There's a video about media coverage of these events here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9jn_qUXtMk What are the chances of anything changing?

They're vultures by giving these guys exactly what they want. There's blood on their hands.

This is extremely sickening. Seems to have killed even more of his family before this too. Mother was the kindergarten teacher, most of the kids who are dead were in kindergarten.

I don't think any gun control would stop these kind of things... they'll just find a different weapon.

My thoughts and prayers are with the victims.

Do you really think he could have knifed 27 people to death? I guess he could have used a crossbow, but that's about it...
Today, someone in China stabbed 22 elementary school kids. And other cases (also in China) had people killing over 20 kids in knife attacks before

The last name "Lanza" is of Italian or Spanish origin and one of its meanings is a nickname for a knight with lances like this:

Probably just jumping to conclusions in the pursuit of a story. The "shoot first, ask questions later" mentality that mainstream media practices so often.

I don't know the authenticity on the screenshots so for all I know that could be his picture but let's pump the breaks a little bit.

This is horrible.

Today is going to be people complaining about how gun control could have prevented this. That's going to give way to people complaining about gun control advocates "politicizing" a senseless crime. People will forget about the victims and this becomes a political issue only. Nothing is going to change in any meaningful way. Then there will be another one.

Yeah, that's a different picture. Different person, presumably. Might be the right one.

But that's not a picture FOX (or the other ones, either) would feel as comfortable using. Doesn't put a face on things, as it were.

And plus, the person in that Twitter picture looks like a mid-teen, not a twenty something.

How about we just post links to all of the Ryan Lanza's in the world and get it out of the way?

That was after I opened his link, and therefore also after he posted it.

It looks like the first one.  His Facebook page is down, and there were no updates.
