[drugawareness] VIRGINIA TECH SHOOTER ON ANTIDEPRESSANTS

 

 

As all of you would have expected . . . it would not be long before we

found out what the shooter was taking. And it has just been released by the

media that he was taking antidepressants and having serious reactions to

them that we are used to seeing like starting a fire in his dorm, a long

rambling letter describing grievances - a particular dislike for the rich.

We already had several clues of antidepressant-induced automatic behaviors

such as REM Sleep Disorder: the time of day being early morning for this

incident and the calm demeanor of the shooter. We also have the

antidepressant- induced manic behaviors: fire starting, violent and aberrant

behavior & rambling letters of complaints. We have antidepressant-induced

Autisic behaviors of not socializing, being a loner. Stalking. False

allegations of abuse. Too many things were beginning to add up especially

for all of us who are aware of these reactions that I document in my book.

 

Mark Taylor and his mother Donna have been here visiting with me for the

past couple of weeks. So, we did local media interviews yesterday on the VA

Tech shootings. The possible antidepressant connection was mentioned in

every interview. I have included them for you below.

Feel free to share them with your local media. And we are certainly

available for more interviews.

The suspected gunman in the Virginia Tech shooting rampage, Cho Seung- Hui,

was a troubled 23-year-old senior from South Korea who investigators believe

left an invective-filled note in his dorm room, sources say.

 

The note included a rambling list of grievances, according to sources. They

said Cho also died with the words " Ismail Ax " in red ink on the inside of

one of his arms.

 

Cho had shown recent signs of violent, aberrant behavior, according to an

investigative source, including setting a fire in a dorm room and allegedly

stalking some women.

 

A note believed to have been written by Cho was found in his dorm room that

railed against " rich kids, " " debauchery " and " deceitful charlatans "

on campus.

 

" Investigators believe Cho at some point had been taking medication for

depression. They are examining Cho's computer for more evidence. "

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- The suspected gunman in the Virginia Tech shooting

rampage, Cho Seung-Hui, was a troubled 23-year-old senior from South Korea

who investigators believe left an invective-filled note in his dorm room,

sources say.

 

The note included a rambling list of grievances, according to sources. They

said Cho also died with the words " Ismail Ax " in red ink on the inside of

one of his arms.

 

Cho had shown recent signs of violent, aberrant behavior, according to an

investigative source, including setting a fire in a dorm room and allegedly

stalking some women.

 

A note believed to have been written by Cho was found in his dorm room that

railed against " rich kids, " " debauchery " and " deceitful charlatans " on

campus.

 

The English major from Centreville, Va., a rapidly growing suburb of

Washington, D.C., came to the United States in 1992, an investigative source

said. He was a legal permanent resident.

 

His family runs a dry cleaning business and he has a sister who graduated

from Princeton University, according to the source.

 

Investigators believe Cho at some point had been taking medication for

depression. They are examining Cho's computer for more evidence.

 

The gunman's family lived in an off-white, two-story town house in

Centreville.

 

" He was very quiet, always by himself, " neighbor Abdul Shash said of the

gunman. Shash said the gunman spent a lot of his free time playing

basketball, and wouldn't respond if someone greeted him. He described the

family as quiet.

 

Marshall Main, who lives across the street, said the family had lived in the

townhouse for several years.

 

According to court records, Virginia Tech Police issued a speeding ticket to

Cho on April 7 for going 44 mph in a 25 mph zone, and he had a court date

set for May 23.

 

Cho was found among the 31 dead found in an engineering hall. Police said

the victims laid over four classrooms and a stairwell.

 

" He was a loner, " said Larry Hincker, a university spokesman, who added that

investigators are having some difficulty unearthing information about him.

 

A law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the

information had not been announced, said Cho was carrying a backpack that

contained receipts for a March purchase of a Glock 9 mm pistol.

 

Ballistics tests by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms

showed that one gun was used in Monday's two separate campus attacks that

were two hours apart.

 

As a permanent legal resident of the United States, Cho was eligible to buy

a handgun unless he had been convicted of any felony criminal charges, a

federal immigration official said.

 

Police said Cho killed 30 people in a Virginia Tech engineering building

Monday morning and then killed himself.

 

Another two students were shot to death two hours earlier in a dorm room on

the opposite side of the university's sprawling 2,600-acre campus, bringing

the day's death toll to 33.

 

Students at Harper Hall, the campus dormitory where Cho lived, said they had

little interaction with him and no insight into what might have motivated

the attack.

 

Timothy Johnson, a student from Annandale, Va., said people would say hello

to Cho in passing, but nobody knew him well.
