A motive is emerging (Sandy Hook shooting)

110. If this was true, then I'd expect it would have emerged within 2 days of the shooting, not 2 weeks

The fact that it took like 2 weeks for this story to pop up tells me a few things.

1) It's likely thinly sourced/doesn't have enough evidence to back it up

2) It took them a while to even find the thin sources of info they had that made them publish this article

There's been shootings in the past where the shooter was insane and the person's family was trying unsuccessfully to get them committed, it came out within 24 hours of the attack, not 2 weeks later.

Also, the shooters father is still alive, and his brother. If his mother wanted to get him committed, and that caused him to kill her, don't you think the father, or his brother, would have told the press by now "Adam belonged committed in an asylum, she/we were trying unsuccessfully to get him committed before this happened"?

Oh, and the fact that the guns weren't better locked up is another reason to cast doubt on this story, unless you believe that the mother was really careless/stupid and didn't think she had to lock up the guns despite having a son who she believed should be locked up for his own good. While it's possible that she may have been stupid/careless enough even if she thought her son needed locked up, that still doesn't explain why the father and brother haven't told the media that the mother was trying to get the shooter locked up.
