Adam Lanza could feel no pain. Explain anything?

The young man who killed 20 children and six adults at a Connecticut elementary school Friday suffered from a condition where he could literally feel no pain, according to a faculty member at his old high school.
Richard Novia, the advisor for the tech club at Newton High, said that if Adam Lanza cut or hurt himself, "he would not know it or feel it."

This sounds like just the kind of person who should get a handgun or five. Republican utopia would be nigh if all of these kinds of people were armed!

Don't take one person's OPINION as fact.
The MSM is digging and everyone and their brother even remotely associated is being interviewed.
They even found a babysitter who ONCE babysitted over 11 years ago and got his opinion.

Seriously. If a child could "feel no pain" do you think they would make to 20 years old with no medical verification to back that up ?

There are definitely conditions that include very high tolerance to pain. That is a fact. Whether Lanza was affected by that or not, I have no idea. Regardless, the mental health services in this country are a joke as are the resources (or lack thereof) available to families dealing with mentally ill loved ones.

It has not been verified that he had a record mental health issues.
So far it's just speculation and opinions.

Yes. Until the case is closed there is no point in speculating.

It's pretty obvious he had mental health issues, or do you disagree?

After the fact hindsight is 20/20.
I'll wait for police reports to get my news, not opinions from anyone who had anything to do with the family for the past 20 years that the press are so eager to interview.

It's one thing to speculate and another to be in Congress proposing "solutions" don't you think ?

Sounds like the guy from the movie "Kick Ass"

I wonder if he got this idea to kill children from the last Star Wars movie where Anikan Skywalker went to the pre-school and killed all the "younglings" with his light saber before turning into Darth Vader?
