Palba as fate

Blaad, falling on a quiet, rich and prosperous Newtown, has a name, surname and age, but more almost nothing. Even the photos of Adam Lanza are everywhere published five years ago. The girl, who studied with him in elementary school, remembered that at the breaks he did not communicate with anyone, stood alone, hiding in a corner, blushed with tension, looked angry and made some kind of "animal sounds". She is not surprised by the fact that Lanza made a battle: "It all became clear to me when I found out who it was."

Subtense physique, shaggy hairstyle - nothing else is recalled. He was "painfully shy." Having become older, he tried to play baseball, but nothing came of it. He closed completely, did not say a word with anyone, avoided looking into the eyes of others. His only friend was a laptop - he did not let him out of his hands for a minute. In America, such people are difficult. Here you need to have a puddled throat, strong elbows and no complexes. Shine is simply ignored. In the high school, Lanza, as his other classmate put it, Flew Under the Radar, disappeared from sight, they stopped noticing him.

“I want people to know that he was not always a monster,” the classmate adds. In general, there is a feeling that people who knew him subconsciously are trying to at least somehow explain and justify him, to find light sides in his personality. The driver of the school bus recalled that once he talked with Lanza about classic rock, which he was well versed. His aunt says that Adam had brilliant intelligence.

How all this looks like James Holmes , who opened fire on the audience of Batman in Colorado this summer!

Be psychiatrists agree that there are all signs of Asperger's syndrome. Sociopath, introvert, white crow ... Under favorable circumstances, such people reach much more than impudent throat.

Asperger's syndrome is far from a sentence. Children suffering from them have no predisposition to violence. But under certain conditions, they cultivate, cholen and cherish their rejection, their resentment of the world grows to hypertrophied proportions, and there is an idea to take revenge on the world.

Adam's parents filed for divorce when he was 16. He fell into depression. I have not talked with my father for the past two years. With an older brother - since he left Newtown. Nancy and relatives say about his mother, she was a beautiful, elegant, sociable, independent and independent woman who was accustomed to rely on herself. She recognized the psychological problems of the youngest son. For some time she took him from school and taught him at home. Perhaps firearms were one of the methods of its home therapy. Everyone knew that she liked to shoot. Her sister is mistaken when he says that Nancy kept her arsenal at home for self -defense. She was engaged in the sons of sports shooting at targets. I taught it to my head.

The police claims that Adam Lanza was fond of computer shooters.

First of all, he shot his mother. Right in bed. What was she guilty of him? Was it too authoritarian? Shouted at him a heapon? Or did he envy her ability to get along with people and not suffer from trifles? We will never know this.

He came to school dressed in all black.

Once a year and the stick shoots. The new massacre intensified the discussion about the right to weapons, relevant for Russia, where short-lived rifled weapons are about to legalize. This problem was practically not mentioned during the presidential campaign. After the execution in Newtown, President Obama said that some “significant actions” were needed to prevent new tragedies - no one understood which ones. New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, an energetic supporter of tightening weapons control, criticized the president: instead of obscure statements, he should, according to Bloomberg, submit the corresponding bill to Congress. If he does nothing again, Bloomberg warned, during his second period, 48 thousand Americans will be killed from firearms.

And the CBS News observer Bob Schiffer, who was also the murder of Kennedy, believes that the powerful weapons lobby in the person of the National Infantry Association in Washington is all afraid: against any member of the congress that will only stutter about this, “hundreds of thousands” of dollars will be abandoned.

Probably, the mayor of New York proceeded from the statistics of the FBI , according to which 47,856 people died from 2006 to 2010 from firearms in the United States. However, in fairness, I must say that the US rating is by no means the highest. According to the UN, in 2009 in the United States, 3.3 murders using firearms were 100 thousand in the United States, 3.2 in 2010. In 14 countries, it is much higher: in Honduras - 57.6, in Jamaica - 42.2, in Venezuela - 39, etc. The assumption of the direct dependence between the availability of weapons and the frequency of its criminal use is not confirmed. In Switzerland, where the legislation on weapons control is even more liberal than in the United States, 7.9 million people account for 4.5 million units of firearms, and the number of murders with its use amounted to 0.3 per hundred thousand of the population in 2009.

And do not demonize the National Rifle Association. The second amendment to the Constitution of the CSC, guaranteeing the Americans the right to wear weapons can only be canceled with the help of a new amendment, as it was at one time with the "dry law". But if the "dry law" at the time of cancellation in 1933 lost all popularity, then with the right to weapons the situation is different. As a survey showed in August this year after shooting with victims in Colorado and Wisconsin, two -thirds of citizens are configured in favor of the second amendment. Nevertheless, in this and another similarsurvey , the majority nevertheless speaks out for more stringent restrictions.
