Maybe the world will end on 12/21? We are horrified by the loss of innocent life. Hillary Clinton passed out and has a concussion (I thought she’d be president in 2016) .. and Dick Clark has been dead for a while. With Ryan Seacrest ringing in the New Year, I don’t think there’s much of a chance we’ll make it through December. But if we do, we’ll be fine.
Vigils, services honor Connecticut school shooting victims

Residents from around the region streamed Friday into Saint Rose of Lima Roman Catholic Church in Newtown, Conn., to mourn the 20 children and six adults who were killed when a gunman opened fire in an elementary school.
Abc news gets the scoop but the photograph is from 2005… Abc news also reports someone saying Lanza was 'Obviously not well'
The story in when Adam Lanza killed his mother is evolving..
I went to the mall tonight with my son only to find a very crowded but very quiet shopping plaza..
Nobody was talking, just kind of blankly staring at each other as they passed by each other.
Christmas music was playing in the background and people were trying to get their last-minute holiday shopping done before the season runs out of time. But there was something strange about the crowd.
As I mentioned it was purely quiet, again the only sound that was heard was the jingle of the bells from the loudspeaker above..
It is like a shroud of sadness was hanging over all the people there.
The events of the day in my mind that made this happen. Perhaps some were looking for escape routes in the mall just in case anything else would have flared up, or maybe we are just looking at each other in a days look thinking ‘How could someone do that to so many young children’
My son is very young, younger than the kindergarten age. But at this point does age really matter?
Anyone that dies in a senseless act of violence is one too many dead.. But when young children who are filled with innocence and love are taken away from this planet by a maniac wielding to high-powered guns, that is beyond senseless..
So the mall was quiet tonight, that I know. But what were we all thinking? Perhaps too many thoughts to even write about..
I cannot help but think about how this is now permanently changed Christmas for at least 28 families, a town, a state, a nation, and the national psyche..
No matter how cliched the term has become: we will never be the same again.
The name is the alleged shooter is Adam Lanza..
Also in points the media goofed on so far: The media broadcast and widely circulated a photo of Ryan Lanza. Trouble is they seemed to just randomly pick a Lanza without regard to whether it was the suspected killer or not—and now the suspect is Ryan’s brother Adam..
Developing media story..
The gunman was 24.
His mother taught kindergarten at the school where the shooting occurred.
The story is developing and changing..
If people aren’t on ‘illegal drugs’ are they hooked on the prescribed kind.. I don’t know a thing about the Sandy Hook school shooter yet, nor do you.. but I bet we will learn quite a bit.
The only thing being reported so far is that he was 20 and the dad of a student there..
I am revolted.. I am moved. I am crying like hell.
