Before It’s News – by Samme 712
The mass amount of shootings in America has sky rocketed in the past 20 years, which has American’s hearts throbbing, as well as questioning gun laws.
Yet, have you ever really thought about what these shooters have in common?
According to an article by Thomas Lifson (CCHR International), he points out how medications for psychological problems have a huge impact on the likliness of these shootings, and also quotes Sam Smith as saying, ”There are about 25 million Americans on these drugs. Let’s say that only one tenth of one percent have a reaction that could lead to manic violence: That’s 25,000 people who could be mass killers.”
This past Friday, May 23, 2014, there was another mass shooting perpetrated by a California college student named Elliot Roger. By appearance, he was just another regular college student. However, if you look a little closer, you can see this young adult severely suffered with depression. In a video gone viral, he ranted about his constant struggles with fitting in and his feelings of rejection by the opposite sex, and people in general. Elliot finally got his revenge, (which coincidentally, he announced in that same video that he would), by killing 7 people, including himself, and injuring 13 others.
Warning: This video may be disturbing to some people.
So the question remains, could psychological medications, such as anti-depressents, have helped sparked this twisted deception for revenge?
In CCHR International News Publication, Kelly Patricia O’meara discusses how anti-depressents and other psychiatric drugs affect the people taking them, and points out that Elliot was infact on the anti-anxiety drug Xanax. Elliot himself said, “I will quickly swallow all of the Xanax and Vicodin pills I have left….”, if he couldn’t have completed the act of shooting himself. Also, it is noted that he was being treated for psychological issues. According to a different article in CCHR International News:
“It is by now well established that the Isla Vista rampage killer was being treated for psychological and psychiatric issues. ”
Lending more credibility to this massive problem, Mike Adams from Natural News quotes Dan Robert’s as stating:
(Ammoland.com) Nearly every mass shooting incident in the last twenty years, and multiple other instances of suicide and isolated shootings all share one thing in common, and its not the weapons used. The overwhelming evidence points to the signal largest common factor in all of these incidents is the fact that all of the perpetrators were either actively taking powerful psychotropic drugs or had been at some point in the immediate past before they committed their crimes.
Multiple credible scientific studies going back more then a decade, as well as internal documents from certain pharmaceutical companies that suppressed the information show that SSRI drugs ( Selective Serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitors ) have well known, but unreported side effects, including but not limited to suicide and other violent behavior. One need only Google relevant key words or phrases to see for themselves. www.ssristories.com is one popular site that has documented over 4500 ” Mainstream Media ” reported cases from around the World of aberrant or violent behavior by those taking these powerful drugs.
