Zoloft, Luvox, Prozac and other SSRI-type drugs have been associated with a number of violent incidents, ranging from the Columbine massacre(Eric Harris was on Luvox), Kip Kinkel's massacre in Oregon (Prozac and Ritalin).
We've had guns in America since the Jamestown settlement. We've had troubled teens since the dawn of time. But it seems we've had a greatly increased number of these incidents since we've started widespread drugging of children with powerful psychiatric drugs.
Pray tell....what the hell is "world music"?
Pygmies farting?
Previous articles also said she was a member of the Students for a Democratic Society. I assume that is the same Students for a Democratic Society which was a large New Left group during the Vietnam War era. Bill Ayers’ terrorist Weather Underground was a violent spinoff of the SDS.
The more I look at this, the more I am convinced that this is a case of “proactive karma”.
This girl was raised just like Lori Berenson, the American radical who is now going to spend the rest of her life in a Peruvian prison, for giving material aid to the bloodthirsty, murderous Shining Path guerrillas who specialized in wiping out entire villages of rural peasants.
In both cases, these girl’s parents are filled with all sorts of tripe about how “caring” their daughters were, how liberal, but oh, never radical, they were, and especially how much they just wanted to “help” people.
Tell me true, how do you “help” people by turning their nation into another Maoist killing fields? With people like Pol Pot, who they probably still call an “agrarian reformer”? With people like the Shining Path, who exceed even the Taliban for whimsical murder and torture of others?
“She was the biggest pacifist around and the sweetest, most gentle soul you’d ever encounter in your life. Her one great hope was that she would just make the world a better place.”
“Nurtured from an early age by her activist parents, 19-year-old Emily Silverstein was acutely aware of the troubles of the world and worked to find solutions to issues such as homelessness and women’s rights.
“She had a warm, generous nature and was artistic and just one of the most amazing people you’d ever meet. She did not just talk, she walked the walk. She was an activist for many causes.”
“From her upbringing, Silverstein was destined to become an activist, Kelly said. Her relatives were anti-war protesters and anti-imperialists, she said. And she was raised in a community specifically chosen by her parents for its activist reputation.”
“Silverstein, an anthropology major at Gettysburg, was a member of Students for a Democratic Society and lived in Peace House, whose main mission is to bring awareness to world peace issues, Kelly said. Co-president of Peace House, Silverstein also worked with Amnesty International and Free the Children.”
“She studied Arabic in college and planned to study in Morocco in the fall to improve her foreign language skills.”
In other words, she was a well-trained cog in the machine of international leftism, primed to go to other countries to make trouble, while strongly opposed to the United States at every turn.
We’ve had guns in America since the Jamestown settlement. We’ve had troubled teens since the dawn of time. But it seems we’ve had a greatly increased number of these incidents since we’ve started widespread drugging of children with powerful psychiatric drugs.
I am not saying drugs where not part of it though I find it odd that the article felted the need to mentioned he was recently off the antidepressant with out stating fast or slowly off. Worse is that so many kids are put on the drugs to begin with. Societies problems (and killings) go much deeper then the antidepressant issue. We look for causes without really looking at the cause. “Must be the drugs he was on, he was such a nice guy”. No, nice guys DO NOT put a knife in someone throat. We do not have a higher standard to live by in society anymore. Life means nothing. Abortion is OK, Violence in movies is disgusting. Killing in games is common. Self control is out the window. People are robbed and killed everyday for pocket change. The world is no longer a pretty place. Killing used to be seldom, now it is every day. This alone can make one depressed. Yes, We are on more drugs but the cause is as I said much deeper then that.
Before she was born she was innocent. Only after her parents had indoctrinated her, and she accepted that indoctrination, was she in any way responsible for the beliefs she had adopted, and the people she had chosen to be with.
Ironic, I suppose, that if David Horowitz parents, Phil and Blanche Horowitz, knew that he would betray their communist faith, would they have aborted him? I fear the answer would be an easy “yes”.
Yes I agree all women (except the ditzy) should learn to protect themselves with a.......gun. Yep, I said it. A gun. The day my husband taught me to shoot was one of the very most important days of my life. It might end up being a vital skill someday or some night. I would say that a man teaching his gal how to shoot safely and accurately is the most thoughtful thing he can do to insure her safety when he cannot be with her. Having 2 huge dobermans around the house is a nice insurance policy too. Hee Hee.
I guess the poor little spoiled child will not get a chance to “save the world” (from Obama, I guess).
I hope her “enlightened” parents have learned their lesson.
Yes, it is quite terrible, really. A huge side-effect that no one talks about ....
