"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I heard one report that Adam Lanza has asperger's (or related). I know asperger's is supposed to fall out of favor as a diagnosis, just repeating something I think I read on the AP stream.

Without a lock on the door, the school’s lead teacher pressed her body against the door to hold it shut, Ms. Day said. That teacher was shot through the door in the leg and arm.
As Fred Rogers' mom said, "Look for the helpers."

Autistic spectrum disorders are no longer separated in the DSM V. Which is pants, for the record.

Oh jeez, it's so sad and traumatic for Ryan Lanza. His brother kills off his whole family and he gets blamed for it.
This is why speculation in front of the facts is not good.

I am not a news organization. I am not disseminating the information to the world at large. I am talking about it to a closed circle of friends.
There's a difference.

There's a difference.
The desire of the individual to have information before there is information to be had drives the news organizations. If there wasn't an audience for speculation, they wouldn't be reporting ahead of the facts.
So, no. There's not.

(I do understand the impulse, to be clear. People want to know and understand something not understandable. I still think that at all levels it does more harm than good.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm sorry, but "audience for speculation" is a specious bit of bullshit.
The word for that is "curiosity." That's not what's wrong with the news cycle.
So, no. There's not.
I disagree. There's a huge difference between the responsibility for a news organization to have all the facts confirmed before making a report and people discussing what may or may not have happened.
There is absolutely no negative impact to inquiring, and the implication that it's some kind of morbid impulse in baseless gossip is pretty far from my desire to get a handle on it.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
FTR, I totally get what you are saying, Plei. I think without actually sensible, confirmed information, it is all speculative and sort of kneejerky.
Anyone hear from ita?
