dudeone Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Man who helped Sandy Hook kids is harassed by conspiracy theorists By Dylan Stableford, Yahoo! News | The Lookout – 10 hrs ago http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/gene-rosen-sandy-hook-conspiracy-155033813.html A man who found six children in his driveway in Newtown, Conn., after their teacher had been shot and killed in last month's school massacre has become the target of conspiracy theorists who believe the shootings were staged. “I don’t know what to do,” Gene Rosen told Salon.com. “I’m getting hang-up calls, I’m getting some calls, I’m getting emails with, not direct threats, but accusations that I’m lying, that I’m a crisis actor, ‘How much am I being paid?'” Rosen, a 69-year-old retired psychologist who lives near Sandy Hook Elementary School where the shootings took place, says his inbox is filled with emails like this one: How are all those little students doing? You know, the ones that showed up at your house after the ‘shooting’. What is the going rate for getting involved in a gov’t sponsored hoax anyway? “The quantity of the material is overwhelming,” Rosen said, adding that he's sought the advice of a retired state police officer and plans to alert the FBI. On the morning of Dec. 14, Rosen had just finished feeding his cats when he saw six small children "sitting in a neat semicircle" at the end of his driveway. According to the Associated Press: A school bus driver was standing over them, telling them things would be all right. It was about 9:30 a.m., and the children, he discovered, had just run from the school to escape a gunman. "We can't go back to school," one little boy told Rosen. "Our teacher is dead." Adam Lanza, the 20-year-old gunman, had shot his way into the school and opened fire, killing 20 children and six adults. Rosen took the four girls and two boys—students of slain teacher Victoria Soto—into his home, gave them toys and comforted them while he tried to reach their parents. He spent the days following the massacre telling his story to the swarming media that invaded the small Connecticut town in the wake of the shootings. “I wanted to speak about the bravery of the children,” Rosen told Salon. “I guess I kind of opened myself up to this.” A quick Web search for Rosen's name reveals some of what he's opened himself up to: Appearing online are photos of his home, his address and phone number, several fake YouTube accounts and plenty of conspiracy theories. One post, entitled "Grieving Town Grandfather, or Bad 'Crisis Actor,'" reads in part: Gene's oft repeated, and changing, story about that day, focuses totally on the kids and the sound of gunshots. Even though his eyes and ears should've taken in the whole scene, his story focuses completely on the kids and the guns. Why? Well, if this was a false flag event designed to move political opinion on gun control, here in America, then you would get a lot more bang for your buck by talking about the innocent little children. That's what tugs on America's heart strings the most ... especially around Christmas time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom-The-Great Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 seriously, the idiots who started this "theory" of the shooting being staged really needs to go crawl in a hole and die somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 And my brother is buying into this garbage because he's an idiot. To no surprise he listens to Alex Jones daily. If his show wasn't based around conspiracy theories, he would be out of a job pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobble Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I'm sorry, but I can't rationalize any political group staging a mass shooting of children for any reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tru_Knyte Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Stories like this just make me sick. How can anyone be so moronic as to actually believe that tripe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EX_Bert_Worshipper Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Oh, that poor guy. I imagine it was pretty traumatic for him to have to deal with those kids that day, as it was traumatic for the whole town. Now to have to deal with trolls and weirdos like this? Unforgivable.

Lancaster Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 The people who claim this tragedy is staged/planning by (insert any group) are the same crazies who says the 9/11 attacks were orchestrated by insiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Maybe they should be given a one way ticket to Afghanistan so they can go see if the kids are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsCanuck Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I don't even understand what this would accomplish if the gov. staged this? These people need a life. Leave the man alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Ambien Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I'd point out why paying these conspiracy nuts any attention is a bad idea, but then again they represent a convenient straw man for several people here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
