Picture-perfect town struggling to understand
Posted on Sun, Dec 16, 2012
NEWTOWN, Conn. - This, residents say, is a special town. Why, exactly? They'll point you to the town's prized flagpole, which stands in the middle of an intersection on Main Street. They'll mention the Newtown General Store, purveyor of locally grown delicacies and piping-hot coffee. They speak fondly of $2 movie nights at the town hall, tree lightings at Christmas, and parades on Labor Day.

    A truly tragic event and nothing but thoughts and prayers for the families affected by this event. Unfortunate how the media is using this event though for ratings by harassing the families for stories and comments.

    I only hope the true root cause is determined here as clearly there is severe mental/social issues the led to this event.
