But really, haven't all of these kids been on some kind of strong psychotropic drugs?

Probably. I will say the one whose letter got posted on here awhile back admitted that he stopped taking what the psych had prescribed him and was "self medicating".

Or just off them. But same nexus.

Also, most have listened to violent music and played violent video games.

I'm not making causal links. Just noting similarities.

Not usually at the time, but yes many had been on psychiatric medications at some point in their lives. This would stand to reason, given that those who carry out mass murders are exponentially more likely to have psychiatric disorders than the gen pop.

The issue is the underlying disorder, not the pills. The psychiatric disorder is a very obvious confounding variable.
