Mass killings lead the headlines much more than they used to. Schools, theaters, churches, and other places where people gather peacefully have become killing fields more and more frequently over the past few years. The gun control crowd — never to miss an opportunity — claims that guns are the problem. More guns means more mass killings. Less guns would mean fewer killings. It's simple, they say. There are a couple of problems with that "simple" theory, though. For one thing, some of these recent attacks have not involved guns. In those cases, the tools of death were knives, cars, bats, or whatever else was handy. For another thing, guns have been used to stop some attacks, though mainstream media rarely report that. So, if the aggressive use of guns is not the common denominator, what is? More and more evidence is pointing to use of drugs, particularly the kind psychiatrists and medical doctors prescribe for depression and anxiety.

Ya think?
Gee, ya think?
Some may have started out crazy enough to kill by themselves, but a lot of these drugs seem to be “amplifiers” in certain individuals in certain cases.
I do believe this is true. Is there proof?
And for the next study: Does a bear poop in the woods?
Is it the drugs or the fact that these folks have serious mental problems who commit these crimes. Additionally how many of these folks were NOT taking their drugs?
Each one of these young men were trained in the public school system in their most formative years and were exposed to amoral critical thinking skills.
Each one developed amoral aspects to their thinking before they hit puberty.
At some point they "decide" to kill others they way their critical thinking skills taught them.
Drugs just helped to kick it all into gear.
Correlation does NOT mean cause and effect.
NO SH_T?
What did this round of drivel cost the taxpayer?
The part I have yet to mention is GMO and the effects it has on the Human body.
Pharma is tangentially involved as they are masking or in most cases creating the core issue, but there is a much deeper secret being kept...
The human body decodes genetic information and other signals from what we eat, and particularly in Pharma they use a pliable molecule like Benzene to “simulate” the real thing
When the human body “decodes” the info not everyone decodes it identically as their body tries to reconcile this new thing. This is one of the main causations of “side effects” experienced by many. As to GMO there are similar carry throughs that occur, like RoundUp by Monsanto. You can spray it on their plants and they survive but the product is still inside the plant...
When you eat the plant is not that going in as well??
When you accumulate an oversupply of these elements your body freaks out, especially if you are taking a Psych med or any med that messes with brain chemicals, their favorite playground...
The combinations coupled with our genetic make up differences means that it is not a linear response to stimuli, but enough to warrant money spent “curing” something they themselves created...
My dearly departed sister, a brilliant woman shared all of her research with me before she died...
Multiple myeloma and Kidney failure,and she lived the purest life you can imagine...
Yeah, this is personal
However, talking about confiscating Evil Guns from normal, law-abiding non-whackjob peasants is OK.
I dunno. The piles of dead bodies?
Yup, add to that certain drugs that don’t fully break down and are excreted via urine and then find their way back into food and water downstream!
Yes and Estrogen in Milk causing feminization of Males...
I was involved in a road rage incident about a decade ago. The guy who I enraged because I passed his stolen car which was going about one mile per hour was a paroled violent con.
He put my car and another car out of commission by ramming us repeatedly. He was eventually chased and shot to death by some county cops after rolling his second stolen car and charging the cops with a butcher knife.
It turned out he had left his family without notice and gone off the drugs he was supposed to take to control his insane rages. So it wasn't because he took a drug and became violent. He was a person to whom they gave drugs to try and control his violent rages.
After that horrendous adventure with the insane it surprises me you are here at FR. :)
But, seriously, so glad you survived. God Bless.
And the ones that don’t commit crimes become liberal Democrats.
That’s what I wonder. Is it the drug or the underlying condition? Apparently there are plenty of people taking the medication without any ill effects as well as plenty of killers without antidepressants.
Add to this the increasing number of young people who have attempted or committed suicide while on these drugs.
I don’t understand why this isn’t a health crisis of the highest order. Actually, I do.
It’s called, “Follow the money.”
