Inside sick mind of Sandy Hook killer
Sandy Hook mass murderer Adam Lanza bragged about his “scorn for humanity” while touting pedophilia and claiming he would be a “phenomenal father,” according to newly released personal documents.
The papers shed more deeply troubling light on the 20-yearold fiend’s mindset before he fatally shot his mother and then killed 20 children and six teachers at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., on Dec. 14, 2012.
Lanza killed himself after the carnage.
“I incessantly have nothing other than scorn for humanity,” Lanza wrote in an undated online message to a fellow gamer, according to the Hartford Courant, which obtained the documents from the Connecticut State Police after a lawsuit.
“I have been desperate to feel anything positive for someone for my entire life,’’ he said.
Lanza spent much of his time locked in his room playing violent video games but apparently found kinship among a few likeminded sickos online.
“Most of my social contact was through those players,” Lanza wrote to the fellow gamer.
“All of them are typical detestable human beings, and it bred an aura of innumerable negative emotions for me. You were a respite from that.
“Early on, you referenced serial killing multiple times in ways people normally don’t. That immediately appealed to me.”
Despite his love of serial killers and his apparent hatred for children, Lanza wrote that he would be a “phenomenal father” because he would encourage them the think freely.
Personal documents from Lanza’s home computer and medical reports — both released by Connecticut police — show that Lanza was primed to kill.
His deteriorated mental health, obsession with violence and access to his mother’s guns “proved a recipe for mass murder,” concluded a report by Connecticut’s Office of Child Advocate.
Lanza showed signs of trouble at a young age.
His linguistic skills were delayed early, and while his reading comprehension eventually improved, he never displayed a “grasp of empathy for characters motives, feelings or perspectives,” the report said.
Lanza’s troubled mental state loomed over his own creative endeavors, too.
He wrote a violent book in fifth grade that described harming children, and he was also working on a screenplay called “Lovebound” that centered on “the beauty in the romantic relationship between a 10-year-old boy and a 30-year-old man.”
Lanza claimed he was “molested at least a dozen times” by doctors during genital exams, all with his parents’ knowledge.
“I don’t see how I and every child was not raped by doctors: We did not consent to it. We only did it because our parents made us,” he wrote.
