[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a huge amount of sympathy for Nancy Lanza. Hindsight is 20/20, but when you've been living in a situation like that, it can feel impossible. I came across this interview with the writer who told Adam's father's story to The New Yorker. Really good: https://www.npr.org/2014/03/13/289815818/6-interviews-1-reckoning-sandy-hook-killers-dad-breaks-silence

But apart from that, IMHO, we don't really need automatic and semi-automatic weapons for civilian use. They are designed to kill in volume.[/quote]

I don't see a lot of insight in that article.  Of course the father wishes that none of this had ever happened even if that means wishing that Adam had never been born.

What I don't see is how this father had no choice but to allow himself to be complete cut off from a kid who he knew was spending hours a day crying in a dark room, completely isolated with his overwrought mother pulling her hair out and feeling completely helpless.

Is there seriously NOTHING that these parents could have done?  How exactly did either one of them expect this situation with their son to end?[/quote]
