This is my opinion on this person.
He doesn't deserve to have anyone remember him or his name. He was a CHILD KILLER... his name should not be remembered, his face not shown, and he should never be spoken of... Let his legacy die instead of growing for some new sicko to obsess over.
The ONLY people who should be remember are the children and the adults who paid to protect their students with their lives.... they are worth remembering...
Adam Lanza: evil, or mentally ill?

New information is coming to light about Adam Lanza, the twenty-year old who committed the Connecticut school shootings.
Apparently, Lanza's mother was planning to have him committed to a psychiatric facility. The police have confirmed that they are examining this information as a possible motive for Lanza's actions.
My own personal view is that Lanza was not "evil." He was a young man suffering from mental illness, who never received the help he needed to get better. I'd even go as far to say that the fact that we still view mentally ill people as "evil" at times is a hindrance to those people getting the help they need.
Did the system fail him? Probably.
Did his parents fail him? Before I'd ever say that, I'd walk a mile in their shoes first.
Could a better job have been done by society getting him the help he needed? Most definitely.
(Caveat: the media has gotten SO many things SO wrong on this incident, that there is no way of telling how accurate any of this information is.)

You people make me sick.
Only they and God knows what was their motivation,
Questions like these only trivialize historically tragic events.
"Apparently, Lanza's mother was planning to have him committed to a psychiatric facility. The police have confirmed that they are examining this information as a possible motive for Lanza's actions"
The statement below is a perfect example;
"The police have confirmed that they are examining this information as a possible motive"
Confirmed as a possible motive?
Then they were so nuttly they waited and she gets killed with her own gun. How nutty of a family is that? They knew. They taught the guy how to kill them. Then they allowed the nut-job to kill them.
Nope. The whole family needs to take responsibility for the guy. The dad needs to answer for the sins of his son. After all, he had the opportunity to commit both of them.

PS: What the article doesn't mention is that all atypical antipsychotics work in a very similar way. They all have the same side effects, and they are all linked to a higher incidence of homicide and suicide. The latter also goes for antidepressants as well as anti-anxiety and ADHD meds (see http://healthland.time.com/20... )
PPS: A recently published long-term study proves that schizophrenic people who don't take antipsychotics experience less frequent psychotic episodes and longer periods of recovery: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/p...
I understand the urge to help the so-called mentally ill, but we first have to devise treatment methods that actually do more good than harm. Our current methods of treatment aren't any more effective than icepick lobotomies, electroshock treatments, ice water baths and other torture methods of previous centuries in the name of mental health.
a sane person doesn't shoot up a school full of kids
I'm not cutting his wonderful mother any slack either. She knew she had a mentally challenged son but still saw fit to teach him to be a top notch shot and give him access to weapons. She made it easy for him to commit this crime.
Yesterday they were tooting his likable qualities & a model student, never mind the 20 dead kids. Typical liberal reasoning.
According to this gun toting liberal, mommy is responsible. She purchased the weapons, she taught him how to shoot and she knew that all 8 cylinders weren't functioning properly in her son's brain.
But thanks for pretending you know me better than I do.
