Profoundly ignorant. Do we even know if she was on meds. This shit keeps people from seeking treatment.

It’s not so far fetched. They can have negative effects and especially when over dosed or combined. The source is unreliable but the concept is not unreasonable. The core problem is the weapons but the inclination bears study.

THEN "Shooters are allowed in schools because God isn't." NOW "Trans people are more powerful than God."

If guns are not the issue but anxiety is, can we please see the right push for free healthcare? Doing nothing means you just don't care. Just like their thoughts and prayers have no empathetic element. Disgusting.

Ya I remember the good old days, when the Media just reported the News verbatim, and Politicians kept their mouths SHUT most of the time.

Whadda ya know!

So I guess the golden age of having our rectums be cranium free, is over.

Thoughts and prayers are a fucking insult and an excuse to somehow claim imaginary friends have a fucking thing to do with child mass murders.

Disgusting

We can see where this is headed. The EO on approved renditions of the homeless and those with "mental" disabilities. The ongoing attacks against RFKj for his rants. They are setting a stage to convince the base they know best. Do not believe the lies. Truth: children were killed and hurt with guns!

This is why I said earlier today on another post that a national database of people with mental health issues is a bad thing IT WILL BE USED PUNITIVELY

The answer of why shooting happen is neonazis, with access to guns

RFK, Jr is going to have to pry my SSRI out of my cold dead hands because they’re what keep me alive.

Hey George, your help might be needed as a survivor of WW2 internment camps. It's about this bsky.app/profile/alex... Kinda similar to your past. This is your chance to make yourself useful about issues WAY larger than anything you've posted about so far. Tnx.

🤬🤬🤬

fascist propaganda network says what?

Double ditto disgusting

Anything except reality. That access to guns is stupidly high, for people who should not have them., and that the USA's medical and mental health care systems are broken falling apart, and next best thing to useless

Why is it when a crazy person gets a gun they want to take all the guns away? When a crazy person mows down 30 people with a vehicle they don't want to take all the vehicles away. Trump does ridiculously stupid shit everyday nobody does anything about that.

On a hard campaign to blame Tim Walz. Lowest of lows

So since I'm on SSRIs, it's acceptable for me to act way crazier than I am? I just want to be sure. Alright cool if yall see me on the news remember to blame the SSRIs and avocado toast

Actually the blame is on the bush boys, mcconnell and the scotus scum that gave the 2nd amendment meaning it doesn't have. It actually prohibits federal government shutting down state militias (national guard since 1903). Nothing to do with private ownership of military weapons.

What else can one expect from the Trumputin mouthpiece of propaganda?

That's weird did the shooter throw medication

It's the guns.

I take anxiety medication. It’s never occurred to me to shoot up a school.

They will blame anything and everything but the actual instrument of death

Agree 😖

They are bad people.

They blame everything on mental health issues, yet they're more mentally unstable than most of us who have other mental illnesses, and they cause more than we do.

RFK Jr said it. And I don't think it was the brainworm that made him say it. I think he's a f'ing idiot. His dad would probably have had him committed to a mental institution.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

Faux news and their dear leader will blame everything but them stupid, heartless, hide behind religion selves.

Great. Now he's going to take meds away from kids who really need them. I don't know about SSRIs, but I'm talking about other drugs that help them, too.

I've worked around people who think Fox News is the Bible and Trump is the new Jesus

Because of course they would, instead of actually taking action against the person who was literally telling them they were going to kill...

I didn't realize he threw medication at the victims. I thought it was bullets.

they've gone off the rails

Maybe we should blame Fox.

How about a young man who buys 3 guns in a very short time - anybody suspicious? Doh!

Oof. Her head's so far up her butt everything she sees is framed by teeth.

And Trump was busy on the golf course!

Pretty sure even if the guy was mentally depressed and on medications it was his access to guns that enabled him to plan and murder children. #itstheguns

It really is about the guns and our countries love of guns and violence.

How sad that someone so stupid has a platform to spew such nonsense. I guess her time on The Real World makes her an expert on all subjects.

.... so not gun availability then...

They (FOX NEWS) always blaming everything including bugs, roaches, trees, windmills and the tooth fairy.

While they’re at it they might as well blame “compromised mitochondria” or whatever latest BS RFK Jr can come up with.

Why are we expected to champion ignorance? If one chooses to pray, that's fine, but as a policy in a secular government it's completely insane yet the only mantra we've been fed for nearly time immemorial. Enough is enough. Overturn Citizens United, time for action and to suppress the ammosexuals.

Conservatives: They should have never taken God out of school.

Let me guess the ethnicity of the cowardly murderer.

I'm scared for the Trans Community as a Cis person, this is why I am speaking up! To all reading this: Please do share ALL this thread and take action for we must speak for Trans people. For all Transphobes are EVIL creatures! Deaths of Kids should NEVER be politicised for such an evil gain.

i'm just astonished they didn't blame transgenderism.. though the first thing they did was deadname her..

Yeah, they always blame everything except the easily obtainable gun. 😏

Faux News is a large part of all the societal problems in the USA.

As if no other countries have those issues? It’s the guns you idiots.

The mental hoops these people will jump through...

of course they do.

Totally predictable., too. Anything but what it really is.

Worse ahead. Keeping kids safer means nothing, literally nothing, to these propagandists.

They're the antithesis of pro-life. Only pro-birth.

There is no bottom for them! 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤬🤬🤬🤬

Their policies bring the guns AND the depression. Their idea of mental health is abusing kids in the woods, and vitamin D. Their thoughts must be of joy. Their prayers, of thanks.

An SSRI is a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor. It keeps the serotonin in our brains. An SNRI is a Selective Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor which helps manage the anxious brain. Withdrawal symptoms do not cause violence, they cause wicked physical symptoms. This is complete bullshit...

...and the major contraindications for SSRI/SNRI therapy in terms of non-physical adverse effects are use in those under 18, particularly males, due to increased risk of suicidality. Increased risk of them hurting *themselves* not others...

...lastly, people with serious mental health concern such as psychosis is *not capeable* of planning and carrying out an attack like this. So how about we start blaming unmet needs, a toxic culture, and gun fetishisation instead of the imaginary mental health boogeyman.

As someone who has depression... F$#@ THEM FOR THIS ONE! What next, are they gonna say Autism is caused by medication to spread even more anti-vax type of ideologies? I also have autism so they better not step there lol

Based on literally zero evidence.

FYI - sorry not trying to be insensitive ICE held two fire crews at gunpoint for three hours while checking each person's ID. Leading to many hours delay in controlling the 9000 acre blaze to arrest 2 men. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdSv...

It's beyond disgusting. It is EVIL. These apologists will say ANYTHING to excuse gun-related tragedies because they are fucking MONSTERS.

Just plain evil.

Guns, bigotry and racism are also contribitors.

What an idiot.

SSRIs might possibly be a factor in the mental states of some of the shooters. But there needs to be a serious study done on all the various factors (like the many mass shooters, going back to Charles Whitman, that had damage to/near the temporal lobe or temporal lobe vicinity medical conditions)

Are you a qualified doctor or medical professional?

No but I've taken SSRIs and have know plenty of other people that have, including in the military, that stuff can mess up your head. It is a legitimate concern. Just because right wingers are promoting it for their own motives doesn't mean it's not a valid concern. Have you taken SSRIs?

Damn I am pretty sure we here in the Netherlands have people who take meds , one way or another , and the last time I heard of a shooting was back in 2009 , and that so far the only one I heard of in my home country ... In all my life. Might be something else trough ....

Yeah, because other countries don't also have those things. But you know what they do have? Gun control.

Imagine if the Guardian said this about a shooting. Murdoch would be livid.

Meanwhile, in every other first world nation... *no significant gun violence* Americans love being lied to. There's no other explanation.

Narrative from the propaganda machine has been set.

It’s George Takei expressing strong disapproval, likely about a recent event or issue, though the exact target isn’t clear from the post alone. His reaction suggests something offensive or upsetting to him.

Every country has depressive people. Every country has SSRIs. Every country has unstable people. Only the US has more guns than people, and gun laws written by the firearms industry. It’s the guns.

Arm the kids. May as well.

They have to blame it on something other that republicans who are totally responsible for it

🤬
