Not sure if there's a QBN thread for Stabbing of the Day, so posting this horrific story in this here thread:
4 dead, 2 wounded in Southern California stabbings
- Jo Rogan talked about all those violent crimes are almost all commited by people on prescription drugs. And US is crazy over prescription drugs... and gunz..Bennn
- And once again, a man. Never women. Men have some serious violent issues.Bennn
- 2 women just today in Pittsburgh stabbed, one died from her injuries.
Apparently random and by a man, of course.Ramanisky2 - And the victims are usually men, as well. Last year there 30,000 murders in Mexico. Less than 400 of those were womenGnash
- @Bennn yes, i had read stats somewhere suggesting most all mass shootings in the past 20 years were perpetrated by people on prescription drugsKrassy
- Rogan talked about how drugs puts you in some kind of disconnected from reality mode, everything seems like a simulationBennn
- *some drugsBennn
- link?Krassy
- i think it was in this segment: https://www.youtube.…Bennn
- from 2:30 markBennn
- Its not that simple and you know it.monospaced
- of course, i know, he knows. we all know. Its a very complicated topic for sureBennn
- So Joe's the expert now?pango
- he's not, but talks to a lot of experts in so many field. he says it in the video.Bennn
- To even imply there's a single reason for any of this is infuriating, sorry. There may be a connection with pharma, but I don't buy it as even a primary reason.monospaced
- If there's a connection, it's weaker than video games. The vast majority of people on these drugs aren't killing people, and there's no statistical correlation.monospaced
- i think its a connection of many factors that can lead someone to commit a mass murder.Bennn
- like, personal problems + some mental problems (depression, anxiety, etc) + presc. drugs + internet brain washing. its just an example.Bennn
- yes, it's multi-faceted ... and when people start to blame just one almost-insignificant area (video games, or drugs) as if it's a solution, it's infuriatingmonospaced
- @mono It's definitely multi-faceted, no doubt about that; however there IS statistical correlation as it related to psychotropic drugs:Krassy
- Every mass shooting between 1993-2013 shared one thing in common - psychotropic drugs.Krassy
- having said that, still, correlation does not necessarily equal causationKrassy
- We could probably name hundreds, if not THOUSANDS or millions of things that were common among them. I would bet none of them were the causation.monospaced
- Now, there are many millions of people on those same drugs. But none of them are racist, white supremacist domestic radicalized christian terrorists. So, NO.monospaced
- Oh, another thing that was common among them: easy as fuck access to killing machines. And a government that won't do jack shit about it. Correlation undeniablemonospaced
- But sure, if you want to blame pharma and turn a blind eye, go ahead. It's about as lazy and irresponsible as anything, but it works for repbulican asshats.monospaced
- I think the Internet play a HUGE role in these, particularly in the last years. Some people brain wash themseves and become obsessed by a topic.Bennn
- Internet creates and feeds the rage in some individuals.Bennn
- In and of itself it does no such thing, but like anything, it's got its dark corners of hate. Doesn't help that the current president encourages it.monospaced
- #bebestmonospaced
- Mono, making something illegal doesn't get rid of it. Where there's a will, there's a way. We need to worry about WHY crimes are perpetrated and not HOW.Krassy
- Violence is a complex issue It involves an array of factors - (lack of) family values & sense of belonging, bullying, mental health, hatred, intolerance, etcKrassy
- If you think that’s what I’m saying then you’re not listening.monospaced
- And if your excuse is that laws don’t do anything, then that is a bigger and more pathetic cop out than anything imaginable. I also NEVER mentioned laws.monospaced
- you implying laws (or lack of) : "easy as fuck access to killing machines. And a government that won't do jack shit about it"Krassy
