Are you guys seeing the Sandy Hook thing on fb?

[Bernadine]

Or is it only my fucking idiotic fb friends?

I haven't read the full article, because I don't want to give it clicks, but apparently it says that Sandy Hook was a mis-reported exercise and there were no deaths.

[ECB]

OMG. No, I haven't seen it. And I hope I don't. If I do, I may be losing some friends.

[jlt19]

God, if only. I'm sure EVERYONE would be thrilled if that was the case.

[cinderbella]

I saw it awhile ago - not too long after the shooting.

A dumbass I'm friends with said it was a plot concocted by the government to rid people of their guns because 'murdered kids' are good for playing with people's emotions and they would be more likely to support stronger gun laws.

I haven't seen it this time but that has been going around since the shooting happened.

[ralphlauren]

WTF is wrong with people. I would defriend anyone that posted that stupid crap

And it worked!

Oh... wait.

[CloudBee]

Right. And our little cousin's next door neighbor who died in the massacre, never existed.

[picaflora]

Not long after the shooting my friend and I went to lunch with her SO. He was going on and on about how it was a conspiracy/hoax and that none of the kids were actually killed. Except.... We had a family friend that lost their daughter in the shootings that day. Instead he tried to tell me the government set it up and let it happen. He got a hearty "fuck you dude" as I walked out. He ended up having to pick up my check as well.

[eb777888]

Yeah, someone posted this on FB with "Just sayin'!!!" Fucking moron.

I just don't get how people believe this shit.

[lissaholly]

This kind of logic confuses me. If I really felt our government was capable and willing to fake the death of 26 people, all from one community, all at one time, I would not be a US citizen for long.

[Knight]

I unfriended my BIL over that shit.

[Bree Van de Kamp]

This conspiracy theory has been around since the day after it happened, and yet it still never fails to shock and disgust me. Not too long ago, one of the "truthers" stole a huge memorial plaque from a playground that was dedicated to one of the victims, and even had the gall to call the mother of the murdered child to tell her that he stole it because they were perpetuating a lie, because the girl was never killed in the first place. Fucking sick.

Where are these people thinking the kids went if they weren't really killed??

[Nonny]

What the hell is wrong with people.

WTF??? What do these people get out of this?? Like calling that poor mother to tell her that...what was he hoping would happen? Seriously, some people suck.

I'm pretty sure there was a theory that the children were actors and if you look closely at this commercial/news story/ some other bullshit you could see them in the background.

This is fucking disgusting. Omg

[bab]

How pathetic. People are the absolute WORST

[bab]

A friend from high school lives in the community and created a performing arts center to help the residents heal from that tragedy. He's a physician FFS. I'm sure it's all a hoax though. WTF.

[pixelpassion]

I think I would rage-quit fb if I saw this on my newsfeed.

[wambam]

There was also the one with something with the dates and someone knew it would happen two weeks ahead of time...?

People love a conspiracy. But it's just so wildly inappropriate here.

[sydney02]

Oh don't you know those kids are all still alive and Obama is hiding them somewhere in the Oval Office.

DH and I have a lot of conspiracy theory right wing gun nutters in the family so I've been seeing this shit since it happened. It makes me rage. They really believe it's a total conspiracy and the kids never existed. They were all "actors" hired by the gov't in an effort to take guns away.

It angers me that these poor families have to deal with such hurtful stupidity.

Not sure what he wanted, but what he got was a few charges.

[sapphireblue]

That is so disgusting and fills me with rage. I don't have anyone on my FB that has posted anything like that, luckily.

I knew a guy for about 18 years. We lived far away from each other but would hook up and have incredible sex whenever we were both single and near each other. we started hooking up again after my exH moved out, about a month before Sandy Hook happened. He started telling me a few months later that it was a hoax and I had to end it with him. I just could never see him again. I haven't spoken to him since.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

It was some of the best sex of my life but every time I think about him for more than a second I just can't. I could NOT get past that Sandy Hook bullshit.

Thank you for your condolences...

[DotAndBuzz]

I have to say, there are a number of vocally conservative people on my FB feed, but thank goodness none of them have posted crap like this. I very rarely engage in FB debates, or unfriend, but something like this? Yeah, I'd have to respond, and then unfriend. That's asshattery of the highest order.

We just got an email about lockdown drills and reviewing the district's armed intruder policies with parents at an upcoming community meeting w/ the superintendent. I nearly started crying just reading the email, because it drove home that this really could happen. Here. It isn't something that's isolated and rare anymore and it's completely terrifying. Fuck anyone who thinks it's just a big hoax for whatthefuckever political scheme.
