"Another Shooter With A History Of Anti-depressant Use; Killer is latest in long line of young men with history of psychiatric drugs treatment for depression and ADHD." by Steve Watson Infowars.net Thursday, Dec 6, 2007
Robert Hawkins, the 19 year old who killed himself and eight other people with an assault rifle last night in Omaha, Nebraska had a history of treatment with psychiatric drugs for depression and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and was on prozac according to press reports.
Of course the headlines will once again focus on how evil and dangerous guns are, how the second amendment should be reevaluated and will once again ignore the fact that this young man was subject to dangerous brain altering chemicals for a number of years prior to this tragic incident.
Hawkins is the latest in a long line of shooters all of which were on prescribed antidepressants before they suddenly snapped and decided to kill as many people as they could before taking their own lives.
Investigators believe that Cho Seung Hui, the Virginia Tech murderer, had been taking anti-depressant medication at some point before the shootings last April, according to The Chicago Tribune.
Columbine shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, as well as 15-year-old Kip Kinkel, the Oregon killer who gunned down his parents and classmates, were all on psychotropic drugs.
Jeff Weise, the Red Lake High School killer was on prozac, "Unabomber" Ted Kaczinski, Michael McDermott, John Hinckley, Jr., Byran Uyesugi, Mark David Chapman and Charles Carl Roberts IV, the Amish school killer, were all on SSRI psychotropic drugs.
Antidepressant drugs have never been tested on children nor approved by the FDA for use on children, however, Scientific studies proving that prozac encourages suicidal tendencies in young people are voluminous and span back nearly a decade.
In 2005, it was revealed that Eli Lilly had full knowledge of a 1200% increase in suicide risk for takers of their Prozac. This evidence came in the wake of findings published in the British Medical Journal a year previously.
In 2006 a report was published outlining the fact that anti-depressant drug Paxil doubles the risk of violent behavior. Another study published in the Archives of General Psychiatry revealed that teens taking antidepressant drugs are more likely to commit suicide.
However, prescriptions of antidepressants and other mind-altering drugs among schoolchildren has more than quadrupled in that time, while use of behaviour-altering drugs, including Ritalin, for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and Modafinil, for daytime sleepiness, has soared ten-fold.
It is a well known fact among the makers of these drugs that they are directly linked to behavioural disturbances including agitation, panic attacks and extreme aggression, yet their use is so commonplace that they have now even found their way into our drinking water.
Since these deadly drugs are prevalent in almost all mass shooting incidents, where is the call to ban prozac? Where is the investigation into these drugs and the big pharma corporations that are pushing them and gaining record profits? Why is the knee-jerk reaction always to attack the 2nd Amendment rights of Americans to self-defense, a right that was exercised in January 2002 when students subdued a shooter at another Virginia university before he could kill more than three people because they were allowed guns on campus?

"ABC warns of terror fears in wake of non-terrorist mall shooting"

Raw Story
Thursday, December 6, 2007
Planning on heading to the mall tonight to pick up that perfect sweater or pair of earrings your significant other has been eying for Christmas? Well, ABC News warns, you might be better off staying home to shop on Amazon.
"Police have long believed that malls are the perfect target for the deranged or terrorists," ABC correspondent Pierre Thomas intoned on Wednesday's evening news, hours after nine people, including the gunman, lost their lives in a mall shooting spree in Omaha. "And there is good reason for concern."
Reprising tragic tales of recent mall shootings in Georgia, Florida, Texas, Utah and Kansas City, Thomas says the open, convenient environment of packed malls means there's little that can be done to absolutely ensure shoppers' safety.
A former FBI agent supports view that malls create a breeding ground for potential mayhem.
"Malls of course are always going to be a 'soft target,' but keep in mind they're particularly busy around the holiday season," retired agent Brad Garrett says. "So for someone to go into a mall and commit the acts that this individual has committed (in Omaha), it creates a mindset in the public, 'Are malls really safe to go to?'"
The answer to that question, for ABC, appears to be, "No." Thomas reminds viewers of last month's Department of Homeland Security warning that terrorists affiliated with al Qaeda were suspected to be plotting mall-based attacks.
"The intelligence was deemed of weak credibility, but underscores just how seriously law enforcement deems the threat," Thomas says. "Now the concern, with the holiday season upon us, is that this latest tragedy will spur copycats."Printed from: http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/december2007/061207_b_abc.htm
