I have reworked this post a little to clarify a few things, but this about all I the time I am going to spend on this stuff – unless somebody wants to help me debunk these claims, or there is just a strong interest expressed in someone tackling the job!
I think most people can judge for themselves and no debunking is needed.
No matter what you do, no matter how thoroughly you debunk a conspiracy theory – some will still cling to the conspiracy theory and claim you are actually part of the conspiracy – someone hired to discredit them.

I don’t like jumping on conspiracy bandwagons or even bringing them up, and I am not about to jump on this one’s bandwagon – but this conspiracy theory is gaining attention – so I guess I should at least point it out because the following image has gone viral:


Sandy Hook Dad Smiling in the Wake of Massacre
I do find this man’s actions a bit creepy if you view it with the tainted glasses of conspiracy, it does appear as if he is pumping himself up to appear sad. That doesn’t mean he’s an actor. Maybe when faced with the cameras he suffered a minor panic attack. I am one who experiences panic attacks from time to time and breathing deeply is something one almost instinctively does to try to calm down.
No one knows how they will act after a tragedy. We don’t know why he was smiling and appears to be joking before his statements, and there is certainly no two people that act the same after a loss. Many men cut-up and joke around to relieve tension in times of stress. After my Grandfather died, me and my cousins were cutting up and cracking jokes in the lobby of the funeral home during my Grandfather’s viewing. We definitely tried to keep it out of earshot of most of the ladies as it seems they don’t understand how we can act that way during such a time. It was how we dealt with the pain. We were most definitely sad about the loss I assure you, but had someone caught any of it on video it would not have looked like we were terribly broke up about his passing.

This bit is just plain odd. Coincidence? Why would they put it out there? Isn’t the point of a conspiracy is to keep it secret? Doesn’t make sense to me.
I don’t mean any disrespect to the victims of Sandy Hook. I have been seeing a lot of these Sandy Hook actor claims on YouTube and have been reluctant to even bring it up because YouTube is chock full of conspiracy theories which frankly – most are ridiculous. Every shiny object in the sky is a UFO by definition until you identify it, but it doesn’t mean it’s aliens. Yet there is hundreds of videos of balloons and specks in the sky with people claiming “PROOF!”
With every tragedy or major event there seems to always be a conspiracy theory hatched within minutes. Sometimes things happen just they way they appear, sometimes the truth is – there is a conspiracy. To discount every conspiracy theory just because it makes us feel uncomfortable is doing a disservice to the public.
I don’t know what to make of these Sandy Hook actor claims. I will let you decide for yourself. As for me personally I don’t believe any of it, conspiracy folks like to fill in blanks where there is a lack of information.
I used to work in the area, in public health, and knew many of the people who died. One of my friends is a child psychologist in Newtown, currently tasked with providing grief counseling. I worked with Noah Pozners mom for over a year, and met both Noah and his twin sister. I attended his funeral Not that some random person on the internet means anything to you, but you are so dead wrong and it really is a slap in the face to all of us who are living through this nightmare. Do as you will, just know that what you are doing is pretty horrible no matter how you try to excuse it.

Me? I am just reporting the claims made by others. They are not my claims. I didn’t make these videos. I watched their little movie too, it’s no better than “Loose Change”.
So no I don’t believe the conspiracy. So send your outrage to those making these videos and claims. Out of 3,000 some odd posts on this site only two deal with the conspiracy theories around Sandy Hook. If you have spent any time on this blog you would know it is not chock full of conspiracy stories. Both posts pretty much say the conspiracy has no weight.
I can no more verify that you are who you claim you are than I can prove some conspiracy made by others, but I can disprove a lot of this particular conspiracy theory.
In tid-bits some of the claims were kind of compelling, but if you look at it overall, all the stuff they are throwing out there you can see how little weight there is to the conspiracy claims.
I even thought of taking on the their little conspiracy movie and debunk some of the most easily debunkable stupid claims. Since I don’t buy into the conspiracy I didn’t think it worth wasting my time debunking the claims. For the most part where there is a lack of information these people fill in the blanks with theories.
So I should not report on something that has gone viral and is infesting YouTube?
Anway, if you would like to help me shatter these conspiracy theories I would be more than happy to help you do that. I do thank you for the comments.
