I read C.E.Gant's post (written 16th Dec 2012). He said that the killer was:

"...undoubtedly driven into psychotic violence by a cocktail of psych meds probably potentiated by illicit drugs, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine and/or sugar."

And now we know that's completely wrong. I look forward to C.E.Gant updating his post.

I wonder if he will.

Not completely wrong yet, there are the drug withdrawals that make people go crazy.

That question is: What psychiatric drug was he taking or withdrawing from?"


Anyway check this out,

The Hartford Courant ran a story today documenting the newly completed toxicology report on Adam Lanza. From the looks of it they learned no lessons from their previous attempts at investigation. Here’s the first sentence of the article.

Toxicology tests show that Adam Lanza had no alcohol or drugs in his system when he shot and killed 20 first graders and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown on Dec. 14.

A clear statement of fact, yes? The only problem is the Courant can’t tell you with 100% certainty that what they’ve just written is true. It may be true but as we keep reading we see that the Courant hasn’t actually seen these toxicology reports.

Yep, I agree the Courant is quoting "Law enforcement sources familiar with the test results", so the official verdict isn't out yet.

I stick to my point that C.E.Gant says:

"...undoubtedly driven into psychotic violence by a cocktail of psych meds probably potentiated by illicit drugs, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine and/or sugar."

(Bold mine).

'Undoubtedly' means C.E.Gant is 100% certain that the killings were caused by "a cocktail of psych meds".

(Granted, in the bit you quoted he gives himself a little wriggle room by mentioning withdrawal.)

Later on in the blog post he quotes Socrates: "There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance."

Gant thinks he has 100% certain knowledge about the causes of the killings, but in reality he is as ignorant as the rest of us. It's a horrific and complicated subject.
