Your claim is unverifiable based on the source you provided (considering your source cannot be found, that is pretty much a given). September 16th's FBI report clearly states that there have been deaths reported in Sandy Hook's event. As no more recent statements regarding Sandy Hook have been made by the FBI at this time (Sep 26, '14), this can be considered the 'current truth' as the FBI sees it.
Counterpoint, please.

You need to take the video code and wrap it in tags like this [youtube]_MxTEFUZhS4[/youtube ]

Agreed.


A single source does not suffice -does it ever?- unless a generalising statement is made along the lines of "X says no one was killed". When X is proven to say at least one person was killed, the earlier generalising statement is false, or in need of specification.
I used my link to point to the FBI saying something other than what they are said to say by the OP, not as the answer to whether or not people died at Sandy Hook, which is a wholly different matter.

Define 'gold standard'.

[KMA]Avenger wrote: on multiple occasions

When?

[KMA]Avenger wrote: by many people from all over the world

By whom?

Really? What makes your official report 'better' than the official report I linked?

[KMA]Avenger wrote:For that reason i trust it. has nothing to do with an agenda.

Except it is apparently a single source that agrees with your bold claim. We are then to disregard a source -directly from the FBI as much as your source (even more, since yours is several more steps away from the actual investigations)- that says something else.. why, because it says something else? Or because your 'world-wide experts' call it 'the gold standard'? Spin spin spin.


One World. Excelsior!
