A 20 year
old guy named Adam Lanza responsible for the deaths of 26 which include 20
children has left Connecticut and the entire america in tears. The killer had
arrived to that school in his mother’s car fully armed, his mother Nancy was found dead by the police when the investigation
started. The assailant reportedly was carrying his brother Ryan Lanza’s
identification which caused much confusion in recognizing his true identity,
his relation to that school is unknown.
Why he chose Sandy Elementary school is
a mystery in its own but what really remains the big question is WHY? Why did
he enter a school which has no connection to him or his family and open fire at
innocent kids ? A question that will send even the wisest of men in a haze
Adam’s
mother Nancy had a divorce in 2008 and was a single mother, while his brother
Ryan was not much in touch with him. Adam’s mother was the owner of the weapon
which was legally bought with full documentation, it raises many questions
about Gun laws, should it really be that easy purchasing a gun? A weapon that
can easily end life shouldn't be as easy as buying groceries, should it?

“ We would
hang out and he was a good kid. He was smart” said Milas who graduated in 2009
he further adds “ He was probably one of the smartest kids I know. He was
probably a genius.”
The working
of a human brain is complex but when a person has aggressive and psychotic tendencies, he usually always gives out some signs which could point to his
weak mental health, how come no was able to read through that?
Adam
was known to be a goth and somewhat reserved but he used to hang out in LAN
gaming parties held in the local area, which proves he wasn't completely devoid
of human connection.
This is not
a one time thing, it was preceded by many more, TheVirgina Tech massacre which
is the deadliest and most infamous incident where the shooter Seung Hui Cho
shot and killed 32 and injured 17 others, Aurora mass shooting which occurred inside
century Movie theater in Aurora Colorado during a midnight screening of the
film The Dark Night Rises, the gunman was fully dressed up in gear and shot
tear gas grenades and open fired on the audience during the film killing 12 and
injuring 58 others.

The increasing
abnormal, sociopathic and psychotic behavior is getting alarmingly serious and
join it with the ease at which one can get their hands on a gun and it becomes
a matter of grave seriousness.
The anti
social and psychotic behavior could be blamed at the type of culture we ALL are
living in , not just america. Everything has become more virtual than real and
the absence of one to one socializing is changing the whole dynamics of the
culture that we used to live in .
Even though
not all of these incidents could have been predicted before hand but any signs
of mental depression or isolation should be noticed by friends and family
before it blows up and takes everybody down with it.
