Regular webpage, 2nd paragraph:

Christopher Pittman used a shotgun to shoot his grandparents Joe and Joy Pittman, and then set fire to their home in 2001. During his trial four years later, Pittman's attorneys unsuccessfully argued the slayings were influenced by the antidepressant Zoloft - a charge the maker of the drug vigorously denied.

Although there was a denial in the media that the omaha shooter was on SSRIs, you cannot mass a mass killing of strangers in America in the last 30 years in which the killer wasn’t on these drugs.

This subject is in dispute but the science is far more solid than anything having to do with global warming. Even the Bush FDA (not exactly an industry unfriendly group) put a warning label on SSRIs for kids because they cause....wait for it.....wait for it.....suicidal and homicidal ideation. For laypeople, ideation means that you have thoughts of something which were not previously occurring.

At what point are these chemical shotguns going to get banned, at least for children? (Its a shotgun because it has no way of knowing where it goes and covers all receptors whether they are unhealthy or not.)
