Here we go again. A horrific mass shooting occurs. Everyone is in shock and grief. Democrats blame guns and Republicans. Pundits urge the public, “If you see something, say something.” And everyone asks, “Why?”
As information about the perpetrator emerges, a relative confides to a newspaper that the “troubled youth” who committed the mass murder was on psychiatric medications – you know, those powerful, little understood, mind-altering drugs with fearsome side effects including “suicidal ideation” and even “homicidal ideation.”
Yet the predictable response from the press is always the same – not only a total lack of curiosity, but disdain for any who ask the question, as though connecting psychiatric meds to mass shootings is pursuing a “conspiracy theory.”
Here’s a good way to tell whether or not something is a conspiracy theory: If it’s true, it’s not a conspiracy theory.
In the case of Nikolas Cruz, the 19-year-old Florida mass-shooter, his mother’s sister, Barbara Kumbatovich, told the Miami Herald that she believed Cruz was on medication to deal with his emotional fragility.

"To deal with his emotional fragility"? What the heck does that mean?
A similar general observation was made in August of last year by Christopher Hitchens of the UK:

One thing is certain - the US public education (sic) system is turning our children into unemployable, "emotionally fragile", mentally ill youngsters who are not prepared to handle the realities of life.
In addition to anything now being said about gun control, we ought to be asking ourselves how we can get violence off the Internet and out of our children's lives. Take away their "smart" phones, get them off these meds, and fire all the teachers and school administrators who have been messing with their minds.
