Newtown Conn Shooting Theory
« on: January 10, 2013, 09:12:55 pm »
I saw this yesterday and I have to admit that this is pretty low. This Professor is saying that either the number of dead that died in the school is wrong, there was more then one shooter, or it didn't happen and actors were brought in. He doesn't say it in the video but its in the print. Here's a link to the story http://fox2now.com/2013/01/10/newtown-conspiracy-theory-professor-suggests-massacre-part-of-government-plan/

I'm not sure how I can possibly take seriously anyone who claims both that the shooting didn't happen and that he does believe twenty children were shot. That's not even internally consistent!

Good point there!

Sounds like he's one if those idiots who make up crap like that just for the notoriety factor.

Conspiracy theories seldom are. They generally require turning off critical thinking to really believe if you investigate/really think about them.

Given that I live about an hour away from Newtown, I'm pretty sure I don't want to read that. It probably wouldn't end well. :mad:

But based on what's been said here... yeah, it sounds like the guy is probably going for notoriety. Or just wants to stir people up. Still absolutely awful of him either way, in my opinion anyway.

I seriously hope this isn't the start of a "Sandy Hook Truth(er)" movement.

The good ones usually are at least consistent within the same article, even if they conflict with logic, common sense, and science.
