Fla. school board shooter had turbulent life

12-15-2010 • AP

The burly, bipolar man who held a Florida school board at gunpoint was frustrated and broke. He was a troubled ex-con with an interest in anarchy, and when his wife was fired from her teaching job and their benefits ran out, he went to the board meeting and said he was prepared to die.

"and took his medications"

Is it coincedence that in a huge percentage of these active shooter cases that the shooter is on a psychotropic medication?

Could these "medications" be a big factor in people going over the edge?

Why is the state trying to get every school child and every foster child on these dangerous medications?

For one so that they can pass ex post facto laws and take away God given rights. There are many other reasons I suspect.

BULL SHIT!

The state first tries to make sure that everyone is medicated and that everyone is a criminal and gets locked up. Then when they decide to commit to revolution the state can marginalize them because the are "nut and a con."

There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. -- (paraphrased: Page 406 of Ayn Rand's, Atlas Shrugged )
