sbs.com.au/news/new-nra-president-blames-ritalin-for-school-shootings >Oliver North, a retired Marine lieutenant colonel, has told Fox News Sunday that perpetrators of school violence "have been drugged in many cases" and "many of these young boys have been on Ritalin since they were in kindergarten". >North also blamed a "culture where violence is commonplace" pointing to TV and movies.
>Investigators have given no indication that they believe the 17-year-old suspect, Dimitrios Pagourtzis, used Ritalin, which treats attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or other drugs. >Pagourtzis' lawyer, Nicholas Poehl, says he's not aware that his client was on any specific medication.
imagine actually believing this laughable damage control
Camden Green
Fucking gun faggots tryna make the fda take away my ritalin
Mason Gutierrez
It’s not damage control if you know you can get away with saying whatever the hell you want without consequence.
Hell, he could’ve said that xeno brainwaves cause mass shootings. Or maybe he’d really jump the gun and say all those kids that keep getting shot deserve it for being filthy darkies. It’s not like anything would change either way.
John Davis
it's everything BUT guns is what the NRA is trying to say guys. if you don't own a gun and aren't a card carrying NRA member, it's your fault too.
Christopher Phillips
americans are much more willing to drug their children then non-americans he might be right
Having to go to such great and absurd lengths to blame something like Ritalin for shootings should be a basic sign that these retards are completely wrong about everything.
Christian Smith
t. communist jews
Jason Cruz
wtf I love guns now
Camden Clark
5 step plan to stop school shootings 1. strict gun licensing to keep guns out of the hands of mentally unstable and violent people 2. raise age to 21 because being able to shoot before you can drink is dumb, and people are done highschool by then 3. don't allow media to talk about the shooter themselves, it glorifies them 4. shred the 2A because giving the people the idea that firearms are some kind of basic human right is fucking stupid 5. social services for young men because only women are getting help to deal with their issues

better >2. raise age to 21 because being able to shoot before you can drink is dumb, and people are done highschool by then >4. shred the 2A because giving the people the idea that firearms are some kind of basic human right is fucking stupid Fuck off Kike, if anything the Burgers should get rid of the NFA and FOPA
Why does anyone need to do damage control, exactly? The Santa Fe shooter did not use one of those scary-looking guns the left goes nuts over, he used a standard shotgun and handgun, which not even the leftist wing Democratic Party is willing to rail again. That is why this story is fading so fast compared to Parkland, it doesn't fit their preferred gun control narrative.
But a culture where violence is commonplace is part of the problem. The US has been in open conflict for decades now without end and everything is broadcasted on TV as well as all other crimes people commit. I dont think kids grow up valuing human life anymore if people ever did in the first place.
Oliver Roberts
You're why Canada is such a grim place
Mason White
That's when a woman undergoes a procedure to kill her unborn child
Fading? Now you're the delusional one. You have a shooting every other day and most aren't even reported on because americans hate hearing how guns are bad because it doesn't fit their narrative.
Daniel Long
How many spree killings where there when America was a Christian nation? The community of church goes a long way to help these sorts of people get by
Anthony Miller
only underage care because they're scare their high school will get shot up I don't care I'm out of school *dab*
Jack Cox
>nothing would have changed so we should leave it the way it is
> “We need God back in our schools,” > “I think the church is a focal point,” he said, “and I think we’ve gotten the cart before the horse, and we want the other things, but we don’t want God.” > His thoughts about changing gun laws reflect familiar attitudes in Texas. > “Guns helped shape America,” he said. “Guns have insured our freedom. It’s the heart in a man that steers him to do wrong.”
Alexander Mitchell
well, back in the day people could take out their frustrations on black people legitimately,
Michael Perez
Lynchings happened to groups of people too
Nolan Morgan
>Fading? Now you're the delusional one.
No, it absolutely is. The Parkland shooting lingered around for months, and produced a D.C. rally and whatnot. This story is already out of the news, and there aren't any "Santa Fe school shooting survivors" doing the Hogg routine last I checked.
Lucas Ward
Well the only people who might be opposed to reckless and widespread gun usage are either underaged or in the mourge. Or both. If you already finished school it's not your problem anymore.
You had a SECOND SHOOTING that VERY SAME DAY at a completely different school. Did you even know about that?
Xavier Carter
the news are hyper-focused on that one chick saying she wasnt surprised by the shooting because everyone else is just offering thoughts and prayers since it is a religious community
basically none of the students or community are reacting to it in any way and theres nothing to report on
Lol what a retarded boomer. I dont have social media because Im a loner.
Kevin Turner
>You should be happy I unironically get sad when a child dies, I'm not a literal YEAH KILL EM freak like most of anons here. It's probably because I have 2 children.
Carter Wood
the only difference is that more than one person is usually involved in a lynching, and that arguably makes it WORSE also you were the first one to introduce spree killing as the focus, when everyone else is discussing mass murder in general
Lynchers pick and murder random black people off the streets for no reason, how is that any different
Jaxson Foster
This the death of XD memers end now!
Hudson Harris
Republicuck Texans aren't even people. A thousand of them could die tomorrow and the world will only get better
Adrian Williams
Because this is a racial issue involving a community assaulting another community Not comparable to spree killings which have entirely different meathods and motives
Joseph Wright
Wait, so he is in favour of mass privacy invasion of American children?
Hudson Anderson
in America everyone that's not you or your community is a potential criminal and is treated as such thats why we carry guns everywhere
Elijah Bailey
>Americans caring about children
Lucas Torres
Children do not have a right to privacy in any country
Bentley Wilson
The VC introduced spree killings as a topic. And arguably it shows that psychology has a bigger impact on how bad the killings are than the weapon used
Elijah Perez
Isn't the Republican party obsessed with the supposed privacy invasion of Americans by the Russians, with the help of the Democrats, during the previous election?
Nathan Jackson
Unironically though.
Ayden Nguyen
Isn't this the same guy convicted of illegally selling weapons to Iran to illegally fund "rebels" (rapists and war criminals) in Latin America? Who at the NRA thought this guy would be a good pick for their president? Why is anyone taking anything he says seriously today?
yes meanwhile he's strongly against the same thing when it comes to Trump or other republicans
David Garcia
It seems the only right a large proportion of Americans actually try to defend is the Second Amendment. I'm willing to bet Hannity didn't rail on the government day after day after day after day when it was revealed a few years ago that the NSA was illegally collecting data (phone calls, emails, texts, etc.) on virtually every single American citizen, which the NSA director literally lied about to Congress under oath. I'm willing to bet he didn't publicly criticize the provisions in the Patriot Act which also violated the Fourth Amendment.
It would also have to involve some sort of system to identify people online, since there is no way at current to properly verify the identity of the person online. It would mean creating some massive registry system with logins as well as forcing said social media companies to enforce such policies and in effect have their business dictated to them by the state. From an outside perspective, it sounds exactly like the sort of thing conservative/right wing/religious like to use in their oft erected "commie" strawman.

>Isn't this the same guy convicted of illegally selling weapons to Iran to illegally fund "rebels" (rapists and war criminals) in Latin America? it is >Who at the NRA thought this guy would be a good pick for their president? The NRA organization is absolutely tone deaf and doesn't have a reliable grasp on reality >Why is anyone taking anything he says seriously today? sensationalism and this comes days after a school shooting
Zachary Reed
>Dimitrios Pagourtzis What is that, Slavic? Greek? Mexican?
it would have stopped him if his dad didn't have fucking guns to begin with. of course now it is too late. much more guns them people. if you want to kill you can get a gun easily.
John Kelly
The most difficult question is what are going to do with millions of guns in circulation.
William Reyes
Dad is Greek immigrant, moved to Texas and married a Mexican woman
Kevin Jackson
Seriously, I'm genuinely embarrassed by shit like this.
Joseph Peterson
From the greentext he didn't say ritalin was linked to school shootings nor that the kid was on ritalin, only that some school shooters were on drugs.
Also why the fugg is some australian paper reporting on stupid shit the american NRA president says?
Hudson Hall
>complaining about Jow Forums in a political thread you should start complaining about how water is wet as well.
