Soros donates to those guys

Soros => Rothschild => UN => UN Gun Control Treaty :2 cents:

these guys look pretty hard but the fact is they only shoot each other in the back from a distance... and usually hit a few kids as well... :2 cents:

yeah and don't forget about the serial killers in the Mideast running wild with bombs and dumb asses

lets ban 25 years old then...

Wouldn't be surprised if the increase in violent video games has also contributed to this.

Its all the crazys who think the worlds going to end, beleafe in bullshit is mans greatest weakness

They are looking to ban guns.

the point of the original question was that I was curious if it is a product of a certain generation that may have been the beginning of the usage of psychiatric drugs at a young age to treat all of the newfangled psychiatric conditions like ADD and ADHD, so I wonder if there might be a huge danger in messing with the brain chemistry of young developing children where they prescribe drugs to schoolkids which wasn't done to anywhere close to the same extent a generation before that

I wonder about how many of these shooters and what their histories were with psychiatric "meds" ??

Between 1990 and 1995, use of methylphenidate more than doubled, according to a 1996 study at Johns Hopkins University. By mid-1995, it found, nearly 3 percent of American children and youths, or about 2.5 million, were taking it. And that number appears to have kept rising, so that by now, it may have hit 3.75 million, according to a rough estimate by Dr. Lawrence Diller, author of "Running on Ritalin" (Bantam, 1998).

From what I've read it seems the majority of kids who have shot up schools were on some kind of SSRI's.

thank you for this, I suspected as much

Are we playing Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon?

Kevin Bacon has a house in NY and mingles with Soros at parties. Could be him.

it took you 25 years and 8 countries worth of history to come up with a list that rivals the mass shooting in the USA during 2012, a year that is not even over yet.

sure made your point there.

Because it is news today. It was not news last week. Shit happens every day, it does not always make International news.

:2 cents::2 cents:

I read in an article yesterday that half of the worst mass shootings in the U.S. throughout history have taken place since 2007.

I also read an article that before Friday the top three worst shootings in history never even happend in the U.S.
