There is still one question that I really, really want an answer for:
Why did he shoot his mother?
One: The vast majority of children who kill their parents:
<LIST>
<LI>
- Have suffered sustained abuse for many years</LI>
<LI>
- Have tried to get help multiple times</LI>
<LI>
- Believed that their parents would eventually kill them</LI>
<LI>
- Saw no other way to escape from the abuse, alive.</LI>
</LIST>
(I can't put my hands on the document I get that from right now, but if anyone wants proof, I'll put some effort into finding it again).
Two: Some reports say he suffered from a personality disorder, without say which one. At least one personality disorder (borderline) is known to have an extremely strong correlation with early childhood abuse, especially sexual abuse, and/or abandonment.
Three: Institutions like schools (or churches/sports programs/boy scouts/...) are notorious for covering up child-abuse scandals rather than have their reputations damaged.
Adam Lanza, it appears, did at some point attend Sandy Hook.
Caveat: He is, however, a few years older than the general profile of the abused child who kills. I don't know. I just don't freaking know.
Four: Why is it so hard to get any conclusive information for what happened? Is someone hiding something (still) or is it just simply confusing to everyone, including law enforcement?
I don't want to jump to the wrong conclusions, but the dots are there, begging to be connected, and they're driving me crazy!
What the hell happened? :arghh:
