Sandy Hook: Parallax View?

8 days after the Newtown massacre, the school is still being investigated.  Think about this.  We have an ostensibly simple narrative, in which a deranged kid shoots his mother, forces his way into a school, then systematically double taps 20 grade schoolers and six adults before taking his own life.  Simple enough.

But according to every account I have read, he was found with either 2 or 4 pistols, and even though his mother OWNED an AR-15, whatever they found was in the trunk of the car,  which is an inconvenient place from which to shoot anyone.  Moreover, the video I posted a couple days ago did not seem to show a Bushmaster .223 at all.

The coroner, though, says that a “long gun” was used, i.e. a rifle.  The difference between a 9 or 10 mm round and a .223 is the difference between a lager and a stout.  It’s not hard to tell the difference.  Moreover, they can do ballistics matching.

I think a reasonable guess can be made that they have not yet found the murder weapon, which is inexplicable if Lanza was the sole shooter.  Read this quote through that prism:

Although the gunman is dead, Vance said, a thorough investigation is necessary.

“We need to know were there any laws broken by anybody anywhere that may have contributed to this,” Vance said.

This is a grade A clusterfuck from a police perspective.  They no doubt did not initially treat the shooting scene as a CRIME scene, since it seemed obvious who did the shooting.

But someone may have literally gotten away with murder.  If there was security footage, they will have pulled it, but I suspect there weren’t since this was a normally safe place.  This leaves them with dusting everything, looking at everything under a microscope, and hoping they get lucky.

It may literally be the case, though, that they have shell casing everywhere from a weapon that isn’t there.  That would be interesting, to say the least.  If that is the case, I hope they have the courage and integrity to admit it.  It would  be better for all to live in doubt, than to let someone capable of murdering children systematically go free.
