Thanks. I think I may have misspelled Captagon when I did the search.

[Schatze]

See post #12.

It turned them into soulless killers.

That describes Hamas to a T. These guys put Satan to shame.

[Paul R.]

If nothing else, Captagon keeps one “hopped up” longer, extending killing sprees. An “evil enhancer” if you will.

Certainly it can amplify one’s bad tendencies. (Ever had to deal with some red faced idiot juiced up by steroids?)

A few notes: Captagon is VERY commonly combined with other drugs — results unknown, but hallucinogenic episodes appear to be common.

Syria is cranking out shipments of Captagon by the many tons. Estimates place it as 50% of Syria’s GDP!

It’s a joke. Have you ever seen commercials for Omega XL on the Grit Channel?

Didn’t the NAZIs do something similar in WWII?

[God luvs America]

Also a favorite of the nazis if my history is correct.

[God luvs America]

Yes- pervatin which the muzzles are using

In other arab/muslim countries they’d get hopped up on KOT or KAT before shooting up the town.

they learned it from the Chinese
many eye witnesses at Tiananmen Square described their attackers as pupil dilated drug charged maniacs

Old habits die hard…

“ The other was from the Jerusalem Post”

Very reliable, I’m sure…

[Schatze]

Is this some twisted attempt to excuse their behavior? “They were drugged”?

I didn't take it as an excuse. For me, it's one way to explain how humans can commit such savagery.

I took quite a bit of captagon during my first tour of Germany. I drove a wrecker all hours of the day and night. It is comparable to the little white pills that American truckers use.

Yes, and this one is from the Daily Mail, with a completely different headline. They are not considered to be duplicates, thus the person who posted THIS thread is fine.

[Schatze]

Have you ever seen commercials for Omega XL on the Grit Channel?

Sorry, I missed the joke. I have seen those commercials on some channel or other.

[P.O.E.]

First thing I thought of, too.

Guess this is why they don’t teach history anymore, so that we can be condemned to repeat it.

Ancient Hamas secret

[SisterK]

not an excuse
while drug charged, they will not recognize if they are shot
won’t slow down even if they are bleeding out

[Liaison]

Captagon is a Middle East drug. It that it can’t find its way here but we already have other drugs like it.
