Did you tell her we don't know the guy was crazy?
Did you tell her "The state should iunstitutionalize more people?
Did you tell her, that in General, kids go to school, just fine.

If you're talking to me, no, I didn't tell my mother any of those things (not that I understand the second thing you posted). My mother was a judge for 21 years and presided over cases of all kinds, including many murders, rapes, and similar instances of mayhem. She and I recently (successfully) defended a first-degree murder defendant together. I wouldn't presume to talk down to her about issues like this and I'd suggest you not do so either.
It sounds clear (as is obvious from his behavior) that Adam Lanza was mentally ill - see, e.g., http://gma.yahoo.com/connecticut-sh...-not-well-182011729--abc-news-topstories.html. Yes, generally, kids go to school "just fine," but they didn't today, at one school. Instead, 20 of them were murdered by a crazy person with at least 3 guns and a flak vest. I'd rather he had ended up in an institution until he could be treated to protect others from his mental illness.
