Mass shootings, sadly, have become a part of the American lexicon, and
without question the majority of the American people are not comfortable
with this fact. The latest outrage: A young white man who allegedly
possessed some racist animosity went into a predominantly black church
in Charleston, S.C., and opened fire, telling one victim that blacks
"rape our women," "are taking over our country" and "have to go.
Predictably,
the mainstream and legacy media are using this tragedy as Exhibit A in
their relentless push to paint the United States - whites, primarily -
as racist, bigoted and intolerant. Unfortunately, and despite government
statistics that actually
show that whites are more commonly victims of so-called "hate" crimes - too many of our citizens will buy into the lie once more, making it ever more difficult for blacks and whites to reconcile.
But
there is another predictable element to this mass shooting as well, and
it is a connection getting far less attention in the press and in the
political arena than it should: The alleged S.C. church shooter, Dylan
Roof, was taking a dangerous mind-altering drug like virtually
every other mass shooter ever since the late 1990s Columbine High School
shooters, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris.
It's not the guns, folks, it's the medications
As CBS News reported:
Since
January, Roof has been arrested twice, both at the Columbiana Mall in
Columbia, S.C. According to arrest records obtained CBS News
investigative producer Laura Strickler, on February 28,
Roof went into a Bath and Body Works store wearing all black and asked
"out of the ordinary questions," including how many associates were
working, when they closed and what time they leave. ...
The
officer noted that Roof was becoming increasingly nervous. He searched
Roof and found "orange strips" that Roof said were "suboxone," a
Schedule 3 narcotic. Roof was arrested and his 2000 Hyundai Elantra was
towed.
A user of this drug on the web site
MD Junction noted that her husband "became violent, smashing [sic] things and threatening me," after just a few days of coming off Suboxone.
Another poster at
MD Junction
tells the story of how his personality completely changed as a result
of taking Suboxone. The person related how he became "nasty" and
"violent" just weeks after beginning the drug, adding that he would
"snap" and be mean to people for no reason.
According to The Courier-Journal,
Suboxone "is increasingly being abused, sold on the streets and
inappropriately prescribed" by doctors. For a number of users, it
becomes even more addictive than the
drugs it's supposed to help them quit.
As Natural News
has noted, in the vast majority of the mass shootings over the past two
decades, the perpetrators have been taking some form of mood-altering,
mind-altering, psychotropic
drug.
And yet, the mainstream media and President Obama have, again
predictably, blamed the firearm used by these shooters and not the
medications.
Obama,
in comments following reports of the shooting, also said that the
United States was the only advanced society where such shootings occur
on a regular basis. The solution, of course, was to ban more guns. But
the president said nothing about the link between the violence and the
medications.
We deny this link at our own risk
One
reason that other advanced societies don't have so many mass killings
could be because they don't poison as many of their children with
pharmaceutical drugs. According to a 2008 study,
U.S. kids are three times more likely than European children to be prescribed psychotropic drugs.
As reported by US News & World Report:
American
children are three times more likely to be prescribed psychotropic
medications for conditions such as ADHD and bipolar disease than
European children are, a new study finds.
Differences
in regulatory practices and cultural beliefs about the benefit of
medication for emotional and behavioral problems may explain this
dramatic difference, the U.S. researchers added.
"There
is significantly greater use of atypical antipsychotics and SSRI-type
antidepressants for child mental health treatment in U.S. than in
Western Europe," said lead researcher Julie Zito, of the pharmaceutical
health services research department in the School of Pharmacy at the
University of Maryland. "Since most of the use is 'off-label' -- without
adequate evidence of benefits and risks, close monitoring should be
considered when these medications are used."
The
longer we deny, as a society, that these dangerous drugs are having at
least some effect on these mass shootings, the more of them will occur.
