http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/john-hanlin-sandy-hook-truther"The sheriff investigating a mass shooting at an Oregon community college that left at least nine people dead posted a video to Facebook in 2013 that raised questions about the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin posted a link to a YouTube video called "The Sandy Hook Shooting - Fully Exposed," which summarized conspiracy theories surrounding the shooting and quickly racked up millions of views, about a month after the massacre took place.
"This makes me wonder who we can trust anymore..." Hanlin wrote. "Watch, listen, and keep an open mind."
The video opens with text that reads: "In this video I will prove to you there has been a lot of deception surrounding the Sandy Hook shooting. This is a simple, logical video. No aliens, holigrams (sic), rituals or anything like that, just facts." It then intersperses news clips from the time with text raising questions about the "official story" presented in the media, including whether there was more than one shooter and whether grieving parents were actually so-called "crisis actors."

(82,849 posts)It's one thing to pooh-pooh something across the country, but now he's had an opportunity to see the results of a massacre right in his own jurisdiction. I wonder what Sheriff Hanlin will have to say when (and you know it will be "when," not "if" some Alex Jones acolyte starts bleating about the fake massacre at Umpqua Community College?
Will he meekly keep quiet? Join in the demented chorus again? Or decide to stand up like an adult?

(2,535 posts)we need to take back those 2 state legislative districts in Colorado that were re-challenged after one term to get rid of the Democrats who won then and voted for gun control. The right wing literal gun nuts won again after dirty campaigning. Show them we mean busines and take them back and fight below the belt dirty like they did.

Hannah is a threat to public safety (and just stupid).
