re: #435 Charles Johnson

I think it may turn out that Adam Lanza’s home-schooling by a parent who was hoarding guns in preparation for the end of civilization was an important factor in this case.

Maybe. But alternatively it could be a sign his mother was trying something new in handling her son because something had changed. Or, sadly, maybe even a mother’s attempt to protect her son.

As much as I go on and on about the mental health thing, we’re really in a low-information orbit here. Teasing out the few details available you can create a lot of scenarios: mentally ill/not, angry/melancholy, mother homeschools him to protect him/to isolate him.
