Many people—including celebrities—have spoken out on the horrific tragedy that struck Newtown, Conn., on Friday, when a 20-year-old gunman opened fire and killed at least 26 people, including 20 children, at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
However, Morgan Freeman is not one of those people. The actor has not released a comment on the incident that took place a few days ago, despite numerous stories reporting otherwise.
The lengthy quote attributed to Morgan is indeed an hoax.
"Morgan neither made statements or posted those statements. We are trying to find out who did, but they did not originate from him," the actor's rep tells E! News.
The remark floating around online that was said to be from Freeman stated the following,
"You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here's why. It's because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single victim of Columbine? Disturbed people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody."
The falsely-attributed quote continued, "CNN's article says that if the body count 'holds up,' this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer's face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer's identity? None that I've seen yet. Because they don't sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you've just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next. You can help by forgetting you ever read this man's name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem."

Me too.
I feel weird about this entire thing. Something aint right. I need my aluminum hat. |
It's a sad and crazy story, but I am feeling some vibe from it. Don't know if those photos are photoshopped or not, but the same people in old pictures now in these one. A few said they may be actors or so, I am like mm  don't know about that yet. But I do know they're trying real hard to pass or have that gun/martial law.

 Ryan Lanza, the older brother of Sandy Hook Elementary shooter Adam Lanza, says he's a victim of the massacre by losing both his mother and brother.
Ryan, in a message to the NY Post via Facebook, said, "“I am a victim ... I loss [sic] my mom and brother."Ryan also posted pics of his brother and mother, each with a message underneath. For his brother, he wrote, "I will miss you bro. I will always love you as long as I live." For his mother ... "I miss you mom. I love you so much. You will be always in my heart."The Post says Ryan is responding to Facebook posts wishing that his brother "rot in hell" ... saying, "I am so tired of people blaming me for something my brother did. I love Adam ... But you have no right to call my brother names when he isn’t here no more. Just let my brother rest in peace. Please. Respect that."Some media outlets mistakenly named Ryan the shooter because Adam was carrying his older brother's ID at the time of the massacre.

yes, it's kind of sick to implore people to allow your BROTHER to rest in peace...no acknowledgement of the lives lost except for the one you cared about...your mother and brother. disgusting.

I HATE THESE FUCCIN PPL SMFH
BREAKING NEWS  What drove Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza to murder 26 people in cold blood? The answer could lie in his DNA ... and now, geneticists are trying to uncover the microscopic mystery. The study will take place at the University of Connecticut, where a team of geneticists is reportedly set to examine Lanza's DNA. The team is expected to investigate whether a special mutation is responsible for setting off the troubled 20-year-old on December 14. UConn's department of genetics is working hand-in-hand with CT's Chief Medical Examiner during the study -- though a rep for the medical examiner's office admits ... they're not really sure what they're looking for. Results are expected to take several weeks.
