1. Sheriff Hanlin is a right-wing crack pot.

Here is more from Talking Points Memo with screen shots of his Facebook Page, before he changed his privacy settings.

Watching him on television last night my thought was that he came right out of central casting. But this is something altogether different.

3. A Sandy Hook truther? Didn't even know such a thing existed.

So, all the mass murders are liberals staging these fake events just to take their guns away? Wow. This is really sick. Wonder what the sheriff thinks now?

6. POS called grieving parents ''crisis actors.''

That hurts anyone who's ever lost anyone to violence -- and all those who care about other human beings, you know, Democrats.

15. There is a RW meme going around that actors are filmed in the roles of grieving family members

and supposedly "proof" is shown by pointing out news videos of some people talking about their 9-11 experiences and the supposed same people talking about their Dandy Hook experiences.
Stuff like that is on YuTube, and the idea has been grabbed by a lot of people.

9. Seriously I had to ignore him during that press conference

because all I was thinking about was his conspiracy theories re Sandy Hook.
Why did he write to Joe Biden about not obeying any gun reforms - does he hate the African-American President that much? Does he not recognize him.

Oregon should have had someone else speak for their grieving families.

10. More about this nutcase...

It also appears that Hanlin is a Sandy Hook “truther”- a deranged paranoiac who believes that somehow the cold-blooded murder of twenty-seven children and teachers was some kind of liberal conspiracy arranged by the government to take away their guns.

13. This is karma biting his ass, isn't it?

I hope the citizens of Roseburg do the right thing and kick him out of office and/or refuse to vote him back in when his term is up. They deserve better than this...I think. But then we often get what we deserve by the way we vote.

But the community should hound him with demands for it
