German school shooter took antidepressant

Whenever there's a shooting massacre at a school or elsewhere, it's 99% safe to say that the shooter was under the influence of psychiatric drugs.

Now it's been revealed that the school shooter in Winnenden, Germany, who left 17 dead including himself, had been taking an unspecified antidepressant. This fact is only now coming to light in America.

I know what the excuse is going to be. Detractors will say this is just an isolated incident, and that it's just a coincidence that someone taking psychiatric drugs would participate in a shooting like this.

Except this isn't an isolated incident. And most other shootings or incidents like this have also occurred under the influence of psychotropic toxins:

Omaha (2007) - Mall shooter took antidepressants and Valium.

Joleka, Finland (2007) - School shooter took antidepressants.

Cleveland (2007) - School shooter took the antidepressant Trazadone and the ADHD drug Clonidine.

Virginia Tech (2007) - University shooter took antidepressants.

Red Lake Indian Reservation, Minnesota (2005) - School shooter took Prozac.

Greenbush, New York (2004) - School shooter took antidepressants.

El Cajon, California (2001) - School shooter took Effexor and Celexa.

Wahluke, Washington (2001) - Teenager who held class hostage with rifle took Effexor.

Williamsport, Pennsylvania (2000) - School shooter took Prozac.

Conyers, Georgia (1999) - School shooter took antidepressants.

Littleton, Colorado (1999) - At least one of the Columbine shooters took Luvox.

Notus, Idaho (1999) - School shooter took antidepressants.

Taber, Alberta (1999) - School shooter took Dexedrine.

Springfield, Oregon (1998) - School shooter took Prozac.

Why is the media continuing to live in denial that there's a link between shooting rampages and psychotropic drugs? This denial isn't doing society any good.

I think it's time for a full-on government investigation into this link.
