Sandy Hook gunman's father: He would have killed me in a heartbeat
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 мар 2014
- The father of Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza broke his silence for the first time since the December 2012 massacre. Don Dahler talks with Andrew Solomon, who interviewed Peter Lanza, about why the gunman's father decided to speak out.
At least he’s not making excuses for his kid.
"We have a disturbed son."
So the mother goes out, buys him an extemely dangerous gun, takes him to a firing range.
And not a single person in these interviews even addresses that. That's why this happens over and over, nobody is addressing the real issues behind these maniacs of all ages with guns.
The gun didn't pull the trigger. As you said, if it wasn't for another person enabling that access, this tragedy might never have happened. Sadly, this is a multiple point failure in parenting as well as the mental health system. If we don't look at solving the root causes of these shootings nothing will ever get better. The weapon used is secondary.
@@fragmatic1964 the root cause is white supremacy. mental health and gun control are deflections
Certain people should not have guns. The blind, for example. The mother should have known better. She allowed the psycho to control her.
She should be arrested.
Dude, Adam lanzas face gives me chills. It’s like he’s staring into my soul 💀
Fr, he looks terrifying 😧
So scary
It's evil
Those scary eyes were the last thing they saw
Nah, he can’t see it. He doesn’t have one so he doesn’t know how it looks like to have one.
If the father new his ex wife was a "prisoner in her own home" why didn't he step in and try to help her and his son? I call BS.
Bc it was her problem now, he got out and never looked back it seems.
It's so easy to have all the answers when you're not in the situation, isn't it?
@@LoisAGrimm You are right. I did sound a bit judgmental. I did not intend to come off that way. This whole subject with regards to Sandy Hook has me perplexed and I have a trillion questions. I didn't mean to pass judgement on this father I was calling BS on the narrative being put out to the public. That was what I was referring to. I guess I should have been more detailed.
It sounds like the mother did exactly that and did everything she could for her child. Now with that being said clearly her thought process on keeping guns in the house is the ultimate deciding factor in this tragedy. Adam was seen by professionals and ultimately they were the ones that dropped the ball. The father I believe has nothing to do with this as in it wasn't his choices that made Adam do what he did. Dad divorced Mom. Mom wanted custody. Kid was troubled. Troubled kid was taken to professionals that pry loaded kid up on pills. Mom of kid kept guns in the house. Kid loses his mind takes guns and kills mom and then went after those poor babies. The major problem here is our mental health facilities in the United States are non-existent. Regan is the ultimate reason I'd hate to say why a lot of this has happened. It all goes back to somewhere and getting rid of Belleviews and kook prisons is a huge problem.
He needed mental health help never ignore mental health it is extremely important
He didn’t see his son in two years? That could have made a lot of difference in that kid’s life.
He was 20 years old and his mom was buying him guns...a little dad time wasn't going to help a psychopath lol
apparently he didn’t want anything to do with his father. no contact or anything so its not really his fault
adam had been planing scince 2008
plus adam cut off contact
Stop. You and I both no that’s not true
Adams clearly deranged, but this guy shouldn't be winning awards for father of the year
Just by looking at his face you could tell he wasn't ok
If this guy was my father I think I would have a few mental health issues myself-
You sound like you already do
@@michelleperuski6667 lmao 🤣
@@michelleperuski6667 projection
@@michelleperuski6667 wow, thx for the diagnosis doc.
Indeed
Who in their right mind would have high powered weapons in a home where someone who is disturbed, mentally ill, or senile resides?
define high powered
I'm pro constitution, but it's likely his mother felt compelled to allow guns for the psychopath. She should have called the county and police and had him committed.
I wish he never killed himself and they tortured him and then killed him rip to all of those kids😭
I think parents are in denial of how evil their children are
He doesn’t seem in denial…
not at all. he's clearly stating the issues. lol
Bro did you not watch the video at all?
"I wish my son was never born" Man, it feel good to be a gangsta.
I don't know how I should feel about this video. My first reaction is that the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. He wishes his son had never been born? Obviously no attachment or love for his son. What happened to parents loving their children unconditionally? So, the mother was in deep denial and more interested in making everything appear fine on the outside, and the father was disconnected. No wonder Adam Lanza was even more troubled than anyone realized. Looks like it might possibly be genetic. I think it's a depraving thing for the father to say. Makes me wonder how Adam was raised when his parents were together. Did the boy pick up on the fact that his father really didn't love him? The whole thing is very, very sad.
His father is a narcissist.
RedLikeWine The father is a loser
But then again, maybe the Father was just saying that so the public wouldn't throw blame on him. Near the end of the video, they said the Father won't speak on where, and how his son was burried. Maybe that's bc he's protecting him. I mean either way if the Dad said that he still loved his son or not he would still recieve backlash. Who knows though, he hadn't seen his son for 2 years when this tragedy happened. It's just a tragedy for everyone involved... rip
well, maybe peter lanza initially loved his sons but he can't love him anymore after what he's done.
49
What father would ever say that
What a fraud
He hadnt seen his kid in 2 years...he says this sort of thing...i mean look the kid turned out a monster but its no wonder
Its interesting how his dad didn't mention the manifesto Adam wrote for a school assignment in it he wrote about killing elementary children and the teacher a lot of sweeping stuff under the rug went on.
I think it's hilarious how much this dude just gives up his son like he's eating a bag of Doritos.
maybe because he never was born? fakefakefakefake. do some research, please.
The Green Knight Alex Jones has since admitted to suffering from a psychotic disorder/break that causes grandiose beliefs. Plenty of people have it though and cause no harm. It’s what one of the slender man stabbing girls had. Who was 12...............🙄
His son murdered 20 children who were still learning their ABCs. I mean its not hard to condemn your own son if he did a heinous act like that
That’s because he’s not real, nor was Adam.
@@michaelmachado2572 I agree. The whole town was a CIA town. Almost all the so-called parents all moved there only a year before. All planned down to the last detail and picked a fake kid with mental health problems to do the dirty deed. Just like Aurora and all the others.
Sounds like his dad was evil
Parents of shooters are in a lose lose. They should just never speak because they will always be blamed, sometimes unfairly so
@@johnmeister2675 only the killer is responsible for the actions of the killer
@@mcguffindoe192"we know our son had problems" goes out and buys guns worth a couple thousand in total for him. Hmm totally not the parents fault, if they even existed that is. This ain't real.
You knew that but allowed him to have guns
He was 20 years old and lived with the mom...she was the one
It was the mom.
Nobody will ever know his circumstances but i feel like his mom was possibly an Enabler. Because why would she be a prisoner in her own home? Was she afraid of her son? i mean, why not of gotten him help sooner?
@@michelleperuski6667 And you can't actually buy a gun if you have MH issue. So if you have a son with MH issues you shouldn't be buying guns then introducing him to them. Highly illegal and irresponsible.
Pro choice can save life too
Uhm, anyone with a mental condition should not handle any guns says the responsible mother
Who could blame him I wouldnt want to claim him neither
For adam to feel left out and not asking for help is a big problem. Adam needs love for his support even tho he did the things he did but still be aware of any Behavior or suspicion.
Adam unfortunately was a malignant psychopath, he even as a child in elementary school wrote a book about a cannibalistic old lady who would lure kids, torture, and eat them. His eyes scream out disturbed and lacking a soul.
No wonder why he came out cold and heartless, his father never loved him 🙄
Mabye,he's apart of the reason too,if he had been more involved in Adam Lanza's life knowing probably seeing signs of mental illness and disress,mabye he could of gotten him help before that happened.
1:06 that face is now in my nightmares
OMFG I HATE YOU
fr
Imagine that face being the last thing you see before he shoots your head of at Sany Hook.
@@xMorogothx well you'd be dead so you wouldn't think about it
@@tanepoe9143 lol true
This man was no father and is a terrible person
Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. The fact he says he wishes his son had never been born after the tragedy is disgusting and selfish.
Well your son isn't killer
@@mr.j9125 That's not the point. A parent can hold their child accountable without wishing they were never born. He clearly had no emotional attachment to him or any good memories with his son.
His son was an evil psychopath that murdered 20 babies. I’d regret bringing that level of evil into the world too.
He is as guilty he basically abandoned him
Adam unfortunately was a malignant psychopath, he even as a child in elementary school wrote a book about a cannibalistic old lady who would lure kids, torture, and eat them. His eyes scream out disturbed and lacking a soul. So I don't know if his father being there would have made a difference, especially given Adam didn't want his father around since his father was prone to rational decisions.
Maybe he was that way because of the father you were.
This is why some ppl just shouldn't have kids.. evil
Does anyone have the video of Peter laughing in the background?
No? Please show me.
POPPY SEED
Hm.
@RDA People generally would want to stay away from the public eye after being associated with someone like Adam.
RDA you can find videos of him dancing at the arcade he frequented. There were also photos leaked of adam pointing a gun at his own head.
@@kevinetic5005 And besides that he had a large internet presence having frequented alot of mass shooting boards and stuff.
The moments leading to this depraved act, is also a failure of the community and fellow human beings. Always treat people with compassion and love. Maybe these thing would happen less.
Kahwei Chan this moment in history.. never happened
Amen
@kilahchris I understand what you're saying. I'm in no way justifying his actions. Apologies if I offended you as part of the respective community.
Grow up kid. The world doesn’t and will not work this way.
@@070Jun070 No, things do work this way, kid. Grow up. If given the proper treatment, medicine and sometimes facility care, people with mental issues can, at the very least, not hurt others. You can't toss people away just because they're not as intelligent or sympathetic, as if they're an undomesticated animal. If treated like an animal, you begin to act like one.
i could never feel or talk that way about my child shame on him
Shame on the kid, I would disown my kid if he did something like this or anything involving children
You’re not very bright are you
If all you can do is insult people you don't know you are not very bright obviously
@@michelle0730 I can’t defend child killers either sorry
@@gothicboulder no one asked you to
how u going to sit up here and say he wish his son was never born. Its half of his fault for not seeing his son and not be around him like a father should have. he might be a monster but at the end of the day u always love your kids period. Dosent matter how hard it get and how rough it get but u will always be his precious baby and got the audacity to say i wish he was never born like how dare u say something like that. If his son was still alive right now and you say something like that straight to his face oh trust me your life would be over. Just to be honest No hate or disrespect just say my own opinion. And for the mother its also half of her fault for leave weapons around for her child can get access to them.
They failed those kids
Thought that was Ed Helms
I’m sorry what do you have done to all those little kids you shot them in elementary school and I do I do have a heart for special needs children but I don’t have a heart for you murdered little innocent children and Murdered your mom or your brothers make me sick to my stomach and I’m in tears see all the tragic calls to the children and family
Should of got him help
They did. He had mental health professionals try to help him constantly but that doesn't always save someone
@@starstellastar3680who is this they? the parents that don't even have documentation that they ever existed?
0:54 by reminding them???
Has anyone even seen Peter Lanza? Everyone's always talking 2nd hand. No one has pictures or videos of Peter other than the 2 or 3 that's shown. How did these strangers find Peter's address to send him stuff if news media can't even find him to interview him? Surely that would have been the big interview to get. They would have been stalking his house with video cameras to ask questions. Yet they go around to their uncle's son's grandpa's house to ask questions.
I'm sorry Orange. I hope you find peace.
Watch PBS's Raising Adam Lanza, it's a great documentary. It's on their website.
The things that make to aware ones say, hmmm....
His 2 year absence from his son has something to do with this tragedy.
Nah
Good job BUDDY
Hmm maybe the father being absent for 2 years didn't help any...not at all justifying adam at all but kinda crazy he was absent for the last two years of his life and that's when adam obviously seemed to get worse
And probably needed his father the most. Epic fail from the father.
He had a demon
Dude got that Adam Schiff look🤔
facts
He was cremated at his ashes were given to his dad
So why did Mom get him guns and keep them unlocked Get a job box at the very least
Wow.. that picture of him with his eyes open real wide is beyond scary looking!!! It’s going to give me nightmares!!
He has a pair of lamps on his face.
Kid sat in the basement playing violent video games in between bonding trips to the gunrange with his Mom. None of that mentioned. Long arm of the gun nut lobby.
I don't understand why they didn't get him help?
1:12 they did but the professionals couldn’t predict what’s going to happen
Adams dad wasn’t a good father. If he was involved he could of called his ex out on buying Adam guns .
Adams face really scares me
He checked out and left his ex to deal with him. He's loosing weight till he's anorexic.
Pretending the anonymity is for safety 😅😅😅😅
I pray for this increasingly godless, sinful world.
The father should've never been born either
@@RobertSmurda Idk. Something about him rubs me the wrong the way.
Says who! Maybe the same can be said to you then.
I & all would of been ashamed if he was my son.
but at the end of the day I'm still supporting his family And him because its what i do and I care about a lot of people. Parents that have children with unstable mental health issue. If y'all see you any Behavior or suspicions get help and find support and a Therapies
We got to see the Vegas shooter's brother within 20 hours after the shooting and this dad is still never seen on tv. WTF?
He’s rich and doesn’t want to be on screen
@@agfb4039 people with more money are seen on screen and don't want to be. Ever hear of the poporatzi?
@@abracadabra4634 are you serious? There were a lot of interviews of his brother
@@yoleeisbored Adam Lanza's brother? I never saw a interview of him either. Or heard there was one.
Because there is no such person so there is no grave. Any self respecting investigator can find the grave. There are just a finite amount of cemeteries.
I'm so sorry. I hope you find peace.
No one knows where the graves of a lot of modern mass murders are. They are kept secret to protect the cemetery, protect the gravesite and prevent fans from making it a shrine. Again, happens all the time! Take your crazy and pointed it at something that didn’t lose their 6 year old child.
HE WAS CREMATED OF COURSE THERE IS NO GRAVE
So his father will not say how and where he was buried wierd
Indeed
I know you left this comment a year ago now, but in case anyone was wondering why this is the case:
The grave locations/funerary practices of mass murderers are rarely (almost never) disclosed to the public because it’s very likely that their graves would be vandalized/the funeral homes that helped would face repercussions. If I remember correctly, when the Boston marathon bomber was killed, Bostonians threatened to dig him up if he was buried on city grounds.
I see why they do it, but I don’t think mass murderers or their graves deserve that kind of respect.
His language is bizarre to me, as if he see's his son as absolutely disconnected from him. While I'm not making excuses for Adam at all. I wonder if the quickness to disassociate himself from his son to protect himself was the same attitude he took with his son. Maybe Adam Lanza truly had no one who loved him for real.
If my son killed murdered a thousand people I would think it abhorrent for sure. But I would still love my son and try to support him. That's just how I see being a father.
Dad of the year award
Lets not take any responsibility blame it on my ex wife and son 😂
What a load of crock.
Isn't it weird that less than a year later, Asperger's is removed from the DSM? I'm sure this had nothing to do with it, lol.
Bugler55 it actually was removed buddy. Now there’s just a big autism spectrum.
Now it is considered high functioning autism. One of my children has it
He committed suicide
Where is this guy

Very weird

Oh by the way, I called and talked to a head of school security investigator from another state, about 2 wks ago, and he said he had more visits from law enforcement, that instructed him to notify them before he makes his next trip to CT., or town of Newtown, CT> was going to sue him for harassment!
The last time he went there to investigate, no one would tell him anything. One question he had for them, was who,(what company) cleaned up all the blood, brains, and guts all over the school, after the murders and before the school could be demolished it had to be cleaned by someone?. They refused to tell him!
He also said, that there was frickin Asbestos, all up in that frickin school building!

He was mentally deranged since he was born. Like most of the Adam's apologysts on these comments.
He had aspergers, there are different degrees of this, Christ can heal the broken
