Remembering well the cast of characters from the film, Under Our Skin, of course, Elise (Brady-Moe) comes to mind. As some of you might remember, Elise's town was featured as 'Newtown, CT' in the documentary. When you reference the webpage for Under Our Skin, you see that Elise's profession is listed as 'school administrator in Connecticut.' Let's pray that Elise, Elise's family (children), Elise's friends, and Elise's school community all remain safe this afternoon.
With a heavy heart, Lymebulldog

Profile of a mass murderer as defined by several psychiatrists:
Narcissistic, revengeful egocentric, with low self esteem. Why don't they just kill themselves and stop killing inncocent people/children. Sorry, I am just so furious and sick of these people who think they are so self important.
President Obama is crying on national TV.

Just read on Huffington Post that Adams brother Ryan said Adam was autistic and had a personality disorder. So Sad all the way around.

So sad. IMO, I wish guns were outlawed, at least handguns and automatic weapons. This is so sad. I can't stop thinking of the parents of the children that were killed. My heart breaks for them. :'(

Newtown Connecticut,
I lived in Ct all my life and worked in the area many times on construction jobs for homes. I'm still in disbelief and sadness for those mothers and fathers who will not see their daughter or son anymore.
I know a Principle of another school and she believes that teachers should be allowed to have gun permits and training for these kind of situations if they want ; .If any of the staff had a gun they might have been able to at least prevent some of the deaths. I'm in full agreement with this . I do think better screening and holding gun owners responsible for their weapons would be a good thing.
Posted by glm1111 (Member # 16556) on :
It was reported that the shooters mother bought him the guns. It that is true, can't imagine what she was thinking. The guns were legally registered. she was supposedly a responsible person. NOT!
I agree that everyone should be able to protect themselves from these horrific kinds of situations. How do we keep guns out of the hands of such unstable people to begin with.
Don't think there is any easy answer unfortunately even if we had stricter gun laws. I am so sad about what happened to these children.

My heart aches for all of those innocent victims and their families. Those poor babes who witnessed this senseless act will now be haunted for the rest of their precious lives.
We need to do something to stop this. More enforceable gun control laws? Better help for those with mental illness? Less social tolerance for all the violence out there in movies, electronic games and music lyrics that our young people grow up with?? It is frightening what has happened to our society.
Posted by cozynana (Member # 34270) on :
I agree, there is a huge breakdown in our society.
Is it the lack of parental participation in a childs life, is it GMO food, is it environmental pollution?
Who knows, but what I do know is when you restrict guns the only owners will be the criminals.
I have lived in remote area where probably 1/2-2/3rds of the farmers carry guns in their vehicles daily.
We have not had one incident like this in the 55 years I have lived here.
It is a way of life here and have been taught respect of guns and actions.
Of course, we are also about 20-30 years behind in every aspect of todays world.
We are still the Mayberry of USA.
Dumb and innocent to a lot that happens in our world today.
That said, we are changing, our town has become home to many that did not grow up with our morals or accountability.
We are changing and I hate it. This used to be the perfect place to raise children.
It still is a very sheltered area.
The present world will never be as innocent as the 60-70s I grew up in.

It is being reported that the gunman had autism. Autism is Lyme in the brain. If any of you watched the recent ILADS conference in Boston, you saw the presentation (including dramatic videos) by a man describing his son's descent into autism, and dramatic recovery following antibiotic treatment.
This school shooting is another example of Lyme rage. The chimp in Greenwich who ripped apart that woman's face had LYME DISEASE. The guy who shot that pastor in church years ago had LYME DISEASE. These are facts - do a google search.
Here in CT, I estimate 9 out of 10 Lyme cases are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. I was one of them, misdiagnosed for decades.
I know what Lyme rage is, because I had it myself. So did my mother. My mother was a kind, sweet, shy, sensitive woman who became a screaming banshee because of undiagnosed Lyme Disease. She died of it, altho we were told it was the Parkinson's (preceded by epilepsy, early dementia, schizoaffective disorder, swallowing problems, major depression with hallucinations....

Not everything is Lyme. Autism is also caused by vaccine injury, environmental toxins, etc. There are people who have real mental illnesses such as paranoid schizophrenia, and there is usually some psychosis if not schizophrenia going on with many of these types of situations.
I think to say the school shooting is Lyme rage may be oversimplification. Lyme rage is real but doesn't generally cause one to go kill 27 people. This guy had some serious mental illness going on as well.

Well, this horrific tradgedy has deeply affected me.
I have children this age. It is truly horrifying. I'm quite stressed.

Lyme can cause SERIOUS mental illness. The autistic child in the ILADS presentation developed autism after getting MMR vaccine. The vaccine was the trigger for Lyme to become activated. Any trauma can serve as a trigger. Antibiotic treatment worked because it was Lyme causing the autism. The presentation was very compelling. Please watch it if you can.
