I am sorry for the families in South Carolina, St LouiS, Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia, New York, Houston etc. sad loss for over 100 this week!!
Just as many gun owners don’t commit mass killings, the majority of people on suboxone or other drugs don’t commit mass killings.
The killing is the problem. Not the drugs. Do you really think that if we ban all psychiatric drugs that mass shootings will stop? Could it be that these people are crazy enough that even anti-psychotic medications can’t stop them from being psychotic?
Despite all our best efforts, when you have a populace as large as we have, some outliers are going to pop up and do abnormal things. Do you think an anthill never has an ant that goes off the rails and doesn’t do what it is supposed to? Maybe even kills a few ants? Chimpanzees kill other animals all the time. Baboons are violent violent creatures. We can’t stop all deranged individuals in our society, whether it be from banning guns or drugs or any other convenient scapegoat we can come up with. In a society with billions of individuals, some of them are going to be defective in a way that affects other individuals.
More guns, or metal detectors in more public places will probably be a better fix than trying to pinpoint ways that the outliers may cause harm.
If this particular church had had a metal detector at the door, this probably wouldn’t have occurred within its doors. Would he have maybe sat outside and picked them off instead? Highly likely. Would more guns among the innocent have helped? Most likely, but who knows, panic may have occurred and more people might have ended up dead.
Horrific shit is going to happen. It’s the nature of a planet with billions of people on it.
What was the dad thinking, to buy a .45 for a kid like this?
I was on pain meds because of post stroke pain. I knew the doctor i was seeing was in a stage of dementia but i was too lazy to go somewhere else.
He gave me oxycodone and subutex together!!! that is one of the most dangerous combination there is. It ripped my head and body apart. Made the stroke symptoms 20 times worse and I have never been the same.
It’s a synthetic drug and I had the WRONG doctor. I have NEVER been addicted to anything but food. He told me taking them together would help the pain alot.
Medical board of NY found him not guilty. DO NOT ask me how.
he altered my life forever.
Was he proscribed the suboxone? Or did he hunt it down by himself? That wasn’t clear to me and sorry, if the articles stated so and I missed it. I did read it called “pharmaceutical”.
Psychotic. He tells people in a church that he is killing them because they were raping white woman. That is about as screwed up as a human brain could get.
He’s mad about American males of African descent raping American females of European descent......so he kills six women?
He’s so outraged that he sits in the church for an hour before he starts shooting?
He’s so stupid that he flunks in school, but he knows about Rhodesia and wears a Rhodesian patch?
Strange.
read the comments on the CBS source site
I cannot find the article but, I read somewhere today that 31 of the most recent mass killings have been committed by persons on psychiatric drugs. And that psychiatrists tell LE to hide that from the public in fear that those on the drugs may stop using them.
We know that Obama and his followers should not be surprised that they have unleashed the crazies with their racist refusal to say anything about blacks murdering everyone in sight but bashing every cop and other person who offends them even in the slightest manner. The race war we all knew would eventually happen took a giant step to reality yesterday. Thanks Obama, Al, Jesse and both AGs.
What is it with these guys and their goofy haircuts and crazy eyes. Denver, Lanza,this guy? WTF?
Although I cannot think of obvious remedies with respect to dealing with people like Mr. Roof in our culture, he seems to be a good example of the consequences of PC tolerance, a socially “acceptable” loose canon.
