Hours after the elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that left 19 children and two teachers dead, it began.

“I’m sorry but I have to say it,” one poster wrote on a far-right message board. “We have to have another false flag shooting, killing small children.”

“Those directing false flags know the emotional response from the Buffalo shooting is wearing down for the sheep,” another person posted online. “So they did another one in Uvalde Texas to reinforce the response. Don’t be fooled. False Flag season is here.”

This script could have come from 10 years ago—and in fact, some of the same people spreading lies about Uvalde have been doing it for a decade. I have spent the past four years tracking the rise and spread of misinformation about a tragedy heartbreakingly similar to Uvalde: the Sandy Hook massacre. The haunting echoes between the two shootings don’t stop at the young victims.

The story of Lenny Pozner shows how these misinformation campaigns proceed. Two years after his son, Noah, 6, was murdered at Sandy Hook, Pozner started to receive chilling messages online. “I want to hear the ‘slaughter,’ and I won’t be satisfied until the caskets are opened,” one message read. “Prove to the world you’ve lost your son,” another demanded.

The missives in this case arrived from a woman with the online handle “gr8mom.” They were not the first, and wouldn’t be the last. After Sandy Hook, Infowars broadcaster Alex Jones had spread the same bogus theory that the shooting was a staged pretext for federal gun control, with the families of the victims in on the plot. The families fought back. In 2018, 10 of them, including Pozner’s, sued Jones for defamation. They won late last year, and soon, juries will decide how much Jones must pay them in damages.

The people who spread these conspiracies online were harder to categorize. For Pozner, who led the families’ battle against the conspiracy theorists, there was a difference between commercial conspiracists like Jones and relative unknowns like “gr8mom.” “Jones was not interested in getting to any sort of destination or truth,” he told me in an interview. But perhaps some others struggled “to carry the pain of women and children being executed.” Maybe their questions sprang from a genuine inability to understand how this could have happened. Pozner hoped that by walking these people through the reality of Noah’s life and the hell of his death, he could make them believe. Or at least make them stop.

In my new book, I caught up with “gr8mom,” who harassed the families of victims for years. Had her life gone as planned, she would have been a first grade teacher. A suburban Tulsa grandmother, she instead became a vicious conspiracy theorist, tormenting the parents of children murdered in their Sandy Hook classrooms. When we spoke, she told me she was proud of what she’d done—and is still doing.

Today, one-fifth of Americans believe all major mass shootings are staged, according to Joe Uscinski an associate professor of political science at the University of Miami who studies political conspiracy theories. These false theories will no doubt torment the families of the victims in Texas, just as they did in Sandy Hook. How could anyone, a parent no less, not only believe these delusions but make it a point to confront the families with them? Pozner wanted to know. This is the story of one of those people.

this isn't like my normal stuff but i really need to talk about Uvalde,TX

on may 24th 2022 an 18 year old man walked into Robb's elementary school in Uvalde, TX with a legally owned firearm and shot and killed student and teachers

as of today (may 26th) there have been 21 confirmed deaths the majority being children from the 2nd-4th grades (ages 7-10)

the man was killed either by himself or by police

he doesnt deserve to be dead. every single one lf these shooters are dead. he should pay for his crimes and live with the guilt that he murdered children

the day this country decided that killing grown children in a place they were the supposed to be SAFE in was the day that guns had more rights than people

im terrified that my former high school will be next

im terrified that my cousins' highschool and elementary schools will be next and i live in one of the states with the strictest gun regulations

i work in a fucking mall

THIS ISNT NEW

it should have ended with columbine

it should have ended with sandy hook

I’ve been at a loss for words since the horrific shooting yesterday and even now words aren’t enough. I am a teacher. I had to take time to process everything. Something has to change. I remember Sandy Hook vividly and how I felt during that time as a soon to be teacher. This time it felt different. I’ve been teaching for almost 10 years and I am pregnant 🤰🏻 with my first baby.

Every teacher I know has thought about what we would do if an active shooter came in.

Every teacher I know has had to practice drills with students.

Every teacher I know has had conversations with students about why we have intruder drills and why it’s so important to stay quiet and then wonders how on earth we could actually keep a room full of young kids quiet.

Every teacher I know would not think twice about doing everything in their power to protect and act if there were ever a situation.

Every teacher I know has looked at their classroom door and had a thought about how to lock it so we are prepared if something were to happen.

Every teacher.

This isn’t ok. We shouldn’t have to think about these things on top of everything else we do. This is the world we live in.

While I’m not going to start a political debate on here about gun control & the current state of our laws I will say this: WE CAN NOT KEEP FAILING OUR KIDS AND OUR TEACHERS.

Words aren’t enough. Action is the only way.

I don’t remember December 14, 2012. It was a normal day of first grade for me. But only about two hours away at Sandy Hook Elementary school the lives of 20 other first graders were ended.

Nine years later when the Sandy Hook victims should have been in 10th grade, another shooting at an elementary school happened. 19 children were killed.

The Robb Elementary School shooting is the second deadliest after Sandy Hook. Why are the deadliest school shooting at elementary schools? Why do I have to ask that question? Why am I scared every time there is a lockdown that there is a shooter at my school? Why? Why? Why?

Simple Americans love their guns more than human lives. More than lives of the children. I hate being an American, especially now

When Sandy Hook happened, I was a little older than the kids who were at Sandy Hook, but I was still a small child, I think I was around 10. I lived in Connecticut at the time and I remember for about a week after the shooting there were cops outside when school started and ended. We weren't allowed to go outside for recess that week, they were afraid of a copycat shooting. One of the kids who died, Ana Marquez-Greene, was my sisters teachers goddaughter.

I think from a student perspective, it was always scary going into school with the thought that today we might all die in the back of our heads, but we were also desensitized to it. I'm in college now and we had a lockdown drill and it brought back a lot of fear and panic from when I was in K-12 but I had to brush it off and act like a normal person.

I'm so sorry this has been a reality of your childhood, your feelings and fears are valid and normal. Thank you for sharing your perspective.

Ten years ago today, 26 lives were snuffed out. Twenty children were viciously murdered, and six staff gave their lives to protect their students.

[quotesfrommyreading]

It started as a very normal Friday. I got my two kids up, dressed, and took them up the driveway to catch the bus to school. I was supposed to be going in later that afternoon to Dylan’s class to make gingerbread houses. In the morning I was going to my exercising classes. A friend called the kickboxing class, and the instructor answered the phone and brought it over to me. That was when my friend told me that there was a shooting at the school, where both of our children were at. One of my friends got me into a car, and we drove across town to get there. It was just absolute chaos, and you couldn’t get close. I jumped out of my car and started running toward the driveway to the school, but instead was funneled into the firehouse. There were people crammed together in every room of the firehouse. All the kids had been brought there from the elementary school, and they were all sitting on the floor or the couch or in the chairs. I found another first-grade class, but I couldn’t find Dylan’s. I eventually found my other son, Jake, who was a third grader at the time.

There were rumors circulating at that point. Someone asked me who I was looking for, and I said Ms. Soto’s class. And this woman said, “Oh, I heard she’d been shot.” And I got really angry. I said, “Don’t you dare say anything unless you know it’s true!” Then I ensured that one of our friends was taking [Jake] home safely. Jake said, “Where’s Dylan?” I said, “I don’t know, but I’m going to find him.”

Eventually all the kids left with their parents, and there were several of us left, walking around looking for our kids, but they weren’t there. Then we were asked to go to the back room. I didn’t realize at that point what that meant. I was in absolute denial. I think some parents had started to figure things out by then, or they were reading things on their phones. I wasn’t. Eventually they told us that there had been a shooting and that several people had died. We were asked to write down our child’s name on a list being formed, and what classroom they were in. It was just an interminable wait. There were people crying. I was very quiet; I just shut down. Quite a while later, Governor Dannel Malloy came in. I didn’t even know who he was back then. He was the one who told us that if we were still there waiting, it meant that the person we were waiting for wasn’t coming back.

That’s when absolute chaos erupted in the firehouse, screaming and crying and people falling to the floor. Even then, I was like, ‘No, that can’t be. My son’s probably hiding somewhere or he ran or he’s still with his special-education assistant, because she would have never left his side.’ It was later that I found out he had been killed, and had been found in the arms of his special-education assistant, who had died while trying to protect him. That was the first 15 hours of that day.

Sandy hook elementary school shooting

#SANDY HOOK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SHOOTING HOW TO#

She thought about the other parents whose children had also lived through school shootings. Then came the virus, shutdowns, soaring death tolls and suddenly, amid all of it, a torturous dilemma. He wanted to go there and earned it, receiving a six-figure scholarship that covered the tuition their middle-class family never could have afforded. Nelba, a marriage and family therapist, had struggled at first with the idea of letting her son leave for boarding school a year earlier, but she and her husband, Jimmy Greene, respected Isaiah and worked hard never to let their trauma or fear dictate the way they raised him. It was so unfair, she thought at the time, but at least he would be safe with them, at home.

#SANDY HOOK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SHOOTING HOW TO#

Nelba had assumed the campus would remain closed and had spent weeks considering how to help her son through virtual classes in the fall. “I’m going,” all of his elated classmates were declaring in a group thread, so he messaged his roommate, who told him the same thing.Īm I going to be the only one who doesn’t go? Isaiah wondered at the same time his mom, Nelba Marquez-Greene, was reading the email in her office upstairs. He closed the email and checked Snapchat. On the living room couch, just down the hall from a collection of his sister’s framed portraits, Isaiah had trouble believing his parents could bear to send him back. Now, eight years after the massacre that shattered his family and devastated the country, another threat - the deadliest pandemic in a century - had arrived on America’s campuses. But that’s what he had become: their only surviving child. “I don’t want to be an only child,” he told his mom and dad that December night after they explained to him Ana was gone. On a cold winter morning in 2012, Isaiah had cowered in a third-grade classroom at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., listening to the gunshots that were ending the lives of six staff members and 20 first-graders, including his sister, Ana Grace. But Isaiah understood how little solace that knowledge offered his parents. Rarely - in only the worst cases - would they die. Most children who got sick would be fine. Millions of parents had begun to worry by that July afternoon about schools reopening in the fall, but many found comfort in what they knew of the novel coronavirus. Maybe this news meant all those things would happen, he thought for a moment, before the reality of who he is came back to him. Four months into the pandemic, Isaiah, 16, longed to play hockey, to see his friends, to return for his sophomore year to the Connecticut boarding school he had worked so hard to get into. Isaiah Marquez-Greene skimmed past the opening two paragraphs until, at the third, he paused: “This decision to open campus …” The teen was sitting on his living room couch watching another episode of “The Office” when the email popped up on his cellphone.
