Sandy Hook Hoax Debunking
Part 2
This is a comprehensive debunking of claims by Sandy Hook "hoaxers" as researched by Sandy Hook Expert Mike Flagg. The Sandy Hook massacre took place December 14, 2014 in a village of Newtown, Connecticut. Subsequent to that horrific shooting, Sandy Hook Hoax was created by Youtubers and Bloggers. Sandy Hook Hoax is a fiction, a fabricated "event" contrived by conspiracy theorists using 'photoshopped' images, fraudulent evidence, and carefully snipped video presented to paint the Sandy Hook Massacre as a "False Flag' operation. -- C.W. Wade
Part I of Michael Flagg's Debunking can be found here:

- "Seized from suspect’s car in parking lot:
- From CFS 1200704559\Book 6\00258036.pdf, page 3 of Officer Leonard Penna's interview: "Shortly after I went back outside to the front of the building and looked through the inside of the suspect vehicle. I then observed a long gun on the floor of the back seat. I removed the long gun with a loose magazine and placed it into the trunk of the vehicle to secure it." https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3-vhpZ_3PTLYnNzZ2ZUTlhwR2c/edit?usp=sharing

20. Children evacuating/being escorted from Sandy Hook Elementary School.
- The following documents mention children being escorted from the school.

- While children evacuating/being escorted from the school are redacted in the dash camera recordings, there are some photos.
21. The claim that we were lied about when school evacuation times were, via the final report timeline, due to the dash camera recordings not matching up.
- From CFS 1200704559\Book 4\00184096.pdf, page 1 of 1 (going by the page number on the document): "The times depicted for the State Police dash cameras is correct on the timeline and different from the actual dash cam report. (Refer to supplemental report regarding this discrepancy)" https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3-vhpZ_3PTLWkFPVkdBaDNMekk/edit?usp=sharing
- From CFS 1200704559\Book 4\00184096.pdf, page 1 (going by the page number on the document): "The programmed times on several mobile video recorders were found to have been set incorrectly. For the purpose of this summary, those times have been corrected to reflect the actual time as determined by utilizing accurately documented communications from the dispatch center and now correlate with the times of the dispatch centers and properly set mobile video recorders." https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3-vhpZ_3PTLWkFPVkdBaDNMekk/edit?usp=sharing
- "The video actually matches very well with the timeline, if you add 1 minute and 20 seconds to the time shown on the cop car's dashcam. The timeline would have been constructed by synchronizing all the sources to the correct time (which is on the dispatcher's tape)." http://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/1zprpi/they_lied_sandy_hook_police_dash_cam_video_does/cfw7t10 (Archive: https://archive.today/9CWw1)
- PDF
file, Newtown Police Response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School
Shooting..., refers to dash camera recordings from Newtown Police
Department (which the times correlate with the final report timeline),
not the State Police dash camera recordings that were released with the
final report.

- Scott Getzinger, a property master for The Dark Knight Rises: www.imdb.com/name/nm0004050 (Archive: https://archive.today/YoRxy), put Sandy Hook on the map.
- "Susan believes that, like many prop masters, he put in part of his town for something that his kids might find to be cool. We will never know his thoughts on the map now." http://revelationnow.net/2013/03/24/scott-getzinger-tragedy-hand-of-god (Archive: https://archive.today/Lhtgw)
- "Susan Getzinger: I haven’t seen the movie Batman yet and my husband never told me the ending of anything (they are under strict confidentiality with hiring contracts, etc…) but it is COMMON practice for props guys especially to put cool family/neighborhood things in films as a cool fluke for their kids, etc…
29. The claim that Dr. H. Wayne Carver, Chief Medical Examiner, supported Bill 1045.
- Raised Bill No. 1045, An Act Concerning the Disclosure of Autopsy Reports: http://www.cga.ct.gov/2011/JUDdata/Tmy/2011SB-01054-R000228-Dr.%20H,%20Wayne%20Carver,%20Chief%20Medical%20Examiner-TMY.PDF (Archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20140709202902/http://www.cga.ct.gov/2011/JUDdata/Tmy/2011SB-01054-R000228-Dr.%20H,%20Wayne%20Carver,%20Chief%20Medical%20Examiner-TMY.PDF)
- Wayne Carver is stating that he believes the current statue, regulations and practices already address the issues that are in the proposed Bill 1045, thus he does not support the bill, finding it redundant and unnecessary.
"I do however; believe that the current statutory and regulatory scheme covers the issues that I perceived to be addressed by the proposed legislation."
30. The claim that Lt. Paul Vance said that anyone who spreads misinformation about the Sandy Hook, December 14th shooting, will be prosecuted.
- From Lt. Vance's press
conference, he states: "There has been misinformation coming from people
posing as the shooter in this case, posing using other IDs, mimicking
this crime and crime scene and criminal activity that took place in this
community. There's been some things in somewhat of a threatening
manner."
"So any of that information and people that are putting that information up there, in any manner, alright, that can be construed as a violation of state or federal law, will be investigated and prosecuted." http://videos.huffingtonpost.com/miami/conn-police-warn-of-misinformation-about-shooting-517605625
- "Additionally, “anyone who harasses or threatens the victims, victims’ families or witnesses of these horrific crimes, or who, in any manner interferes with the ongoing state or federal investigations will be referred for state and/or federal prosecution to the fullest extent permitted by law. Harassment not only includes in-person contact, but also contact via the internet, social media, and telephone.” Social media includes, but is not limited to, Facebook, Blogs, YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest, and MySpace. Harassment or interfering includes, but is not limited to, making claims of your involvement in the crime or making claims that hinder the advancement of the investigation." http://www.ct.gov/despp/cwp/view.asp?A=4226&Q=515570 (Archive: https://archive.today/GDQSF)

32. In regard to Adam Lanza's AAA card and Ryan Lanza's AAA card.
- AL's AAA card: http://imgur.com/kCjH7gO.jpg
- Ryan's AAA card:
http://imgur.com/nncFrWA.jpg
http://imgur.com/zdiweR6.jpg (From https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYFHE3M6kq8)
- An email reply after contacting AAA Member Relations: "The first 3 digits are the company identifier number and the last digit is the computerized number associated with the membership number."
- AL's AAA card: 620 240 421600221 9
240 is the club code.
421600221 is the membership number.
9 is the computerized number associated with the membership number.
- Ryan's AAA card: 438 240 421600201 8
240 is the club code.
421600201 is the membership number.
8 is computerized number associated with the membership number.
- Both, AL and Ryan, have the same 240 club code, because 240 indicates the region of the card member. In this case, AAA Southern New England.
"Serving AAA Members in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Rhode Island*" http://www.aaa.com/aaa/240/sem/membership/index.html?zip=02021 (Archive: https://archive.today/Nqx8G)
Note the 240 in the URL.
Even if you have a whole family on the same account, the last 3 digits of the membership number will be different to denote each individual person. 221 for AL; 201 for Ryan.
33. The claim that AL had a kill-to-wounded ratio of 26:1 or 96.2% (or higher).
- 26:1 is actually 96.2963%, which rounds up to 96.3%: http://www.webmath.com/k8ratio.html
Hallway (4 adults)
2 wounded (survived)
2 dead
Room 8 (16 children, 2 adults):
1 child unharmed
15 children dead
2 adults dead
Room 10 (16 children, 2 adults):
11 children unharmed
5 children dead
2 adults dead
Just going by the numbers above, there were 40 people in AL's path. From those 40 people, 28 were shot, which is a 70% ratio (28 divided by 40 x 100). That is going by targets (40 people that could have been shot) and hits (28 people that were shot). Kill-to-wounded ratio is being used in a tactical sense, but this was a school shooting, not a war, and AL had the intention to shoot as many people as he could. After all, AL fired 154 rounds and officers found 253 live rounds on his body.

34. The claim that Christopher Manfredonia was in the woods and wearing camo pants.
- Witness Describes Detained and Arrested Guy from the Woods: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUYOrvwA-DA From what the witness reports, we learn:
He walked by people, looked into a parent's eyes, and said "I didn't do it."
At the time of the witness being interviewed, the guy was sitting in the front of a police car.
The witness did not see him with a gun.
The witness describes him wearing camo pants with a dark jacket.
- However, Christopher Manfredonia was never in the woods, and he was not wearing camo pants.
"Chris Manfredonia, whose 6-year-old daughter attends the school, was heading there Friday morning to help make gingerbread houses with first-graders when he heard popping sounds and smelled sulfur.

38. The claim that Sandy Hook Elementary School was not in compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), further proving the school was abandoned/closed.While I do not know for sure if Sandy Hook Elementary School was ADA-compliant or not, it is not uncommon for schools to not be ADA-compliant.
- April 13, 2011. Page 1: "Superintendent Robinson noted there are many considerations in closing an elementary school. The neighborhood elementary school is a tradition. If one of the elementary schools were to be closed, Hawley, as the oldest, is the logical one. It is not ADA compliant and cannot be made ADA compliant."
