Two black shooters kill nine people in a park

Nine people, including a 1-year-old girl, were injured after two suspects used a shotgun to open fire during a block party on a West Philadelphia street in the US on Saturday night.

The gunfire rang out around 10 p.m. along the 4100 block of Ogden Street.

Witnesses told police that two unknown males opened fire on the block with a shotgun. The suspects, according to witnesses, then got into a car and fired more shots, possibly with a handgun.

“It looks like they just randomly fired down the street and hit anyone in their way,” said Philadelphia Police Lt. John Walker.

Investigators said a total of nine people were struck with birdshot from the shotgun.

“It was just a terrible situation,” said Walker.

A bullet grazed a one-year-old girl on the side of her neck, said police. Gunfire also grazed an 11-year-old female in the left knee and struck her right shoulder and hit a 12-year-old boy in the chest. All three children were transported to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia where they are listed in stable condition.

The rest of the victims range in age from 22 to 48. All the adult victims are also listed in stable condition.

The first suspect is described as a black male in his 20’s with a light complexion, neck beard and tattoos on one arm. He was wearing a yellow t-shirt and blue jeans.

The second suspect is described as a black male with a dark complexion wearing dark blue jeans and a black shirt.

Charleston shooter was on drug linked to violent episodes

Charleston shooter Dylann Storm Roof was reportedly taking a drug that has been linked with sudden outbursts of violence, fitting the pattern of innumerable other mass shooters who were on or had recently come off pharmaceutical drugs linked to aggression.

According to a CBS News report, earlier this year when cops searched Roof after he was acting suspiciously inside a Bath and Body Works store, they found “orange strips” that Roof told officers was suboxone, a narcotic that is used to treat opiate addiction.

Suboxone is a habit-forming drug that has been connected with sudden outbursts of aggression.

A user on the MD Junction website relates how her husband “became violent, smashing things and threatening me,” after just a few days of coming off suboxone.

Another poster on the Drugs.com website tells the story of how his personality completely changed as a result of taking suboxone.

The individual relates how he became “nasty” and “violent” just weeks into taking the drug, adding that he would “snap” and be mean to people for no reason.

Another poster reveals how his son-in-law “completely changed on suboxone,” and that the drug sent him into “self-destruct mode.”

A user named ‘Jhalloway’ also tells the story of how her husband’s addiction to suboxone was “ruining our life.”

A poster on a separate forum writes about how he became “horribly aggressive” towards his partner after taking 8mg of suboxone.

A website devoted to horror stories about the drug called SubSux.com also features a post by a woman whose husband obtained a gun and began violently beating his 15-year-old son after taking suboxone.

According to a Courier-Journal report, suboxone “is increasingly being abused, sold on the streets and inappropriately prescribed” by doctors. For some users, it is even more addictive than the drugs it’s supposed to help them quit.

As we previously highlighted, virtually every major mass shooter was taking some form of SSRI or other pharmaceutical drug at the time of their attack, including Columbine killer Eric Harris, ‘Batman’ shooter James Holmes and Sandy Hook gunman Adam Lanza.

As the website SSRI Stories profusely documents, there are literally hundreds of examples of mass shootings, murders and other violent episodes that have been committed by individuals on psychiatric drugs over the past three decades.

Pharmaceutical giants who produce drugs like Zoloft, Prozac and Paxil spend around $2.4 billion dollars a year on direct-to-consumer television advertising every year. By running negative stories about prescription drugs, networks risk losing tens of millions of dollars in ad revenue, which is undoubtedly one of the primary reasons why the connection is habitually downplayed or ignored entirely.
