It's doubtless true that 100% of mass murderers drank milk as children, but that means nothing unless you also know what percentage of milk-drinkers went on to become mass murderers.

True. But on the flip side, if we know that 20% of a population subset is on anti-depressants, but 90% of events are caused by people on anti-depressants, that is meaningful, and at least invites further study.

materialist science is part of the problem. you hear mental health advocates as useful stooges say “it’s not you, it’s your brain...we have to get rid of the stigma attached to mental illness”....but they seem not to understand that the scientists don’t believe in mental. they believe everything can be reduced to brain chemistry....which is not mental at all....it’s physical......so you get science’s version of Original Sin with no redemption, except submission and control of subhumans by humans.....in other words “You ARE your brain & your brain is defective, therefore YOU ARE DEFECTIVE....(but it’s not your fault)”. so whose fault is it? God’s? or you parents. Hopeless kids in in the mental health materialist system trap wanting to lash out an an unfair world which says they are fundamentally flawed. Plus the drugs themselves have side effects of causing suicidal and homicidal ideation.......You can’t get a brain transplant if your brain is defective. so one kid worships Satan....another kid kills his mother......others want to kill themselves but be remembered as marytr for some cause first....or as just plain bad.

but the 20 per cent are troubled and medication is an option as treatment.

An interesting question is how many more violent events would happen without medication?
