    (As an aside, wonder if he was taking any medicine for his mental health issues? Many people treated for mental illness are prescribed drugs. Some drugs help a lot. Some make things worse for some patients.)https://twitter.com/CNN/status/964267071226990592 …

        It's always mental illness as the reason why people flip out. It depends on the color of your skin when a major incident of mass killing occurs. In San Francisco, never mental illness. The many killings in Maryland by juveniles means a life sentence in prison. What's your take?

        I think anybody who can mass kill is mentally ill regardless of supposed motivations. Not an excuse, but how I see it. Someone who isn't extremely sick cannot kill innocent humans.

        What does "In God we trust" mean? It was added as an expression of our nation's faith in God. God has not changed. If we look closely we'll see the core issue ppl play. Read, Sodom and Gomorrah, in the Bible. God is always present. If we'd seek Him, His kingdom, & Righteousness.pic.twitter.com/ItRy3h117N

        Has there been any study that you have seen that evaluated the connection between medication and shootings. It sure seems like a lot (if not all) of the shootings have been conducted by persons who medication (for mental illness) has been subscribed.

        I don't think anyone would front the study. Remember studies are often typically paid for by someone wanting to promote an interest, not those who are happy with whatever the results truly show.

        Perhaps if we had a government that really wanted to solve a problem instead of just making political points they could fund such a study....Nah thats a crazy idea.

        Yes, important point. I worked in a Mental Health Hospital 32 yrs. folks had serious issues, but when they really went of the deep end, it revolved around medications. Too much, not enough or they just didn't take it!

        I would like to know what music and video games he was involved with. Also, how is it that FBI could not find the Twitter feed showing Cruz' posting of guns, etc. Someone DID notify them, didn't they? Cruz was on FBI radar for 8 months....yes? Looks like FBI fouled up again.

        Psychotropic drugs seem to be a common theme in many of these mas shootings.

        Here’s what I always wonder. How many of these deranged acts do the perpetrators take prescription drugs at the same time they are using illegal drugs & alcohol? I would bet almost always time frames leading up to are intertwined.

        Interesting that #bigpharma always seems to successfully suppress that information on #MSM They can no longer control the narrative with a few corporate news outlets. The house of cards is coming down!
