Sandy Hook. Really bad article. They should consider editing it to cover their a**
Oof.

The inconsistencies are really bad. I understand this is suppose to be the daughters pilgrimage to where her mother was slain but doesn't this paper have an editor?

[link to www.newstimes.com]

"I'd never been to the school before, ever. I just never went, which is a huge source of guilt for me. I can't tell you how many times my mom asked me to bring the kids. I was definitely thinking about that."

Ever? So that means this is the first time ever? Okay then why later in the story do you say this

"It was quiet (as we drove up to the school from the firehouse). It was just me and George and Bella in the car. There was all sorts of chain-link fencing with barbed wire that hadn't been there before. Everything that wasn't brick was boarded up. There were no other cars in the parking lot. It looked more like an abandoned prison than a school."

So the chain-link fence with barbed wire that had not been there before. Really. Interesting.

Everything that wasn't brick was boarded up. Huh. So how did you get in? Let's see

" We went inside. We went through the doors into the lobby."

Oh the doors that are boarded up? Okay I am sure everyone on this forum knows the entire front of the school is boarded up right? But I guess she went through the doors into the lobby.

"She (the detective) pointed to where the office was and ... we turned and went down the hall to the left. They had built walls where there had been none before. They had built walls to block off each side of the hallway, the crime scene. I was just trying to take everything in. What I had pictured isn't what it was."

So you went through the front doors. I guess the detective and the officer removed the boards? But the doors were still in tact?


Just thoughts I had while reading this article. Maybe she did go. Read the article yourself and tell me what you think.

There are several strange things that stood out to me- walls built to shield the crime scene, her mom's clothes still weren't ready to be returned, all empty rooms except for the mom's (principle's) office.

It is really poorly written.

How about the end of the story where she states.

"There was a point when we were in the firehouse the day of the shooting, and I forgot who made the announcement, but someone came in and said there were two women who were found in the school. They had been there for hours, hiding in a closet."

I thought this was her first time there. Ever. Right?

The walls built must have made the hallway very narrow. I can't visualize how that would work or why they couldn't just close the doors or put up room dividers or panels around the crime scenes

When you write fiction people don't usually parse every word you write. These are second rate hacks and everything they fabricate will be full of holes. I've learned to ignore this kind of ridiculous rambling nonsense since I already know that it's a stream of lies.

My take made it seem like the walls were to block off the area. Yet she was able to enter the area?

I think she meant she hadn't ever been there while her mom was working, to stop in and visit here there.. And on the day of the shooting most people were kept at the firehouse, not allowed at the school. So it sounds right to me.

Good call. But since the steady stream of rubbish I was taken aback at how poorly this was done. The contradictions are so over the top that ...well maybe it was written on a Friday 10 minutes before quitting time.

If I read this article correctly it debunks the entire story of what happened.

The cop and detective say nobody knows what happens or they wont say. But they guessed? I think they dropped that line in there to keep people from asking her what they told her.

I suppose. Just seemed like an odd statement.

What strikes me as bizarre is the product placement. Listening to NPR? Her mother always ate Dove, not Hershey? This is strange.

They always make sure to include some stupid detail about the person that's supposed to make it more authentic but instead sounds really fake.

"My mother had a thing about chocolate, it could only be Dove, no Hershey's."

Also this is her FIRST visit to the school since the shooting?
Your mother is killed there and you never go even out of some kind of closure?

It's like a bunch of random thought they put together to make a story. Yes the product placement to try and personalize it. The NPR reference I thought was a bit over the top. I thought " so what how does that change the fact you were driving on a road?"

I actually read it 4 times in a row and still don't know if she found any peace or feels better now that she made the trip.

I guess it's just another canned article but like you said written on a Friday 5 minutes before quitting time.

It's all over any time the parent's talk about the kids, "he wanted to open a taco stand," "he said don't worry I know Karate." etc.
