TPM: Pro-Gun "Sandy Hook Truther" conspiracy theory used to defend San B terrorists

Finally, 2nd Amendment fanatics have found a common cause with ISIS. I suppose it was inevitable that NRA-type paranoia would eventually come around to being used to defend religious extremist terrorism. They share common goals, after all: destablizing society, iron-fisted governance, silencing those who believe in personal liberties for all, hiding their war on modern civility by wrapping their message in a flag of "traditional values."

[font size="4"]Lawyer For San Bernardino Gunman's Family Floats Sandy Hook Trutherism[/font]

A lawyer for the family of suspected San Bernardino gunman Syed Rizwan Farook floated skepticism about the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary shooting in his efforts to cast doubt on early police findings about the massacre at a county holiday party that left 14 dead this week.

Appearing alongside attorney Mohammad Abuershaid, David Chesley said there were “a lot of questions” in the wake of the Newtown, Connecticut shooting, where 20 children and 6 adults were killed. Abuershaid and Chesley have been identified as attorneys representing the Farook family.

“There was a lot of questions drawn with regards to Sandy Hook and whether or not that was a real incident or not. We just don't know,” Chesley said, in video published Friday by British tabloid The Daily Mail.

The Mail reported that Chesley, asked directly if he questioned the attack at Sandy Hook, said: “There has been a lot [sic] speculation about it is all I would say.”
