He has a dry sense of humor.Īnyway, he made some progress with people, the people who weren't full blown deniers, who actually wanted help parsing out the truth of what really happened. When a bunch of people kept private messaging him, Lenny thought, 'you know what? I'll just start my own Facebook group.' He called it 'Conspiracy Theorists Anonymous.' This name was meant as a joke. What's remarkable is just how up for this whole fight he was. So he started blocking people and fighting back. I entertained that we didn't go to the moon.' But it didn't work. I used to argue with people about 9/11 being an inside job. Lenny was trying everything to keep up a rapport with them, even told them 'I listen to Alex Jones in my car. Some of the members started using anti-Semitic slurs. The conversation on this Facebook group quickly got ugly and abusive. He was not the kind of guy who sat around and complained about how something didn't work.

Lenny got consumed with thinking about how to take control of the situation, how to extract Noah and his family from all this. He couldn't just leave them out there on the web with the trolls. Wrote 'fake' across Noah's face, took a picture of his headstone and photoshopped under his name, 'is not buried here.' Photos of his daughters were circulating, too. The Sandy Hook deniers downloaded them, and repurposed them into cruel memes. Lenny's got tons of family photos like these, posted them in an online memorial he made for Noah right after he died. He's snuggling his whole body into Lenny's chest. It's spring, and Noah has all this big, brown hair, fat cheeks. He's got a walrus mustache, and he's kneeling on a trampoline with a soft smile. There's this photo I love of Lenny, with his arm wrapped around Noah. And then, as Lenny explained to one of my co-workers, Miki Meek, the guy mentions the kid's name- Noah Pozner. 'Did he die twice?' 'Did he die at all?' So the guy at the bar with Lenny is rattling through all this Pakistan stuff. Sandy Hook deniers saw that in the coverage, and they pounced. And there was a public vigil, and at the public vigil, probably as a sign of solidarity with other kids who had died in school shootings, mourners had this photo of a boy from Sandy Hook, smiling and wearing a Spider-Man shirt under a corduroy jacket with a furry collar. The Taliban gunned down more than 100 kids there. And what happened in Pakistan was, in reality, about two years after Sandy Hook. In the corners of the internet where people trade Sandy Hook conspiracy stories, this is a key piece of evidence that Sandy Hook was not real. It had to be fake, he said, because one of those first graders also showed up as a victim in a second mass shooting, all the way over in Pakistan.

This random stranger then started telling Lenny this particular story about Sandy Hook. Sandy Hook, of course, where a gunman killed 20 children, all in first grade, as well as seven adults.
