Manasquan, NJ - Nearly every mass shooting incident in the last twenty years, and multiple other instances of suicide and isolated shootings all share one thing in common, and its not the weapons used.
The overwhelming evidence suggests the single largest common factor in all of these incidents is that all of the perpetrators were either actively taking powerful psychotropic drugs or had been at some point in the immediate past before they committed their crimes.
Multiple credible scientific studies going back more then a decade, as well as internal documents from certain pharmaceutical companies that suppressed the information show that SSRI drugs ( Selective Serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitors ) have well known, but unreported side effects, including but not limited to suicide and other violent behavior. One need only Google relevant key words or phrases to see for themselves. www.ssristories.com is one popular site that has documented over 4500 “ Mainstream Media “ reported cases from around the World of aberrant or violent behavior by those taking these powerful drugs…
…On to the list of mass shooters and the stark link to psychotropic drugs.

Those focusing on further firearms bans or magazine restrictions are clearly focusing on the wrong issue and asking the wrong questions, either as a deliberate attempt to hide these links, or out of complete and utter ignorance.
I saw this article and was fascinated because the media, for some reason, has decided to ignore this fact and place the blame on firearms instead.
Who would have guessed? Crazy Drugs make people CRAZY!!!

Search is your friend.
The ones not on drugs (and many on them) were almost all liberals.
A huge percentage of them were also leftists or children of leftist.
You win.
>>Search is your friend.<<
The FR search is not much of a friend. It leaves me high and dry more often than not and then laughs behind my back when my duplicate thread gets pulled.
It is a friend in the “Positively 4th Street” mold...
This crap did not go on 30 years ago. I am not totally dumping on daycare. But, when we were kids, we were taught impulse control by our stay at home moms.
re: Search is your friend.
The freerepublic search engine, IMO, is close to worthless. I have wasted more time searching with it than actually finding articles that I know for sure are there.
But Prozac does carry a warning about suicidal thoughts in adolescents. That age group, along with a few people from their twenties, are the other thing these people all have in common.
I quit taking Lexapro when I realized not only was it not helping, and had put at least thirty pounds on me, it had me so numb I couldn’t cry at my brother’s funeral.
Seems to have worked for me.
How can shootings not have guns in common? Logic fail.
But the addition of the drug angle is plausible.
Youre special.
True.
Some people who can't handle what the drugs have done to their minds take a gun to themselves instead of other people, I suspect.
“Who would have guessed? Crazy Drugs make people CRAZY!!!”
Speaking of crazy drugs, don’t you just love the TV commercials for all those scarey drugs? They show happy people with butterflies, green meadows, blue skies, fluffy clouds, puppy dogs, etc. Then the latter half of those commercials are filled with all the legal disclaimers and warnings. “This drug may not be for everyone. Discontinue use and call your doctor if any of the following occur: rash, dizziness, disorientation, nausea, vomiting, suicidal thoughts, murderous impulses, body parts falling off, or death.”
I recall one commercial that mentioned death twice! Who would want to ingest such things?

I usually retort that I would rather live with the original illness....
Bad skin, I can live with, death, i cannot...
The other commonality among mass shootings is that they always occur in a “Gun Free Zone”, aka “killing field”.
Thirty years ago, kids were also disciplined by teachers in schools rather than given chemical lobotomies. I've talked to some teachers who tell me that about 1/4 of the boys in any given middle school class are on Ritalin or worse.
