    The fact the name is in the movie could potentially why the shooter chose that school, but his mother did work there and he murdered her before going after the kids. It's hard to say. He's dead and unless there was a detailed note explaining why he chose to do what he did, we will probably never know.

    That's like blaming the guns for the shooting....

    Leftist conspiracy to feed off of weak mentally challenged white males in their twenties, to commit horrific crimes, to shock the nation into to banning guns so they can take over the with their own agenda?

    Not exactly. He had a connection to that school, albeit a small one. Nothing like that is ever chosen at random. Even if the act isn't planned out thoroughly, the madman will made a decision as to where he wants to go commit his atrocity.

    Putting statements out there is what gives fuel to those that oppose our rights....

    Saying "that map was in a movie, so it COULD be why it happened at Sandy Hook", is the same as saying "Rappers rap about Glocks" or "Cabelas had a sale that day" and that's why they are used to kill people......there is nothing to blame except the shooter.

    How about - "He did it there because he's a sick and twisted psychopath."

    You didn't interpret my original post correctly then. I SAID that because his MOTHER worked there, he had a connection to the school. I didn't say that the movie caused him to pick Sandy Hook.

    There is video of people saying the police pulled a second guy out of the woods and he kept saying "I didnt do it", They also said the mother was a substitute teachers there years ago. and then the weird deal with him having his brothers ID on him when his brother said he had not talked to him since 2010. Lot's of stuff that does not add up.

    Hey guys. This is interesting. However, if you search Sandy Hook on google it seems to be an area in new jersey that is a popular tourist place. Im sure there are also other instances of sandy hook around the US. It is very probable that the people who provide movie props just used an already existing map for the background prop. Not thinking it would gain much attention since it is covered by things and way zoomed out. It doesnt make sense for them to go through the effort to create a special map just for this movie or scene. I do admit it is quite the coincidence.

    Just trying to apply some Occums Razor here(spelling?). That applies right.

    My two cents, im not trying to stir up trouble.

    All the media is doing is making the shooter out to be a hero to other nut jobs. I'm tired of hearing about it. Let the families move on and heal. **** the media!

    Gotham is like NYC, so like you said they are just using some regular map I would agree with 100%.
