One of my students saw that I was reading this and asked me why. I can remember the weeks following Sandy Hook that I was just devastated at the loss of life. My daughter was about the same age of those beautiful children murdered that day.
For the families to have struggled through the trauma of this experience to then have to deal with Alex Jones and his campaign of misinformation surrounding Sandy Hook is disgusting. I applaud the efforts of Noah Pozner's father, Lenny, to take down the many posts and forums surrouding conspiracy theories and the Sandy Hook shooting.
The families fought long and hard and won their case after many years of reliving the events.
Williamson does a good job of giving a full picture of the events of that day, but of also demonstrating how so many conspiracy theorists still believe their own narratives.
