Sandy Hook (Exposed) Ever think that the United State Government is hiding something? Well that is what many conspiracy theorists think happened with the historic Sandy Hook Elementary School Massacre. Sandy Hook Elementary is in Newtown, Connecticut and is the school of 600 young kids. On December 14, 2012 allegedly 20 small children and 7 adult were killed there in cold blood by 20 year old Adam Lanza. Even though this seems like a horrible and tragic part of our nation’s history, people have been very suspicious from the beginning if this shooting really happened. Skeptics have made elaborate theories regarding who was involved and why the government planned this event. Like stated

It recalled a grisly story of a troubled mentally ill young man named Adam Lanza. It is reported the Lanza woke up that Friday and shot his mother who was a kindergarten teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary. He then got into her car with a rifle and two pistols and drove to Sandy Hook. The story fails to mention how he entered in the school with all of those guns and ammo. Then allegedly Lanza killed 20 children and 6 adults in two different rooms. The authorities were called shortly after 9:30 a.m. and rushed into the school and found the gunman dead by his own weapon. The article says that only one person survived the attack but did not report that person’s name or anything about them. This article left out almost everything the conspiracy hits on. Most of the points Fetzer made was taken in account after the shooting but this article confirms that there is almost no evidence that all these people are actually …show more content…
The evidence behind the conspiracy is too strong to not think that the government or something else is hiding something. The evidence points to a murder possibly happened at Sandy Hook Elementary but not the mass murder that is the “true story”. Lanza could have killed his mother and killed his self and possibly went to the school but something happened and he did not end up killing those children. The lack of proof of death is one of the biggest indicators that all of those people died that day. Normally death records are public record and should be available for the public eye. The only death certificate that I could fine was that of Adam Lanza and the recorded date of death was December 13, 2012, one day before the Sandy Hook Shooting. The pure lack of photographic evidence from this otherwise iconic day is outstanding. Everyone has smart phones and phones with cameras, if 600+ students were being evacuated from a school with a alleged shooter in it there would be hundreds if not thousands of pictures from reporters or just regular spectators. Speaking of this the only photographs associated with this event look unreal and dated. Most of the people in the photos are not wearing the correct clothing someone would be wearing in December in New England. The photographs just do not add up taking all of

    The scenes at the Sandy Hook shooting were very graphic. In many of the classrooms there were small bathrooms were the teacher tried to herd their kids to. In one classroom the teachers were putting the kids in the bathroom and the shooting walked and shot and killed everyone in the room.

    However terrible to say, it is no wonder why people have become accustomed to hearing tragedies of such caliber on the news. Of course, that doesn’t make it any less upsetting or case for finding closure faster than in other situations. What it does justify is the use of background checks; not being allowed to “purchase firearms without first presenting the proper government papers” (Etzioni), as mentioned earlier, and extra security measures, even if taken on “law-abiding citizens” (Garfinkel) which should not be received so sensitively because of their purpose of “[enhancing] the common good” (Etzioni). The United States we know today reported Columbine to have been “the first mass shooting in nearly eight years that killed 10 or more people”, which is clearly different than the United States of the past where “after 1999, seven years would pass without one. Today, such gaps are unthinkable.…

    In “No, there haven’t been 18 school shootings in 2018. That number is flat wrong,” John Woodrow Cox and Steven Rich, writers from The Washington Post explain how there hasn't been 18 school shooting in the year 2018. More specifically, they argue how Everytown, a nonprofit group that prevents gun violence is incorrectly tallying up school shooting. What counted as the year’s first shooting was on Jan 3rd, when a 31-year-old man was parked outside Michigan elementary. He called police saying he was suicidal and armed.…

    As soon as media coverage of the tragedy started, people started spreading the news to their friends and family. Whatever was reported is what these people believed. Very few people took the time to comb through the evidence and really understand the truth of the shooting. “What most people know about the massacre is what they learned in the first few days after it occurred” (Cullen, “The Depressive”). People tried to make sense of such a large scale tragedy.…
