Washington (CNN) -- Authorities investigating why a Connecticut woman rammed barricades and led police on a chase near the U.S. Capitol found medications in her apartment to treat schizophrenia and other mental disorders, a law enforcement source briefed on the investigation said Friday

I guess after reading the comments on the various threads relating to this story, I am feeling a bit cynical.

How many posts before someone claims the meds were planted in a CYA move?

The conspiracy theories on these threads have been wackier than I have ever seen.

About the only connection with current events that I can see is that Obama has raised tensions in this country so high that it has created an environment that encourages the insane to act out in a violent way. People with mental problems, especially schizophrenics, are very sensitive to their environment, and certainly being in an unstable, angry environment (the contemporary US) is going to push many of them over the edge from just fantasizing to acting out.

Every single one of the recent mass attacks - except the Boston bombing and a couple of other smaller Muslim attacks - has involved a mentally ill person.

Your meds. Don’t leave home without them.

Seriously, meds are not as effective as the drug industry and psychiatrists have led us to believe. Schizophrenics should be institutionalized. We don’t need more cops or gun control. We need more nutter control.

Mystery boyfriend is father ping!

“Carey’s boyfriend contacted police in December saying he feared for the safety of their child, who was 4 months old at the time, according to a law enforcement source involved in the investigation. The boyfriend said the woman was acting delusional, claiming the president had placed Stamford under lockdown and that her house was under electronic surveillance, the source said.

He told police that she was suffering from post-partum depression, was having trouble sleeping and was on medication. Carey underwent a mental health evaluation, said the source, who added that the boyfriend has been questioned by federal authorities about Thursday’s events.
The source told CNN that Carey left a letter addressed to the boyfriend at her apartment and that it appeared to contain white powder. The letter was being tested for hazardous substances.”

If she had been white and a member of the Tea Party the press wouldn’t give a hoot about any ‘meds’ in her home. We would hear about any organizations she belonged to, any political comments she had made - and if she went to church or not...

For the record I don’t think the meds were planted.

The press isn’t saying the meds ‘caused’ her erratic behavior - they’re offing the meds as an excuse. But your point is well taken - all the mass killers were on brain mucking meds...

Doesn’t help when these mentally ill people are reading real articles in the paper that the government really IS spying on everyone either. It actually confirms some of their paranoia and delusions. So does watching our militarized police forces taking over cities(Boston Bombers).

“He told police that she was suffering from post-partum depression, was having trouble sleeping and was on medication.”

Yeah, she told the boyfriend it was post-partum *depression* but it was probably more like post-partum *psychosis* or worse.

What I would like to see is a graph showing how many women are on schizophrenia meds out of the general populace.

I know women who have to carry their ‘meds’ around in a bag, due to having ten to twenty different ‘prescriptions’.

My mother was on schizo meds, she never tried to kill anyone.
Not even me, when I deserved it.

It appears this woman bumped into a ‘barricade’ post, and perhaps upon seeing the security guard, panicked.

IMHO, everything after that was a Benny Hill routine with cops who were in a ‘panic’ executing this woman (has anyone checked their meds?). Now, the MSM and WH are trying to cover it up. The cover up is getting interesting, don’t you think ?

My experience with a family member’s mental illness (bipolar disorder) is very different from what you have stated.

As long as she was on the meds, no problems. Skip a day or two, forget about it. Psychosis followed in short order, and then hospitalization to get her blood chemistry fixed.
