I want to know if this kid was on psychotropic drugs and what his status was in that regard. Just stopped them? Just started them? What's different today?
I sometimes wonder about the so called "need" for the medication. Why is it that people grew up just fine without it and now it seems many parents want to "medicate" their children?

Glad this nutball was stopped before he could act on his plan. Not sure what is going on with kids in schools today.
It's one of those paradoxes that aren't so paradoxical when you realize what is going on. Why do people have an increased suicide risk (or other anti-social behavior) while on Anti-Depressants? Because anti-depressants do very little to remove the bad thoughts of the person, it just numbs their emotions. People still contemplate suicide while on anti-depressants, they just are less afraid to follow through.
Of all the millions of kids in the U.S., some of them are going to be misfits. Some people are just screwed up from nature and or nurture. We can try and not aggravate them, have the best mental health system we can, but in the end there will always be outliers that are just a ticking time bomb lurking in the shadows.
