What about the fact that most of the recent mass murderers have recently been on psychotropic medications? The media says nothing...

I don't think there's a connection, beyond proving that psychotropic meds don't help some people. Read the book Columbine by Dave Cullen. Those two murderers would have shot up that school even if they hadn't been on meds.

On literally my first day in college, I learned about the fallacy of the "one-way correlation." 100% of mass murderers drank milk as children, but that doesn't mean drinking milk causes murder. You have to also look at the other half of the correlation-- what percent of people who take psychotropic medication become mass murderers?

Why indeed? The world wonders. I have a dollar that says it will be the same with the Austin kid.
