Yes I do actually have a child that goes to Sandy Hook School, but instead of ranking or comparing the impact that horrific day had on us and the community, let's focus on condemning the actions of this vile person for making threats. Unfortunately in our polarized society now there is this quick reaction to vilify the media versus speaking out against the actual wrongdoing. The Bee was doing the best they could to report on what was unfolding which we are fortunate enough to have in our town.
The Bee is now categorized as social media. That explains why the disinformation. Reported by schools and superintendent?? Calling the Bee is not their priority, especially in this type of situation. Do you have children or grandchildren in Sandy Hook? Did you experience the horrific day of December 14, 2012 personally? I did and do. Debating an over zealous choice of words was once know as healthy debate. Today you are cancelled because it doesn’t fit your narrative. You can try, but won’t succeed. Bless your heart!
People need to cut back on coffee and stay off social media if they are that sensitive or triggered based on a debatable arrant word choice. The Bee was trying to keep the community aware of a breaking situation as it was unfolding and was reporting based on what was being communicated by the superintendent and schools. They have also since apologized for any panic caused.
