Once upon a time, an Oregon sheriff believed in all sorts of weird conspiracy theories, including that the grief of Sandy Hook parents was acting. Then it was his turn to cope with a school massacre. From Mother Jones:

The video makes a number of conspiratorial claims, including about there being more than one shooter and that the grieving parents who appeared on news reports were acting. The sheriff … is also an avid guns rights supporter and a possible member of the Oath Keepers, a group that claims to be upholding their oath to defend the Constitution from any perceived threats—such as expanded gun control.”
