Does he have a Facebook?I couldn't find it. I am reading that he was really smart but people who knew him said he was weird and couldn't feel physical pain. Which, I have never heard of. IP: Logged |

There are some people who have some irregularity in their brainchemistry, who can not feel any physical pain; and others (I donīt think it is always connected) canīt empathize with others due to a chemical disbalance, in heavy cases this renders them unable to recognize faces even of relatives, as our memory / recognition is linked to our emotions. And if you can`t feel emotions, you canīt recognize anywone. I read about that in the book of David Goleman about emotional intelligence years ago, so it is possible that I do not recall the details rightly. My post is only meant as an explanation to people not feeling physical pain; it doesnīt make any of this tragic crime easier.
Even if he has aspergers, autism and is a sociopath by chemical disbalance in his brain, it is no excuse. And even more so, there are people with all these things who still don`t do such an awful thing.

I wouldn't say this kid didn't recognize anyone. I think this says something about our healthcare system and the lack of help there is for mental health in this country. No one shoots up a school and commits suicide unless there is something wrong. I bet no one thought to help him though because of his disability/chemical imbalance.IP: Logged |

The police pulled his FB down as soon as they knew who he was. Or at least they pulled Ryans` (brother) down.

health care is its own debate, but you cannot force a mentally ill person to get mental care, and that is, by far, the most difficult aspect of dealing with a family member who suffers from mental illness. no matter how far gone a person is mentally they have to ask for help themselves and voluntarily walk into hospitals and clinics to get assistance. and, how often is a mentally ill person capable of doing this? and then continuing to take their meds, make appointments, etc? it's quite hopeless at times, depending on the severity of the illness. my brother is schizophrenic and it's extremely difficult to handle someone with a mentally ill condition. as much as i hurt for those families who lost children i also hurt for the mother and brother and father who knew what their own family member was suffering from; people don't really want to hear it, but it's just as hard for the shooter's family IP: Logged |

I wasn`t referring to the shooter especially, just because someone said they had never heard about a person not being able to feel physical pain. My post actually had nothing to do with this individual.

Are you sure you are referring to a mental condition, and not a psychic one?

Well, you can direct your children to therapy when they live with you and they are under 18. We obviously can only guess at the relationship between Adam Lanza and his mother, but we do know that he was only 20 and still living at home. Whatever his mental and emotional state was, it certainly did not develop overnight and it is especially tragic to think that this could have been potentially avoided if some action had been taken earlier in his life.But again, we don't know what measures his family might have taken in the past. So sad and tragic. IP: Logged |

^ Thank you!I wonder if he might actually be a Sag moon? They have him at 8* Cap at 12 pm with unknown birth time. I should know by now how many degrees the moon advances per day, but I don't. IP: Logged |

only thing is that we don't know the degree of the moon because it's just a noon chart with unknown birth time. it could be a tighter conjunction or over 10 degrees if it's after 11pm IP: Logged |

it's capricorn.. moon changes sign every 2 and a half days. (12 signs x 2.5 = 30 days) soo it's 60 hours total/30 degrees = 1 degree every 2 hours. so noon back to midnight would be back 6 degrees back IP: Logged |

You make a good point. A lot of people who COULD potentially have a reason to flip out like this don't, and are more then capable of maintaining their sanity. Regardless of what happens in our lives we all have the personal choice of how to handle our issues, and are accountable for our own actions. About the astrology part... If the Taurus Sun, Capricorn Moon chart is correct, and if Adam Lanza was born close to noon... It's interesting to note that his Mercury at 5 degrees Aries, and Moon near 8 Capricorn, would be right on top of the current Uranus/Pluto Square. Right now it's Uranus at 4 degrees Aries squaring Pluto at 8 degrees Capricorn... These are outer planets which indicates that he's been boiling over inside for quite some time. If he had a Cap Moon near the current Pluto transit, rage against his family is a possible motive for his actions. I did read an article online where someone associated with the family said that his mother seemed to not know what to do about her 'odd' son... Apparently he was book smart but very quiet and antisocial. Myself, I have Sun at 5 degrees of Capricorn, and have experienced the Uranus/Pluto square quite keenly in the last few years. Although I've been through some periods of frustration, I haven't indulged in any murderous rampages, and certainly don't plan to... Even though I'm pretty quiet and antisocial myself at times (Not all quiet people are nutters, folks!). Everyone has pain and stress in their lives, it's how we handle it that counts. One of the benefits of knowing astrology is that we know that when a stressful time/transit occurs that it will eventually pass, and we'll move on from that difficult time in our lives. A lot of young people have very little concept of how the passage of time heals... All they know is the pain and anguish that they are feeling right now! Something in this young man burst. It's not an excuse. It was his choice how to handle his inner turmoil... But this does offer something of an explanation as to what psychological dynamics were active for him at the time this terrible event occurred. I'm noticing a lot of the perpetrators of these types of crimes lately have Capricorn planets. The movie theater guy was a Sag with other placements in Cap. It seems Pluto transiting through Capricorn is setting off all the potential loose cannons out there that happen to have Capricorn planets. I wonder if a similar pattern occurred with Sag planet people during Pluto's transit through Sag? IP: Logged |

I guess Pisces/Capricorn Moon fits the most... PiscesMoon is more of an antisocial loner who id delusional and fantasies about his actions.. but Capricorn Moon will think cruel thoughts of punishing others and act upon itCapricorn IP: Logged |

Because people don't listen,... they do their own thing and think they know better. We have choice... There was a big flood. One man was sitting on the roof of his house. The water was at his feet and there was a severe risk of drowning. Another person with a boat came close and asked him to jump in. No, no, said the man, God will save me. I trust Him. The water rose to his knees, some helicopter flew over and threw out a ladder to him. No, no, said the man ,God will save me. I trust him. The waters rose more and after a few hours the man drowned. He arrived in Heaven and met with God, he was very angry and said. God, I trusted you, why did you not save me. Well, said God, I sent you a boat, I sent you a helicopter, but did you listen to me???

The moral here is that before things escalate badly , there are warnings,there is help, but we often choose to ignore that and go our own deluded way. IP: Logged |
