All the kooks in that town should start GoFundme for him… that would be the least they could do.

I think Open Carry just gets rid of concerns people had with semi-visible guns under presumed concealed carry requirements.

Do SSRIs cause people to commit murder?

Or are severely depressed people more likely to commit murder and take antidepressants.

We've spent plenty of time in St. Charles for a variety of maladies and can't say enough good about the doctors/surgeons there. Also, the Ronal McDonald house across the parking lot was fantastic when we needed it.

Depressed people are far more likely to hurt themselves and aren't particularly prone to murdering anybody. The SSRI's that are often cited as a contributor to these mass killings are effective at treating depression, but it's unfair because these murderers are being misdiagnosed with depression as the primary mental health issue and so they're being treated with the wrong medication. Psychiatrists & psychologists often treat patients with mental illness that can't be effectively treated with existing meds (personality disorders, psychopaths, sociopaths, etc.), but have concurrent depression because they're mentally ill and so they're prescribed the SSRI's in hopes of improving their day to day functioning.


TLDR - mentally ill murderers are not committing these crimes because of the SSRI's, but rather because of the underlying mental illness that's contributing to their depression that the SSRI's are attempting to treat

Twisted teen gunman John J. Griffin II has been pictured for the first time glaring menacingly at the camera since he unleashed a deadly mass shooting at an Oregon elementary school.

Griffin, 16, is seen in the eerie photo posted on Facebook by his mother, Shauntai May Nickerson, on Sept. 10 just over a month before he killed three students, ages 5, 8, and 11, and a teacher at Silver Rail Elementary School on Thursday.

There, the young gunman stormed toward the special education classroom, where he was once a student.

He was fatally shot by hero dad, Kaylub Giamanco, who saw Griffin enter the building with a gun while driving home for his lunch break.

The mother and son also appeared in a 2020 article about students in the Bend-La Pine School District's NEST program a specialized program for students experiencing intensive behavioral and social skills challenges returning to the classroom after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nickerson told KTVZ21 at the time that her 10-year-old son, whom she referred to by the first name "Griffin," was struggling with learning from home.

"I think it will be great for Griffin, because I am not certified teaching a special needs student," Nickerson told the outlet. "And I think it will be great for my son to get the help that he needs from the skilled teachers that he needs to get it from."

The prevalence of SSRI's is alarming though. Had my annual a few weeks ago and mentioned that the ringing in my ears was recently, dramatically worse on one side. First recommendation was to see an ENT. Good advice. Second, almost immediate recommendation, start SSRI. I am hunting for a new GP.
