Adam Lanza Whatever the psychological or spiritual deviation this young man that took Newtown Connecticut’s finest from society is marked forever as a tragic despicable figure. Characterized by a doting mother preparing for the end of the world replete with guns and survivalist obsessive cognition living with two brothers one of whom was deranged at best fostered the game. A tile glazer whether at the barbershop or with an extremely stressed baby sitter who lacked any meaningful relationship failed to relate to people. Adam was evolving into the vilest type of terrorist complete apparently with a strong background for violent and deadly video games. Adam became a nonperson, a zooid, a candidate for a psychiatric couch. Who’s to say how much influence Hollywood horror films had on this young beast? His relationship with his doting and permissive mother was non effectual based on her getting shot in the face. On his way to take innocent lives from the Sandy Hood school this young undisciplined and unresponsive coward would perform his dastardly deed on our best children and adults. Now we are seeking greater gun and magazine control while we look for psychological answers. Frankly, what to date have psychological therapists and their answers managed to problem solve? The problems are still with us, the Adam Lanza’s sadly are not just in America—remember Norway and Scotland. Perhaps it might be best to ask for a return of old fashioned disciplining parents, couldn’t hurt! We must let our presence be felt in society. Alan G. Phillips, Sr
