Umpqua Community College shooter, Chris Harper-Mercer

Postby Copy_Cat » Fri Oct 02, 2015 1:47 pm

Lists of South Bay graduates from 2009 published in the Daily Breeze showed Harper Mercer graduated from the Switzer Learning Center in Torrance with four other students. Switzer teaches students with learning disabilities and emotional issues.

A former behavioral aide at Switzer, who did not want her name used, said the majority of the students at the school are from foster, low-income and single-parent homes. Some of these students were expelled from other schools or had been in trouble with the law.

Every time I see one of these shootings reported on the news it doesn't take many mouse clicks to discover the shooter was exposed to the mental health system and that usually means psychiatric drugs.

Good chance psychotropics were involved. Time will tell. Close to half the people Ive known taking psychotropics had an SSRI story to tell.


Some of those schools for behavioral problem kids tend to be brutal, so that could have played a role too.


Very tragic and without a doubt another failure of the system. :(

Here is a line from the article if found interesting, "" He was hard to discipline. If you told him 'no,' he would scream like you had just hit him."

I just read the whole thing, this guy was obliviously psychiatrized at an early age. That had to really suck going to a "behavioral health psychiatric drugging school" if you were not a fan of authority to begin with.

Did they give him that fraudulent diagnosis "Child Bipolar" or one of its variants and the wicked psychotropic drug cocktails that go with it ? I know they use a negative reaction to being told 'no' to get the child bipolar labeling and drugging process started.

Spot on with that comment. That "school" must have been a nightmare.

Some comments I found online:

Unlikely, otherwise why wound those that aren't?

I expect we'll eventually get to learn that he has been on medication for ADHD or similar 'learning disability' since a small boy, which will be the better place to point the finger. Medicating boys for being boys with psychotropic drugs is likely to produce adverse effects after all.

Bj Lincoln Cylux • a day ago

I agree that our young boys are far too often medicated for just being a kid. Too many spend their youth in a fog so when they are old enough to stop taking the drugs they don't know how to control themselves. Anger and rage can be a drawback to years of unnecessary medications.

So was he on mind control drugs, excuse me, drugs to treat his illness like SSRI type drugs?
