It isn´t terribly reassuring to hear the aunt say that she hasn´t seen her nephew since he was three years old.

It´s touching that the President goes on TV as a Father in response to the school shootings. He even wiped away a tear or two. It would also be nice if he would now act presidential and stop inviting into the White House rappers who make a living pushing hatred with violent lyrics. His invitation shows support of the message and the life style which have put so many young black men in prison. Stop welcoming Muslim Clerics whose home countries are told we are the great Satan. His guests are an offense to America. It´s time to clean up his act.

FTA - Ryan Lanza told law enforcement he had not been in touch with his brother since about 2010.

What was he doing the last couple years? Even family members haven´t seen him in quite a long time.

He lived at home with his mother so she at least knew what was going on with him. It´s amazing if had a serious "personality disorder" or mental health issues that she allowed him access to her gun collection.

I really want to know how he accessed her guns. The assumption is that she gave him access, but that´s not necessarily the case. We´ll never know because all the witnesses to that moment are dead.

So the AP can find the aunt of an obscure person, but cannot fnd out ´nuffin´ about President Zero? No classmates, no friends, no enemies, no nuffin.
Is that amazing, or what?

The aunt says the kid was an "honors student with learning issues".....I wonder how that works. I am looking forward to seeing something re his medical treatment.

Fact. Nobody knows nothing. Now it´s just 300 and 500 word assignments to keep the channels running. I´m going back to Angry Birds. On Monday, I´m buying another gun and all the ammo I can afford.

AP and the other MSM´s have found out more about this one sick person in a few days then they discovered about Obama in four years or so. Give the survivors and family some room to grieve and leave them alone. This isn´t about guns, it´s about a sick society.

#7, that combination isn´t unusual. Many people are brilliant in one or more areas, but struggle in other areas. For example, a person who excels at math may have trouble with written expression, or a person who excels at reading may have trouble with math. Some such learning disorders can be overcome with different types of teaching, while other learning disorders are a lifelong problem.

#4, the mother may not have fully realized what was happening. The prodromal stage of schizophrenia can look a lot like Asperger. That is why the Asperger diagnostic criteria specifically say to rule out schizophrenia first. But schizophrenia generally doesn´t strike until age 16 - 24, while Asperger is generally diagnosed in childhood. It is entirely possible that he was misdiagnosed with Asperger as a child when he actually had symptoms of early-stage schizophrenia. Unless mom knew what to look for, she may not have realized what was happening. Most parents of children with schizophrenia watch their child deteriorate for some time before they realize what is happening. And since the child is usually an adult, the parent is totally helpless under the law to get treatment for the adult child unless the child agrees to it.

I know the MSM will rush to print anything with even a faint connection to a big story. And my own family tree has some pretty twisted limbs on it.

But either I"m confused or this writer is:

Marsha Lanza is the sister-in-law of Nancy Lanza, who was slain Friday.
Her husband, Michael, is the brother of Nancy Lanza, she said.

Did Nancy, and both her sons use her maiden name?
With a simple internet search I found: Peter Lanza, a vice president of taxes for GE Energy Financial Services, is the father of the alleged shooter...

So, is "Marsha" for real?

Wonder what drugs he was given in his early school days for his "issues"?

Someone--the Aunt--isn´t keeping up with family ties; Adam has been reported as having Asperger´s syndrome. That diagnosis isn´t reached at a grocery store--a medical professional must asses it. Of course, the press might just be tossing it around to show their (dubious) smarts.

I am betting the mother bought the guns for her son. My guess is she, like many parents today, wanted to be his best friend. Parents should be parents.

Kip Kinkel´s parents bought their mentally messed up kid guns. They were teachers too. He also killed them, then went to Thurston High School and killed students.

Just my thoughts, based on what I know about what happened at Thurston. Seems like the same deal here.

Apparently Nancy Lanza was NOT a teacher according to the school Superintendent and the shooter´s father is an exec with GE.

# 12 Perhaps Adams´ full name is Adam Lanza Fayad.

#12, I noticed that too. Nancy Lanza´s maiden name is reported to be "Champion."

Ergo it isn´t likely her brother has a last name of Lanza. Brother-in-law, maybe.

I.e. this woman (Marsha Lanza) is perhaps married to Nancy Champion Lanza´s husband´s brother.
