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 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.

1. I would honestly be tempted to PUNCH this guy if I'd been there.

That's just fucking cruel. I'm sorry.

11. Only tempted?

2. Trace the call

then put up camera's to catch him if he does it again.

3. The truther later released this video explaining everything

His friend also released a video in his defense

4. That guy is pond scum

He needs to be punched in the face.

5. Who's going to lay this

at the doorstep of Alex Jones, and the other professional conspiracists, where it belongs?

These loons are everywhere, mocking the parents, screeching that it was all a hoax to make guns look deadly or something.

Big giant lies actually matter.

6. So much pathological craziness surrounding guns in this country ...

I despair for the USA. I think we're circling the drain.

12. My 24 year old son, who is currently single...

...would be likely to agree with you. He told me just yesterday (in his Happy Mother's Day phone call) that he is seriously re-considering ever having children, because he thinks that many of the attitudes in the US are destructive enough that this is no longer a good place to raise children.

He speaks admiringly of the mandatory voting and strong gun control enacted in Australia.

13. My son wants to emigrate to Canada.

He is a teen so I hope he can make a new life in a better country, even though selfishly I'd like him to live next to me for the rest of my life.

Another reason to rethink having children -- global warming. I just don't know about bringing kids into this world anymore. There has always been trouble, war, disease, etc., but global warming seems like a whole different ballgame.

7. The legacy of the John Birch society plus the internet equals Alex Jones and these crazies

The psychology of those who buy into all of these conspiracies, anti-vax, Sandy Hook truthism, Chem trails, HAARP, Bilderberg, etc., has to be interesting.

Its almost a pathological need to believe that you have information that no one else has and you are being persecuted for it, although no one ever shows up to arrest you and put you in a FEMA camp.

8. The scum must listen to Alex Jones.

10. I guess the Boston bombings were a hoax too, so the gov't can confiscate our rice-cookers

Just when I think I can't be surprised by how fucking stupid some people can be, someone comes along and surprises me. Every time.

14. Gun Worship breeds a weird rationals

Yes it's them.

[liberalhistorian]

15. There are no words for just how much

I hate these people, and what they do to others and what they've done to this nation. I am not against guns. I am against gun nuttery, which is what this country seems to be obsessed with, even otherwise reasonable people.
