Ryan Lanza was originally pegged as the shooter because the geniuses in charge of the media searched Facebook and found Ryan's page and automatically assumed he was the shooter without checking further. Before long, other mainstream sites copied each other and claimed the same. Ryan had to send tweets insisting he didn't do anything (as he was at work in NJ) and was likely dodging death threats.<br /><br />It's possible Adam got a hold of his brother's ID - either he visited his brother's place to grab it or perhaps he did what kids used to do to get fake IDs - borrow an older sibling's birth certificate and go get a license at the DMV.<br /><br />The mental issue Adam had has been described in some outlets as "Aspberger's Syndrome" a form of autism (but highly functional on the autism scale) but I'm not sure if that is the reason this kid did what he did. Personally I think drugs had something to do with it (warping the mind and igniting paranoid delusions) but it may be a while if ever before we get the truth.<br /><br />I feel horrible that so many parents have to bury their kids at Christmastime.magicdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755186050643383954noreply@blogger.com
