That medical examiner is just creepy and what is up with that parent smiling and laughing then totally changing character once he's on camera? For someone that just lost his daughter he shouldn't have to try to look sad ???
I didn't watch the video, but for one thing people grieve in different ways. He's going through a very traumatic event and his emotions are going to take him on one hell of an ugly roller coaster (which is psychologically natural in a traumatic event). You're not in his shoes. Let the man grieve in the way he chooses.
Was the sandy hook shooting real? Yes. If the next question absolutely must be the 5th grade question "Oh yeah? Well, how do you know?", then my 5th grade response would be "I know people from that area."
Unfortunately what's becoming a norm after traumatic events is people coming up with these conspiracy theories and posting them online. Millions of people watching them and actually believing them. Is it their right? Absolutely. But for Pete's sake leave these grieving people alone.
You should probably watch the video then before assuming you know what I'm talking about
I didn't mean my statement to be combative, so I apologize if it came off that way.
However, I did watch and my argument still stands-the man's going through an emotional roller coaster. We can't isolate an act/action and say "well why isn't he sadder?"
Let me give you an example. A couple of years ago, one of my aunt's passed away. It's custom in my family (not sure if this is an "Italian" thing or it's just something my family does) to have two days of wakes-where the body is embalmed and displayed for family/friends to pray over the deceased-and then the third day is the funeral mass and burial.
During the wakes, my cousin Lori was calm and collected. She seemed ok, and was able to crack a smile and a few laughs at dinner.
It wasn't until the burial where it hit her, and she-quite literally-had a emotional breakdown. As my aunt was being lowered into the ground, my cousin Lori started yelling/sobbing "But she's never coming back!" She wouldn't eat anything or sleep for 2-3 days.
There's a few psychological explanations for this. Much like physiological shock-where someone gets into an accident, feels no pain at first, and then hours later has neck and back pain-the same can happen psychologically after a traumatic event. Or it could be post traumatic stress disorder. While both have very similar attributes, they do have their differences-but I won't get into that now.
So given this, it's quite unfair to take one interview from this guy and say "Something's wrong. He's not sad enough", much like it's unfair to take my cousin Lori's laughter at dinner as "Something's wrong. She's not sad enough."
The rest of the video is a little creepy, and does make you think. I won't debate that (at least not on a public forum). But you can't take a grieving man and use an isolated event as an example.
