Sandy Hook dad to UCSB dad: ‘You are now part of our extended family’

Yahoo News – by Dylan Stableford

The distraught father of one of the University of California, Santa Barbara, shooting victims — who blamed his son’s death on the inability of lawmakers to act in the wake of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School — got a special message from a father of one of the Newtown, Conn., victims welcoming him to an unwanted club.

“Dear Richard Martinez,” the letter posted by Mark Barden to the Sandy Hook Promise Facebook page begins. “We have not met, but you are now part of our extended family. It is not a family we chose, but a family born from the horrible circumstance of losing a child to gun violence — one that’s only growing each day.”  

Martinez says his 20-year-old son, Christopher, was killed in Friday’s massacre in Isla Vista, Calif.; Barden’s 7-year-old son, Daniel, was killed in the 2012 massacre in Newtown.

“My heart breaks for you because I know just a little about the long road ahead of you,” Barden continues. “We have reached out to you privately but publicly we wanted to say to you and those feeling the sorrow, anger and frustration of this [week’s] shooting, you are not alone. It has helped me, and some of the other family members who lost children and family at Sandy Hook Elementary, to come together and advocate for common sense solutions to expanding programs for mental wellness and gun safety solutions.

“You will find your own path down this difficult road,” the letter adds. “But know that we are here for you and all of you who have been touched by this tragedy. Together we can and will build a safer world for all our children.”

In an emotional interview with CNN on Monday, Martinez railed against the National Rifle Association and U.S. Congress for their inaction following the Newtown school shootings.

“My kid died because nobody responded to what occurred at Sandy Hook,” Martinez said. “Those parents lost little kids. It’s bad enough that I lost my 20-year-old, but I had 20 years with my son. That’s all I will ever have, but those people lost their children at 6 and 7 years old. How do you think they feel? And who’s talking to them now? Who’s doing anything for them now?”

In an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Tuesday, Martinez said that members of Congress have reached out to him to express their sympathy but that he doesn’t want to hear it.

“Don’t call me and tell me you’re sorry about my son’s death,” Martinez said. “I don’t want to hear it from you. … I don’t care if you’re sorry about my son’s death. You go back to Congress, and you do something.”

  1. so if both where real and actually happened this statement would make no sense.

    how would the father of a ‘mass murderer’ be in the extended family of the father of a ‘murder victim’?

  2. That friends, is 100% proof that this Santa Barbara event is another hoax.

    When they can get away with faking these events, without the big names in the alternative media jumping all over them, it’s pretty much over.

    “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false”.– William Casey, CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)

  3. The whole FALSE FLAG gang is having a reunion! Gabby Giffords is also calling for GUN CONTROL. They should get the Batman guy, the Sikh Temple guys, the Boston Marathon false flaggers, and really WHOOP IT UP with a CLASS A FALSE FLAG REUNION!!!!!!!!!!!! For good measure, get the 911 & Team 6 guys, and if still alive, the JFK, MLK, & RFK shooters.

  4. OMG….. 🙄

    Well, it looks like this is the bullshit propaganda story to distract people from and overshadow the Bilderberg meeting for the next few days or so.

    1. then they will be needing at least one more very soon. too bad Michal Jackson is dead. that would have work. Is OJ married again? lol

  5. ““Don’t call me and tell me you’re sorry about my son’s death,” Martinez said. “I don’t want to hear it from you. … I don’t care if you’re sorry about my son’s death. You go back to Congress, and you do something.””

    What a friggin’ lunatic. Who the hell let this nutcase out of the asylum?

  6. “Martinez says his 20-year-old son, Christopher, was killed in Friday’s massacre in Isla Vista, Calif.;…”

    So he says.

    I don’t know this clown from Adam.

    Got a body to show us, Dick?

    1. Yes, #1, just like the bodies we never saw at Sandy Hook, etc.
      What a hoax!! And people are lapping it up like you won’t believe.
      Just listen when you are out in public. Amazing!!!

      1. was it true a family chimed up and said that their child was pictured but was alive and lived in another state?

      1. I didn’t, NC.

        Probably would have beat him up if I did, from sound of the ‘profile’ issued (the ‘official’, approved fable).

        That’s assuming he’s real to begin with, naturally. 😉

  7. “You go back to Congress, and you do something.”

    Therein lies the obvious message/propaganda. He’s clearly helping the elite use this event to try and get the people’s support to have Congress pass the same draconian and unconstitutional laws that they didn’t have the support to pass before.

    Unfortunately, these psychopathic idiots will never learn that they can play the same false flag game over and over again and it won’t change the result. We the People WILL NEVER give up our guns nor our Rights. PERIOD!
