He was on antidepressants. I wouldn't be surprised if the antidepressants made him do it. But you'll never hear this angle from the right-wing media.

Anyone remember about 10 years ago when there was some kid in Florida who was about 10 years old who went completely batty and attacked the police after he was given antidepressants?

Found the link (so the thought police can't accuse me of making it up):

Obviously this is one reason why we should go back to the old system of the state forcing the mentally deranged into state run mental institutions.

Yes, we should force Bush into a mental institution.

You don't give someone Prozac just for the heck of it.

Actually they do give people antidepressants just for the heck of it. Or more accurately, just for the profit and control of it.

And you don't for one moment want to entertain the idea that perhaps what led to the prescription of Prozac was also what led to the observed behavior?

Also, if someone is prescribed an antidepressant for a real reason, the observed behavior must have been depression. The behavior exhibited here was not depression, but psychoticness.

That's Ritalin.  Prozac is not prescribed for ADD.  Even I'm on the fence regarding the legitimacy of ADD of an actual thing that has isolatable physical causes.

ADD is a total scam.
