This story is heart wrenching. I can’t imagine what it would be like to lose my child to such horrific violence.
Much too early to speculate, but I can’t help feeling that this is too perfect for the administration. The manifesto reads like what the right imagines a trans person would say:
“I was corrupted by this world and have learned to hate what life is”
Alex Jones could have…and should have…used his platform to highlight how the media ran the Sandy Hook story.
They were almost gleefully running around trying to interview anyone in the area, for any reason, just to say they had “new information”. They ran the same footage of the scene on a loop in the background, while they rehashed the same details, over and over again, for days. They were looking for anything they could squeeze out of that tragedy, in the hopes of generating more ratings.
It was fucking disgusting.
Instead, he took everything they did, and used it to “prove” that it must have been a hoax. Instead of exposing the 24 hour news cycle for what it was…a soulless, profit-driven cesspool…he doubled down on it, and made himself look even worse by comparison.

That’s edging dangerously close to Alex Jones’s sandy hook rhetoric.
