a form of high-functioning autism, but it was unclear if he had ever been formally diagnosed.

Autism is not something that the doctor just does a test for and medication is not specifically indicated.

Interesting that the “town government” is discussing legal paperwork egarding conservatorship of someone. Getting guardianship of another adult is something that goes through the court system not small town city hall.

Fox also reported that a friend is saying that Nancy Lanza was doing the paperwork to have the son committed, and when he found out about it he snapped.
The town government says she hadn’t filed any paperwork, though, so it’s unconfirmed.

then he’ll accidentally fire a BB into his own eye.

Ya ! It’s time to get that movie into the queue.
I’d rather he lick a flagpole, though. Keep him quiet.

I’ve always considered the medication argument a chicken-or-egg thing. If the gunmen in question were on medication, is it the meds, or the underlying madness that caused the need for the meds the problem here?

Bronco Bama is setting up a ‘guns task force’ headed by Uncle Joe. Gonna be announced today.

Great, a crazy man is leading the effort. Joe will hold his first press conference waving a BB gun around and screaming about getting “these” AK47 assault clips off the streets, then he’ll accidentally fire a BB into his own eye.

All that means is that he was not on medication — has nothing to d with whether he SHOULD have been! He was clearly mentally deranged, by definition sane people do not pick up a gun and kill people.

This is NOT a gun problem, its a mental health problem and always has been. It took the police 20 minutes to respond. In 20 UNCHALLENGED minutes Lanza could have killed this many and more with a kitchen knife.

Winston Churchill famously said “you can always count on the Americans to do the right thing — after they’ve tried every other possibility.”

Lots more to come out of that household.
The Lanza home was filled with bad mojo.

Check the guns, they might have been on medication and that’s what caused them to force Savage Lanza to kill everyone.
