The large sign was stolen from the recently dedicated playground by a man that then called the girl’s mother accusing her of being a part of the grand scale conspiracy. He said he stole the sign because he believes that it was a hoax and that her daughter never existed. In the Sandy Hook massacre Adam Lanza shot and killed 20 children and six adult staff members at the school after killing his mother in their home. The small group of conspiracy “truthers” still allege that the shooting never happened or was part of a ‘false flag’ operation to take all of the guns away from citizens of the United States.
All of the theories that these people bring to the table can be easily explained or debunked. So it is sad to think that things like this are not isolated incidents. A few days before this vandalism there was another at a playground in Hartford. A vandal had spray painted on a playground sign dedicated to another Newtown victim Anna Grace Marquez-Greene. My heart goes out to the family members that have to deal with the ignorance and paranoia of other people while also dealing with their own children’s death.
