Sandy Hook Conspiracy Shooting: Professor with Controversial Comments Partially Acknowledges Tragedy
The professor who stated that the Dec. 14 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre didn't occur the way the mainstream media described it is now willing to somewhat acknowledge the severity of tragic situation.
James Tracy, a Florida Atlantic University communications professor, directly addressed the controversial comments he posted in his Memory Hole blog by saying the following to Daily Mail:
"There are certainly people that lost their loved ones, there is no doubt of that. If a similar tragedy were visited upon me and my family, I would be beside myself. But I think one of my ways of healing would be attempting to find out what went wrong, where was the failure."
The 47-year-old professor originally said that the shooting didn't transpire the way authorities described it and offended several of the shooting victims' families in the process. Tracy elaborated on his conspiracy theory through comments in his personal blog in four Sandy Hook-related posts.
"While it sounds like an outrageous claim, one is left to inquire whether the Sandy Hook shooting ever took place-at least the way law enforcement authorities and the nation's news media have described," one of Tracy's posts read.
The professor also appeared on the "Guns and Butter" radio show on Thursday, Jan. 10, in which he claimed there was a reported second shooter as well as conflicting media reports surrounding the horrific Dec. 14 tragedy in Newtown, Conn.
In his latest blog, Tracy addressed media reports from two months prior to the Sandy Hook shooting up until Dec. 14, giving his opinion on the lead-up to the shooting and also what transpired. The professor points out a slew of reports with conflicting information. He stated that those inaccuracies ranged from witnesses claiming they saw more than one shadow at the scene to rumors that police had more than one person in custody.
Tracy even went as far as accusing President Barack Obama and his administration of using the media coverage in order to push their campaign for gun control.
