That's because you're an idiot. His mom is dead, he can't talk to his friends and his life is certainly in danger. His life is shattered, he can't buy a new one.



Nothing stops him from talking to his friends. Re his mom, I'm referring only to his loss of reputation. He's in danger from idiots; moving to a liberal area should help. He'll be able to afford some decent security in any case, like any multi-millionaire.


This is something I actually know a lot about, being his roommate and friend. The only way we can even vaguely have a conversation with him is through our respective FBI contacts. You have no clue how sequestered he is.

Moving to a decently liberal area doesn't change anything, if there's some crazy that wants you dead, they'll do a lot to make it happen.


He's not under arrest. Expect the situation to clear up. Think Richard Jewell; a lot of people surely wanted to do him harm too, for his initially suspected involvement in the Olympic Park bombing. But later he had no problems.


>But later he had no problems.

No problems, except for being dead of diabetes and heart disease. Certainly makes me wonder if the stress of being a wrongfully accused terrorist shortened his life.

Maybe that is what happened. Although he seemed to be in bad health before being accused. Many people don't care what others think about them. Hopefully Ryan Lanza is or can become one of them.


Connecticut is a relatively liberal state, and he lived in a small town with a low crime rate. Where do you suggest?


He'd likely be fine in Connecticut, when people have had some time to calm down.


Regardless of how those of us on Hacker News identify politically, your shot at conservatives is out of line. I identify liberally and even I see it as inappropriate. I'm not being hyperbolic when I inform you that comments and opinions like yours are the kind that will be the end of America and everything that we believe in as we know it. Political conversation in this country is a time bomb.

Beyond that, pretty much every comment you've left in this thread is cancerous, insensitive, and outright stupid, and I wish you'd stop typing. I mean that in the most respectful way.


just because you say something isn't hyperbolic, doesn't mean it's not. likewise, just because you say something is respectful, doesn't mean it is.

"liberal" and "conservative", as you don't seem to be aware, have meanings outside of United States politics.


I am aware, but since the advice was to move and the guy lives in America, I localized my answer.


Liberal is defined as "open-minded". It's not just a political party affiliation.
