What is new is our ability to get misinformation out at the speed of cell and internet.
Nothing in this story says anything more, to someone who has been in a crisis situation, than a nut went berserk, first reports were wrong, first reports were blasted over the media, and folks with their hats too tight decided to find conspiracies.

Too many changes in stories from beginning to now for me to write off as just a mistake. This is a very dangerous administration that will go to all cost to take over power control from the people to 100% government. I pray I am wrong but I doubt it when speaking of Obama, Hillary, Holder, Fiestein and a whole list of crazies that believe my M&P 40 sitting next to my bed or my AR-15 locked in a safe in my basement is the root of all evil.

Why is it so easy to accept theories lacking factual basis, lacking verifiable, irrefutable facts.
There are conspiracies documented in history. That is a fact.
Powerful people order less powerful people to find and convince and allow powerless people to do the deeds that prove the need for more power for the most powerful.
Is that a correct statement?
One theory running around internet space is that all mass shootings in the last two decades were committed by people brainwashed, coerced, trained, and drugged by the Federal government. Sounds like a Hollywood blockbuster, doesn't it?
Another is that all the shooters belonged to the Democrat Party, or their parents did, or they attended a meeting... The Democrats caused it, conspired to have people killed.
The influence of television, movies and games is intertwined around other blame in some theories. But, just who is being influenced.
The hardcore conspiracy theorists, those who devote hours and hours and hours to doing their research, connecting their dots using facts available, they are the source of some of those TV and movie plots.
Their hardcore followers spread the theories across blogs and websites. These sources are then quoted by believers on other sites, forums, their own blogs. By now, the conspiracy facts are mixed with the opinions, interpretations, and sub-theories of the believers. Whatever facts there were are now overshadowed by fuzzy conjecture.
Are these lesser believers influenced by all the instant case resolution on TV? Is their impatience due to their 1-hr attention span. If a crime is not committed, the evidence presented to them in real time and the case solved in an hour, it must be a conspiracy to keep the evidence from them.
At this stage, eyewitness accounts mean nothing. Wait, is that the whole point? Is that the goal? Are the theory's facts meant to devolve and cloud true facts? Are they meant to...
It seems the more horrendous the event, the more outrageous the conspiracy claims are. These coming out of Sandy Hook prove that point. Some of you here will not be satisfied until you can personally see each victim's body exhumed and examine the wounds.
Wait until the/a judge rules that photos of the victims, out of respect for the families, will not be released. The media will then join the conspiracy theorists reigniting the flames.

Good post.
I might add that there is a market for conspiracy, and absolutely no negative repercussions for thos who promote it. No repercussions at all.

Why do people keep saying this? LE never 'changed' their story, not one time. The press put a bunch of crap out from whatever 'sources' they could scrape together because LE was quiet other than the number of deceased and that the shooter was dead. Every bit of this bad into was reported prior to the first official LE release. Mis-identifying the shooter as his brother, labeling the mother as a teacher, ect. The list is huge and none of it came from LE.

I mentioned three groups. These that you mention, where do they fall.

Where do you place yourself in the conspiracy continuum?
What evidence are you relying on for your opinion?

I am basing it on the timing of the movie theater and school shooting and all the contradicting evidence. There's good and bad in all walks of life.

Contradicting evidence, what are your sources for that evidence?
Does your information come from official written and published reports from the various authorities responsible for investigating the incidents?

Let me rephrase the question.
Those that you know that are embracing the conspiracy theories, are they well informed by information from the authorities investigating the actual incidents?

There have been many links and stories all over the net. I made my determination based upon what I believe and it will not be agreed with by all but that's life.

Do you want someone judging your every movement after a horrific death in your family.
Just because it does not fit what you think you wold do does not make it extraordinary .
Think about what you are saying please.

I went through this before on the subject so listen up.
I have been the parent of a dead child. I didn't have to give a press conference, but I can attest to the emotional toll it takes, and for reasons I have already discussed on this forum, I know that emotions can get all out of whack and that laughter, under the stress, can occur at inappropriate times.
From actual EXPERIENCE (you do understand that I hope) I find nothing in that video that makes me suspicious. I just see something that I can understand from experience. In the same way I understand misinformation being spread at the speed of "wrong".

How many of the officers there do you think are part of the cover up, and how many there do you think were not bright enough to figure out there was a cover up going on? Do you think there could be officers there who determined there was a cover up but were not part of the cover up and simply are remaining silent?
