What do you mean? I'm attacking the premise of the OP.

Can you honestly say that it is not solely based on speculation?

What data? Those studies show what can happen, they don't prove that Lanza was on meds, or that the meds actually caused it if he was.

There is no smoking gun at this point, and we don't know if this is the real story.

Do you feel that the op needs your help? Because I'm pointing out the obvious?

That makes a lot of sense. I bet she threatened him like that all the time, not just before the shooting. I bet she always belittled and demeaned him to the bursting point.
The straw.
You don't know that. I get so tired of hearing people bashing parents when they don't know any of the facts.
"From what I've been told, Adam was aware of her petitioning the court for conservatorship and (her) plans to have him committed," said Joshua Flashman, 25, who grew up not far from where the shooting took place. "Adam was apparently very upset about this. He thought she just wanted to send him away. From what I understand, he was really, really angry. I think this could have been it, what set him off.
---
Nancy Lanza reportedly volunteered with kindergartners at the school for several years. Flashman said that Adam "believed she cared more for the children than she did for him." On the day of the massacre, Nancy was Adam's first victim. Flashman told Fox News that Nancy was also good friends with the school's principal and psychologist, both of whom were killed during the incident."

I mention here simply to help paint a broader picture of the person.
It's got nothing to do with the information here at all, rather who posted it.
The premise is in the initial post. NO WHERE does he talk about a specific person. Reread it.
Like many of you, I am on the verge of total exhaustion regarding the subject of spree killers. Three such events, in such a short time is more than a mind or a heart can really keep up with. People are, quite understandably, emotional over the stress. Having said that? Now it seems people are trying to find a scapegoat to sacrifice - or are personalizing these events into some belief that this is all a false flag to take away the Second Amendment. Meanwhile we seem to be ignoring the HUGE elephant in the room with us. There is a common denominator to be found.
The only obvious thing you did, was attack the OP. Im stating what I saw. You attacking him, and not the data.

I mention here simply to help paint a broader picture of the person.
While Newtown buried two more young victims Tuesday in the shooting massacre, authorities said they found no evidence the gunman who killed 27 people was being medicated for mental illness. Investigators searching the Connecticut home gunman Adam Lanza shared with his mother, Nancy Lanza, seized cellphones, computers and computer games, but found nothing at the residence to indicate he was taking medication, Hearst Connecticut Newspapers reported.

When the police finally do release their findings publicly, the medication question may or may not be answered. Medical records are protected - so there might not be an answer.

There is ample proof, provided in both the OP and subsequent posts that SSRI's have been related to violent and hostile behavior - particularly in teenagers and more particularly in male teenagers.
As stated in the OP - in Japan these medications must, by law, carry warnings of violent behavior risks.

Did my OP contain the name "Adam Lanza"?
Can you source anything that disputes anything in my OP?
And what exactly does my moderator status have to do with discussion?
