It was confirmed by the Newtown CT police that Nancy Lanza the mother of Killer Adam Lanza use to take her son shooting and allowed him access to her guns. I personally think that is bad parenting when you know a child has a mental disorder.
Let's stick to the topic, please, and not go off on a tangent about gun control, responsible gun ownership, etc. -- those topics properly belong in P&OC.
Secondly, let us not speculate on another person's mental and medical disorders unless we are the attending physicians.
Thirdly, let us not get so wrapped up in third hand grief that we lose sight of the tragic loss of those families and the terrors that those sweet babies went through.
Let them grieve.
If you have ever been through personal tragedy, you know why I say 1,2, and 3. If you haven't, I appreciate your sincere emotion but ask that you let the facts come out.
My TV quit working again today and I am just as glad not to listen to those chattering know nothings. And they call it news.
Why NOT speculate on someone else's mental and medical disorder? Everyone has their own way of grieving, this speculating is just one of the many forms. It's called "trying to find the answer ...WHY...to a horrible tragedy. Do you really think that the speculators have lost sight of the tragic loss of the families and the terror that those poor children and adults went through? I don't think so.
There is no harm in speculation. Because of this tragedy, I would "speculate" that there are many, many people out there who are Googling various mental health conditions and disorders, in an attempt to make sense of this tragedy. It's called evolution. Many will be wiser and more aware, because of this horrific event. Unfortunately, many will also become more paranoid and distrustful of those who seem "different" to them. Again....it's simply evolution, but thanks for your concern.
I think labeling a person, and saying "aha, that's why they did it" makes it easier for some people to assauge their own fears, either for the personal safety of their own children, or for the actions of those they know with emotional or personality issues.
The bottom line is we don't know the facts, and I think attaching labels at this moment in time is more dangerous than anything. I think a general discussion regarding mental health is always going to be positive, as long as it is factual.
