Has anyone ever studied the long-term effects of drugs like ritalin? I have to wonder if there is any correlation. Seems to be a lot of younger males doing these shootings.

Good question...
Seems like that's all doctors do any more is put people on meds.
More younger people are on some kind of medication now than ever before.
And we don't know what the long term effect may be for some.
Scary really....

The government knows people get incredibly sympathetic when their own children get murdered -- these psychopaths are preying on the populaces sympathy to get them to beg their government to disarm them. With a possible economic collapse around the corner and a mostly disarmed/highly gun-controlled public... what chance do they have when the real tyranny comes to stamp them down? Or even a foreign power?
Something is bundling up here.
ETA: Then again... "sympathy."

These tweets are a prisitne example of Americans being just catastrophically naive and apathetic on a grand scale. Seriously? Justin Effin Beiber??? Ugh.

It is a crime that the teachers could not shoot back.
It is. No one could shoot back because the law-abiding citizens weren't carrying their weapons because its illegal to do so at educational institutions. It's time to pass laws that make sense and protect the public, not punish or hinder them. Enough feel-good legislation. Time for our worthless criminal politicians to do something that matters.
I heard reports he got the weapons from his mother - the teacher. Why would she have these if she couldn't carry them to school? Why would she need two guns? If she taught/lived in a small town, it didn't seem likely she was in a high crime area.
If over a 100 shoots fired that's a lot of bullets. Maybe a could see a small guns with a few rounds but all of that?

As I posted in another thread:
The more I read about these shootings the more I see a plan to disarm America.
P
Reaction was swift and emotional in Newtown, a picturesque New England community of 27,000 people, as well as across the country and around the world.
Reute rs: Tim Arnone, who went to school with Lanza at Sandy Hook Elementary and at Newtown High School, said they were in the AV-club together, "the nerdiest club in the school." He said Lanza was "driven hard" by his parents, who divorced a few years ago, to do well in school. His mom in particular "pushed him really hard to be smarter and work harder in school." A local landscaper adds that she was an avid gun collector who took him target shooting.

I don't think it was a direct conspiracy as much as it was a predictable side-effect. I'll explain.
The shooter was born with Asperger Syndrome. What causes that? Let's speculate.
I think a lot of the current ADHD, OCD, manic-depressive, autism and such mental disorders are a result of the food industry and vaccinations.
Here's the deal, neurotypical folks of the media: You are far more dangerous to us than we are to you. The mentally ill and the developmentally disabled are far more likely to be your victims than you are to be ours.
Some stats for you, taken from this UK source:
10% of convicted murderers had mental health problems.
25% of the population has mental health problems.
95% of homicides are committed by people without mental illnsses.
People with psychosis are 14 times more likely to be attacked than to be the attackers.
25% of patients with mental illness have been the victim of violent crimes.
Clearly, people with mental illness have more reason to fear those without mental illness. Now, let's look at some developmental disability statistics, shall we?
From The MA government:
More than 90% of developmentally disabled people will be sexually abused.
54% will be sexually abused 10 times or more.
Developmentally disabled adults have a 4-10 times greater likelyhood of being physically assaulted.
3% of these crimes will be reported.
There are no easily available statistics on developmentally disabled perpetrators of crimes, in spite of the media's efforts to paint any and every violent criminal who gets national attention as Autistic.

You're correct that a specific cue or command can be programmed into the individual, but as Fritz Springmeier discusses, an alter personality can also be implanted that will take over the host personality. It's this alter persona that has been programmed to self-destruct. The alters can even linger just below the surface and watch what the host is doing or saying and even rat them out once the handler calls them up after making the host go deeply under.
All this is very complicated stuff. If someone hasn't already been studying it, it's difficult to navigate and comprehend.
