Default Florida college Professor calls the murders at Sandy Hook a hoax!

This nut job claims what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School a hoax! He has even contacted the parents who lost a child there, to prove that their child actually existed and was killed there. When parents won't comply to such a stupid request, he belittles them in his blog. Here is what happened when he contacted one of the parents-

"Last week, the parents of of one child, Lenny and Veronique Pozner, wrote an opinion piece in the Sun-Sentinel which began, “It’s been three years since we last embraced our precious little boy, Noah. At six-years-old, he was the youngest child murdered at the Sandy Hook Elementary School. …
“The heartache of burying a child is a sorrow we would not wish upon anyone. Yet to our horror, we have found that there are some in this society who lack empathy for the suffering of others. Among them are the conspiracy theorists that deny our tragedy was real. They seek us out and accuse us of being government agents who are faking our grief and lying about our loss.”


"Among the conspiracy theorists — and they mention Republican candidate Donald Trump’s “rantings on the Alex Jones radio show” — one who got widespread attention was Florida Atlantic University professor James Tracy.
“Tracy even sent us a certified letter demanding proof that Noah once lived, that we were his parents, and that we were the rightful owner of his photographic image. We found this so outrageous and unsettling that we filed a police report for harassment. Once Tracy realized we would not respond, he subjected us to ridicule and contempt on his blog, boasting to his readers that the “unfulfilled request” was “noteworthy” because we had used copyright claims to “thwart continued research of the Sandy Hook massacre event.”


At least the university is moving to fire this jackass! If I had lost a child there, and he contacted me like that, I would suggest to him that we meet somewhere, to continue this conversation in person,lol

Sadly it's quite a popular theory amongst certain people that Sandy Hook was a hoax in order to advance an anti-gun agenda.

The terms jet fuel and steel beams comes to mind.

Ugh, how could anyone perpetrate a hoax like this? It would be impossible, even Houdini couldn't pull it off. I'm very sorry there are people who buy into this type of stuff.

Surely there must be something the authorities can do to people like this, causing distress and harassment or something along those lines at least

Probably not.

I agree Jim, wish there was something the authorities could do. In the article I linked to about this, there is a link to his blog on Facebook. I couldn't read all of the rubbish he put up there, but it was fun to read the replies to it! I didn't think folks could get away with so much profanity on FB!

I view it as FELONY TERRORIZING, it falls into the same category as those morons who disrupt soldier families funerals to call the dead soldiers murderers for just being soldiers killed in the line of duty.

as for the attempt to link this to trump, that is bogus stretch to the extreme of infinity. just because trump allows himself to be interviewed by someone, that in no way means he is even aware of or agrees with the all views, statements, or beliefs of that person, so lets just drop the over reaching political mud slinging in all this.

Rig his phone to reach a constant busy signal when he dials 911 to report his ass kicking.

It's sad the families of those lost at Sandy Hook have to deal with all this , especially at this time of the year. I doubt the parents will ever be able to enjoy an Xmas as their lost child will forever remain just that , an innocent young child taken away at a young age.

I wish them all strength in dealing with this.

Maybe a "Blanket Party" the SOB would change his attitude.

It's so-called "academics" like this idiot professor who make me wonder about the quality of university and college education in the US. Having gone through the 60s and 70s, I am well familiar with the sort of dribble spouting from some of the professors and instructors in colleges. Back then, it was leftie sort of dribble; now, I guess, it is the pendulum swing and the righties are showing, even with a PhD, idiots are idiots. There are rather a few sad aspects to this story: there is of course the deep sadness of the families of the victims and the survivors and their families having to deal with the sort of slime as those who wish to inflict even more misery on those who have suffered so much. It is sad these who are being re-victimized have so little to no recourse to stop or even attenuate the actions of the loons. It is sad persons such as this professor can't be dealt with summarily by the colleges because of the unreasonable strictures of things such as tenure, unions, and the fear of litigation. This piece of crap professor will probably be fired, but he will probably sue for "wrongful termination", have his union back him up, find some headline seeking lawyer to press his case, and, in the end, probably settle with the university for a big payday; and it will be a big payday, since the university is part of the Florida State university system, and the state taxpayers will get to enjoy the fact their taxes will pay for the professor's retirement nest egg...

I would really like to see some of those high profile lawyers who seem to pop up to defend the worst of the world have a bit of compassion and use their wiles to fashion some sort of action against the professor and others of his ilk and make them suffer; in the end, no matter how much those idiots like the professor might suffer from tasting a bit of their own medicine, it will be a suffering far, far less than that of a parent who has lost a child to senseless, random violence...

"Certain people". That's a not so nice way of smearing millions of people because of the rantings of a single nut who as far as I can tell has nothing to do with the RKBA debate one way or the other.

Are you saying that there are millions of conspiratorial nutjobs?

I guess that there's certainly more than one:
