Our side needs to start protesting in front of pharmaceutical companies that make the drugs a lot of these kids are on.
Yes, protesting pharmaceutical companies might help shift blame. But the big problem is that people think conspiracy theories are crazy, even when they are staring them in the face.
That is an excellent idea, Vince.
Many of these shooters have been on dangerous prescription drugs of one kind or another.
Why would you protest in front of the pharmaceutical companies?
The company does not prescribe the drug to the patient, nor do they monitor the patient while on the drugs...
Drug prescribing and dosing for various mental illnesses is tricky—parents and physicians need to be vigilant in monitoring patient to make sure patient is responding positively with necessary adjustments to prescriptions as needed.
Properly prescribed and dosed, they can allow normalcy for people with mental illness.
In the case of the Florida shooter, it was stated he was in a facility at one point and a relative said he was on a prescription drug at some point. IMHO it would be interesting to see a report of a drugs in his system at arrest, etc. analysis and find out if he actually had been taking his meds...
Having worked at a rehab facility where one of my clients was a woman who was a paranoid schizophrenic who shot her husband, I can say from personal experience that she was Jekyll/Hyde...she was reasonable/docile as could be AS LONG AS SHE WAS ON HER MEDS...but when she did not take them, she “snapped” as she would described it and became a very scary lady...
Mental health is clearly a problem in all these cases, but I am not sure pharma company culpability isn’t somewhat misplaced.
(I don’t own any pharma stock nor do I work for a pharma company.)
It’s the skrewel systems that put boys onto these drugs, to keep them pacified. Obviously not working in some cases.
