DOMESTIC TERRORISM IN U.S.... "HEROIC SANDY HOOK STAFF SAVED MANY LIVES AS THE KILLER STRUCK"

"Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act of depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest." Mahatma Gandhi

National Security is a matter of general interest and public policy, it must be above the interests of recreational associations and its members, and/or supporters of those organizations... Future generations will complain to their parents and politicians whom have allowed the continuation of such acts of domestic terrorism... The international community without exception should help to solve this serious and reprehensible problem...

Where is the feather...?*

Hey people... somebody knows where is Publius...?

"Domestic terrorism involves violence against the civilian population or infrastructure of a nation—often but not always by citizens of that nation and often with the intent to intimidate, coerce, or influence national policy. RAND addresses national security and critical infrastructure needs through objective research that helps government agencies prevent and mitigate terrorist activities and improves disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.

"Heroic Sandy Hook staff saved many lives as the killer struck

School employees praised as stories emerge of how they shielded their pupils

Ms Soto, 27, faced the killer, and saved her children. Accounts of what happened differ. One, posted on Tumblr by a friend, says that she had bundled the class into a large closet, and told the gunman that they had gone to the gym. Another says she was found huddled over the children. Either way, Lanza shot her, and then turned the gun on himself. Her cousin, Jim Wiltsie, told ABC News: "I'm just proud that Vicki had the instincts to protect her kids from harm. It brings peace to know that Vicki was doing what she loved, protecting the children, and in our eyes she's a hero."

She is not the only one. If anybody wanted to know the kind of people who become teachers, they need only read of the bravery of the staff at Sandy Hook Elementary School. It starts with the principal, Dawn Hochsprung, who had the presence of mind to turn on the school intercom, broadcasting screaming and gunshots into every classroom, so that others had to time to take cover. "That saved a lot of people," said one teacher Theodore Varga, who survived the massacre.

Ms Hochsprung was in a meeting with a parent and senior staff when Lanza began shooting nearby. At the sound of gunshots and screaming, some in her office dived for cover, but Ms Hochsprung and the school's psychologist, Mary Sherlach, 56, ran out to confront Lanza, shouting back to the others to lock the door. They were both shot dead, Ms Hochsprung as she lunged at the killer.

Ms Sherlach was preparing to retire, having helped hundreds of students go through family break-ups, bullying and events that – until Friday – had been the toughest moments of their young lives. While others hid, she and the principal ran towards the danger. The school therapist Diane Day, who was in the meeting, said: "They didn't think twice about confronting [him] or seeing what was going on." Without a lock to secure the door, another teacher at the meeting used her body to hold it shut, and was shot in the leg and arm through the door.

Maryrose Kristopik, a music teacher at the school, kept 20 children safe by barricading them into a closet. Even when the gunman battered on the door screaming: "Let me in! Let me in!" she kept her nerve and blocked the door with her own body. Mrs Kristopik said: "I did take the children into the closet and talked with them to keep them quiet. I told them that I loved them. I said there was a bad person in the school. I didn't want to tell them anything past that."

One door had several instruments, including big xylophones, blocking it and she stood in front of the other holding it firm. "I was just trying to be as strong as possible," she said. "I was thinking about the children. I told them that we had to keep quiet and we were hiding and nobody knew we were there. Of course I was afraid too. I wanted them to be quiet, I thought it was a pretty secure, out-of-the-way place." She led her children out only when she heard the gunshots had stopped. Brenda Lebinski said her eight-year-old daughter was safe thanks to the teacher's actions. "My daughter's teacher is my hero," Ms Lebinski said. "She locked all the kids in a closet and that saved their lives."
Large windows left teacher Kaitlin Roig's classroom exposed, so she huddled 15 children into a tiny bathroom when she first heard gunshots. The 29-year-old locked the door and pulled a bookshelf across it. She said it was a struggle to get all the pupils in but she knew it was their only option. "I put one of my students on top of the toilet. I just knew we had to get in there. I was just telling them they were going to be OK," she told ABC News. "I told them we had to be absolutely quiet because I was afraid that if he did come in and hear us he would just shoot at the door. I said there are bad guys out there now. We need to wait for the good guys."

Thinking these might be their last moments alive, she assumed the role of a parent. "I said, 'I need you to know that I love you all very much and it's going to be OK'. Because I thought we were all going to die. I wanted them to know someone loved them and I wanted that to be the last thing they heard." When the police arrived to tell them it was safe to come out, Ms Roig was so frightened she made them put their badges under the door so she could be sure it was them. Only then did she lead the children out to safety.

Another teacher, Abbey Clements, acted quickly to save lives. When she heard gunshots outside her classroom she initially thought they might be folding chairs, left out for a concert, falling over. But when she looked outside she was confronted with a very different scene. "When I poked my head out the door and saw the custodian [janitor] running to the front of the building I realised they were shots," she said. She pulled two students and two other teachers who were standing in the hall through her door to hide them. "We corralled those two kids into my classroom to stay with me. We went into lockdown, which meant that I ran to get the keys and told the kids to sit in the place where we practised for emergencies.

"It was even scary to lock the door because I had to open the door back up and put my hand out – because the lock is on the outside – and then come back into the closet area," Ms Clements added. Trying to calm the children, she attempted to muffle the haunting sounds of gunshots and screams broadcasting over the intercom and read them stories.

An as-yet-unidentified teacher saved an eight-year-old pupil. He was standing in a hallway as bullets whistled through when he was pulled from harm. "I saw some of the bullets going down the hall that I was right next to and then a teacher pulled me into her classroom," the boy told CBS News.

It was not just teachers who showed extraordinary courage. While the gunman roamed the halls, the school janitor – whose fate is still not known – ran along corridors shouting "Guys! Get down! Hide!", checking that classroom doors were locked. And librarian Yvonne Cech locked herself, two library clerks, an assistant and 18 fourth-graders in a closet behind the library's filing cabinets while the sound of gunfire cracked outside.

But there were 20 children the staff could not save. Their names and lives could be those from any primary school on either side of the Atlantic. Among them are Daniel Barden, aged six; Chase Kowalski, whose sister Natalie attends the school but escaped injury; Jesse Lewis, six, whose class were set to make gingerbread houses that day; Grace McDonnell, aged six, who lived a street away from her killer; Ana Marquez-Greene, aged seven, the daughter of Canadian jazz saxophonist Jimmy Greene; Emilie Parker, aged six, whose family had moved to Newtown from Utah only a year ago; Avielle Richman, Catherine Hubbard, Noah Vabner, and Benjamin Wheeler, all aged six.

When parents rushed to the nearby fire station that was being used as an emergency base, these were among the children who would not be clutched by grateful families.

Monsignor Robert Weiss of Newtown's St Rose of Lima Catholic church was there. He watched as parents came to realise that they would never see their children alive again. "All of them were hoping their child would be found OK. But when they gave out the actual death toll, they realised their child was gone," Mgr Weiss said.

He recalled the reaction of one of the victims' brothers. "They told a little boy it was his sister who passed on," Mgr Weiss said. "The boy's response was, 'I'm not going to have anyone to play with.'"

"Relative: Adam Lanza's Mom Pulled Him Out of School

By RANDY KREIDER | Good Morning America – Sat, Dec 15, 2012

The aunt of Connecticut shooter Adam Lanza said the shooter's mother pulled him out of Newtown's public school system because she was unhappy with the school district's plans for her son.

Adam Lanza's mother Nancy, 52, was the first victim of his Friday shooting spree. Lanza shot Nancy in the face and then drove her car to Sandy Hook Elementary School, where he killed 20 students and six adults before taking his own life.

Marsha Lanza, who is Adam's aunt and Nancy's ex-sister-in-law, called her former sister-in-law an "awesome ... giving person." She also told Evelyn Holmes of ABC-owned-and-operated station WLS in Chicago that Nancy had once been a classroom aide at the Sandy Hook school.

Marsha, who lives in the Chicago suburb of Crystal Lake, said that Nancy had home-schooled Adam after pulling him out of the Newtown public school system. "She mentioned she wound up home-schooling him because she battled with the school district," said Marsha.

She did not know when Adam had left school. According to former classmates, Adam had attended the local high school at least through part of 10th grade.

Nancy Lanza divorced her husband Peter in 2009, when Adam was 17. "She didn't have to work because my brother-in-law left her very well off," said Marsha. "As part of their divorce settlement she got the house."

Marsha also said, however, that Nancy had purchased guns because she was living alone in a big house. Nancy was originally from New Hampshire, said Marsha, and comfortable with weapons.

According to police, a Glock handgun, a Sig Sauer handgun and a Bushmaster rifle were recovered after the shooting at Sandy Hook. Authorities say that Nancy Lanza had five weapons registered to her, including a Sig Sauer, a Glock and a Bushmaster. Police have not confirmed that hers were the weapons used in the slayings.

Nancy was described by Police Chief Donald Briggs of Kingston, N.H., where she grew up, as a "very, very kind considerate loving young lady. She lived here a good part of her life she was very involved in the community, very well respected."

Briggs and Rockingham County Sheriff Michael Downing spoke at a news conference where Downing read a statement from Nancy's brother, James Champion, who was a captain with the Kingston police before he retired but still works part-time for both the Kingston police and Rockingham County sheriff.

"The family of Nancy Lanza share the grief of a community and the nation of we struggle to comprehend the tremendous loss that we all share our hearts and prayers are with those who share in this loss the families teachers staff and students of Sandy Brook Elementary school the first responders and to all others touched by this tragedy on behalf of Nancy's mother and siblings we reach out to the community of Newtown and express our heartfelt sorrow for the incomprehensible and profound innocence that has affected so many the family requests that you respect their privacy during this time of anguish and loss," Downing said, reading the statement on behalf of the Champion family.

Periódico La Jornada
Domingo 16 de diciembre de 2012, p. 19

Washington, 15 de diciembre. La reciente matanza cometida por un hombre armado en una escuela primaria de Connecticut, que dejó 26 muertos, 20 de ellos niños, disparó un alud de llamados para que el presidente Barack Obama aborde el control de armas, tema sensible que evitó durante su primer mandato. En un discurso, el mandatario instó este sábado a emprender una acción significativa para evitar más tragedias como ésta, pero no pidió específicamente leyes más estrictas sobre el control de armas.

Las autoridades dieron a conocer hoy los nombres de las víctimas del atacante, identificado como Adam Lanza, de 20 años, en la escuela primaria Sandy Hook. Un médico forense dijo que las víctimas recibieron tiros de rifle a corta distancia en más de una ocasión. La lista reveló que todos los adultos ultimados eran mujeres. De los 20 menores asesinados, ocho eran niños y 12 niñas. Todos tenían entre seis y siete años. Creo que iban en primer grado, expresó el forense en jefe de Connecticut, Wayne Carver, a los reporteros sobre las víctimas, durante una conferencia de prensa televisada a escala nacional. Todas las heridas de las que tengo conocimiento fueron causadas por el arma larga, agregó Carver en referencia a un rifle hallado en el lugar.
La policía encontró al menos tres armas: un rifle y dos pistolas. Carver dijo que las muertes están clasificadas como homicidios y todos recibieron más de un disparo. El forense señaló que la escena es la peor que ha visto durante su carrera. Carver también confirmó que el agresor asesinó a su madre, Nancy Lanza, de quien previamente se dijo que era maestra de la escuela. Pero se demostró que no tenía ninguna relación laboral con el colegio. Se cree que Adam Lanza forzó su ingreso a la escuela la mañana del viernes y empezó a disparar. Después de ejecutar a 20 niños y seis adultos, se suicidó. Su madre fue hallada sin vida en su casa, no lejos del plantel.
El país necesita que (Obama) envíe un proyecto de ley al Congreso para arreglar este problema, enfatizó el alcalde de Nueva York, Michael Bloomberg. Instar a acciones significativas no es suficiente. Necesitamos acción inmediata. Ya hemos escuchado antes toda esa retórica.
El portavoz de la Casa Blanca, Jay Carney, comentó que era muy pronto para abordar el tema. Existe, estoy seguro, habrá, más bien, un día para mantener los usuales debates de política de Washington, pero no creo que hoy sea ese día.
La gente reaccionó rápidamente. Hoy es el día, podía leerse en carteles en manos de activistas reunidos afuera de la Casa Blanca durante una vigilia pocas horas después del tiroteo. La petición de una legislación de control de armas más dura reunió más de 80 mil firmas en el sitio web de la Casa Blanca este sábado.
El poderoso lobby que defiende la libre tenencia de armas, la Asociación Nacional del Rifle (NRA, por sus siglas en inglés), es muy crítica de Obama, pese a que ha hecho muy poco en contra de su plataforma. Tanto demócratas como republicanos son muy cautelosos de tener choques con ellos.
Pero tras ganar las elecciones de noviembre, Obama no volverá a enfrentarse a los votantes. Jonathan Lowy, director del Brady Center’s Legal Action Project, dijo que la NRA no es realmente de temer.
“El presidente Obama y otros demócratas han malinterpretado y sobrestimado la fuerza del lobby de las armas”, dijo Lowy, cuya organización lleva el nombre de James Brady, el secretario de Prensa de la Casa Blanca que recibió un disparo en 1981 durante un intento de asesinato contra el entonces presidente Ronald Reagan.

“En las elecciones pasadas, ellos (los miembros del lobby) transfirieron muchos fondos, pero 99 por ciento de éstos hacia candidatos que resultaron derrotados. Eso es lo que sucede en cada ciclo electoral”, aseveró Lowy. Gastan mucho dinero, hacen mucho ruido, pero sus candidatos pierden, por lo que realmente no son una fuerza a la cual haya que tener miedo, agregó.
“Obama dijo a la nación que reaccionó a la matanza en Newtown ‘como un padre’, y eso es comprensible, pero lo que más necesitamos es que actúe como presidente, un mandatario ya liberado de las limitaciones que le impusieron las elecciones y sus compromisos, y que se atreva a modificar la agenda nacional y las leyes sobre las armas de fuego”, escribió por su lado David Remnick en The New Yorker, publicación considerada de izquierda.
En tanto, el teniente de la policía de Connecticut, Paul Vance, indicó que la policía del estado recabó evidencia sólida que debería ayudar a determinar los móviles de Lanza y la forma en que logró entrar a la escuela. Nuestros investigadores en la escena del crimen recabaron muy buena evidencia en esta pesquisa que, con suerte, podría ser usada por nuestros especialistas para dilucidar por completo y, lo más importante, explicar por qué ocurrió esto.
Investigadores trabajaron durante la noche y trasladaron los cadáveres a la oficina del forense para practicar las necropsias, decía el comunicado de la policía. Los nombres de las víctimas aún no han sido revelados, aunque todas han sido identificadas. La mujer adulta hallada en una segunda escena del crimen estaba emparentada con el autor de la masacre, aseguró la policía en un comunicado. Muchos medios informaron que se trataba de su madre, Nancy Lanza.
La mujer poseía legalmente una Sig Sauer y una Glock, modelos de armas habituales de la policía, y un rifle Bushmaster .223 M4 carabina, de estilo militar, según funcionarios de las fuerzas de seguridad, quienes también creen que Adam Lanza usó al menos algunas de éstas. Dan Holmes, propietario de un negocio de decoración que recientemente se encargó del jardín de Nancy Lanza para adornarlo para la Navidad, aseguró que la mujer era una coleccionista de armas ávida, que una vez le mostró un rifle de alta gama realmente bonito que había comprado.
Dijo que a menudo iba a practicar tiro con sus hijos, comentó Holmes.
Newtown figuró alguna vez entre las cinco comunidades más seguras de Estados Unidos. El hospital local de Yale-New Haven abrió su centro de apoyo sicológico en el acomodado suburbio de 27 mil habitantes situado a unos 130 kilómetros de la ciudad de Nueva York. A media mañana, unos 50 vehículos estaban estacionados frente al recinto.
Unas 50 personas se reunieron para una misa en la iglesia episcopal St. John, en la comunidad vecina de Sandy Hook, para recordar a las víctimas.
La cifra de muertos superó la de uno de los tiroteos más conocidos en centros escolares de Estados Unidos, el del instituto de Columbine, en Littleton, Colorado, donde dos adolescentes mataron a 13 alumnos y trabajadores del centro antes de suicidarse."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 14, 2012No. 13

STATEMENTS OF MAYORS AGAINST ILLEGAL GUNS CO-CHAIRS ON NEWTOWN, CONNECTICUT SHOOTING

Statement of Mayor's Against Illegal Guns Co-Chair New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg:

"With all the carnage from gun violence in our country, it's still almost impossible to believe that a mass shooting in a kindergarten class could happen. It has come to that. Not even kindergarteners learning their ABC's are safe. We heard after Columbine that it was too soon to talk about gun laws. We heard it after Virginia Tech. After Tucson and Aurora and Oak Creek. And now we are hearing it again. For every day we wait, 34 more people are murdered with guns. Today, many of them were five-year olds. President Obama rightly sent his heartfelt condolences to the families in Newtown. But the country needs him to send a bill to Congress to fix this problem. Calling for 'meaningful action' is not enough. We need immediate action. We have heard all the rhetoric before. What we have not seen is leadership - not from the White House and not from Congress. That must end today. This is a national tragedy and it demands a national response. My deepest sympathies are with the families of all those affected, and my determination to stop this madness is stronger than ever."

Statement of Mayors Against Illegal Guns Co-Chair Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino:

"As a parent and grandparent, I am overcome with both grief and outrage by the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut. This unspeakable act of violence will forever imprint this day in our hearts and minds. My heart goes out to the families impacted by this senseless tragedy and the many others we have recently witnessed across the United States. As a Mayor who has witnessed too many lives forever altered by gun violence, it is my responsibility to fight for action. Today's tragedy reminds us that now is the time for action. Innocent children will now never attend a prom, never play in a big game, never step foot on a college campus. Now is the time for a national policy on guns that takes the loopholes out of the laws, the automatic weapons out of our neighborhoods and the tragedies like today out of our future."

"EU: tras la masacre, una oportunidad

La masacre ocurrida el viernes pasado en una primaria de Newtown, Connecticut, ha cimbrado a la opinión pública estadunidense, que sigue preguntándose las razones que llevaron a un muchacho tímido a asesinar a 20 niños y nueve adultos, incluida su propia madre. Pero, más allá de la interrogante, de las manifestaciones locales y nacionales de luto por esas muertes dolorosas y sin sentido, de las minuciosas pesquisas policiales y de la saturación informativa sobre los perfiles de las víctimas, del homicida y de sus familiares directos, este episodio ha puesto ante la mirada del país vecino la proliferación incontrolada de armas de fuego en sus hogares, fenómeno que ha facilitado la comisión de hechos de barbarie como la referida.

Como se ha venido señalando desde hace más de una década, existe una relación directa entre la permisividad para la comercialización indiscriminada de armas de fuego, que va desde pistolas hasta rifles de asalto, por una parte, y la frecuencia, por otra, de masacres como la de Newtown. Hace más de 10 años, el cineasta Michael Moore documentó puntualmente tal vinculación en la película Bowling for Columbine (Masacre en Columbine), pero hasta ahora la clase política estadunidense se ha negado a establecer un mínimo control de tal armamento, principalmente por temor a perder votos en los amplios sectores conservadores que se aferran a la libertad absoluta de poseer armas de fuego y que están claramente representados por la Asociación Nacional del Rifle, la cual tiene un enorme poder de cabildeo en Washington. A esos sectores debe agregarse la red de intereses de la industria armamentista, que ha sido factor decisivo no sólo para mantener el descontrol interno en la venta de armas, sino también para llevar al país a incursiones militares desastrosas, como las emprendidas por el gobierno de George W. Bush en Afganistán e Irak.

Sin afán de minimizar los trágicos acontecimientos de Newtown, resulta esclarecedor que la sociedad del país vecino, conmocionada por la treintena de asesinatos perpetrados en esa localidad, no sea capaz de reaccionar, en cambio, ante las decenas de miles de homicidios cometidos en México en los seis años recientes con armas vendidas en Estados Unidos. Washington exige a las autoridades mexicanas que controlen e impidan el paso de drogas ilícitas al norte de la frontera común, pero hasta ahora no ha exhibido volutad política para proceder de la misma forma con las armas de fuego, incluso de grueso calibre, que proliferan en el mercado mexicano.
Con todo, resulta esperanzador que algunos sectores del Partido Demócrata del país vecino empiecen a tomar en serio la necesidad de regular la venta de armamento. Por ejemplo, la senadora de California Dianne Feinstein volverá a plantear la prohibición de comerciar fusiles de asalto, aprobada en 1994, expirada 10 años más tarde y declarada inconstitucional por la Suprema Corte de Justicia en 2008. En sentido semejante se han expresado los alcaldes de Hartford (capital de Connecticut), Pedro Segarra; Michael Bloomberg (Nueva York), y Chicago, Rahm Emanuel.
En suma, con todo y su carga trágica, la masacre de Newtown puede representar una oportunidad para establecer un mínimo control sobre la comercialización y posesión de armas de fuego, al menos de las automáticas y de grueso calibre, en el país vecino.
El gobierno de México, por su parte, debe expresar ante las autoridades de Washington que la publicitada cooperación en la guerra contra las drogas ilícitas no tiene ningún sentido si los fabricantes y vendedores de armas estadunidenses siguen haciendo pingües negocios en el vasto mercado de la delincuencia organizada."
