I have not seen this issue addressed yet in connection with the recent
Florida shooting. Has anyone else seen whether prescription drug use
was confirmed or denied in connection with that shooting? Of course,
there is no obligation by the defendant or his family to discuss this,
unless the defense counsel feels it is helpful to the case.

Before you buy.
Here's the growing list of prescription drug use by alleged school
shooters:
1. Oregon high school killer Kip Kinkel (Ritalin and Prozac).
2. Columbine killer Eric Harris was withdrawing from Luvox.
3. Georgia school alleged shooter T.J. Solomon (Ritalin).
4. Oklahoma middle school alleged shooter Seth Trickey was on two
drugs described to have psychotic effects (AP 6/11/00).

It is a red herring issue, Andy's favorite food. Neither of the Colubine
shooters were on meds, and in the other circumstance, only one, I believe, was
on meds.
Even if they were all on meds, Andy still has todraw a logical andprovable
cause and effect between taking medications and shooting.
He cannot do that.

What is your point? It is not surprising that students doing school shootings
have a history of mental disorders requiring medication. How many were not
taking their prescribed drug?

Ritalin is successfully used to ttreat kids with ADD and behavioral disorder,
and does not incraease, but actually lowers behavioral problems. Want to see
the cites, Andy? Oh, that's right, facts confuse you. Sorry.
>2. Columbine killer Eric Harris was withdrawing from Luvox.
That is an incorrect statement. Harris had stopped taking Luvox over one month
prior to the shooting. According to www.metalhealth.com monograph on Luvox
(Fluvoxamine):
Metabolism and Elimination:
Fluvoxamine undergoes extensive hepatic transformation, mainly via oxidative
demethylation, to at least 9 metabolites, which are excreted by the kidney.
Ninety-four percent of an oral radioactive dose is recovered in the urine
within 48 hours. The 2 major metabolites showed negligible pharmacological
activity. In vitro binding of fluvoxamine to human plasma proteins is about 77%
at drug concentrations up to 4000 ng/mL.
IOW, 94% gone in two days. How much is left after a month?
>3. Georgia school alleged shooter T.J. Solomon (Ritalin).
See above.
>4. Oklahoma middle school alleged shooter Seth Trickey was on two
>drugs described to have psychotic effects (AP 6/11/00).
He was on Inderal, for migraines, and Kenalog, a steroid. Inderal is not known
to create a psychotic state. However, Kenalog, used to treat poison ivy, does
have a strong history of causing one. Next time, let him scratch!

What "hate" are you speaking of? I haven't even used the term...
Oh, you mean my disdain for immoral and atheistic behavior?
My utter dislike for any liberal in hollywood and their
"self-righteous", sex and curse filled television shows?
This liberal term of "hate" is so darned ridiculous...Just because I
dennounce the liberal agenda, doesn't mean that I "hate" anyone...
Quit the parroting of the standard liberal buzzword crap and explain
to me the hate-filled diatribes...If you don't dennounce the liberal

Hey, Andy, demonstrate, by verifiable sources that these students were
mistreated. Merely stating that they took medication is not proof of
mistreatment.
If every student who takes one of these drugs initiates a school shooting,
then Andy, I would say you would have something. Hmmm... I wonder how many of

But, rather than checking this or any other fact, you spread your manure and
treat it like gospel.
Your sentence says it all. She registered to vote! That's unAmerican according
your fantasy.
Let's have a free exchance of ideas, not your insults. If your so-called PC
conservatism is the better method, let it win in the court of public debate.
Let's have no more of your slanderous backhanded careless attacks.
What other careless attacks have you made? What other unbased tales have your
told?
Reminds me of old Bob Novak who, when he heard that Rudy was dropping out,
said, on National TV, "Did you ever notice that bad things happen to people who
oppose the Clintons?" as if Mrs. Clinton had anything to do with Rudy's cancer
and his playing around in spite of his marriage vows.
But, let's face it, the right wing X-tians do a pretty good job of scumming
themselves. Did Hillary force the Newt to abandon his wife and kids for a dame?
Did Hillary force Henry Hyde to play around on the side? Did Hillary have
anything to do with Livingstone? No. But it sounds good to the Laura Limbaugh
crowd.
Thanks for the wonderful example of your unAmericanism.

Wow, an out of the closet Klinton supporter.
I'd put my raincoat back on, the shades, and get back under your rock.
Lots of posts in this thread, but no one addressed the initial question
of whether the alleged Florida student killer was on behavior-modifying
prescription drugs. Given all the other examples, this is an obvious
question necessary to understand why the killing occurred.
One poster claimed that this issue had already been addressed in other
threads. I doubt it, but will go look if someone can point to
something substantive on this specific issue.
I don't recall school shootings before so many kids were given these
drugs. So in terms of causation, we've got a prime suspect.
Disagree. I do not believe that Christianity, Shintoism, B'hai,
or Wiccan is a cult. However, I believe that the various specie
of the so-called Messianic Jews are.
The distinction I make is in their practices of recruitment and
retention. Cults practice forms of brainwashing in recruitment
and retention.
I have read the J4J manual on recruitment, and it was scary. It
reminded me quote vividly of the training I received in
survival, escape and evasion and how to deal with brainweashing
if captured.
Another excellent example is the Cult of $cientology.

Funny, you know so much about raincoats...what do you know about
doorways??
Of the four shooting you made reference to, one was off
medication for at least a month at the time of the shooting
(imagine if he had stayed on it, maybe there would have been no
shooting) and theother was taking Inderal and Kenalog, one for
migraines the other for poison ivy.
Scratch that one!

Of course you would. That's because you are a parrot. You say what they want
you to say. You don't think for yourself, so when you have an original thought,
you get scared and crawl back under your rock.
Clinton supporters. Bad. Right along with the 60-70% of the American people who
have consistently supported this President. You may hang out with a very
narrow-minded crowd, but it doesn't appear to be the mainstream. Remember, win,
lose, or draw, he was your President for eight years. More to the point,
Hillary Clinton has a shot at winning the Senate seat in New Yorc. But anyone
who supports the Clintons is a radical nut, right?

Even so. Even if true. That was her right as an American. That's what the
Revolution was about. That's what the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are
about. That's why we have elections and not shoot-'em-ups every couple of
years. That's why it's OKAY to disagree with the President or with the Kongress
or both. Get it? If she voted commie for a few years, and you haven't made that
case, it wouldn't have been contrary to laws of the United States of America.
Only in your fantasy. Did you think think that Desilu was a communist front?
Was Desi sending money to Castro? Wake up, man! Have an original thought for
once.
The killer that you claim was off medication for at least a month was
Eric Harris. In fact, the autopsy proved he had Luvox in his system at
the time of his murders. "Tests from the autopsy on Harris showed
therapeutic levels of the psychotropic drug Luvox (Fluvoxomine), one of
the new selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, commonly
prescribed for obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD, and depression."
Insight on the News, Dec. 13, 1999, author O'Meara, Kelly Patricia.
The other alleged shooter you cite is Seth Trickey. As reported by AP,
"And three weeks before the shooting, Trickey was given a large
injection of the prescription poison ivy drug Kenalog, said Dr. William
Banner, a toxicologist and medical director of the Oklahoma Poison
Center. Kenalog is a steroid alleged to have psychotic effects on some
users, according to the three medical experts who testified at the
hearing. 'Even in routine doses, these drugs can produce a psychotic
break,' Banner said." Trickey had also taken another drug that can
cause depression, according to the AP story.

Yeah, but it's getting pretty easy around here to identify the
posers and imposters.
The United States is an overly Christian nation (despite what the Supreme Court
said yesterday).
Obviously, the vast majority of people who commit any crimes are going to be
Christians.
Note: I have a very liberal definition of Christian, like if you believe in
Christ, you are a Christian -- that includes Catholics.
The real data point here is that 60 of 80 of these kids interviewed by a
psychologist's group were from divorced or single-parent home, and most of the
rest had serious problems at hime.
27 of 28 actual shooters were on Prozac.

Unfortunately, if that is the case, you missed a newbie webtver who
actually wants to join the discussion and (surprise) asked about
what to do and how the discussions worked. Despite the fact that
I will jump on the idiot ones or ignore them, there are some good
reasons to think that there are webtvers who have brains lurking
about and that they would make good additions to the discussions
here.
One of my best net-friends says that killfiles are the last resort
of closed minds. I've used it very infrequently so I understand the
impulses involved, but on the whole, I think my friend is correct.
You never know when even the most idiotic poster may offer something
of value and if you killfile him, you might just miss the gems.

The US may be a nation populated by Christians. However, there is not any
unaniminty within Christian groups on what it means to be Christian. In fact,
different groups have vastly different definitions on what it means to be
Christian.

How magnamious of you. I have been told, by a number of people, that unless I
claim Christ as my personal saviour, I am not a Christian. This is despite the
fact that I was batized, received my first holy communion, was confirmed and
was married according the rites of the Catholic Church.

Simple minded approach, though. It sounds good, but most issues are a good
deal more complex than that. Time is a major consideration. Of course, a
newsgroup is by definition a champion time waster, but one can't spend all day
at it. That means that some selectivity is important. Some folks are crude; the
maggot thing is crude. I don't receive those. I just get the echo effect which
is nasty enough. There are some I killfiled the first time I met them, and I
haven't regretted it, given the quotes that are attributed to them. There are
other people who I do not generally agree with and who are just as disgusting
as the ones in the killfile, but I keep quite a few around for laughs and to
monitor the fringe. One person's killfile is an individual matter. We know that
some people killfile because they can't handle the arguments, and it makes them
feel more secure like the Geneal or the Sarge. But others killfile because they
just don't want the noise. There are many reasons. I don't think it requires a
closed mind to killfile.

Doubtful. If it is really good then someone will reply to it and I will see
it. Killfiles help me weed out several hundred messages a day. I can't read
every message and I choose to read posts I choose to read. Are there threads
you ignore? Then you would be doing the same thing. Being selective isn't
being close-minded. I have friends on WebTV as well, but I will tell them to
their faces that WebTV is for idiots.
I do ignore topics which don't interest me, so that weeds out some
things to be sure. I had only one or two addy's I kfed though
because despite the crap, they still come through with interesting
opinions on occasion. Different approaches I suppose. I just
figure if someone contributes to a thread that I want to read, I
would rather see *all* the contributions, even though some add
little to the mix.

I bet that will p*ss Catholics off. They *started* Christianity and it is

Wrong. The kids were interviewed by the psychological services section of the
United States Secret Service and they were found to be uniformly victims of
peer abuse. There were *some* with problems at home, but, it was not endemic as
you attempt to portray.

Are you referring to the gunman who shot and killed seven people,
wounded seven others, and then shot himself at a youth rally in Fort
Worth? If you are, you should know that he was neither a Christian nor
a kid. I know, because earlier this year, I interviewed a minister who
was there when it happened. (I work as a part-time stringer, so I was
assigned to do so.)
Not only was the gunman, Larry Ashcroft, NOT born-again (in which case
he would not have been murdering innocent kids), he cursed
denominational religion and the idea of Jesus Christ. A Christian would
not have said such things.

Being born-again automatically exempts someone from committing any kind of
crime? Hmmmm. I understand that the people who take religion seriously and
are truly committed to their beliefs usually aren't the type to shoot up a
church, but I'd bet some folks slip through the cracks. The two are not
mutually exclusive.

It appears that Christians are never responsible for any bad acts, since
the moment the commit a bad act, they 'never would have done such
things' if they were Christians.

Have they changed the rules again? Must one be born again in order to
be a Christian? Does the Pope know about this?
> he cursed

>
And the point? This doesn't change the fact that many a murderer was
raised within a religious or very religious environment. What happened?
What went wrong? At what particular moment did "a murderer" stop being
a Christian and why? No, at the moment he/she takes a life, it would
be hard to say he/she was behaving as a good Christian (or a good
anything). But that doesn't negate any religious influence. Indeed,
perhaps the influence was a contributing factor to his NOT being a
Christian.
Not that *I* necessarily believe this but this was all in response
to someone speculating about ... what the school shooters
might have had in common. And Christianity is as relevant as anything
else on the list at this particular moment.
They call themselves Christian. What should we call them? Can't
call them Jews For Jesus, even though those critters are
Christians.

Was he raised in a Christian home? Note, that is opposed to a Jewish, etc.

Kind of gives them the same credibility as those "psychics" who claim their

:>The United States is an overly Christian nation (despite what the Supreme

There is a difference between individual identity and corporate
identity. Corporately, Germany, in the Forties, killed six million
Jews. Did every German help in the killing? No. The nation as a group,
however, did this.
Individually, every American Indian is a US Citizen. Just because this
is true, it does not negate the fact that corporately, the Tribes that
hold treaties still get whatever benefits that come from those treaties.
People are dealt with on an individual level and a corporate level by
both God and Man. When we were bombing Sarajevo last year, were we
bombing indivduals or nations? Nations are a form of corporate
identity. The US Supreme Court has taken a stand that the US is to be
corporately atheist. This is the position that they have taken since
forbidding school led prayer. Corporate identity is integral to
humans. That is where families come from as do gangs as do nations.
That is not true, Magi. I've seen Muslims attend Church a few
times. These people didn't convert. My pastor has seen non-Christian
men, who have taken an interest in a Christian woman, start attending
church for a while, in hopes of getting the Lady's attention. My pastor
warns about that, from time to time. I know personally of a case in
which a woman tried the same thing.
Robert
And did these Muslims attend church claiming membership in them?
My children attended church with their friends on occasion, but
never made any claim to be Christian. There is a difference though,
they didn't go every Sunday with their families and hold to
Christian belief. If someone self-defines as Christian and attenda
a Christian church or simply reads and follow the Bible than he is a
Christian, imho.

On one of those Dateline type shows a few months ago there was a story of a 13
yo jewish boy who went to a church at the invitation of a friend. Apparently
he was so impressionable that he even let the pastor talk to him for some
period of time after the service. By the time they were through with him he was
so confused he ended up canceling his bar mitzvah that was to be held in a few
weeks. The pastor was totally unapologetic over his heavy handed tactics with
the boy and was convinced that he was just trying to "save" him.
That is called soul stealing.
It is cause for locking the gates.
If you can't sell a soul then how can you steal one?

One of the classic examples of mass soul stealing was perpetrated by the LDS
folks a few years back.
They took the lists of those who were murdered in the Nazi Camps and listed
them in their geneological tracts. That is step one in conversion to Mormonism.
They quit it after some resounding criticism by various Rabbis, etc., but, they
never unlisted the names.

Are you familiar with the White Rose? The fact that those people denied

I hate it when people running vbs do things like give coupons for bringing

From what I understand, many Jewish Christians say that Isaiah 53 when
shown to them was the Scripture that brought them into Christendom. That
doesn't surprise me.
