MODS: If this is a duplicate, please remove.

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.

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.

>>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...

There could be something to that. Drugs do alter chemistry. But I would also like to know how many of them got dumped in day care from infancy?

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.

How can shootings not have guns in common? Logic fail.

But the addition of the drug angle is plausible.

It's important that this article be brought up again. The media has squelched all reference to what we already know. Since these drugs are still being prescribed, and now across all age groups, the threat of violence from their use will never go away. Those mind-killing "meds" are also behind some of those veteran's suicides, I suspect.

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.
