Wait a minute there, I told you what I want to hear in the 911 tapes. It's a few pages back. To save you time though here's what I want to hear.
1. The various calm radio chatter talking about Newton PD looking for something to do from CT state police to dispatch.
2. Numerous shooters detained in the woods and on Yogananda Street.
3. What they don't want to release because of the overlapping drill taking place in Bridgeport.

I think you're hitting one of the nails right on the head ... the MSM coverage of this story was less than professional, at best. That makes me wonder about a disconnect between 'local authority' and the press. All the threats coming out of that one cop's face really bothered me.

I detect some sarcasm. Have the mods check my IP if you think I'm BSing. I've got nothing to gain here.

All information must be released, because we don't know the importance of a piece of information without reviewing it.
Trusting the establishment to tell us what we need to know has never been a good idea. The only way we can truly trust the establishment is with total transparency.
If the release of other information leads to more questions, so be it. There may be a very small percentage of the public who will never be satisfied, but most simply desire full transparency.

...but then, there is a difference between "wanting to fully document a major event to establish a historial record" and "looking for that sinister secret conspiracy you're 'so sure' has to be hidden in plain sight somewhere". Don't you agree?edit on 28-11-2013 by GoodOlDave because: (no reason given)
I think we're seeing the REAL reason for all these conspiracy discussions; abject paranoia. Everything just has to be some sinister secret plot to take over the world to certain people, so when a massive event like the Newtown shooting occurs such people will naturally see it through conspiracy colored glasses and they will naturally see hidden clues all over the place that simply isn't there. A cigar simply can't be just a cigar.

There are many aspects to this case that are troubling, one of the issues I have is right here. Project Longevity is a federal grant to Connecticut to get guns out of the state. It was taking place just weeks before the shooting. Interesting how everyone in the Sandy Hook, Newtown area went on an anti gun crusade after the shooting. The president used the Sandy hook families to parade them around on his anti gun tour, where was their appeal to privacy then? Giving speeches and interviews just days after the tragedy, where was their need for privacy then? Didn't anybody notice how quickly they started talking about guns?

When the SH event is used to rollout the biggest sweeping gun reform this country has ever seen, I think it's absolutely appropriate to examine every facet of this case. It is our right, and our privilege
as American citizens to keep our elected officials honest and transparent, I'm sorry you don't feel the same way, try living in North Korea that may be a better fit for you.
I've come to think it has a lot to do with people's need to find ways it can't happen to them or close to them.

Re/patterns
Because the alternative is so evil, so calculated it means there is more to correct than incompetent politicians. However, as I study history I cannot write this all off as incompetence and lone gunmen, loan geeks et all.
The difference between you and me is that you are seeing the patterns you yourself want to see; event A happens, somebody invokes event B, which leads you to suspect that this person instigated event A in order to invoke event B, rather than just responding to event A.
