Inside the dark, lonely world of maniac Adam Lanza

SCHOOL massacre maniac Adam Lanza fuelled his violent fantasies while hidden away in a windowless bunker plastered with posters of guns and tanks.

Lanza, 20, spent hours playing bloodthirsty computer games such as Call Of Duty and obsessivly studying weapons in the basement at mum Nancy’s home. It came as the first funerals of the victims were held yesterday.

Plumber Peter Wlasuk went into the basement many times while working at the plush four-bedroom house and got a glimpse into the disturbing underground world where Lanza plotted his crimes.

He said: “It was a beautiful house but he lived in the basement. I always thought that was strange.

“But he had a proper set up down there — computers, a bathroom, bed and desk and a TV. There were no windows.”

Maybe mom told him it was time to put down the video games and move out of the basement. Or maybe she did something REALLY drastic, like have the porn channel removed from the cable TV package.

Hooray for me.

3. We have no evidence that Adam Lanza was a "maniac". He lived in his Mother's basement...

and played video games. I am guessing there are hundreds of thousands of perfectly normal people who do the same thing.

Adan Lanza had easy access to guns and was raised by a Mother who believed that she and her sons were in danger of having their livelihood taken away by the evil government.

Basements don't kill people (unless they are filled with black mold)... people with guns and batshit crazy fear kill people.

This is from your link:
"She prepared for the worst," her sister-in-law Marsha Lanza told reporters. "Last time we visited her in person, we talked about prepping - are you ready for what could happen down the line, when the economy collapses?"

It doesn't say "believed that she and her sons were in danger of having their livelihood taken away by the evil government."

Thought maybe you had seen some new info that I hadn't.
