What Is Sandy Hook?

Sandy Hook is a village located in the Connecticut municipality of Newtown. Its founding year was 1711. Prior to the 2020 census, it was recognised as a census-designated place. Along the Housatonic River, Sandy Hook is bordered by the communities of Monroe, Southbury, Oxford, the Newtown borough, and the village of Botsford. The settlements of Berkshire, Riverside, Walnut Tree Hill, and Zoar are all part of Sandy Hook Village. Along Bagburn Hill/Jordan Hill Road and Old Zoar Road, it also briefly enters the town of Monroe.

In an effort to foster community, numerous landowners who owned property nearby moved to Sandy Hook.

A year after Newtown was founded, several of its landowners started relocating to some of their larger parcels distant from the village’s centre. The Pootatuck River in Sandy Hook allowed for the construction of saw and grist mills, making it one of the first remote locations to be colonised. The post-industrialization in the middle of the 19th century brought a tremendous increase in the neighbourhood.

What Happened In Sandy Hook?

On December 14, 2012, a mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, commonly known as the Newtown shootings of 2012, left 28 people dead and 2 injured in Newtown, Connecticut. Adam Lanza first killed his mother at their house before killing 20 children and 6 adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School. He then killed himself. One of the bloodiest school shootings in American history occurred there. Medical examinations of the victims in the days after the shootings showed that each had been shot several times. The size of the slaughter and the fact that the bulk of the fatalities were children between the ages of six and seven spurred a new discussion about Second Amendment rights while investigators worked to determine the motive for the attack.

What Did Alex Jones Say About Sandy Hook?

As per New York Times, Here is a small sampling of what he said:

“My gut is, with the timing and everything that happened, this is staged. And you know I’ve been saying the last few months, get ready for big mass shootings, and then magically, it happens.”

“Folks, we got to get private investigators up to Sandy Hook right now. Because I’m telling you this stinks to the highest heaven.”

“We’re sorry for everybody’s losses, whatever. We’re investigating this, though.”

“It’s as phony as a $3 bill.”

“You’ve got parents laughing ‘hahaha’ and then they walk over to the camera and go ‘boo hoo hoo,’ and not just one but a bunch of parents doing this and then photos of kids that are still alive, they said died? I mean, they think we’re so dumb.”

“Why did Hitler blow up the Reichstag to get control! Why do governments stage these things to get our guns? Why can’t people get that through their head?” “I watched the footage, and it looks like a drill.”

What Is The Alex Jones Case?

Alex Jones, a conspiracy theorist, was forced to pay about $1 billion for the fabrications he made regarding the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting. In the days following the murders, Jones erroneously asserted that the incident was a hoax and accused a distraught father of being an actress. Amna Nawaz spoke with attorney Jesse Gessin on the verdict.

Within hours of the Sandy Hook shooting, Alex Jones started to fabricate information about it, and he did so until he was sued. However, Mr Jones was essentially banned from all major social media sites in 2018.

In the Sandy Hook lawsuit, he refused to disclose evidence, so the families’ attorneys had to sift through extensive records to show the jury what he truly said about the massacre on his radio and web show. Some of the videos were taken from previous Infowars feeds found by Dan Friesen and Jordan Holmes, whose comedy podcast, “Knowledge Fight,” examines Jones’s deceptive broadcasts and his part in American conspiracy theories. Others were found on other social media accounts.
