Six year old girl survived Sandy Hook massacre by playing dead for God
DOES the media corrupt the story? The look-at-me ABC TV news woman speaks to Pastor Jim Solomon who knows that a six-year-old girl survived Adam Lanza’s murderous rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School by playing dead. She stayed quiet. She may have been too petrified to move or speak. Play dead. It’s human instinct.
“She ran out of the school building covered from head to toe with blood and the first thing she said to her mom was, ‘Mommy, I’m OK but all my friends are dead.”
The child was the first survivor taken from the school after the shooting.
Why did she survive?
The news reporter says the child survived because she was “smart” and “brave“. How does she know this? We’re not told.
The reporter asks how the parents are “doin‘”. She asks her ‘how does it feel?’ question in a homey accent. The effect is the reverse of what she intends. She appears not to be on the level. The sympathetic, matey tone makes her look more like an outsider.
The pastor says the child has “survivor’s guilt”. He says it was “divine intervention”. God saved this child. The others, they died.
If God saved her why didn’t God save the rest of them?

Sting, what really got to me was the pastor said she had ‘survivor’s guilt’. What a crock of *hit. That little girl is happy to be alive and at her young age there is no such emotion as survivor’s guilt.
As for “He says it was “divine intervention””,give me a break from all the talk of God’s will this and God’s will that. Lanza was using a semi-automatic, I’ll wager all that sos did was stand in one spot shooting spraying that room with bullets killing those children as they sat there or were running trying to get away. He didn’t have to go from child to child shooting. The bullets flying missed that little girl.

If you think that reporter was insensitive, I happened upon the chief medical officer giving a press conference on TV. A reporter asked – ‘could you describe what kind of clothes the kids where wearing’ – or words to that effect.

The guy looked like he couldn’t believe his ears, and gave a suitably tart reply.

As for the complete stupidity of trying to imply a deity had a hand in events….
