Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) are anti-depressants. They're being prescribed more and more. SSRIs have a long history of triggering suicide and violent behavior in patients who take them. The US corporate media does not report these stories for fear of losing lucrative pharmaceutical advertising deals. The US Government looks the other way (the FDA is "considering" a warning label on SSRIs) while our children commit suicides and carry out acts of extreme violence that opportunistic politicians use to attack the Second Amendment. The next time you hear about a mass shooting, look for the medical history of the shooter. Half of the shooters have a history of treatment with SSRIs.

Well, I certainly think that school officials..certainly principal, school psychologist and school nurse, have a right to know what medications a student is on. I also think that anyone in a dating situation needs to know what medications someone is on and make appropriate decisions as to whether they can date them..a 15 year old should not have to deal with a bipolar person and not know about it, even if they are quite fine with medications. Teach your children this.

Also, it has been suggested that a screening for drugs, prescribed and illegal, be done in every older child and adolescent physical. Adolescence, plus troubled life, plus underlying mental illness plus meth plus being born male in a time that devalues males and does not train them properly is a bad combination.

100 million gun-owning Americans managed not to kill anyone today. Guns aren't the problem.

The FDA won't allow putting a warning label on drugs that cause "mania and psychotic disorders," "suicidal ideation," and "loss of contact with reality."

I know people who've benefitted from Zoloft, Prozac and the others, but no kid should be placed on those drugs. They don't have the life experience to properly report changes in perception. Doctors and therapists who prescribe them to kids that later kill should be charged with manslaughter at the very minimum.

I'm not saying the Adam Lanza was on medication when he did the shooting in Connecticut. Let's wait and see. Normally when the shooters are on SSRIs the media buries that information beneath phrases like "seeing a mental health therapist" or "history or mental illness."

Does anyone remember that Eric Harris was on antidepressants during his shooting spree at Columbine? Probably not. But you remember the anti-gun campaign that came after that incident.

Seung-Hui Cho at Virginia Tech was on psychiatric meds. They think. His records are missing. But meds were found among his effects. Of course, officials won't say what the meds were. The investigation had to admit he was going to a "counselling center," but they won't admit much else. Cover-up.

The medical system in the U.S. is giving huge amounts of psychotropic drugs to young people, and when they spiral out of control and shoot people, the media focuses your attention on the guns.

"there lots of other kids playing in streets around this country today who are going to be dead tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day and month, because other young people are reading the kinds of things and seeing the kinds of things that are available in the media today. "


"Well-meaning, decent people will condemn the behavior of a Ted Bundy, while they're walking past a magazine rack full of the very kinds of things that send young kids down the road to be Ted Bundys."

people suffer mental health problems in any country and may try to harm themselves and those around them. of course, they need support and understanding and may not benefit from the drugs offered. however, if you are prepared to allow easy access to automatic weapons to everyone, then you must accept that the potential damage of one person's distress is going to affect many others. wouldn't you feel you or your family are safer in a normal country where there are very few guns and such horrific shootings are thankfully very rare? seems obvious to me...but then again, i have never understood why it is considered legal to make and sell any weapons. drugs aren't always bad for you, guns are.

I've heard the statistic that people who have never had any official training in combat shooting and who pack guns around with the idea of self-protection or of stopping a "shooter," have about a 4% chance of actually stopping the shooter, with a much higher chance of injuring someone else--or of getting shot themselves, because the shooter figures he'd better take the goof with the gun out first.

I had a friend who packed a gun around (along with his NRA membership card) spouted all the usual clichés, and on a couple of occasions almost shot a good friend because he didn't recognize him in the dark, and on another occasion, pulled his gun to stop someone from fleeing from an accident (dented fender on a parked car) and got arrested himself because the incident did not justify the use of "deadly force."

Well, my point here is that antidepressant drugs are dangerous. Especially to kids, who are not as capable of self monitoring changes in their bodies' metabolisms as adults are. Big pharmaceutical companies have entered into a sick collusion with school systems and mental health systems to place kids on mind-altering drugs. When the kids suffer injury or inflict injury, the people responsible should be brought to justice. A streetcorner pusher sells your kid some pot and you freak, but a Phd in a lab coat fries his mind for life and you're fine with it?

A list of cases you may or may not remember. The media plays up the gun angle but not the drug angle. These cases are all a matter of public record and have been adjudicated:

Jeff Weise , age 16, shot his grandfather, his grandfather's girlfriend and many fellow students at Red Lake, Minnesota while he was taking Prozac. He then shot himself. 10 dead, 12 wounded.

Cory Baadsgaard, age 16, Wahluke (Washington state) High School, was on Paxil, which caused him to have hallucinations. He took a rifle to his high school and held 23 classmates hostage. He has no memory of the event.

Chris Fetters, age 13, killed his favorite aunt while taking Prozac.

Christopher Pittman, age 12, murdered both his grandparents while taking Zoloft.

Mathew Miller, age 13, hung himself in his bedroom closet after taking Zoloft for 6 days.

Jarred Viktor, age 15, stabbed his grandmother 61 times after 5 days on Paxil.

Kip Kinkel, age 15, shot his parents while they slept then went to school and opened fire killing 2 classmates and injuring 22 shortly after beginning Prozac treatment. He was on Prozac and Ritalin.

Luke Woodham, age 16, killed his mother and then killed two students, wounding six others. He was on Prozac.

Michael Carneal, age 14, opened fire on students at a high school prayer meeting in West Paducah, Kentucky. Three teenagers were killed, five others were wounded. He was on Ritalin.

Andrew Golden, age 11, and Mitchell Johnson, aged 14, shot 15 people, killing four students, one teacher, and wounding 10 others. Both boys were on Ritalin.

TJ Solomon, age 15, a high school student in Conyers, Georgia opened fire on and wounded six of his class mates. He was on Ritalin.

Rod Mathews, age 14, beat a classmate to death with a bat. He was on Ritalin.

James Wilson, age 19, from Breenwood, South Carolina, took a.22 caliber revolver into an elementary school killing two young girls, and wounding seven other children and two teachers. He wa son various psychiatric drugs.

Elizabeth Bush, age 13, was responsible for a school shooting in Pennsylvania. She was on Paxil.

Jarred Viktor, age 15. After five days on Paxil he stabbed his grandmother 61 times.

Jeff Franklin, Huntsville, AL, killed his parents as they came home from work using a sledge hammer, hatchet, butcher knife and mechanic's file, then attacked his younger brothers and sister. He was on Prozac and Ritalin.

Neal Furrow, the LA Jewish school shooting, was reported to have been court-ordered to be on Prozac along with several other medications.

Kevin Rider, age 14, was withdrawing from Prozac when he died from a gunshot wound to his head. Initially it was ruled a suicide, but two years later, the investigation into his death was opened as a possible homicide. The prime suspect, also age 14, had been taking Zoloft and other SSRI antidepressants.

Alex Kim, age 13, hung himself shortly after his Lexapro prescription had been doubled.

Diane Routhier was prescribed Welbutrin for gallstone problems. Six days later, after suffering many adverse effects of the drug, she shot herself.

Billy Willkomm, an accomplished wrestler and a University of Florida student, was prescribed Prozac at the age of 17. His family found him dead of suicide – hanging from a tall ladder at the family's Gulf Shore Boulevard home in July 2002.

Kara Jaye Anne Fuller-Otter, age 12, was on Paxil when she hung herself from a hook in her closet. Kara's parents said "…. the damn doctor wouldn't take her off it and I asked him to when we went in on the second visit. I told him I thought she was having some sort of reaction to Paxil…").

Gareth Christian, Vancouver, age 18, was on Paxil when he committed suicide in 2002, (Gareth's father could not accept his son's death and killed himself.)

Julie Woodward, age 17, was on Zoloft when she hung herself in her family's detached garage.

Matthew Miller was 13 when he saw a psychiatrist because he was having difficulty at school. The psychiatrist gave him samples of Zoloft. Seven days later his mother found him dead, hanging by a belt from a laundry hook in his closet.

Kurt Danysh, age 18, and on Prozac, killed his father with a shotgun. He is now behind prison bars, and writes letters, trying to warn the world that SSRI drugs can kill.

Hammad Memon, age 15, shot and killed a fellow middle school student. He had been diagnosed with ADHD and depression and was taking Zoloft and "other drugs for the conditions.".

Matti Saari, a 22-year-old culinary student, shot and killed 9 students and a teacher, and wounded another student, before killing himself. Saari was taking an SSRI and a benzodiazapine.

Steven Kazmierczak, age 27, shot and killed five people and wounded 21 others before killing himself in a Northern Illinois University auditorium. According to his girlfriend, he had recently been taking Prozac, Xanax and Ambien. Toxicology results showed that he still had trace amounts of Xanax in his system.

Finnish gunman Pekka-Eric Auvinen, age 18, had been taking antidepressants before he killed eight people and wounded a dozen more at Jokela High School – then he committed suicide.

Asa Coon from Cleveland, age 14, shot and wounded four before taking his own life. Court records show Coon was on Trazodone.

And so on. A pretty much endless list. More than 10% of Americans are on antidepressants.

That's a good question, but no one can answer it. Cho's medical records went missing. That shooting (Virginia Tech) was one of the more muddied ones. It took place in an area that's in the heart of the U.S. intelligence community, and his folks both had long-time government connections. But from what people have been able to piece together, he most likely quit taking his meds and was going through withdrawal.

I've had a variety of handguns over a period of time, some of which I still have, safely under lock and key.

One gun I have used a great deal is a Crosman CO2 powered pellet gun. It fires .22 cal. pellets. It looks like it should be able to fire laser beams. One could not kill anyone with it, but the pellets hit hard enough to bury themselves a quarter of an inch deep in a hardwood board, so they could sure make someone bleed a bit.

Great for target shooting, which I used to do a fair bit at one time.

Also, every now and then we get a plague of little moths that come in from outside our apartment. One could run around and try to swat them, but I've found it easier (and a bit "sporting") to sit there with a full charge of CO2 in the Crosman, but no pellets, and pop away at a moth as it flies by. If the jet of gas is within a couple of inches of the moth, it disappears in a puff of grey dust.

As far as footpads and felons are concerned, the only altercation I ever got into was about sixty years ago in San Francisco. On my way to a class one evening, some young guy thought this dude on crutches would be easy pickings.

Not so.

I caught him in the goolies with a hearty whack of an aluminum forearm crutch. He didn't see that one coming.

I proceeded to my class, leaving him all doubled over, contemplating the hazards of his sinful ways.
