Uninformed!
I would rather be writing about something positive or ground-breaking, but I'm writing again on the subject of school shootings.
The thoughts of people around the world will lie with the families affected by the latest tragedy at Robb Elementary School in Texas.
As the search for answers begin, the cause of violent behaviour will again go under the spotlight, along with gun laws in the United States.
While there is never one simple explanation for what drives a human being to commit such unspeakable acts, all too often one common denominator has surfaced in hundreds of cases, prescribed psychiatric drugs that are documented to cause mania, psychosis, violence, suicide and in some cases, homicidal ideation.
The general public remain uninformed about the well-documented links between psychiatric drugs and violence.
At least 37 school shootings and or schoolrelated acts of violence have been committed by those taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs, resulting in 175 wounded and 82 killed.
Following the latest shooting in Texas, another 21 tragic deaths are going to be added to the abysmal death toll.
International drug regulatory warnings and studies reveal the link between psychiatric drugs and acts of violence and homicide.
There are also hundreds of cases where high profile acts of violence and mass murder were committed by individuals under the influence of psychiatric drugs.
But despite 27 international drug regulatory warnings on psychiatric drugs, there has yet to be a federal investigation on the link between the drugs and acts of senseless violence.
The dangers of
psychiatric drugs have been known for decades so, as responsible citizens, we have to continue to repeat this message so that the populace is informed and so that school shootings become confined to the history books rather than being the headlines.
“We need to confine school shootings to the
history books.”
