newtown also described the young man as troubled and described Nancy as rigid. “[Adam] was not connected with the other kids,” said Barbara Frey, who also said he was “a little bit different … Kind of repressed.”

We know he had three guns, that strangely ,Adam managed to fire off as many as 100 shots,that’s a lot of reloading.

According to the Daily Beast [ Newtown Patch reports that Ryan Lanza told a close friend that he thinks his developmentally disabled brother committed the crime. ABC News reports that Ryan Lanza “told authorities that his younger brother is autistic, or has Asperger syndrome and a ‘personality disorder.’ Neighbors have described him as “odd” and said he behaves as if he has an obsessive-compulsive disorder. On his Facebook, Ryan Lanza addressed the name confusion while heading back to Hoboken from work: “I’m on the bus home now. It wasn’t me.”]

Adam Lanza is described as being gifted, as many Autistic people are often gifted in certain areas.He was also said to be a nerd .

According to Business Insider: [The 20-year-old suspected of America's worst mass school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut was a "nerd" who enjoyed playing online computer games. 

Adam Lanza, who was named unofficially as the gunman, is thought to have killed his mother Nancy Lanza at their family home where they lived before driving to the school to commit the massacre and taking his own life.

The 20-year-old may have suffered from a personality disorder but was considered to be academically gifted, while others have described him as a "nerd".

So far, the police have not spoken publicly of any possible motive behind the killings. They found no note or manifesto, and Lanza had no criminal history.

It is thought Lanza drove to Sandy Hook Elementary after he killed his mother at the home they shared in a prosperous neighborhood of Newtown. He took his mother's car and three of her guns, including a .223 caibre rifle.]

The New York Times is reporting Adam shot many of the victims many times, some victims had between 3 to 11 wounds.

Victims ranged in age from 6 to 56.Outfitted in combat gear, Mr. Lanza apparently defeated the intercom system. This contradicted earlier reports that he had been recognized and allowed to enter. Police dispatchers received many phone calls from the school that the front window had been broken, apparently by Adam. Obama addressed yesterdays shootings on Saturday that was similar to the Friday address, where he paused a few times to wipe away some crocodile tears.

      Marine Links Candyman Banker’s Fast and Furious Forfeit to Connecticut Mother’s Gun
      United States Marine Field McConnell has linked the Candyman Banker’s (HSBC) Fast and Furious Asset Forfeiture Fund set up in 1984 by his sister Kristine Marcy and Eric Holder, to a Bushmaster AR-15 semi-automatic rifle – apparently belonging to the Connecticut shooter’s mother – found planted near crime scenes where 26 people, including 18 children died on Friday.

      “NEWTOWN, Conn. – Connecticut State Police say a gunman who massacred 26 children and adults at an elementary school before committing suicide forced his way into the building. Lt. Paul Vance said Saturday morning that the suspect was not voluntarily let into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton. Investigators were trying to learn more about the gunman, Adam Lanza, and questioned his older brother, who is not believed to have been involved in the rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary. Police shed no light on the motive for the nation’s second-deadliest school shooting. Lanza shot his mother, Nancy Lanza, drove to the school in her car with at least three guns, including a high-powered rifle that he apparently left in the back of the vehicle [allegedly planted by The Candyman Banker’s agents], and shot up two classrooms around 9:30 a.m. Friday, law enforcement officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

      “Connecticut shooting revives gun debate

      Posted: Dec 14, 2012, 4:30 pm
      Updated: Dec 14, 2012, 5:09 pm
      Associated Press

      LITTLETON, Colo. — A lone police cruiser outside Columbine High School was the only outward reaction Friday to an even deadlier attack at a Connecticut elementary school.

      But in a state that was rocked by the 1999 Columbine school massacre and the Aurora movie theater shooting less than six months ago, Friday’s shootings renewed debate over why mass shootings keep occurring and whether gun control can stop them.

      “Until we get our acts together and stop making these … weapons available, this is going to keep happening,” said an angry Tom Teves, whose son Alex was killed in the theater shooting last July in the Denver suburb of Aurora.

      Teves was choked up as he answered a reporter’s call Friday. A work associate of his lives in Newtown, Conn., where 27 people were killed, including 18 children, at Sandy Hook Elementary. The connection chilled and angered him.

      The Connecticut gunman was reported to have used a .223-caliber rifle, although it wasn’t immediately clear what type. Weapons that use the .223 caliber ammunition can range from assault-style rifles similar to the AR-15 semi-automatic used by James Holmes in Aurora in the July 20 shooting that killed 12 people and wounded 70 to hunting rifles.

      The gunman in the recent Oregon shopping mall shooting also used an AR-15, and the Washington, D.C.-area snipers John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo used a .223-caliber Bushmaster, both largely civilian versions of the military’s M-16.

      Versions of the AR-15 once were outlawed under a U.S. assault weapon ban in 1994. That prohibition expired in 2004 and Congress, in a nod to the political clout of gun enthusiasts, did not renew it.

      This week, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper generated a storm of debate after declaring that it was time to start debating gun control measures. Hickenlooper specifically mentioned the AR-15.

      “When you look at what happened in Aurora, a great deal of that damage was from the large magazine on the AR-15. I think we need to have that discussion and say, ‘Where is this appropriate?’” Hickenlooper said Wednesday.

      After Friday’s school shootings, Hickenlooper wrote on Twitter, “We know too well what impact this kind of violence has on a community and our nation.”

      A visibly emotional President Obama seemed willing to renew debate, calling for “meaningful action” to prevent similar shootings.

      Also Friday, Mark Kelly, the astronaut husband of former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head during an attack that killed six people in Tucson, Ariz., last year, said the Connecticut shooting should “sound a call for our leaders to stand up and do what is right.”

      “This time our response must consist of more than regret, sorrow, and condolence,” Kelly said on his Facebook page, calling for “a meaningful discussion about our gun laws and how they can be reformed and better enforced to prevent gun violence and death in America.”

      Tom Sullivan, whose son Alex also died in the Aurora theater shooting, welcomed the discussion.

      “Clips that hold 50 bullets? The only animal you’re after with that is man. There is no other reason. That’s what that is used for. My question to those people is, ‘Why do you need a clip that holds 50 bullets?’” Sullivan said in a phone interview.

      But Sullivan said mental health, not gun control, is a more pressing concern.

      “We all need someone in our lives to care,” Sullivan said. “If we see a friend, a colleague, a co-worker and they’re having a hard time, we need to reach out.”

      No amount of discussion eases the pain, Colorado shooting survivors said.

      “It’s so sad. It’s just so sad,” said Judy Brown, whose son, Brooks, was threatened by one of the Columbine killers, Eric Harris, about a year before the shootings there. The family tried to alert authorities that Harris was dangerous.

      Judy Brown said she hopes friends of the Connecticut shootings will comfort them over the long run, not just in the initial weeks and months.

      “Send them calls. Call them on the phone. Leave them messages. Let them know that you haven’t forgotten. It doesn’t go away. It’s a lifetime struggle.

      “It never, ever, ever, goes away. It never goes away,” she said, and began to weep.”

      ”Holder Concealed Evidence Of Gunrunner’s Release

      45,053 Letters and Emails Sent So Far The fast and furious story gained momentum in Washington after it has emerged that Attorney General Eric Holder failed to turn over to Congressional investigators evidence that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,and Firearms has released Manuel Acosta – a kingpin in the illegal weapons trade of the drug cartels – from custody in return for a vague promise of” cooperation” which he failed to keep.

      His failure to comply with the Congressional subpoena – which covered the Acosta case – will ratchet up demands for his resignation or impeachment.

      At the time of his apprehension – on May 29, 2010 — Acosta was carrying a cargo into Mexico for delivery to the drug cartels that included what investigators for the ATF said was an “AK type, high capacity drum magazine loaded with 74 rounds of 7.62 ammunition underneath the spare tire.” They also noted ledgers including a “list of firearms such as an AR15 short and a Bushmaster” and a “reference about money given to ‘killer.’” CBS News reports that the case was considered so serious that the ATF brought in the lead case agent Hope MacAllister to question Acosta.

      ATF record showed “a large number of the weapons purchase[d] by the Acosta organization are AK type rifles or FN Herstal pistols” which Acosta referred to as “cop killers” and said were preferred by drug cartels. But, incredibly, “instead of pursuing charges, Agent MacAllister asked Acosta if he’d be willing to cooperate with federal agents. He agreed and was released.” Hope wrote her contact information on a ten dollar bill and let Acosta go free. He disappeared.

      By the time Acosta was re-arrested on Feb. 2, 2011, the ATF had allowed 2,000 weapons to fall into the hands of the Mexican drug cartels — including two of the rifles were found at the murder scene of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. Congressional Republicans are outraged that the Obama Administration did not reveal the incident despite subpoenas that obliged them to do so. In a letter to Holder this week, Congressional Republicans investigating Fast and Furious asked the Justice Department why Acosta wasn’t arrested in May of 2010. They also want to know why the Justice Department failed to turn over the documents on Acosta’s detainment and release, which were covered under a longstanding subpoena. The Acosta case did not come to public notice until it was reported by CBSNews on May 19, 2012. Compare the Fast and Furious program with the Arms-Contra scandal in the late 80s. In Iran-Contra, we supplied weapons to patriots in Nicaragua fighting the communists and Reagan almost got impeached for it. Here we are supplying arms to drug dealers and Holder won’t supply Congress with information about it. It’s time Holder was forced to go. Please sign this petition to call on Holder to resign or on Congress to impeach him. We will forward your signature to Holder and to your Congressman and Senators. Please be sure to include your email and your mailing address so we can do so. We’ll add your email address to our Alerts list so we can keep you posted on progress and next steps.”

      Nonono, you show this, it doesn’t fit with the conspiracy goons that say this was a man-in-black mystery man operation.

    • Chris Jacob

      Yeah..right….Its getting old now….CIA creating personalities out of thin air…It was a black ops..GET IT…

      You are fool, I’m an idiot, the whole world is their playground…This is how its done…..get over it…There is and was no Adam hamza…I can guarantee you…

      I’m so confident that this was a CIA operations that I will categorically say that….We will never ever see his “Videos” ..Just “Pictures”

      He is from America not from some sub-saharan African countries, he must have some videos of him somewhere in America say like his birthday for 20 years, how about prom, how about just random videos that Americans take now and then and post it on youtube…Nothing…You telling me…the guy never had a single video taken in its entirely life? BUT the “authorities” had some how managed to get a “picture” of him the moment he supposedly shot..

      The guy never existed…Don’t believe a word from the government who fakes pearl harbor to moon landing to 911…

        LOL! Righto lad, the school chums that went to the same school with him are all lying too, all 75 of them. Oh, the neighbors? Lying. Friends? Lying. Everyone else? Lying. Those secret CIA agents sure are clever. Thanks for clearing this up.

    • MattStarr

      I kinda feel sorry for Adam Lanza. What he did is terrible but knowing that the guy was autistic make me feel more sorry for him than mad at him. I to am diagnosed with High Function Autism that I have struggled with all my life. We’ll never know why he finally snapped but knowing that his mental struggles were so severe that he ended up doing what he did I can’t help but feel bad for him. Poor guy.

        Mercury laden vaccinations= autism.

      • Pateriot

        Many people are autistic, but this does not mean that they are not capable of knowing right from wrong and acting on it. His autism does not in any way excuse his murderous actions. The only ones that I feel sorry for are the people who lives were cut so short and the families left behind to morn their loss!!!

    • Pateriot

      His Father may not have been Michael McKean from MadTV, but he is an executive for GE (General Electric). The POSs Mother was living on in excess of $200,000 per year from the Ex. She was a “prepper” who was preparing for an apololypse, (12-21-12?) hense the 223 Bushmaster rifle that was used in the shooting. The Mother home-schooled the little POS as well. Who knows what set the maggot off on his killing rampage. Perhaps it had to do with the end of the World expectations, perhaps it was meds that he was on, or perhaps he was angry at his Mom for some slight, such as taking away his PS3 or something. The only thing I hope is that the POS felt fear and pain as he died!!! It is times like this that makes me yearn for an afterlife so he can go on and on in torture!!!

      • Joe7000000

        I’m trying to see a difference in yours and Adam’s behavior in your comment about the horrendous tragedy that just occurred: It appears that you yearn and Adam yearned for the same thing. I suppose the only difference is that Adam carried out his fantasy in real life and you just imagine yours. You evidently condone fear, pain and torture. Adam certainly demonstrated his actual capacity for exacting fear, pain and torture on others.

        On the other hand, I would rather believe your diatribe was only a momentary reaction to an evil act.

    • Joe7000000

      There will be more and more discussions in high places concerning the disarming of all American citizens because of this latest tragedy. But if weapons are to be eventually banned in the USA maybe a few more things should be banned as well. For example, automobiles, all sharp objects, and especially schools. Schools have been proven to be very detrimental to the health and well being of our most precious commodity: our children. Their young minds have been abused because of systematic, governmental brainwashing in order to make politically correct zombies out of potentially creative and independent contributors to society. IS IT TIME TO BAN OUR SCHOOLS?

      On the one hand, children are being taught that governmental policies of torture, assassination of foreign heads of state and indiscriminate killing by unmanned drone aircraft is perfectly legitimate and on the other hand they are being taught to be good neighbors and condone everything their government does. This dichotomy can only be harmful to the minds of our young children.

      Is there any wonder more and more serial killers are impatiently waiting to join the ranks of programmed miscreants? Where will the next massacre take place? Will the banning of weapons prevent the next massacre? How do we answer these questions? With more government restrictions? Have restrictions ever prevented mentally unbalanced people from acting out their fantasies? If we look at some of our unbalanced political leaders the answer to that question seems obvious.

      If governments (and by definition, all authority figures) want our children to grow up with strong, healthy minds and bodies, it must lead by example. IS THAT BEING DONE; SUFFICIENTLY? EVIDENTLY NOT!

        And what pray tell are the two religions and ethnicity that is benefiting from the murder, mayhem and brain-washing. It’s no accident all the “Hollywood” scum A-List puppets are now on this to ban “all” guns while they are the ones in the movies pumping out shell casings promoting the most mayhem and carnage. How many shell casings in the Matrix?? We know exactly in very narrow terms exactly who the enemy is. It’s not lone brainwashed programmed gunmen. We all know there is a theme here, we have seen it all the Hollywood movies.

        • Joe7000000

          I think I know what you mean and I agree.

        Agree

    • justiceisserved

      At least this picture of Adam, shows him as he probably was, a semi-nerdy kid, instead of some crazed idiot in the grainy black and white photo that is going out on all the media. He was probably incapable of these crimes, it sounds like he might have even been incapable of driving himself around town. The car found at the scene of the crime wasn’t even his or his mother’s it was a common criminal. Again, all the pieces don’t fit.
