Google has fallen down badly in right wing extremists' campaigns of disinformation that now follows mass shootings.
If you typed in the name of the shooter in Texas into Google only hours after the killings, the top search results would have been (and maybe still are) right wing websites alleging various falsehoods including he was a member of antifa, this was another false-flag operation, etc.
The same happened after the October shooting in Las Vegas. Not to mention the yahoos who lack critical thinking skills and believe this garbage - who have been harassing the survivors, accusing them of being "crisis actors" and faking everything. The amount of stupidity that exists in the US is amazing.

He likely will blather on that this is all part of his fake social experiment to prove his delusions that were hypocrites. And that mins honest commentary is equal to the his distortions and dishonest snark and cries of persecution for calling his comments what they are .

Either people are shooting at atheists or they're serving mixed drinks with no spirits in them.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

You made the unsupported, broad brush assertion that the west only sees terrorism in brown skins. You are fucking wrong. Honestly, I get your beef and to a degree, agree with it.

Oops.
https://www.rawstory.com/2017/11/air-for...l-history/
Quote:Air Force says it failed to report Texas shooter’s criminal history
Quote:The U.S. Air Force said on Monday that, according to initial accounts, it failed to provide information as required about a Texas shooter’s criminal history to a key U.S. law enforcement database known as the National Criminal Information Center.
Doesn't matter really. In this fucked up country anyone can get a gun whenever they want one. If all else fails you can steal one from a L-ARGO.

I think it's difficult to tell if they do result in the kind of behavior that results in seemingly senseless killing, as in it's difficult to tell if correlation equals causation. I imagine the kind of person to do a shooting in the first place would be the kind of person to be depressed and be given those pills.
It may sound weird but I'd love to try the drug to see what it does for myself. The columbine killers were on the same drugs and I think a few others were but can't remember off the top of my head which ones.
Given the relative rarity of such events and the ubiquity of SSRI prescriptions, establishing causation seems like a fools errand. Some mentally ill people commit acts of violence, many mentally ill people take psychiatric medication. If there's a causal relationship, it appears to me it's the mental illness, not the medication.
In the panorama documentary I watched there were some professionals in the field of psychology who believed that if Holmes hadn't taken that medication he wouldn't have killed, also Holmes himself wrote in his diaries about what the drugs were doing, saying things along the lines of he now has no fear of consequences, no anxiety, and so on.
That doesn't mean it would have the same result on everyone who takes it, just when certain people take it. But this is just me paraphrasing a documentary I saw.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

Is it too early to say that this shooting happened during mass and that is why it's called a mass shooting?
