MLB Player Shocks Fans After Tweeting That Sandy Hook ‘Conspiracy Stuff’ ‘Really Makes U Think & Wonder’

Wild conspiracy theories continue to rage surrounding the Sandy Hook massacre, as detractors claim that the tragedy is merely a government creation being used to manipulate the populace. On Wednesday, Washington Nationals’ centerfielder Denard Span seemingly entered the fray when he tweeted about YouTube videos that call the medias’ account of the event into question. His comment, which was widely seen as giving credence to conspiracy theorists, sparked intense rebuke.
“I was watching some controversial stuff on YouTube about the sandy hooks thing today! It really makes u think and wonder,” he wrote.
This comment was instantly met with shocked responses from individuals who find the alternative theories floating around about the 26 individuals who were killed inside of the elementary school (20 of them were children) absurd. The replies ranged from light-hearted to intensely-disappointed (some, though, did seem to agree that the situation seems curious). The full list of responses — both positive and negative — can be read here.
“NO, man. Don’t go into the conspiracies. They’re garbage, cooked up by truly sick people,” one Twitter user wrote, with another adding, “C’mon man be smarter than that?”
It didn’t take Span long to realize that he had offended some of his fans and followers. About an hour after the first message was sent, he tweeted a follow-up, dismissing his comment as “innocent.”
“All I said was that watching the stuff made u wonder and think. That is all,” he wrote. “Well so much for an innocent comment. I’m gonna enjoy the rest of my day!”
However, he didn’t simply end the conversation there. He sent additional messages, apologizing if he offended anyone and he also said that he isn’t in the “business of hurting people.” Twitter, Span wrote, is an outlet he uses to “have a good time” and share his life with followers.
What do you think? Was Span’s comment innocent — or is there a reason for frustration on behalf of his fans? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 12:43pmDid Sandy Hook happen? Yes, of course it did and it is a epic tragedy. But where are the surveillance tapes of Adam Lanza entering the school? Can we get a straight answer on what kind of guns he really used and where they were found? And what happened to the 2 people the police chased into the woods? And how about a toxicology report on what was in Lanza’s system such as psychotropic drugs? And why did the news get sooo much information wrong at first? And why is Lanaza’s mother’s car not even registered to her? I could go on, but you probably got the point by now.
This whole thing is spooky, but at least now they have their crisis and they are taking FULL advantage of it:

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 2:01pmOn 9/11, it was originally reported that flight 93 had been recaptured by the passengers and had been turned around toward Pitsburgh. Next day, the story was changed to fit their narrative, to cover up the fact that it was intentionally shot down. 2 pilots from the Missouri Air National Guard did it.
You can expect them to constantly change this story, as well.

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 2:36pmMy personal views are that this thing is very fishy, indeed. Any cursory look into Sandy Hook shows a bizarre series of misleading and contradictory information, say nothing of the memorial funds set up on FB by mistake BEFORE the massacre occurred.
As far as conspiracy goes, reality can fit someone in a wide gray area of potentialities. Some say that no one was killed, and this was a big movie set type false flag. The other side of the spectrum says that everything happened as currently stated in the “official report”. I think the truth lies somewhere in between. I suspect that children were indeed killed. There are real families broken up. However, the way it played out is not being told to you as truth. Did Adam kill them? Maybe. Maybe not. Why are all the eyewitnesses dead? All we have is what people heard through closed doors? Why does the inspector seem like an actor….an odd one at that? Why were people in camo running around the school when cops showed up? Anyway, I could go on. We only have an allegiance to truth, whatever that may be. Anyone who seeks to stifle thought or analysis should be looked at with suspicion.

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 12:23pmYour right, always question authority and this administration has proven that they can’t be trusted. At the moment I’ll take them at their word but nothing is etched in stone with these people. I have to admit, after watching some of the interviews with parents shortly after the event I was a little doubtful. At the same time, there’s really no accounting for human behavior. In the end, there’s nothing like a good conspiracy so I say, what’s the harm, let’s run with it.

On his radio show yesterday Mr. Beck identified as a conspiracy the administration, Eric Holder specifically, waiting for an event to happen so they could roll out some kind of plan to restrict gun ownership.
The conspiracy was to plan a course of action and wait for an event to trigger its implementation.
If you listen attentively and dispassionately you will realize that most of Mr. Beck’s opinions are of people acting stealthily will hidden motives and agendas. Even the history he presents is skewed to emphasize “what you are not being told”.
Mr. Beck says there’s a problem You Are Not Being Told the Truth
Mr. Beck then receives an emotional reaction to this claim
Mr. Beck then presents a solution for you to listen to him and he will tell you the truth.
Problem Reaction Solution
It’s almost all conspiracy.

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 2:11pmWith all due respect for probably being a hard worker and a nice guy, Hannity is like that little yappy dog next door, to me.
He doesn’t really say much of note outside the traditional, two-party political discussions, which are becoming increasingly irrelevant.
He never once referred to Saul Alinsky or George Soros, The NWO, Agenda 21, e.g., until Beck did it.
I want to thank anyone here questioning this Sandy Hook thing with boldness, because there is much too much there to ignore. The sealed caskets remind me of that ridiculous “burial at sea” cover-up excuse for THAT ridiculous hoax.
They are never-ending, I’m telling you, but the good news is once you are awakened to their patterns and methods, you will begin to see more and more of them coming at you every day. You will come to realize how costly these things are, and how your taxpayer money is being flushed daily for the sake of this kind of corruption.
Interesting aside, I am trying to post about that on several other sites, including Alex Jones and Breitbart, and the comments are being scrubbed!!
So far this morning, The Blaze is the only blog NOT censoring my posts about Sandy Hook!!!
If that doesn’t tell you something important about Sandy Hook, I don’t know what does.

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 3:11pmBeck was the first mainstream guy who brought up FEMA camps, George Soros, and a whole lot of other things I would never have heard of, had it not been for him.
To be fair, there were a lot of people offering a lot of related data points, and it all came together, but his presentations have been key.
There is a “list” of things radio guys are not supposed to talk about. Once, a caller tried to bring up the medical murders of elderly hospital patients, and the host was so freaked out with panic he screamed and hung up on the guy.
I figure if Beck backpedals, it’s because he got a call or visit from Captain Creepy and the Creepersons about content.
I’ve heard him say more than once, “I can only tell you so much.” “You have to do your own research, and form your own conclusions.”
Which means the information is out there, but “I can’t talk about it.”
Hell, they’ve even gotten to George Noory and John B. Wells over at Coast to Coast AM.
Suddenly, George is a “member in good standing of the Federal Shadow Government,” he’s starting this GaiamTV thing (oh, please), and the procession of loonies talking up Agenda 21 bullet-point list items is accelerating.

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 4:02pmArt Bell talked about FEMA camps Way Back when his show had higher ratings than Rush Limbaugh.
Mr. Beck says FEMA camps don’t exist.
George Noory has Alex Jones as a guest (probably something that Art Bell wouldn’t do).
John B. Wells has a good sounding voice, but he says things like “I don’t really know what to ask you.” or “I’m out of questions” and goes on mindless rants that have a lot of conspiracy buzzwords but show an illogical train of thought…. like Glenn Beck.

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 10:47amThe Thing is I do believe the media did bring in paid actors to play the victims. The incident did occur but the press needed someone to interview a Family member that lost a child.It takes a long time to discuss a dead child. can you imagine all the slammed doors on aggressive news reporters. One of them was caught acting like a uncle of one of the victims at the location but was quickly reported as some nut job.Remember no interview no news story thus get actors to portray.

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 12:02pm@chuck- stop and think about how far reaching your conspiracy has to be. Robbie Parker, the dad that spoke on camera early, had moved from Utah. So now his entire life in Utah would have to be involved, including his LDS ward of which he was an active member. Someone, a neighbor or whatever, could blow this conspiracy. As for the family from Britain the story is the same. Hundreds maybe thousands in their previous life could blow this story. The fact that no one steps forward suggests the conspiracy crap is just that.

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 10:45amI’m more shocked and disgusted at Mr. Beck
On yesterday’s radio show Mr. Beck played a tape of Ed Rendell and criticized him for saying some good can come out of Sandy Hook. Then an hour later he announced he was going to do a show on the good that came out of Sandy Hook when talking to a volunteer firefighter from the Connecticut town.
He also accused the President for politicizing the tragedy, then he interviews the firefighter , whose child attended the school, engaging in the same politicization in that fake soft voice he uses to feign emotion.
When the firefighter said he knew why Sandy Hook happened, Mr. Beck didn’t follow up with a question. He wasn’t even listening. He was just following his script.

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 11:01amThank you for the coffee – you make a good cup, sweetie! Now look – the fact is that a lot of good CAN come from tragedy, when analyzed with fact and reason, and not hysteric hyperbole. You stick your finger in a fire, you learn not to put your finger in it again!
Gaybama DID politicize the tragedy – those poor little corpses weren’t cold when he and his cohorts came out prosthelesizing the “need” for “gun-control”. They’ve tread on the backs of victims of crimes in favor of gun control since 1968, coming out hard corps in 1989, when Patrick Purdy murdered some kids in a school yard in 1989. Since 1989, most of these murderers have been linked to psychotropic drugs issued to subdue one mental illness or another.
Why aren’t the drugs being looked at? They slam cocaine and crack and marijuana – when was the last time someone took out a schoolyard of kids under the influence of one of those? why not LEGALIZED drugs?
Now where’s my bagel? Oh, and I’ll have a second cup, thank you!

Never allowed? I don’t get it – is their some MLB or NFL or NHL or NBA rule or regulation that prohibits US athletes from voicing an opinion? I’m just asking, because I don’t know.
If not, then again, it’s not that they’re prohibited – it’s that they’re too cowardly to say what they feel and then stand by it with good reasoning.

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 10:32amSimply having a “wonder” or stating that something does not seem right with what we are being told by the government and news media does not constitute being considered a crazy lunatic. Nor does it mean that one may not believe those people were murdered. It just means you think there is a possibilty, based on some uncontested observations and unanswered questions, that what we were told happened may have actually happened much differently and that there may be much more to it than what was said. We have the right to know exactly what happened, and deserve answers to some troubling inconsistensies. There obviously will not be a trial since the alleged murderer is dead, but that should not mean that a complete investigation should not be completed and the details released to the public.

Then you toss in the truly bizarre behavior of some family members and Gene Rosen, and you get a helluva a lot of smoke drifting over this thing. At this point, Obama is on the knife edge of an impeachable offense. His admin is covering up and suppressing evidence to push his anti-gun agenda.

Over the past month, we have not heard very little about the actual attack – obama and his government and his media have focused 100% on gun-control talk – it is all very strange and suspicious – America wants to know what actually happened.

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 10:28amEveryone should “think” about all information. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with his original statement. This is part of the reason why this country is in such bad shape…..Everyone accepts what they are told (question with boldness) and does what they are told (I will not comply)

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 10:27amI agree completely with this MLB player. It is very hard to know what is true or false in today’s Big Government and Media partnership world. We know they have an agenda to undermine our rights and freedoms – Look how Obama just tied the 2nd Amendment to the Healthcare law. Almost immediately after the mass killing in Sandy Hook, people who want to protect our 2nd Amendment wanted to go after Big pharma and the mind altering drugs it produces. People who are anti-gun wanted to go after gun rights and the firearm industry. It’s not so hard to believe this could have been set up- no one wants to believe that- no one wants to believe we have a Marxist in the White House either- The point is, this event gave the president an opportunity to tie the two together for more control. If it was a set up- it worked beautifully. I guess the bottom line is, I understand why the MLB player had those thoughts. I have them too.

I suggest you read the article!

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 10:17amThis man is quickly seeing how afraid people are to “Question with Boldness” Maybe if the administration would not have been so obviously foaming at the mouth at the opportunity to push his gun control legislation, we would not have been so suspicious. You can call me any name you want, I am awake and open minded to the fact that any thing is possible. Things are not adding up on this and I am not a crazy conspiracy theorist. I watched every bit of the coverage as it unfolded and I was immediately troubled. There are some valid questions.

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 10:14amAh, the thought police back at it.
It just bothers leftists and candy asses when they realize they cannot control what people think. It would be nice if they put all that negative energy into something more productive, like working or proper rearing of children – but that’s asking a lot of these types of people.

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 10:11amHe didn’t even state an opinion on the conspiracy theory — he just said it made him wonder. Are we no longer allowed to think and wonder?
Uh oh! Better make that the next executive order! Accept information from the government and media and DO NOT THINK OR WONDER!

No, not if that thinking and wondering cuts against the grain of prevailing thought at the time.
It’s really sad.

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 10:10amNot only is this ignorant, but can you even imagine how painful this is for the survivors and their families? There are dead INNOCENT children here? Is this the way to honor their memories?

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 10:29amThe news media botched the job reporting shooting and the government has not looked into it further. We honor their memories by finding out what happened that day. No one is saying that those innocent children were not shot, there are just inconsistencies in what has been reported.

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 2:25pmThere could be muderers on the loose! The media has been beating the ‘gun control’ drum since the beginning. The timing stinks to high heavens. Hillary was still hiding out at the hospital, to avoid testifying about Benghazi. Even if it was a ‘lone nut’, just like they told us about Dallas in 1963, the media’s behavior makes them look complicit in a coverup.
