A vinyl peace sign installed at a playground in Mystic, Connecticut, dedicated to a victim of the Sandy Hook shooting was stolen last week by a man claiming that the Newtown massacre never happened.

After stealing the 50-pound sign from the Grace McDonnell playground, the man called McDonnell’s mother saying he did it because he believes the shooting at the school was a hoax, according to CBS2.

According to the mother, Lynn McDonnell, the man told her that her daughter “never existed.”

Grace McDonnell was one of twenty children killed by 20-year-old Adam Lanza when he went on a shooting rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary on December 14, 2012. Lanza also shot and killed six adult staff members and his mother.

Sandy Hook ‘truthers’ believe that the Newtown shooting never occurred or was part of a ‘false flag’ operation designed to open the door to the confiscation of all guns by the government.

The Grace McDonnell playground is one of 26 planned playgrounds being built by the Where Angels Play Foundation in honor of all 26 victims.

The latest incident comes two weeks after another playground sign, located in Hartford, was vandalized with someone spray-painting ‘Peace to Sandy Hook,’ a peace sign, and the numeral ’2′ on it.

Signs at both locations are being replaced.

Watch the video below from CBS2:

1. Obama Derangement Syndrome at it's worst

They wont be happy until the president is impeached and imprisoned, for being Black

[uppityperson]

15. !

[Aerows]

35. OMG I have severe Katsaridaphobia (roach phobia)

and that thing is humongous on a 28" screen.

[uppityperson]

42. sorry, it seemed appropriate at the time, sorry again

[Aerows]

43. I was (mostly) just teasing

but yes, it scared the shit out of me, and it isn't you, it is me and my severe abhorrence for roaches.

It's all good.

[Hekate]

58. Auwe! You need a rubbah slippah for that buggah, not a flyswattah

Get some powah in da stroke.

Cha and Kamaaina will understand.

[JackRiddler]

16. That's your takeaway?

That the real victim of this delusional asshole is... Obama?

More than one kind of derangement may be at work, yes.

[randys1]

31. this is ridiculous, i dont care about Obama being a victim, i am talking much bigger picture

never mind

i wont post in this thread again

i am out, you can find me in climate change threads from now on

[frylock]

18. are you fucking kidding?!

why bring this shit to a thread that has absolutely nothing to do with Obama?

[randys1]

19. It has EVERYTHING to do with Obama, this nut job alleges that the OBAMA ADMINISTRATION

in an effort to take his guns away orchestrated this false flag

has EVERYTHING to do with it

[Aerows]

23. Oh for heaven's sake

You brought that into this thread and now are trying to pretend you didn't. This was a horrible tragedy, the story is a horrible tragedy, and you are trying desperately to make it about President Obama so you can silence any person that dares to breathe a word of criticism, when there isn't even any criticism of the President in this thread.

Come on, now.

[randys1]

29. who in the WORLD are you talking to?

my god, someone said this act had nothing to do with Obama

we all agree it has EVERYTHING to do with him

just like

Bundy
ACA
IRS
Benghazi
and yes, CT about Newtown, it doesnt make me happy that we have INSANE FUCKS running around opposing anything and everything good just because Obama is somehow connected to whatever it is

it makes me real mad that AFTER newtown NOTHING could be done about guns, which is more about gun manufacturers willing to kill people for profits than it does to do with Obama, but the CONSPIRACY THEORY that NEWTOWN DIDNT HAPPEN , that theory DOES NOT EXIST IF ANYBODY ELSE IS PRESIDENT

a war has been declared against america by the american taliban, at every turn their rear their ugly, racist heads...

[Aerows]

32. Uh, I am seriously on the

WTF bus now.

[jeff47]

48. It's really not that hard to follow.

The conspiracy nuts believe the Obama administration is out to take away everyone's guns, and set up a fake mass shooting to do so.

No irrational hatred of Obama, no conspiracy theory.

[Aerows]

53. Okay, I never thought any of those things when I criticized him on his policies

But good for you, creating an interesting narrative.

Yes, everyone that has ever criticized an Obama Policy™ is a conspiracy nut, wants to take away everyone's guns (or maybe hand them out, I can't tell) and ...

You kind of lost me on that last one, but good for you! You have the gold medal for "reasons why people disagree with President Obama on policy." Please don't be upset that I mention that I dislike his tie, but really love his shoes.

[jeff47]

54. So you're claiming to be a conspiracy nut?

Yes, everyone that has ever criticized an Obama Policy™ is a conspiracy nut,

Nope. That's a claim you're inventing out of whole cloth.

These particular conspiracy nutcases believe in a particular conspiracy theory. That doesn't mean all critics believe in conspiracy theories.

Though you're doing a great job with the paranoid delusions and self-aggrandizement required.

[Aerows]

55. Fuck it, I'm still on a joy trip

because a DUer got married to his partner in ARKANSAS. That pretty much eclipses anything I was going to say!!!

Yay!!!!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024944049

[jeff47]

56. Yes, it's all about you

Nevermind that you were not mentioned until you showed up to claim it is about you.

[Aerows]

57. Now it is all about them

I hope that this will spread in the South.

[noiretextatique]

52. you are absolutely correct

these nuts claim the obama administration orchestrated a "hoax" in newtown. these people are not only insane, they are completely heartless. it's one think to believe their insanity about obama...it is quite another to harass grieving parents.

[frylock]

26. so it's more about guns then it is about Obama?

glad we could clear that up.

[Aerows]

33. I'm not sure if it is about guns or about throat lozenges

I'm pretty sure it could possibly be either a request for a recipe or a diatribe about gophers.

[Aerows]

24. Anything whatsoever

to make it seem like President Obama is being criticized so it can be screamed "Everybody unfairly hates him" to deflect from valid criticism.

I swear, this isn't the worst example I've seen of it, but it is close to it.

[frylock]

25. exactly, so if you oppose TPP, then you're just like this guy.

[Aerows]

30. I wonder what website

I have stumbled into some days. You are a voice of sanity. I'm beginning to think I am one, too, and that should frighten the hell out of both of us.

[frylock]

44. that thought does frighten me!

[Aerows]

45. Me too

Good GOD we are the woodchucks here.

[Blue_Tires]

46. I thought the truther "conspiracy" was all about Obama from the start?

That he concocted the whole tragedy with Hollywood effects to sway congress and public opinion in favor sweeping gun confiscation?? (or to distract the public from Benghazi or some other scandal?)

I've seen a few 'variations' of the conspiracy from the Alex Jones crowd and other unsavory parts of the internet, but that is the common theme in all of them...

[jeff47]

47. It has everything to do with Obama.

The conspiracy theory is the Obama administration is out to take away everyone's guns. So they set up a fake mass shooting in order to do so.

No irrational hatred for Obama, and Democrats in general, and there is no conspiracy theory.

[RKP5637]

2. Often it seems we need the state mental health facilities back. n/t

[hrmjustin]

37. Can't stop can you?

[TreasonousBastard]

3. And here's another one for whom...

no punishment could be enough. Just how much of an inhuman scumbag do you have to be to tell a woman her daughter is a lie?

Is the NSA now putting stuff in the water?

[Initech]

10. "Inhuman scumbag" is putting it lightly.

Believe me I have far worse things I could say about this creep but I choose not to.

[grilled onions]

4. Heartless

ignorant...hateful...an all around fool

[aquart]

5. See, guns don't kill people. That's just your sick, liberal imagination.

I'm going to sit in a corner repeating the mantra: Democracy means everyone has the right to speak up.

[DetlefK]

6. I do hope, he ends up in a lunatic asylum.

[Nay]

60. See, back in the day, this is exactly what would have happened to raving

lunatics like this who stole such a sign. They would be recognized as mentally ill and given several months of therapy and meds to straighten them out. If they continued with such delusions, they wouldn't be let out.

Now they get a gig on Fox.

[hobbit709]

7. If she had lost it and killed him, I would call that doing a public service.

[Swede Atlanta]

51. I would call it "self defense".....

Defending herself and society from a deranged asshole whose life functions need to be terminated.

I am not a violent person and don't advocate violence but there are times when I say (as I learned here in the south), "he needed killin"....never intending any actual harm to the person.

[hlthe2b]

8. this is what NRA and its enablers have brought forth....

Yet the crickets we hear from the majority of supposed "responsible" gun owners--rather than denouncing the limitless tactics of NRA and other pro-gun groups when using these guns to intimidate or break the law (as in Nevada and Utah) or to decimate these grieving families with their insane conspiracies-- leaves me aghast and overflowing with contempt.

[onehandle]

9. Gun culture is the anchor that is dragging America to the bottom. nt

[RKP5637]

41. Definitely! It's stupid and dangerous! n/t

[Cooley Hurd]

11. Recommended for exposure. ..

[Xithras]

13. I spent about 30 minutes perusing some Sandy Hook "truther" sites about a month ago.

After watching some of their Youtube videos and reading some of their screeds, I was left with the inescapable conclusion that most of these "truthers" suffer from mental health issues. I sadly had to watch a friend decline into a world of paranoid schizophrenia about 15 years ago (severe enough that he's permanently institutionalized today), and most of these rants genuinely reminded me of many of the earlier delusions he experienced before his disease completely disconnected him from society. The Sandy Hook truthers use guns as a cover, but the real story is this pervasive fear that winds through their theories, constantly reiterating that someone is out to get them.

Ironically enough, these are EXACTLY the kinds of people we need to take guns away from. I'm not anti-2A, but the mentally unstable shouldn't be armed and loaded for bear.

[MineralMan]

14. What a Sick, Delusional Moron!

That's all I can say.

[postulater]

17. Take the guy's gun and tell him it never existed.

Let him figure it out while sitting in a nice safe government provided jail cell somewhere.

[kentauros]

38. Best solution yet!

Although, I'd say he does belong in a mental institution. As has been analyzed on this thread, these truthers need mental health therapy.

[arcane1]

20. How do these idiots explain the complete ABSENCE of "gun-grabbing"

Fucking morons

[jeff47]

50. These idiots think they stopped it.

The conspiracy was all set to go, but then these "patriots" discovered the plans. By revealing the plans, they stopped the gun confiscation.

[Jefferson23]

21. Because they have not endured enough, sigh. n/t

[TeamPooka]

22. Say it to my face truther instead of hiding behind a phone. I dare you.

[hack89]

27. The explosion of CTs is one really bad things about the internet

911 Truthers, Birthers, Anti-vaxxers, chemtrails, etc etc - the internet amplifies everything whether it be true or false, important or trivial. It sometimes makes me question my confidence in the rationality of the American public.

[pipi_k]

28. Someone above me made

a good point...that anybody who would say such things is obviously not dealing from a full deck.

Serious mental illness is likely at play here. No "normal" person would say those things.

So when someone crawls out of the woodwork to say horrible shit like that, what's the first thing people do?

They call the mentally ill person (who didn't even commit a crime, for crissakes!) a "scumbag" and declare that there's no punishment bad enough for him or her.

I have a sister who says some inappropriate/shitty things all the time. She's not evil. She's not a "scumbag". She has a mental/emotional problem.


Yeah. Mentally ill people maybe should be put in jail or something because they can't control their thoughts and their mouths.

Awesome.

[Warren DeMontague]

34. Thanks again, Alex Jones.

You shit.

[Behind the Aegis]

40. Oh you!

So understated.

[LeftishBrit]

39. How vile. There are really no words.

[BainsBane]

49. Not only does he think his guns more important than that child's life

His guns require robbing the mother of her memory of her slain child. This is the world where people think they can create their own version of truth. Cable news channels like Fox have taught them such unrealities are acceptable.

[Hekate]

59. What hideous and inexplicable cruelty. I am so sorry for Grace's family.

[sagat]

61. Conspiracy theorists are, without exception, wastemen.

[Ed Suspicious]

62. Good fucking lord.

[Blue Owl]

64. Most disturbing
