CT School Shooting

RIJ, you seem to be missing the point here.
The man was not sane,he was caught lighting himself on fire....are you expecting a motive from a nut job? Loughner was the same so don't expect anything cognizant from that camp either. That would be like wondering why EZ Ed misinterprets everything he reads.

not missing the point, just interested in the trail and the why. Most of these nutjobs leave some trail, web postings, hints to friends, etc. There is usually some reasoning, although twisted. This kid went from relative obscurity to killing his mom and then the school. I am just wondering what the police will piece together and what the story is, nothing more. I havent head about him lighting himself on fire, those are some of the details I am intersted in.

NEWTOWN, Conn.—In stockpiling ammunition, smashing his computers and killing his mother as she slept, Adam Lanza undertook considerable preparation before shooting up an elementary school on Friday, a former FBI profiler said.

"He didn't just snap. This takes a lot of planning," said Mary Ellen O'Toole, who worked for 15 years in the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit where she studied psychopaths and helped capture killers.

There are legitimate cases of people just losing their crap for no apparent reason.

My sister used to babysit a kid who'd snap and start attacking people at random. He was cogniscent of what he was doing, just had no reason other than because he felt the urge to.

No clue where he is now, or if he's still among us, hopefully he got help.
