Adam Lanza

Who Was Adam Lanza?

Adam Peter Lanza was an american man, born in Exeter, New Hampshire, on April 22nd, 1992. He lived with his mother, Nancy, and his father, Peter. His parents had divorced in 2009, but had been seperated long before that. He often had troubles with school, and was diagnosed with aspergers syndrome and OCD, and no longer attended. He lived with his mother in Newtown, Conneticut, seperated from his father and brother, Ryan. He struggled with making friends and took interests in the internet, Dance Dance Revolution (DDR), and mass killers. He often voiced frustrations with discriminatory biases againt pedophiles and other related paraphiles, even going as far as to write a college-entry essay about the controversies with sexual relations with children and pedophilia, even though he actively claimed he was not attracted to minors. He had struggles with anorexia, and that being fueled with his veganism and disgust to meat. He disagreed with doctors, even actively talking about his hatred to them on his newly discoverded (September 2021) youtube channel, "CulturalPhilistine". He often spoke on his distaste and hatred toward culture, and often complained about it.
On the morning of December 14th, 2012, he shot and killed his mother, Nancy. He then drove to Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown. He proceeded to shot 20 children, and 6 adults/staff. After authorities arrived, he ducked into classroom 10 and took his own life.


Adam's Motives

Many people claim that his motives were "Unknown", even his own Wikipedia page does. However, he did not explicitly explain his motives for the shooting.
The most logical belief is that he did it to save the children of Sandy Hook. He loved children, and voiced his care for them. He most likely believed that by killing the children, he was saving them from suffering and being "raped" by culture.
