The father of the Sandy Hook killer searches for answers. - The New Yorker

Mr. Lanza comes across as cold and hard as ice. And to say that he can't still mourn the little boy his son Adam once was is unbelievable. Even Jeffery Dahmer's father still loved him after all was said and done.

Some quotes from Peter Lanza from this article:

“I’m not dealing with it,” he said. Later, he added, “You can’t mourn for the little boy he once was. You can’t fool yourself.”

“You can’t get any more evil,” and added, “How much do I beat up on myself about the fact that he’s my son? A lot.”

“Asperger’s makes people unusual, but it doesn’t make people like this,” he said, and expressed the view that the condition “veiled a contaminant” that was not Asperger’s"

“With hindsight, I know Adam would have killed me in a heartbeat, if he’d had the chance. I don’t question that for a minute. The reason he shot Nancy four times was one for each of us: one for Nancy; one for him; one for Ryan; one for me.”
