That is awful.
That's messed up. One thing is having lunatic ideas, another is to harass people.

I believe in freedom of expression even for lunatics like Tracy but I think people need to use it wisely for their own good. It doesn't take much for an employer to fire you.

Sometimes people gets so obsessed with a cause, they lose objectivity. Was it really worth it? What did he achieve? What is he gonna do now? Work for Infowars?

I believe that Sandy Hook happened. I just wonder why no one will answer some of the legitimate questions that were raised? It seems if the government wanted to put it to rest, they would answer the questions.

I'm curious - which of his questions were legitimate, in your mind? The ones I've seen all seemed like he was really stretching to make a political point.

And don't confuse "freedom of speech" with "freedom of action."
Harassing murdered children's parents is an action.

Before you speak about something you should learn what it is.

Only the government can infringe on free speech. You are welcome to kick anyone visiting your home out if they start talking about something you do not like.

To play devils advocate, Florida Atlantic University is not a private university.

I haven't read his questions. I have seen a newspaper story about Sandy Hook closing in 2008 and a story about the internet to the school being shut off, also in 2008, four years before the shooting. I'm sure there are reasons for this, but I wonder why they have not been addressed.

Are you saying Florida Atlantic University is a government organization?

It is.


Florida Atlantic University is governed by a thirteen member board of trustees, six of whom are appointed by the governor, five by the Board of Governors plus the student body president and the president of the University Faculty Senate. The gubernatorial and Board of Governors appointees must be confirmed by the Florida Senate.
