Obama did it to incite public anger over guns which would lead to revival of the assault weapons ban and/or other gun control.

They've been talking since 2009 about Obama perpetrating a "Reichstag fire" in order to steal people's guns.

14. Fox is stuck on the broken record called Benghazi

They are too traumatized about the deaths of a couple CIA contractors to give a crap about six year olds being slaughtered in CT. I give this story about 1.5 days on FOX until they get back to the Benghazi "outrage".

I know you will all dismiss me as the crazy girl on your friends list. But I want you to keep in the back of your mind that we have had the technology to control people's minds for many years. The three mass shootings in the last two weeks have been eerily similar and all three gunmen died (by their own hand supposedly) before they could be questioned. Like the shooting at the Batman premiere, I would expect the details will be swept under the rug. And already, every news agency is screaming for Gun Control! Like gun control would stop such things from happening. If someone is a nutcase and intends to kill a bunch of people to make their point not having a gun is not going to stop them. And the damn media doesn't even bother to wait for the "facts" they just start screaming death tolls and posting quotes from traumatized family members. Something is wrong here people, terribly wrong. My heart and prayers go out to the family's who have been devastated. But I'm even more furious to consider the possibility that these horrors have been created by those with an agenda....

I have been putting up with her conspiracy crap for a long time, but it is time to defriend I think. She also thinks hurriane sandy was manufactured.
