Adam Lanza Destroyed His Computer Before Rampage
Hugh Pickens writes writes "Here's some breaking news I saw MSNBC this morning that I haven't seen reported anywhere in the print media yet. NBC reporter Pete Williams reported on Chuck Todd's The Daily Rundown that (police) 'had been hopeful that they could extract some information from the computer at (Lanza's) home. He was very into computers. Before he left his mother's house on the morning that he shot his mother while she was sleeping, he damaged extensively his computer. He took the hard drive out, pulled the disk out, and did a lot of damage to it,' said Williams. 'It's not clear that (police) are going to be able to extract any information or not.' It has previously been reported that Lanza left no online footprint. Police had been eager to examine Lanza's computer in hopes of determining a motive in his killings or finding records of purchases of firearms and ammunition. 'If he visited certain websites, they are going to glean whatever information they can from that and see what it means,' said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly. 'Does he have friends he communicates with online? Was there a fight with somebody?'"
I wonder if it ran Linux
Should have used DBAN.
His behaviors match that of typical anonymous posters.
Speak for yourself...
Some of us like to think that S.W.A.T. is a fashion statement, especially if you accessorize.

Never say never. Ah!! I did it again!
The fingerprints on his keyboard and they way the letters are worn will show which keys he used most
CSI: NCIS New Miami York has determined that he used R S T L N E keys more than others, this has determined that he was likely an English speaker and had a real hard on for Vanna White. This attack may have been a plea for help after his failed attempt to get on Wheel of Fortune.
I was running late for work today and realized I forgot to do laundry over the weekend.
The only thing left to do was put my full body kevlar on over my "Venom" costume.
Fortunately, I work for a bunch of blind people.
Yeah, right.
Then it's time for you to leave. The guns stay. This is America, you ignorant little cunt.
The trouble with 'warning signs' when it comes to events like this is we are talking about a FP/TP ratio of possibility millions to one... meaning that as indicators of mass shootings, they are completely useless.
Now, they might have utility in getting people help that would increase their quality of life or of that around them.. but more likely they would just be used to crack down on people who are already having trouble...
FP/TP Ratio? So people with a high First Post to Third Post ratio are more likely to be killers? I knew it....

Its really hard to flash someone with all that velcro on the vest.
You are better off with just a trench coat if you want to flash people.
