Ryan Lanza, who was originally though to be the shooter in last Friday’s horrific massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, is speaking out for the first time since he’s brother’s senseless murder. Ryan and Adam lost touch after Ryan moved away to pursue a job in New York years ago. Ryan, who also lost his mother on that tragic day, wrote that people shouldn’t be calling his brother names and calling him a monster. He also goes on to write a message about his mother, who has been purposely left out of tribute to the Newtown victims. Ryan however, made little mention of the 26 others who were killed that day. I’ve been waiting for either him or his father to make a statement in regards to the shooting, but I really wasn’t expecting this. I wasn’t expecting Ryan to bash his younger brother, but I figured he would focus more attention on his mother and not Adam
Julie A.
The New York Post reports that Ryan Lanza spoke about the tragedy for the first time on his Facebook page saying, “I am a victim, I lost a mother and a brother.” He then posted a picture of his brother smiling in happier times with the caption, “RIP Adam Peter Lanza, “I will miss you bro. I will always love you as long as I live.” In a tribute to his mother, he posted a picture of her with the caption, “I miss you mom. I love you so much. You will be always in my heart.” When speaking about the other victims, Ryan wrote, “You all will be truly be missed. God Bless.” When someone posted on Ryan’s wall calling Adam the scum of the earth, Ryan fired back saying he’s tired of taking the blame for something his brother did and he’s tired of people calling his brother names, saying he should be able to rest in peace. Ryan also joined groups such as “Support Ryan Lanza” and “Clear Ryan Lanza’s Name.”
his brother deserves to rot in hell not rest in peace he killed more than 20 innocent people…
I feel there are a great deal of factors involved. First of all, Adam was extremely shy. I know how teachers single out the shy students. I also know when this happens, that other children do make fun of them which is form of Bullying. These types of actions will forever harm the shy child. I also know how these children are given Psych Meds, such as Ritalin, Adderall, Rispidone, Prozac and more. (Even by school nurses…article late 80’s regarding schools in Mass.) Since Adam was diagnosed, I am sure he was treated. But was that diagnosis even correct? Also, what effects do these drugs have on the brain when these children become adutls? I also feel the Mother should have not had such weapons in house, however I also feel that if she would have even considered such tragic consequences; I do not feel she would have bought or kept. It was also reported that Adam was trying to buy guns on his own, but did not want to wait. I feel this was a huge tragedy, The little innocent children. This should have never happened. I am not by anyway condoning the actions of Adam Lanza, I feel there are great many factors to consider. I just pray that we find the answers and help prevent further killings.
First of all maa’m who committed on what Adam was taking very thing you’re saying is irrelevant and speculation. First read up on Asperger before speaking on it. Asperger should’ve had nothing to do with the shooting Asperger simply means the person has an extremely high i.q and don’t understand facial expressions and body language. He may have been depressed or going through emotional issues typical of Goth (not judging was one too) Being Goth is a darker place in general (j/s)Right now I can not look at Ryan Lanza in any negative light e is sorting things out himself. As for as whether she should guns I’m torn bc in a upper class neighborhood where you live in open space like they did police doesn’t come instantly. She brought guns for fear of being slain but lived among a slayer,
If Ryan really loved his brother why did he lose contact with him for so long?
