Seems like the media likes to point the blame at almost everything else except these terrible medications.  Antidepressants are known to raise suicidal thoughts and increase harm to others yet this is always quickly brushed aside when these shootings happen.

"There have been too many mass shootings for it just to be a coincidence.  Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed twelve students and a teacher at Columbine High School.   Eric was on Luvox, an antidepressant.  The Virginia Tech shooter killed thirty-two people and he was on an antidepressant.  While withdrawing from Prozac, Kip Kinkel murdered his mother and stepmother.  He then shot twenty-two classmates and killed two.  Jason Hoffman wounded five at his high school while he was on Effexor, also an antidepressant.  James Holmes opened fire in a Colorado movie theater this past summer and killed twelve people and wounded fifty-eight.  He was under the care of a psychiatrist but no information has been released as to what drug he must have been on."

"Last July 20, James Holmes walked into a midnight showing of the latest "Batman" movie in Aurora, Colo., and opened fire, killing 12 and wounding 58, police said. The Denver Post reported Holmes was taking generic Zoloft, an SSRI."

There is more of a link to antidepressants and mass shooting than anything else.  These drugs are prescribed to teens now when they didn't work so great for adults.  Now they seem to have even worse side effects on kids.  I suggest everyone should check out the documentary Generation RX which shows how corrupt the FDA and drug companies are..
