Columbine mass-killer Eric Harris was taking Luvox

Patrick Purdy went on a schoolyard shooting rampage in Stockton, California, in 1989 had been on Amitriptyline, an antidepressant, as well as the antipsychotic drug Thorazine.

Kip Kinkel, 15, murdered his parents in 1998 had been prescribed both Prozac and Ritalin

In Paducah, Kentucky, in late 1997, 14-year-old Michael Carneal traveled to Heath High School and started shooting students in a prayer meeting taking place in the school’s lobby, killing three and leaving another paralyzed. Carneal was on Ritalin.

47-year-old Joseph T. Wesbecker, just a month after he began taking Prozac in 1989, shot 20 workers at Standard Gravure Corp. in Louisville, Kentucky, killing nine.

Andrea Yates, in one of the most heartrending crimes in modern history, drowned all five of her children – aged 7 years down to 6 months – in a bathtub. Yates had been taking the antidepressant Effexor.

For a serious conversation . . . search for shooters and start relating mental condition and drug use.

It doesn’t fit their agenda since most MSM reporters are also on prescription drugs.

Anti-psychotic drugs and anti-depressants have helped to improve the quality of life for millions.

But for some individuals they may have serious side effects and such individuals need to be closely monitored.

The first rule of medicine is do no harm. Its high time it was followed.

People on psychiatric drugs should not have guns, nor be around them, or other weapons. Probably should be institutionalized while under treatment. This is a medical problem that was not address and has nothing to do with guns.

“Andrea Yates, in one of the most heartrending crimes in modern history, drowned all five of her children – aged 7 years down to 6 months – in a bathtub. Yates had been taking the antidepressant Effexor.”


The back story about Andrea Yates’ life also had a lot to do with it-——you can’t blame ONLY the drug .

Back in the ‘90s there was a HUGE controversy over giving the little tykes Ritalin to keep them “composed.” We’re probably seeing the results of that.

I’m sorry but other obvious points missed are ...

1) We have students older than 18, still in grade school, mixed in with mostly younger ones. Once 18, there is not parental ability to control student/child. Legally child can’t be controlled by either parent.

2) At age 18 in many states a person at age 18, can legally purchase a firearm, no parent or guardian has to be in the loop. And yet, today’s school systems want him in class with the minor children. WRONG !!

Sorry, if one can legally get a gun at age 18, then I DON’T WANT that individual in school with minors. PERIOD.

As a grandparent I realize that there are some things I just don’t want to know.:-)

Is it possible that these people were being groomed to do what they did?

If I had been a kid then I probably would have been filled with this stuff! I was a case!

Mom hated the people where we lived so much she would feed us kids chocolate gravy on bread, then release us on the school all hype up!

Based on my experience mentally unstable people are notorious for not taking their prescribed medications.

They express their mental instability in other ways. But like the school shooter, they do things to get attention thinking it will validate them.

Seriously? You take from this story that the blame is ONLY the drug?

You are better than that.
