Accused Sandy Hook Sign Thief Claimed Massacre Didn't Happen, Police Say
Man charged with recieving stolen property; memorial signs were from New Jersey, Connecticut
By David Culver and Margaret Voelzke
Friday, May 30

Two missing Sandy Hook memorial signs have been recovered in Herndon, Virginia -- far from the states from which they were stolen -- and a Virginia man has been charged in the case.

Andrew David Truelove, 28, is being held at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center after Herndon police found the signs in a home where Truelove is renting a room from a family member...

...The signs were dedications to Sandy Hook Elementary School students: 7-year-old Chase Kowalski and 7-year-old Grace McDonnell, who were fatally shot in December 2012.

Truelove may have allied himself with people who believe the Sandy Hook massacre was staged or faked, possibly to encourage stricter gun laws, police said at a press conference Friday.

First, why steal a sign memorializing something one doesn't believe happened?

Why join a movement that believes that the massacre was faked to "encourage stricter gun control laws", when you cannot legally own a gun in the first place?

"Troubled history" involving kids AND barred from school grounds?

he wasn't trying to kidnap the girl ... he just went there to threaten some bullies.

Oh! Okay ... that makes it okay! You were just intending to assault some kids.

In which case, they have my sympathy, and I hope he and his circle of similarly-afflicted get some help, because seriously, denying that kids died at sandy hook elementary?

I used to think 9/11 conspiracy theorists took the cake but... man. This is worse, in a lot of ways.

A brain parasite or some sort of mass neurotoxin exposure. Lead? Mercury? Who knows? It's just hard for me to believe that this many people can be so completely insane without an organic cause.

Where every major incident is actually a hoax to distract us and actors are used.

Some whacked out folks out there. I guess with 300+ million people you gotta have a few.

These people at least don't want to say that. So they want it to be that the massacres didn't happen. At least they have the decency not to want the kids dead rather than giving up their guns. Or something like that.
