Thomas Lifson: Florida school shooter in custody may offer an opportunity to explore role of medications in school massacres
. . . "Or...maybe we should examine the widespread use of psychotropic stimulant drugs, such as Ritalin, on male pupils in schools, which began to be used on a wide scale in 1996. Particularly when the drug use stops, there may be undesirable consequences.

"I am not suggesting that anyone knows with certainty that there is a relationship, but rather that this is a factor that should be studied closely. Now that a shooter is alive and capable of talking to authorities, his drug use should be examined, as should the use of pharmaceuticals by other shooters."

Nothing has hit me as hard as the Sandy Hook children's massacre after which I wrote this:
Seeking an effective argument FOR gun control (Posted here after the terrible Sandy Hook massacre)
. . . "You want to talk about influence? My pick for most at fault is the terrifying and dangerous Democrat indoctrination of our youth, pervasive throughout virtually every industry in America – from media to technology to anti-Second Amendment groups, most notably Everytown for Gun Safety, led by Michael Bloomberg, New York's former mayor.
The Tunnel Wall; Tuesday, December 18, 2012 Here, two respected writers discuss the case against taking away individual firearms from Americans. Yes, it is true that if guns did not exist everywhere in this nation those little children in Sandy Hook would be living right now and I only wish that were the case. But it is not and there are violent people out there in their thousands and they are armed; willing and lusting to watch innocent people die in bunches by their hands. How, exactly do you gun-control advocates plan to remove those weapons from their blood-thirsty hands?I will honestly look for a reasoned argument FOR gun control that contains effective means for keeping us safe from those who carry weapons illegally and are willing to do us harm. Cartoons showing crazed, wild-eyed gun owners don't wash.As yet, I have seen only politically correct, emotional responses to the issue that have no value other than simply making a politician look as if they are doing something.

'I’LL DO WHAT HE DID' Florida shooting gunman Nikolas Cruz ‘vowed on YouTube video LAST YEAR to commit massacre… but nothing was done despite being flagged to the FBI’ Video testimony of man who saw the kid's post and reported it.
"THE Florida school shooter left a chilling comment on a YouTube video about another mass shooting last year promising a copycat attack, it has been claimed."
From 2017: Mass shooters want fame. Here's why we should stop giving it to them. . . . " 'While there's a spike in shootings following an incident, there's an even bigger spike in reported plots," Newman said. "This is because people are vigilant and come forward with their suspicions and concerns."
"So how can the press cover these events and not give killers the attention they may crave?" . . .

It Would Have Been Nice If The FBI Had Interviewed Nikolas Cruz After He Announced His Intentions… . . . "But we don’t arrest people for criminal thoughts. It takes criminal action to get you off the streets.

"In a better world there would be a way to intervene in the life of a Nikolas Cruz before he ends the lives of others. But this case shows we don’t have a competent enough authority to identify a Nikolas Cruz much less to give him the help he needs. The FBI had him on a silver platter and couldn’t stop him." . . .
