#ryanlanza

In addition to the overwhelming sadness the country is facing at the loss of precious children’s lives, my sympathy goes out to Ryan Lanza, the older brother to the shooter, Adam Lanza. Not only did he just lose his his mother and brother, but half the country thinks he’s the killer. Thousands of people have shared his profile picture with the most vilifying captions because numerous news outlets mistakenly reported he was the terrorist. By the time they corrected themselves and identified his brother as the shooter, the country had stopped watching the news and started facebooking.
