It seems like every mass murder involves psychotic drugs these days. That's all I'm saying.

Well sure, because these people are psychotic.

this is why i keep saying the sample size of known mass murderers the last 30 years should make it easier to come to better conclusions.

in many ways the results are along the lines of cognitive dissonance

My wife found something like this last night when we were discussing it.... definitely looks like the pharmaceutical lobby has been working overtime too...

not trying to defend big pharma, but one thing to keep in mind is that these people were extremely sick in the first place, and that most people that are on these meds don't go shoot up places.

so, it looks like every school shooter is very sick, but not everyone who is very sick is a school shooter. therefore, I'm not sure the conclusion that medicine is the root cause of this is correct.

buuut... who knows, I may be wrong.

These things tend to happen in societies that worship the almighty dollar, trust profit driven corporations and push for more deregulation.

When I read about these loons, I find it hard to blame the drugs.

As an example, the VA Tech loon was off his rocker from jump street, long before drugs and therapy.

Lucky for big pharma, almost no one reads the side effects warnings. They are all very long and very "scary", for even the common medications.

The question is do regular psychos kill classrooms full of children or is it only drug induced or drug withdrawal psychos.

Given that these drugs have strong albeit rare side effects that correlate to such actions, it makes me feel like the drugs are at least the tipping point.

Could be.
Might not.

Before we had these drugs we had psychos killing many people.

China has bozos knifing children and I'm pretty sure none of them have front line antipsychotic meds, ADHD drugs, or antidepressant drugs.

I guess what i am saying is...it might be intellectually lazy to lay all of this on the drugs, tho i do agree the prime issue is indeed mental health, rather than just gunz gunz gunz.
