Hero of Sandy Hook Being Harrassed by Conspiracy Theorists

Wow. A lot of conspiracy theories pop up around tragedies. But few of them are as ridiculous, as pointless, as stupid as the Sandy Hook "conspiracy." They actually think the massacre was staged so that Democrats--President Obama particularly--could pass gun control laws. It's brilliant really. The Dems sat out the gun rights issue for what? 20 years? Only to put this massive conspiracy into motion, to try to catch the NRA off guard? Did they just wait until after the 2012 election when the NRA's candidates lost so badly? What really happened to the kids? Were they actually "little people" actors?

I actually hate to get silly about such a serious tragedy. Rest assured, my mirth is aimed only at, and squarely at (forgive the gun-like terminology, it permeates our language) the NRA and its nuttier members.

What is the going rate for getting involved in a gov’t sponsored hoax anyway? . .”
