Phil Naessens and I discuss how the culture is creating killers…and what to do about it.
We reference this article I wrote last week.

Great show and I’m listening to it right now. I’m listen to all these reasons why young people are lashing out but I think there is one key thing that is missing.
We are drugging young people with psych meds from a very young age. Many people I grew up with were put on these drugs at 10, 11, and 12 years of age.
We are the first generation in history to have our brain chemistry screwed with by big pharma.
Just something to consider.
Am in total agreement with Seraphim’s observation… Turn the clock back to the beginning of time (my youth)… Disruptive kids first went to the Principal’s office where, if required she had the means to get to the seat of their understanding… When all else failed, by 5th and 6th grade there was a separate class with a tough, smart teacher who focused on the handful of problem kids … I can think of two examples, one was a girl, who terrorized us all, from a broken home with a mother who had ‘boyfriends’ and the other was a doctor’s son, who was a typical, but full of mischief boy… They both were smart and became solid citizens… She a mormon and he a surgeon with a great family… Would medicating them have had a different outcome? I think yes.
I realize today we live in a different world. But troubled kids need help – good appropriate help. They (and their teachers) dont need or deserve to be ignored … or medicated into neutrality or worse
This latest shooter does appear to be a sociopath that probably should have been spotted and institutionalized… Dunno
