The Rude Pundit: Photos That Make the Rude Pundit Want to Spike the Cranberry Sauce ...

That's just part of the arsenal that Sandy Hook Elementary shooter Adam Lanza had on him. It doesn't include the Bushmaster. It doesn't include the shotgun he had in the trunk of his car.

While hindsight is perfect and all that nonsense, if you want to rattle yourself to the bones on this rainy, awful day here in the Northeast, check out the report on Lanza's fifth-grade work, "The Big Book of Granny," featuring a homicidal Granny and her sadistic grandson. Oh, it's also got a character called Dora the Berserker who says, "I like hurting people...especially children." And then Granny shoots and kills an entire troop of Marines.

The Rude Pundit will be driving past Newtown today on his way to a Thanksgiving feast. Chances are that he won't slow down. It'll be night. It might still be raining. As we do with every massacre, we will all eventually do the same. We will push Sandy Hook into the white noise of violence past, our national state of denial that wears us down and wears us down.

1. Yeah, but drownings. Or something.

2. By "fifth grade work" I wonder if he means done in fifth grade or at a fifth grade level.

Because I took a look at the attachment and damn, if Adam was exhibiting this madness in fifth grade then the system really failed to identify and treat his sickness.

It's frightening.

4. It looks like it was written by him and someone else.

And the drawing definitely looks 5th-grade.

It was a creepy thing to read!

Edit: Yes, this link confirms he and a friend wrote it for a 5th grade assignment, but it was never turned in:

6. Obamacare is going to make mental health provisions at the same co-pay rate as regular medical

care.

I hope like hell some of these crazy people get some much needed help.

8. OK, HIT IT, DU Gun Enthusiasts!

C'mon, c'mon---Give us those "That ain't NUTHIN' compared to the shit I've got strewn around my living room every day!" responses we've come to know and appreciate. And have that old, reliable "Define what an 'Arsenal' is" post ready to go as well, OK? Thanks for playing!

Look in the gungeon for those comments.
