Also the social media generation has a dysfunctional desire to be “known by their peers”. “Known” negatively, positively doesn’t matter just “known”; being a mass murder is definitely “being known”!

Good to see that Mr North is putting the focus where it should be. If there were no guns, would this problem go away? Putting the focus on guns is a convenient way of not having to face the real issue with our culture. As much as the media always tries to somehow blame the incidents on conservatives or Christians, it always turns out to be democrats and atheists.

IF, you get rid of the guns people will use a different tool to commit violence with.

“....The disease is youngsters who are steeped in a culture of violence.”

The same thing was said back in 1968 after the murder of Bobby Kennedy. But in this case he is correct. Back then TV shows and movies were so mild, they nothing like what is put on the screen today.
Back then, the movie industry said they would “police themselves” with a joke of a ratings system. They then proceeded to turn out the most vile and bloody movies possible to obtain the “R” or “X” ratings. (SO BOLD IT HAS TO BE RATED “XXX”!)

RITALIN!

If I had been in school in those days I probably would have been forced to take it. Mom hated the area we lived in so bad she fed us chocolate gravy on bread and turned us lose on the schools!

There is a contemporary fundamental problem with boys.From the beginning, unlike girls, boys had to do something to earn entrance into the tribe. Girls automatically become women at puberty, but boys needed to show their worthiness. Today, white boys often feel inadequate, and black boys often feel alone and angry. Commonly, playing a sport has filled that need, but not so much anymore. There simply aren’t enough opportunities for all boys in sports. In some rural groups, killing a deer still offers that passage for boys, but not so much for urban boys. This is a tragedy of enormous proportions, and has nothing to do with guns.

Disparaging Ritalin is like showing the CROSS to Dracula.

The ‘Mental Health’ community will go bat-shit crazy.

Wow, talk about a Third Rail.

The kid is a professed Atheist.

If I even tried to leave the house wearing anything resembling this, I am sure my dad, both uncles and two older brothers would have set me straight.

“Spanking early slows that down.”

Whoa boy!!! Don’t say that, not even here - the Dr. Spock cultists are EVERYWHERE.

Almost all school shootings have involved kids on some SSRI drug. That pertinent point is never discussed by the MSM, it destroys their narrative.

By the way other Anti-Psychotic drugs are involved besides Ritalin.

Absolutely
They tried it on mine and I shot them down
They hate me for it and constantly pick on my son
I’ve given him instructions to ignore them and just smile and know what idiots they are
It’s a dangerous place for boys. The public schools

Wayne's not going anywhere. He's Executive Vice President. Whole nother position.

COL North is replacing Pete Brownell as President. Same position Charlton Heston once held.

Marines know better than to ignore threats when they’re achieving an objective.

And it’s way past time we had more responsible professionals like North bringing critical ‘Need To Know’ Intel to the Need To Know public.

No, not ritalin. SSRI’s, and that’s proven. After several of these shootings by teenage boys, the pharmas were forced to add “suicidal or homicidal ideation” to the package insert (label stating risks of drug). SSRI’s are a certain class of anti-depressant, some examples: zoloft, prozac, paxil. They can affect brain/hormone chemistry SPECIFICALLY in adolescent males. SSRI’s have been taken by every (!) violent school shooter.
