The shooter's younger brother is being held, according to a radio report.

This brings up another question. What do you do with someone who participates in this?

Same as Brevik in Norway. Trial. He'll plead insanity. Hopefully it'll be overruled and they'll put him in jail to rot.

 

[Yossarian]

I haven't done any of those things.

I know you haven't - but that's what happened on this thread and I guess I'm as ghoulish as anybody for reading it.

They're now saying he's dead? How many brothers did he have?

either

a) lynch mob

or

b) due process

which would you prefer?

I wonder how long it will be before those scumbags at the NRA hold this up as a perverted reason why more people should carry guns 'to stop this kind of thing happening again'.

you'll have to wait:

"An NRA public affairs spokeswoman, in response to a question about the Connecticut shooting, said: “Until the facts are thoroughly known, the NRA will not be making any comment.”

Police might have shot the shooter.

Being reported Adam Lanza was the killer and is dead. Ryan Lanza possibly in police custody.

I meant after due process. What do you do with someone who's done something like this? It seems that the best you can do is make sure they don't hurt anyone else, because there's certainly no way to punish it.

Other reports saying another brother found dead in New Jersey

A senior law enforcement official familiar with the investigation says a brother of the alleged shooter was found dead in a home searched in Hoboken, New Jersey.

after due process you release them. if their sentence is not death or life without parole that is.

Might support earlier reports of a second person involved, and he's obviously got more than one brother which has possibly caused a bit of confusion.

You have a gift for missing the point.

If lynching would help the greiving I'm all for it .Doubt anyone has done any research into whether it helps or not though.

Nothing to add, but the more these things happen, the more relevant this song becomes.

Begs the question of why would you ban murder, either?
