psychotropic drugs are a major cause PLUS forcing certain kids to stay in academic classes instead of working/industrial arts.

The various drugs are used on those under 30 with very poor results. Just because one is past the calendar age for recommended usage, does not mean it is safe.

I have seen suicide due to this mistake.

Many of these drugs have their worst side effects when the patient goes cold turkey, for whatever reason.

A societal collapse will be made all the more interesting when the supply lines are interrupted...

We have had guns in the US since colonial times, and rapid-firing semi-autos have been available to people for over a century. In the 1920’s you could get a full auto Thomson submachinegun mail-order. Up until the Gun Control Act of 1968 people could walk into a store and walk out with whatever guns they wanted, paying cash, and not even being required to identify themselves.

But it’s only been in the last few decades that we’ve had these nuts going off. Nuts who society used to be able to commit before they harmed people.

Q, Anons, I've been following these drops since day one, but this is the first I'm hearing of this "Behold a Pale Horse" book from 1991, by Bill Cooper. It actually describes clowns planning to use school shootings as a way to disarm the citizenry.

This looks legit to me, astonishing as the quotes are. What say you all?

Behold a Pale Horse — Milton William (Bill) Cooper, 1991 http:// a.co/0IZY9ra

“Bill Cooper, former United States Naval Intelligence Briefing Team member, reveals information that remains hidden from the public eye. This information has been kept in topsecret government files since the 1940s. His audiences hear the truth unfold as he writes about the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the war on drugs, the secret government, and UFOs. Bill is a lucid, rational, and powerful speaker whose intent is to inform and to empower his audience. Standing room only is normal. His presentation and information transcend partisan affiliations as he clearly addresses issues in a way that has a striking impact on listeners of all backgrounds and interests. He has spoken to many groups throughout the United States and has appeared regularly on many radio talk shows and on television. In 1988 Bill decided to "talk" due to events then taking place worldwide, events that he had seen plans for back in the early 1970s. Bill correctly predicted the lowering of the Iron Curtain, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the invasion of Panama. All Bill's predictions were on record well before the events occurred. Bill is not a psychic. His information comes from top secret documents that he read while with the Intelligence Briefing Team and from over seventeen years of research.”

The Right is absolutely insane on the subject of psychiatric drugs. Just the way the Left is nuts on the subject of guns. You’d think taking a gelatin tablet of Prozac turns people into maniacs. Well, it doesn’t. Every drug has a drawback and you can take blood pressure medication that indicates if misused or subscribed incorrectly can cause death.

It is so obvious that this kid had Alcohol Fetal Syndrome - a condition that leads to reckless impulsiveness if not controlled early in life. We know nothing about his somewhat shady lineage, nothing about his adoptive parents and nothing about the home he was living in. There are multiple reasons this young adult became a madman. Drugs, may or may not, have played a part.

Was the Las Vegas shooter on Ritalin?

Genetics or damage while in the womb is a very strong possibility. Drugs can help or exasperate the condition. Everyone has a unique brain chemistry and responds differently to the meds.

When kids begin to self medicate, they can further alter and rewire their own brains. A forensic examination of his brain could be informative.

There is no cure for FAS. There is no cure for paranoid schizophrenia. Medication can sedate or control the symptoms.

No one should self-medicate, least of all kids! But a good doctor, along with therapy and/or medication, can help a depressed or ill kid. But when I hear ignorant people like Sean Hannity inveighing against some of the wonderful drugs that are available for the mentally ill, I just wanna tell him to shut up.

I wonder if we’ll ever find out about this man’s background. The spelling of his first name is curious, too.

No, crazy people who could benefit from psychoactive drugs cause mass shootings.

More so, they could benefit from involuntary commitment to mental institutions. The drugs may be precipitating these murders.

drugs were prescribed to try to curb certain behaviors...its hard to say the drugs were the cause of the homicides.....

because we do not have the whole picture...

where is the report on all the kids on these drugs that don't commit any crimes whatsoever...

everyone was condemning that poor mother of the wild and screaming toddler on the plane the other day...

besides medication, what would you want her to do?...

This is a chicken and egg dilemma

It’s like do heart drugs cause death or is it that heart drug taking folks are already more likely to die

Biggest contributor is the death of Christianity here and the breakdown of family and community

Leaving more than usual alienated

from what I understand, such powerful drugs should not be given to teens, whose brains are still developing.

Self medicate = booze, pot, recreational drugs of any sort they get hands on to experiment or alter the mental state.

And it didn’t have to be alcohol. Kids his age were already born to crackheads etc. I know of a young woman with terrible impulse control, expelled from a few schools, and her mother admitted snorting cocaine a few times in early pregnancy. It sounds like his adoptive parents were good parents, but since he was the older kid, he probably spent two or so years with the birth mother. That is a rough age to be adopted at. Who knows what happened to him during those early years?
