If anything, the documents released Thursday raise more
questions than answers. Unfortunately,
they are answers we will continue to wait for, or, will never get.
The spur for Adam Lanza’s savage behavior is of great
interest to many, especially those trying to figure out how to avoid such
tragedy in the future.
But the search warrants truly highlight the mystery surrounding
his late mother, Nancy. We are filled
with probing questions. A number of
items confiscated by the Connecticut State Police are troubling, and one has to
wonder if Nancy had any knowledge of her son’s interest in mass shootings.
Did she ever venture into his room? Did she notice news articles on mass killings
– pictures of a deceased person wrapped in plastic? Was there never an insatiable curiosity to
peak into a journal, considering she was aware of his need for isolation?
Was his obsession to violent video games, coupled with
access to weapons and ammunition, never debated even within her own
conscience? As pen touched paper on a
Bank of America check, did she ever hesitate about giving the gift of a firearm
to a clearly troubled young man?
In February, the Hartford Courant did an excellent expose of
the relationship between mother and son (http://articles.courant.com/2013-02-17/news/hc-raising-adam-lanza-20130217_1_nancy-lanza-adam-lanza-peter-lanza). Journalist Alaine Griffin reports sport
shooting was something the family did together when Adam and his brother were
young. But one must wonder - was there
ever a turning point in Adam’s demeanor that would have caused Nancy…to give
pause about such a pastime?
We ask “why.” It’s an
easy question for reporters to throw out, but a much harder one to answer. More paperwork surrounding Sandy Hook is
slated for release this summer. Perhaps
we will learn more about what Adam was thinking, and maybe why Nancy was oblivious
to what was coming.
In the end though, after the investigation is complete, no
sense will ever come to an unspeakable crime devoid of human compassion.
I have to wonder why Nancy had a check made out to Adam for a firearm. It seems to me that the weapons in the house were LEGALLY purchased by her. Why did she do this?? Was it Adam's appetite to obtain firearms? Did SHE have some reason behind buying so many guns and rounds of ammo??? There are so many questions that people have and they will NEVER be answered. Were they "doomsday preppers"???? If you can probe to get answers to these questions, it would help many people understand the what was REALLY going on in their household.
