The Hartford Courant is reporting on the word of unspecified sources apparently involved in the police investigation that the Sandy Hook school shooter was in fact motivated by a spirit of rivalry with other mass murderers.
Where have I heard that idea, now confirmed as fact? Where did I hear it first?
Oh, yes, I remember. In the hours after the shootings, this is the view of the matter that became affixed to the name "Morgan Freeman." It seems to have disappeared from discussion after Freeman himself disowned it.
Let us at least learn a lesson here about the invalidity of discrediting any argument by virtue of where it does or doesn't come from.
