If the family had not claimed the body, it would have likely also made the news. It is what it is. None of us really knows what went on in that household in the years leading up to the divorce and none of us is immune to really terrible life events. We just comfort ourselves with the thought that we are.

We all understand that our faces are totally different; no one looks like me and no one looks like you. Our brains are as different as our faces. We all think differently, have totally different intelligence and totally different aptitudes. We have very different compassion and empathy levels. We just simply are as different as our faces. To “cookie cutter diagnosis” as Asperger's or Autism or Bipolar or whatever, is not to take in consideration that one size does not fit all. There is a maturity that happens to our brains in the very late teens and early twenties, depending on if you are a woman or a man; your frontal lobe grows to a true adult. What seems to be common is that they are all young men in very late teens and early twenties and there diagnosis is a guess at best, because that often changes, because you can not cookie cutter someone’s brain. I like this analogy: I can “see” that you can not “see” because I can “see” your eye glasses. You can not “see” that I am deaf, therefore you can not understand that I need you to speak clearly and louder so I can hear you. What you can “see” is something you can grasp, what you can not “see” is very hard for most people to grasp. Do you really know what anyone is thinking?!?!?!? I am sure that Adam Lanza never showed any signs of violence and that is why his father and brother are so shocked over all of this. DO NOT judge someone until you have seriously walked in their life!!!

The father did not buy the guns, teach him to shoot, screw up his head, or have any way to know this would happen or prevent it. He is however burying his son...any one that would would pursue a cold hearted tact toward this man is possessed by the same evil as that which killed those children.

Take Lanza's body out to an NRA range where we can practice SHOOTING THE BAD GUY... 100 Points for a headshot and 10,000 for a heart shot... since on Lanza finding a HEART to shoot at would be a trick for even the best Rifleman... Then drag the remains to a public square where people could deficate on the blob that remains... No thats how it should be done...

Burying someone shows respect... to get respect one must earn it... killing kids is the most reprehnsable act ever... along unarmed parents and teachers is the act of a coward... For which no respect should be given... as non was earned... Lanza was a Left Wing Loony Communist... No More and No Less

He has been laid to rest, now put it to rest. We need to concentrate on the survivors of this tragedy, helping them to somehow overcome and have as normal a life as is humanly possible after this devastation.

It's good to see the father finally take responsibility for something related to his son.

My condolences to the Lanza Family. They are victims of this tragedy, too and they need prayers and empathy, not disdain. I can't imagine how they are going to live with what happened. The guilt and shame they must be feeling is tremendous and won't go away. Adam was mentally ill and that's not an excuse, just a very sad fact. But for the grace of God, go the rest of us.

Peace and God's blessings to all this day.

As for his father... He is not the guilty party... and does not deserve the wrath of anyone...

Throw him in the same ocean that bin laden was thrown in. I dont see a difference between the two.

Satan claimed his body, and he's taking Adam home with him>>>

Frustrated mother or not, it sounds like he and the mother had some kind of sick, twisted relationship. Pressuring him to excel intellectually as though that will somehow fix or override mental health issues without other interests and balance in his life (crippling social anxiety and not integrating) is like being a prisoner in your own skin. I know what that's like without any extreme measures. Even belated counseling is no overnight process but it is self-liberating.

Better hold your hatrid here a bit folks. Information is about to be disclosed that will prove this was a false flag and that there are government forces behind this. You better start doing some research because there is PROOF evidence this was all done by our government and these children and teacher were killed because of political reasons. The evidence is gathered and is being made public. Better hold of on your hatrid until you get the right criminal.

Dont like this concept, do your own research and quit listening to the blame stream media

What he did was horrible and everyone has a right to express their feelings of grief and so we shouldn’t be offended by any opinion expressed. I feel for the families of the victims which includes Adam Lanza’s family.

IN all of this, while we spew out rage, anger grief etc, I hope we are paying attention to our children, their immediate environment, their access to weapons, their state of mind etc. I am sure none of us wants to be like the families of Adams lanza/Jared Lee Lough­ner/ Eric Har­ris and Dylan Kle­bold/ Seung-hui Cho(Virginia tech)- the list is endless. So I hope we all look into the mirror and take a good look at ourselves, better yet turn around and look at our children.

he should have claimed them ,then use a real end loader GARBAGETRUCK as the hearse & take him to the dump for a proper burial or cremation at the waste incinerator, or just FLUSH his ASHES DOWN THE TOILET BOWL

I am sorry for the family as they did not tell him to go and do this horrific act and now must live with the consequences of their sons behavior, always wondering if they could have done something to prevent this tragedy or to intervene and knowing all of that speculation is useless. I am certainly angry at the killer but also understand he was clearly mentally ill. No one in their right mind would do such a horrible act. I pray for his Dad and hope we learn that assault weapons have no place in our society other than in the hands of the military and properly trained personnel. I doubt the NRA will allow that but hope for it anyway.

Decapitate his body and $hit down his neck before you bury his evil ass.

i don't think a mentally ill person can put a weapon of that type together or even know how to use it. most mentally ill people have a hard enough time keeping their behind clean..................these people committing these crimes, especially planning a crime, must have something else gone haywire.........first thing that come to my mind is drugs...........just thinking.

Isolation, for any reason, eventually takes its toll. Was being that private about appearances and pretenses (where the neighbors were concerned) more important than FINALLY getting her son help? The father's concern and regard for the victims and their families is admirable however, whenever a parent (in front of cameras) maintains that they 'had no idea' is absurd. Unless a parent is completely absent from a child's life and the is no communication whatsoever between the parents about their children, it's unlikely the father was as clueless as he claims. That kid probably had problems early on and it wasn't effectively dealt with by either parent.

I read the comments with utter horror. Have you folks grown so hateful that you would turn on the father as he has to deal with the loss of his son AND what his son did? Most of you are not parents, it is obvious by your comments. But the rest of you that are should be ashamed! Yeah, I can understand the pain that the parents carried while they identified thier dead children. No parent wants to bury their kid. But this boyy was a child once too. I will not place him in the same box as the victims, but in the end, a father will bury his son. AND Carry the shame for what he did. I hope none of you ever has to go thru what he is going thru, because if there is Karma out there, then you are in for a rude awakening! Quit asking where God was, and start asking where you were. Start looking at YOUR kids with some compassion and know, in the back of your mind...There but for the grace of GOD go I.

Christians are supposed to forgive those who have done wrong. In this case I find it difficult and can understand all of the hatred directed towards this "monster". Let the Lord deal with him.

As terrible as I feel for the kids I feel even worse for the school admin folks who lost their lives while not able to do anything in saving the kids or themselves..Imagine having to spend eternity wondering, woulda,shoulda,coulda..

If the Westboro Baptist Church (Cult) want's to protest any funerals, I don't think many people would object to this one.

Funerals are for the living, not the dead. The best of families can have a family member go off the deep end. I feel for the father. I doubt the father is going to have a great elaborate service.

First thing: Let me say how appalled and saddened I was and am over the deaths of these innocent victims, mostly of whom were children. Nevertheless, I am appalled at some of the comments here. First of all, obviously this individual (Adam) was a very sick person. The saddest of all things, is the lack of help available to families with these problem family members. I have seen it time and time again. Not a lot of support. But regardless, this was a son of a man who had nothing to do with any of this and was as blindsided by the events as anyone else, as was Adam's brother, Ryan. Our prayers should include the father and brother. They lost a son and brother (and in addition, Ryan lost a mother, don't forget).... and in addition to their loss,they carry the burden of bearing that relationship to him. They deserve our support and condolences as much as any one as they too are victims. Why is it that we can't seem to separate the various parties of a crime or despicable act by one indiviudal without shoveling the coals of hell on the family members, who are suffering as well? I cannot imagine living life under this cloud of darkness forever - can you? Even the mother - we will never know what took place that morning. But is it possible that somehow Adam stole the key to a gun safe (if there was one) and blindsided her too? How quickly we comment about things we don't know and will never know! As to the burial of Adam, even one that receives the death sentence and is executed in our prison system is allowed a burial by family members, if chosen. And if the family doesn't claim the body and bury them, I believe the prison system has a means for doing so. THIS IS WHAT SEPARATES US FROM THE BARBARIC. I am more and more disenchanted with the mindset of the people in this country - we are so quick to victimize, persecute, and any other adjective one can think of - without giving any thought to what is coming out of our mouths or keyboard. We have lost our way.

Mom screwed up the kid,dad couldn't take it.Let him take the corpse of this devil and be done with it.Feel bad for him,that his ex didn't LOCK UP HER GUNS!
