Elliot Roger, another psychiatric drug induced rampage ?

The toxicology report is likely done by now but big media won't say anything or ask questions that might harm their pharma sponsors who spend billions on all those "ask your doctor" drug ads they play every 5 minutes.

"All of the classes of psychiatric drugs can cause violent, irrational, and/or manic behavior. Among other effects, these drugs cause a neurological condition called “akathesia,” which means that persons who take them can’t sit still and feel like they are jumping out of their skin. They behave in an agitated manner which they cannot control and experience unbearable rage, delusions, and disassociation."

Supposedly he was seeing shrinks. That would mean good chance he was tripping on psychotropics. In any case they failed to spot he was dangerous which is typical incompetency for psychiatrists.


IMO nothing new and I really hope this time they don't pull the "oh we cant disclose his treatment under HIPPA" crap.

The sources I've seen state that he was prescribed but refused to take meds.

I don't believe the problem lies with the psychiatrists since the police were sent multiple times to his apartment.

Sadly if the police are generally perceived as at-fault, there's going to be a massive hammering down on how they react to certain kinds of calls. Like school's at Columbine. Wherever the public's ire goes, gun control, psychiatric treatments, police involvement... the outcry seems to just result in a lot more wrongs than rights.

What if Elliot Rodger simply went mad from really bad luck with women ?

Every day when you are single and looking you have a chance of finding someone but not finding someone yesterday or the weeks before does not increase your chances meeting someone today.


"The gambler's fallacy "

The gambler's fallacy can be illustrated by considering the repeated toss of a fair coin. With a fair coin, the outcomes in different tosses are statistically independent and the probability of getting heads on a single toss is exactly 1⁄2 (one in two). It follows that the probability of getting two heads in two tosses is 1⁄4 (one in four) and the probability of getting three heads in three tosses is 1⁄8 (one in eight). In general, if we let Ai be the event that toss i of a fair coin comes up heads, then we have,

\Pr\left(\bigcap_{i=1}^n A_i\right)=\prod_{i=1}^n \Pr(A_i)={1\over2^n}.

Now suppose that we have just tossed four heads in a row, so that if the next coin toss were also to come up heads, it would complete a run of five successive heads. Since the probability of a run of five successive heads is only 1⁄32 (one in thirty-two), a person subject to the gambler's fallacy might believe that this next flip was less likely to be heads than to be tails. However, this is not correct, and is a manifestation of the gambler's fallacy; the event of 5 heads in a row and the event of "first 4 heads, then a tails" are equally likely, each having probability 1⁄32. Given that the first four rolls turn up heads, the probability that the next toss is a head is in fact,

\Pr\left(A_5|A_1 \cap A_2 \cap A_3 \cap A_4 \right)=\Pr\left(A_5\right)=\frac{1}{2}.

While a run of five heads is only 1⁄32 = 0.03125, it is only that before the coin is first tossed. After the first four tosses the results are no longer unknown, so their probabilities are 1. Reasoning that it is more likely that the next toss will be a tail than a head due to the past tosses, that a run of luck in the past somehow influences the odds in the future, is the fallacy.

He kept throwing tails and never got head.

Elliot Rodger now joins a long and ever-expanding list of other killers who were either taking psychiatric drugs or withdrawing from them at the time they committed mass murder.

While the mainstream media predictably blames guns for all mass shootings, it rarely looks at the chemical drugging of the person who pulled the trigger on those guns...

We only need to ask one simple question to determine “what could have set the teenage gunman off.” That question is: What psychiatric drug was he taking or withdrawing from? Sometimes simple questions are the hardest to ask. That question would be hard for the media to ask, because after reporting the event, taking station breaks for advertisements for antidepressants and sedatives might give big media editors and producers indigestion, since their very existence depends on Pharma company sponsorship.

Not surprised. Again its the same song just sung by a new voice. :( The vast majority of people will not even bat a thought as to what those drugs might do. Its sad mainstream media so easily tells people what to believe. Guns aren't the issue, more psychiatry failed another person, or in the least failed to notice something was wrong.
