Sandy Hook shooter was said to be "Bright" but troubled

Another neighbor did know Adam Lanza. Megan, who declined to give her last name, was a classmate of the shooter from kindergarten through middle school. "He wasn't like a weird kid as a child," Megan told Yahoo News. "He was just quiet. He didn't put off a friendly vibe." But she said he was one of the smartest students in school. "He was always participating in class and everything," Megan said. But she said her former classmate, with whom she rode the school bus, sort of vanished after their junior high years. "He almost fell off the radar in middle school," Megan told Yahoo News. The shooter's aunt, Marsha Lanza, told ABC News that his mother pulled him out of Newtown public schools because of a dispute over the district's plan for her son. "She mentioned she wound up home-schooling him because she battled with the school district," the aunt told ABC News. Police said Adam Lanza, dressed in all black, was armed with two handguns and a semi-automatic Bushmaster .223 rifle when he barged into the school.

Authorities said all the weapons were legally owned and registered by Nancy Lanza, the shooter's mother. Newtown school superintendent Janet Robinson told reporters Saturday that Nancy Lanza had no connection to the Sandy Hook school, despite initial reports Lanza was on the faculty or a substitute teacher there. "I'm sickened that this mass murder was done with legal guns," said Strocchia, the neighbor. "I'd like to find out why. Why did she have guns?" But acquaintances of Nancy Lanza told The New York Times that the 52-year-old mother was a big fan of guns. "She had several different guns," Dan Holmes told the newspaper. "I don't know how many. She would go target shooting with her kids." Reports that Adam Lanza may have suffered from a personality disorder are being supported by people who knew the mother to have a troubled son. According to the Times story, a friend said Nancy Lanza was, "handling a very difficult situation with uncommon grace." Investigators revealed on Saturday that evidence found in the Lanza residence might provide a possible motive for the massacre. State police spokesman Lt. Paul Vance declined to provide specifics about the evidence but said, "we're hopeful it will paint a complete picture." Neighbors like Strocchia are searching for answers too. However, he said, said he harbors no anger. "I'm thankful my children are alive," he said. "I have compassion and mercy. There was something wrong with him."

Seriously? oh and then in the same post they say he killed his mother before he left. I thought the mother was still alive? I'm very confused...

That sounds like the typical description of anyone visiting this website, maybe it's a new way to profile against enlightened thought-abled youth?

Hell not even a 100 years ago everyone who was young and black was profiled as a potential criminal, now they'll have you think anyone who knows how #ed up our government is, is going to be considered a potential mass murderer.
