    I read excepts of the interview here. http://gawker.com/adam-lanzas-father...evi-1540285963

    This are some of the quotes that stood out to me.

    Now, Lanza says, he wishes Adam had never been born.


    "That didn't come right away," he told Solomon. "That's not a natural thing, when you're thinking about your kid. But, God, there's no question. There can only be one conclusion, when you finally get there. That's fairly recent, too, but that's totally where I am."
    I have never hear a parent say such a thing about their mass murdering kid.

    Eventually, Lanza realized Adam would've killed him, too.

    "With hindsight, I know Adam would have killed me in a heartbeat, if he'd had the chance. I don't question that for a minute. The reason he shot Nancy four times was one for each of us: one for Nancy; one for him; one for Ryan; one for me."
    Why would the kid shoot his mom four times for each member of the family?

    I haven't read the whole thing at the NewYorker. After reading these few quotes, my bs meter is running full tilt.
    “Democracy is also a form of worship. It is the worship of Jackals by Jackasses. It is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”
    H.L. Mencken

    "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
    H. L. Mencken
