To me the story is that the gunman was yet another apparent psychiatric patient that went off his meds.
I was wondering about this this morning while listening to the NIU news conference. We hear a lot about how these 'crazies' are off some medication or another. What I wondered was, is it the fact they've gone off the medication allowing them to return to their pre-medicated state, or that the drugs alter their mental state to such a degree that when removed they no longer have the cognitive skills necessary to function?
“To me the story is that the gunman was yet another apparent psychiatric patient that went off his meds.”
Fair enough ... except that’s not a much better story than “the madman bought his guns off the Internet!” Tell me, do you really want Our Friendly Government *mandating* that you must take your prescribed meds, with the option to lock you up if you don’t?
It’s all for your own good, you know....
The real question is...what was his DU screen name? Add it up...a Soc major - is there anyone in any Soc program that isn't a raving moonbat? - and a 'former student' (i.e., another drop-out lefty, never finishing what they start), who apparently went off his meds. What's the second most discussed topic on DU, after "I HATE BushChimpyHalliHitler" ad nauseaum? Long, rambling discussions about their meds. I would make tons of money betting, after hearing about a killing rampage, that the killer is A) a Muzzie, B) a lefty moonbat, or C) a Hoodie. Killers who aren't in those three categories are pretty rare - which might explain Greta's obsession with those cases, thinking that rarity = newsworthiness.
