Plus, Robbie Parker, father of 6-year-old victim, Emilie Parker, offers ‘love and support’ to the gunman’s family.
Frantic parents raced to Sandy Hook Elementary School on Friday Dec. 14 to find out if their child was harmed by Adam Lanza’s deadly attack, where he killed 26 people including 20 children. Sadly, after 11AM — 90 minutes after the first shots were heard — a police officer allegedly entered the firehouse where families were being reunited and said, “I’m sorry, there are no more children.”
“The wailing started. I will never forget that sound,” Monsignor Robert Weiss, priest of St Rose of Lima Catholic Church, said. “They fell to their knees sobbing. That was the most terrible moment of all. What do you say to those parents?”
Robbie Parker was one of the parents who found out his daughter, Emilie Parker, 6, was killed in the shooting.
Student’s Father, Robbie Parker, Speaks In Press Conference & Forgives Gunman’s Family
“I’d like to offer our deepest condolences to all the families who were directly affected. It’s a horrific tragedy, and our hearts go out to them,” Robbie said in a press conference on Dec. 15. ”This includes the family of the shooter, and I want you to know that our love and support go out to you as well.”
Explaining why he’s talking, Robbie said, “I’ve been contacted by so many people wanting to know how we’re doing that this might be the best way to share those feelings.”
“My daughter Emilie would be one of the first ones giving her love and support to all of the victims, because that’s the kind of person she is” her heart-broken dad said. ”As the deep pain begins to settle in our hearts, we find comfort in the incredible person Emilie was and how many people she was able to touch in her short time on Earth.
Emilie, 6, was one the Adam’s 26 victims on Dec. 14.
Our thoughts remain with the victims who lost their lives, their suffering families, and the shaken community of Newtown, CT. We can’t imagine what they are feeling.
What do you think of this horrific situation, HollywoodLifers? Will this town ever recover? Will we as a nation?

I’ve been checking out a lot of articles about this tragedy and have read about the conspiracy that some believe. Some think that the girl with Obama was Emilie but it is indeed the middle child and a hand me down dress. I have seen the family’s blog which was started in 2008 – seeing the little Emilie, then Madeline being part of the family then the little Samantha, Their photos and them growing up together. There are videos, too. With that blog, you’ll love the family. It’s there that you’ll see when and how the youngest girl suck her fingers in an inverted way. But the mom stopped blogging in 2010. I sense there was something wrong. Something went wrong. Maybe the altered family photos if they were, were really lacking Emilie. I hope you’re getting what I mean. And maybe it is the reason why they have easily “coped” that day.. Parents of Emilie? Yes. Actors? Could be.. Just my 2 cents.
Has anyone looked at the photo of the parker family ? Take a long look at it and examine it. You know what i saw first? i saw a family of four and then i saw a little girl. why is it that the mother and the father are both leaning into each other therefore leaving emilie just sitting there kinda awkward? i know if that was me and i had 3 kids i would have at least put my arm around the little girl if i couldnt fit her on my lap. she looks like she is just there. just photoshopped into the photo. Ive been working with photoshop for well over 6 years. taught by the best. My computer loving hubby who is pretty much a pro at using it himself. he even looked it over zoomed it and pointed out all the mistakes that were made. he knows what to look for and that girl was def photoshopped into the pic. Either these people hated that child or she isnt their kid and doesnt exist as who they say she does. Plain and simple as that. Is there even any photo at all of the mother father hold our touching emilie? is there even any photos of all the girls together or her sisters even touching emilie?? I know i have plenty of my girls playing together and interacting but from what i can see there is not one of this happening with the parker family and emilie.

Posted at 12:27 AM on February 8, 2013
this is what u call disinformation, u need ask questions like why was there a second shooter, or why did they say the mother was a teacher then wasn’t, how the hell does a little kid crash into sandy hook and go rambo like hes military trained to kill 26 ppl! why are the kids saying the arrested a man who said he didnt do it?! we need to demand that they release they shoot videos just like in columbine!, why the hell won’t they, what is there to hide!!

There’s a family photo where they’re all in white shirts, and Emily is very clearly photoshopped into the photo. Her hair in that photo has a very clear pixel line around it, and you can see where she is pasted over some wheat that went above Robbie’s leg.
His acting almost as bad as that of Gene Rosen.

I am the father of four marvelous kids, but you will NEVER convince me that any gun a madman uses to kill our babies is to blame for his twisted acts. HE is to blame. In China, the same thing happens with KNIVES and dozens are killed and mamed. BAN KNIVES NOW??
I love my children more than life itself, and mourn and grieve with the affected families, but it is as insane to want to ban guns because of acts of violence as it is to ban SUGAR to prevent obesity.

This picture is really crazy and gives me a VERY bad feeling! Why does the lil girl on his lap have NO LEGS and the other one with her fingers in her mouth only has 4 FINGERS and the thumb is placed on the wrong side! She is making a very evil sign with her photoshopped hand! This is just all really missed up and I’m not sure why a fmily would release a picture like this!

There is no problem with the little girl’s hand. She has 4 fingers and a thumb. Not sure why you said “only” 4 fingers; everyone has 4 fingers. It is her LEFT hand, and she has it pointing AWAY from her, so her thumb is exactly where it should be. You can clearly see it is her palm facing the camera, not the back of her hand. Try it out – left hand, facing out. Also, the girls legs are to the sides of the dad’s legs, under dresses, and were not in the photo. Haven’t you ever see pics where people’s legs aren’t in the photo? You are reading WAY too much into this.

Posted at 11:43 AM on January 24, 2013
The way she puts her fingers in here mouth is totally unnatural. She was taught to do that. She also does it int he Obama photo-op pic. Notice the other girl is flashing the devil horns too. So is one of the “dead teacher’s” relatives in another pic. Then there’s Anderson Cooper with the Bohemian Grove owl drawing. The elite who run this world like to out their little signs on what they do. More are waking up to this, but most are still clueless. BTW, Newton is a big place for Satanic cults. They even did a survey on it in the 90s.

The little girl has her fingers in her mouth with her palm facing toward the camera, and looks like totally normal to me. She has all her fingers on the other hand, as well…the middle finger simply blocks the index finger from view.
No photoshopping, no evil gestures. ..and BTW, I am a professionally trained photo retouchier.
dude
Posted at 12:20 AM on January 16, 2013
Because Newtown is a hub for Satanic activity. All the parents I’ve seen appear to be acting – not one shed a real tear. There are way too many holes in the official story. This looks like a NWO false flag event that will be used to take our guns.
Your comment is so stupid that I am grateful for Deb explaining how a hand “works” when it is facing outward. Hint: It reverses.
No legs are missing.
Get a grip and stop sensationalizing everything.
Courtney
Posted at 3:58 PM on January 21, 2013
I do not know why people keep saying she only has four fingers…. Her palm is facing towards the camera and she is sucking on her two middle fingers. There is nothing wrong with her hand. Stop listening to what people tell you and begin to look for yourself.

At 1.42 Robbie Parker says” because that’s the kind of daughter she is”! get it is! We lost a 4 year old daughter to a drunk driver so we know how it is to loose a child! You can’t get up and talk calmly much less laugh and joke! But he said she is! Not she was but is! Something definately is wrong here!
Do both of the little girls.. sitting on their dad’s lap… have no legs? Was this family photo… photoshopped?

Mormons believe that the spirit continues even after the body dies, so IS makes sense. On top of that, he’s barely had time to register that his daughter is dead. Give the guy a break!

Your absolutely right. It’s long over due for people to wake up and start pointing their fingers in the right direction as to who is behind all these atrocities and wars all over the world. Look at who is pulling the strings controlling the world causing devastation hunger and wars.
Don’t you think that the only thing the average person in the street in any country wants is what you or I want ? That is to just be able to work and provide for their families, not go around fighting and killing people. Look to the ones that are controlling the politicians and the economies of the world. Not the 1% but the .05% They know what the trickle down effects will cause when they reach us and they don’t give a damn. It’s a game to them.

Hey hollywoodlife, are you SURE Emily is the child on the right side of the photo? I ask because that is the girl who has her picture taken with the president before he gives his speech at sandy hook…
Deb
Posted at 8:49 PM on January 14, 2013
The little girl who has her picture with the president after Sandy Hook is Emilie’s sister. She is wearing what used to be Emilie’s dress. I don’t know who the brunette haired kids are, but the blonde girls are Emilie’s sisters. They look a lot alike.

Have you ever lost anyone horrifically? I ask because I had half of my family of four wiped out in one tragic accident. People mentioned I was very composed and smiled on que. I was courteous and consoling others. This is shock and the human mind coping. I honestly remember very little after being told my family was gone. I don’t remember being so composed. I remember bits and pieces. That is the minds way of surviving. I’m sure glad no one called me a phony for smiling, laughing at an odd moment instead of being a crying mess all the time. You have no choice but to carry on when still in shock and you have to deal with things. The falling apart for many of us comes later in private when we are not running on pure adrenaline. Then it is a very bad place to be.

No he wouldn’t. Do you realize how scattered and fractured your mind is after something like this? I read for the eulogy of my loved ones funerals. I completely hid from the press after my loved ones horrific tragedy that made national news. This father didn’t. . Had i wanted to speak to the press i guarantee I would have had what i wanted to say written down. Also after a tragedy one is very likely also getting zero to no sleep for days on end,.

I was thinking the same thing .. Secondly why are THEY all over the news ? Obama all smiles with the surviving Parker family and incredibly one daughter was wearing the same dress in the Obama photo as in the Parker family photo which Emilie was wearing.. The girl looked identical too .. What is going on ? Something is not right about this case.. I was struck by the lack of Ambulances at the School that Morning and the video of the cops removing the AR-15 that was allegedly used out of the trunk of Adam’s Mother’s Car..
Ambulances were not needed, everyone was dead
She’s such a freaking cute 6 year old princess, i starting bawling my eyes out. RIP little miss beauty x

Hilarious. we have killed more with our weapons than they ahve with their domestic attacks, about 5000X more by most studies. and they are entitled to kill their own when they arent doing anything to us. at most we have lost 3000 on 911 and that was at the hands of a few saudis. how many iraqi and afghans have we killed you ignorant cow? beside sandy hook was fake so its irrelevant

Since 1945 the USA has been involved in 33 sustained Military conflicts offensively (They started it) Vietnam and Cambodia(Cambodia were neutral) accounted for 3 Million dead ..During the US Oil for food program in Iraq 500.000 Children starved to death.. subsequent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have accounted for roughly 2.5-3 Million lives .. If you add North Korea and the other wars (Chile, Panama, Somalia,etc)the total loss of lives due to US offensive actions runs into the tens of millions .. Add to the fact that most of those conflicts were CIA secret wars and the others started illegally or by false flag (gulf of Tonkin) what you are faced with is a country that is basically a terrorist state..

Americans have no control over what the government does!!!! We r ashamed at the slaughter that happens around the world due to the elite powers trying to conquer it. As an American I can promise u that we do not feel it is ok to kill ppl! We r told lies everyday and our government tries to persuade us to think its for our own good. Don’t hate Americans because of what our government does, it’s not our fault. Me along many many others feel there is evil corruption at power, you should know this. Why haven’t Americans stood up to the evil corruption? Because we r scared. If we stand up, we die or simply disappear. I’m and just as upset at this as I am about us doing the same thing in other countries. Why do u label all Americans as some kinda heartless people? You give ME a break. Day to day life in America might be better than other places but we still live in one big lie. Your comment is pregidise and it is the same pregidise that our government has instude to us about “terrorist”. Don’t be another “dumb redneck”, as we say in America, know your facts before you go on a hating spree.

Where the hell did you get this picture I want to know where the F you got this. Look closely FOOLS, the daughter on his right knee has no legs. Look closely fools at the crawls the father exposures. Look closely fools at the sign of the devil as the little girl sucks her fingers. Granted most of you probably are clueless about devils signs ( they are doing it right in front of you) but look at the girls legs on the fathers right knee she has no legs, look closely. And also look at the girl sucking her fingers, makeing the devils horns, but also how her thumb is attached. WHERE DID YOU GET THIS PICTURE!!!!!!
