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?
