[drugawareness] PROZAC: MN School Shooting Leaces 10 Dead

 

 

 

 

 

Many of you have been asking and wondering if this latest school

shooting was not yet another " antidepressant moment " as were the

majority of the others.

 

The answer to that is, " Yes, of course. " There was every clue . . .

the black clothes, the obsession with Nazi's or Arian groups, cutting

himself off from family members, obsession with death (suicidal and

homicidal ideation) including extreme violence, impulsive murder and

suicide, etc.

 

" He was taking the anti-depressant Prozac and at least once was

hospitalized for suicidal tendencies, said Gayle Downwind, a cultural

coordinator at Red Lake Middle School, who taught Weise. It was not

uncommon for Weise to spend at least one night a week at her home. "

 

Keep in mind that this is the only antidepressant " approved " for

children and teens as " safe and effective " by our wonderful FDA. Just

another " Whoops! " that cost ten more innocent victims their lives in

Red Lake, MN and one young boy his reputation - all for the love of

money. This blood and the blood of thousands of other victims cries

out so loudly against them that it is a wonder they can sleep.

RED LAKE, Minn. †" Two days after a shooting rampage on the Indian

reservation in Red Lake left 10 dead, friends, relatives and neighbors

of the teenage assailant began to sketch a portrait of a deeply

disturbed youth who had been treated for depression in a psychiatric

ward, lost several close family members, sketched gruesome scenes of

armed warriors and had been removed from the school where he gunned

down most of his victims Monday.

 

Still, even the few people close to him were at a loss to pinpoint

precisely what triggered Jeff Weise’s deadly outburst, and officials

provided little information about the 16-year-old gunman.

 

On the Red Lake Indian Reservation, officials held a private prayer

service Wednesday night and met to discuss when students might be able

to return to school. Superintendent Stuart Desjarlait said it might

take months for the high school to reopen because of the

“extensive damage†from Monday’s rampage. Five students, a

teacher and a security guard were killed at the school. Seven students

were wounded, and two remained in critical condition Wednesday at a

hospital in Fargo, N.D.

 

Federal authorities said they were conducting autopsies on the gunman

and his nine victims, but FBI spokesman Paul McCabe said he did not

anticipate releasing any information in the near future. Tribal

leaders were even less forthcoming, strictly limiting reporters’

movements.

 

Tensions rose throughout Wednesday, with some residents whispering

fears that if they spoke to outsiders they would suffer retribution.

Residents of neighboring communities offered cautionary tales about

violence on the reservation, and the Justice Department created a task

force to deal with gangs when Red Lake suffered five homicides in

seven months in 2002. Because Red Lake is a “closed†reservation,

it operates as a sovereign nation, running its own police force and

dictating who may set foot on the property.

 

Those willing to be interviewed described Weise as a young man who

drifted among various homes on the reservation, listening to heavy

metal music, proclaiming his affinity for Adolf Hitler and

periodically showing up at the high school, even though Desjarlait

said that six months ago he had ordered Weise to stay at home for

tutoring.

 

He was taking the anti-depressant Prozac and at least once was

hospitalized for suicidal tendencies, said Gayle Downwind, a cultural

coordinator at Red Lake Middle School, who taught Weise.

 

It was not uncommon for Weise to spend at least one night a week at

her home.

 

In his 16 years, Weise lost many relatives. He was estranged from

other family members and had a strained relationship with Daryl

Lussier, the grandfather he killed at the start of Monday’s rampage.

Family and friends said that Weise’s father, Daryl Lussier Jr.,

committed suicide in 1997. Two years later, a serious automobile

accident killed a cousin and left Weise’s mother with partial

paralysis and brain damage.

 

Then, about two years ago, “his other grandfather on his mom’s

side passed away,†an aunt, Kim Desjarlait, told NBC’s “Todayâ€

show. “You are dealing with three deaths within eight years. I think

for a kid starting at 10 years old, that’s a lot to take.â€
