Hawkins was on antidepressants as reported by KETV 7, Omaha and had no reported history of violence until he got on them. Last month it was Pekka-Eric Auvinen who went on a school shooting spree in Finland. He too had commented on the web that he'd taken antidepressants. Two more kids turned into murderers by antidepressants to add to the likes of Jeff Weise who was on Prozac when he killed ten including himself at Red Lake, Minn. and Eric Harris of Columbine fame who was on Luvox. How many more mass murders is it going to take before people get the point. Antidepressants cause some people to become homicidal and suicidal. They now carry FDA-mandated Black Box labels that say as much. I don't think that labeling is helping very much because we are reading about a serious mass murder by someone on antidepressants almost every month. Imagine how many people are out there just killing one or two people and themselves or just themselves on these drugs and it doesn't even make the evening news. When will we demand that the FDA ban antidepressants entirely. And yet if someone light's up a cigarrette, you'd think he just pulled the pin on a grenade in public. Go figure.
