Adam Lanza wore earplugs, rapidly changed clips, shot up cars in parking lot: report
NY Daily News ^ | 1/7/13 | PHILIP CAULFIELD

Posted on 01/07/2013 2:34:19 PM PST by jimbo123

Investigators puzzled by why Sandy Hook gunman Adam Lanza wore earplugs during the massacre if he knew he was going to kill himself. Separately, evidence shows Lanza reloaded his weapon before the magazines were spent, leading to questions about whether he was influenced by the first-person shooter games he spent hours playing.

ALL the kid killers were on psychoactive drugs... with the blessing of idiot liberals who see mind mucking drugs as ‘the answer’...

Does Obama understand that?

Guns have been with us for hundreds of years... schools for thousands.

Psychoactive drugs came into being right around the time crazed kids started mass killings.

The practice of re-loading before being out is, IMO, video game influenced if not conditioned.

Reloading before being out is basic gunfight survival.

So now wearing earplugs whie shooting a gun is proof positive that a person is going to kill himself? If anything, this is proof positive that liberals are stupid AND crazy.

We’re never going to know the real details of this one.

I agree, and it really sucks.

How do you go through life not being able to believe anything?

I'm thinking that is the point, constant division and questioning of events....aka divide and conquer.

***************************************************************

From the link:

Columbine mass-killer Eric Harris was taking Luvox – like Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Effexor and many others, a modern and widely prescribed type of antidepressant drug called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs. Harris and fellow student Dylan Klebold went on a hellish school shooting rampage in 1999 during which they killed 12 students and a teacher and wounded 24 others before turning their guns on themselves.Luvox manufacturer Solvay Pharmaceuticals concedes that during short-term controlled clinical trials, 4 percent of children and youth taking Luvox – that’s 1 in 25 – developed mania, a dangerous and violence-prone mental derangement characterized by extreme excitement and delusion.
Patrick Purdy went on a schoolyard shooting rampage in Stockton, Calif., in 1989, which became the catalyst for the original legislative frenzy to ban “semiautomatic assault weapons” in California and the nation. The 25-year-old Purdy, who murdered five children and wounded 30, had been on Amitriptyline, an antidepressant, as well as the antipsychotic drug Thorazine.
Kip Kinkel, 15, murdered his parents in 1998 and the next day went to his school, Thurston High in Springfield, Ore., and opened fire on his classmates, killing two and wounding 22 others. He had been prescribed both Prozac and Ritalin.
In 1988, 31-year-old Laurie Dann went on a shooting rampage in a second-grade classroom in Winnetka, Ill., killing one child and wounding six. She had been taking the antidepressant Anafranil as well as Lithium, long used to treat mania.
In Paducah, Ky., in late 1997, 14-year-old Michael Carneal, son of a prominent attorney, traveled to Heath High School and started shooting students in a prayer meeting taking place in the school’s lobby, killing three and leaving another paralyzed. Carneal reportedly was on Ritalin.
In 2005, 16-year-old Native American Jeff Weise, living on Minnesota’s Red Lake Indian Reservation, shot and killed nine people and wounded five others before killing himself. Weise had been taking Prozac.
In another famous case, 47-year-old Joseph T. Wesbecker, just a month after he began taking Prozac in 1989, shot 20 workers at Standard Gravure Corp. in Louisville, Ky., killing nine. Prozac-maker Eli Lilly later settled a lawsuit brought by survivors.
Kurt Danysh, 18, shot his own father to death in 1996, a little more than two weeks after starting on Prozac. Danysh’s description of own his mental-emotional state at the time of the murder is chilling: “I didn’t realize I did it until after it was done,” Danysh said. “This might sound weird, but it felt like I had no control of what I was doing, like I was left there just holding a gun.”
John Hinckley, age 25, took four Valium two hours before shooting and almost killing President Ronald Reagan in 1981. In the assassination attempt, Hinckley also wounded press secretary James Brady, Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy and policeman Thomas Delahanty.
Andrea Yates, in one of the most heartrending crimes in modern history, drowned all five of her children – aged 7 years down to 6 months – in a bathtub. Insisting inner voices commanded her to kill her children, she had become increasingly psychotic over the course of several years. At her 2006 murder re-trial (after a 2002 guilty verdict was overturned on appeal), Yates’ longtime friend Debbie Holmes testified: “She asked me if I thought Satan could read her mind and if I believed in demon possession.” And Dr. George Ringholz, after evaluating Yates for two days, recounted an experience she had after the birth of her first child: “What she described was feeling a presence … Satan … telling her to take a knife and stab her son Noah,” Ringholz said, adding that Yates’ delusion at the time of the bathtub murders was not only that she had to kill her children to save them, but that Satan had entered her and that she had to be executed in order to kill Satan.Yates had been taking the antidepressant Effexor. In November 2005, more than four years after Yates drowned her children, Effexor manufacturer Wyeth Pharmaceuticals quietly added “homicidal ideation” to the drug’s list of “rare adverse events.” The Medical Accountability Network, a private nonprofit focused on medical ethics issues, publicly criticized Wyeth, saying Effexor’s “homicidal ideation” risk wasn’t well-publicized and that Wyeth failed to send letters to doctors or issue warning labels announcing the change.And what exactly does “rare” mean in the phrase “rare adverse events”? The FDA defines it as occurring in less than one in 1,000 people. But since that same year 19.2 million prescriptions for Effexor were filled in the U.S., statistically that means thousands of Americans might experience “homicidal ideation” – murderous thoughts – as a result of taking just this one brand of antidepressant drug.Effexor is Wyeth’s best-selling drug, by the way, which in one recent year brought in over $3 billion in sales, accounting for almost a fifth of the company’s annual revenues.
One more case is instructive, that of 12-year-old Christopher Pittman, who struggled in court to explain why he murdered his grandparents, who had provided the only love and stability he’d ever known in his turbulent life. “When I was lying in my bed that night,” he testified, “I couldn’t sleep because my voice in my head kept echoing through my mind telling me to kill them.” Christopher had been angry with his grandfather, who had disciplined him earlier that day for hurting another student during a fight on the school bus. So later that night, he shot both of his grandparents in the head with a .410 shotgun as they slept and then burned down their South Carolina home, where he had lived with them.”I got up, got the gun, and I went upstairs and I pulled the trigger,” he recalled. “Through the whole thing, it was like watching your favorite TV show. You know what is going to happen, but you can’t do anything to stop it.”Pittman’s lawyers would later argue that the boy had been a victim of “involuntary intoxication,” since his doctors had him taking the antidepressants Paxil and Zoloft just prior to the murders.Paxil’s known “adverse drug reactions” – according to the drug’s FDA-approved label – include “mania,” “insomnia,” “anxiety,” “agitation,” “confusion,” “amnesia,” “depression,” “paranoid reaction,” “psychosis,” “hostility,” “delirium,” “hallucinations,” “abnormal thinking,” “depersonalization” and “lack of emotion,” among others.The preceding examples are only a few of the best-known offenders who had been taking prescribed psychiatric drugs before committing their violent crimes – there are many others.

I used to have an AR15 that I couldn’t shoot without wearing ear plugs. I used to shoot a 9mm, 30-30, 30-06, .243 and a 6.5x55 and never had pain issues like I did with the AR.

Hi Bryan, thanks for your post. I recently heard that the full expression is: “If you aren’t shooting, you are moving! If you are not moving, you are re-loading! If you aren’t reloading, you are DEAD!!!!”

I agree, every shooting school I’ve been to stresses the necessity for tactical re-loads during lulls. I would be interested in where the non-depleted mags were found. In his pockets/vest, or on the ground?

The loudest rifle I ever shot was an AR15 with 16” barrel and muzzle brake.

How about all the kids on prescription meds that aren't committing mass murders?

The long gun remained in the trunk of his car and WAS NOT USED IN THE CRIME!!!!!!

It was a shotgun in the trunk. Medical Examiner says the kids were killed by .223 rounds. Or is the ME part of some nefarious conspiracy?

You’ll know exactly what drugs he was on, as soon as the autopsy report and toxicology screenings are released to the public. There are no medical privacy laws for corpses.

Agree with you two as usual yet all 435 reps and 100 senators can be monitored at .....

http://thomas.loc.gov/home/thomas.php

It takes some work but we only have to really watch 193 seditious rat polidiots in the house and 53 traitors in the senate very close.....

Damn the presstitutes version of any event. Trust in the media is officially zero in my world. I’ll read the fiction yet look up legislative works myself.

I hit the Thomas site once a week to look at bills introduced, sponsored etc ...

Me too. It would indicate if he had an IDPA (practical) or IPSC (gamer) mindset.

That’s not true, you’re repeating rumors that were debunked weeks ago. The gun in the car was not the AR-15. It turned out to be a shotgun, I believe. He took the AR-15 into the school, and it was the only weapon he fired during the crime.

And might that just have to do with the fact that mentally ill people who are likely to do such violence may be receiving (inadequate) treatment?

Yes, SSRIs can have very bad side effects, but how many instances out of 100,000 does it happen? All pharmaceuticals, from Ibuprofen to Viagra are about an “acceptable level” of such cases.

I personally blame the leftists making forced institutionalization next to impossible, because mentally ill people have a “right” to be crazy.

WHAT MEDS WAS THE KILLER ON??????

No, no. It is much more important to these morons to know why he wore earplugs than WHY he might have shot those kids.

(It's obvious he wore them so he wouldn't show up in hell deaf.)
