Sofia Smallstorm throughout her video and in Klein's video reminds us repeatedly what Mark S. Mann said during the bus scene, "I have not seen a single crime scene photograph of the inside or the outside of that school." In as much as that was her introduction to the rest of her information, we may assume that it was a crucial issue and one that she wanted us to impress upon us. At 4:35 into her video, she repeats what Mann says (left) and then adds, "but you can fill in the blank, a single child’s body, blood-strains, a devastated parent. There are many seriously missing pieces at Sandy Hook." I would ask the viewers if they have seen crime scene photos of any of the above shootings? Click this link about Virginia Tech and see if you see any bloody bodies. In 2002, someone, in one of the 34 agencies involved in the Columbine investigation, without authorization, leaked the Columbine crime scene photos which enraged the victim's families. |

Columbine High School, Littleton, Colorado: “Dozens of top secret, crime-scene photos from the Columbine High School massacre, showing the two killers' bodies, their victims and even their bombs, have leaked out. Families of some victims are outraged and say the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office has failed to keep a promise that the photos would never leave that office. "People don't want the pictures of their dead kids circulating on the Internet, which it appears likely is what's going to happen," said Brian Rohrbough, whose son Dan was one of the 13 killed when shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold rampaged through the school on April 20, 1999.” Tallman said 34 agencies were involved in the Columbine investigation, and the photos could have come from any of them." |

The building
at Fort Hood, where Hasan massacred 13 people and injured 32 four years
ago
will be demolished,
the military post said this week. The deployment processing center where
the shootings happened had been fenced off as a crime scene, but now
that Hasan has been convicted, it will be torn down, said Brian Dosa,
the post’s public works director. There are no scenes of the dead or
wounded bodies at Fort Hood. Like other crime scenes in the United
States, the police, the media, and the courts typically never show such
scenes.

Fort Hood, Texas:
"God bless all the families affected by this and the first responders.... and for the Major... I hope he goes to hell!"
Regarding the crime scene at
Fort Hood - Brett Mills, an FBI firearms expert with 23 years on
the job said, “When I walked in there it was probably the worst
scene personally that I’ve ever seen.” FBI Special Agent Susan
Martin testified, “There were several bodies (in one area), there
was medical equipment all over the floor. It was a pretty gruesome
scene.”
