| Texas School Shooting Suspect ‘Weirdly Nonemotional' After Confessing to Massacre |
| 2018-05-20 |
| [Breitbart] The 17-year-old suspect in the killing of ten people at Santa Fe high school in Texas has confessed, authorities say, but his motivation for the attack remains unclear. Santa Fe High School junior Dimitrious Pagourtzis hid a shotgun and a pistol under his trenchcoat before opening fire in a first-period art class on Friday, according to an affidavit filed by police. The FBI announced Saturday that it had taken the lead in the joint investigation, at the request of local authorities. "He gave a statement admitting to shooting multiple people inside the Santa Fe High School with the intent on killing people," the police affidavit said. "Dimitrios advised he did not shoot students he did like so he could have his story told." The attack ended when he walked out of a classroom and surrendered to police.

| #10 Until Columbine nobody had even thought of this. The widespread publicity and notoriety thoroughly opened that Pandora's Box, and started a trend that can't be easily reversed. Gun control won't help much, no matter how strict - the concept is killing, not shooting, and there are many other obvious methods available. I really believe we need a much stronger investigation of underlying psychological triggers - video game desensitization, psychiatric medications, abusive childhood homes, even vaccines, environmental hormones and antibiotics. |

| #4 Suicide contagion, I suspect. The publicized report of a suicide, whether within a community, by a celebrity, or even fictional, can trigger others in the community to coomit the same type of suicide. Also called copycat suicide, a suicide cluster, or the Werther effect. And while usual localized in time and/or space — a school or the month or so following Marilyn Monroe’s death — some echo down through time. Columbine is one of those. The community appears to be deeply unhappy boys who want to go out in a blaze of glory. |

| #2 This sounds like meds. ‘Weirdly Nonemotional' is a side effect of certain anti-depressants. You're not depressed because you have zero emotion. They should be called anti-emotionals, they work if all your emotions are negative. But have side effects... |

| #1 Some sort of high-level psychiatric panel should be immediately convened in an attempt to come up with answers and potential solutions to this dreadful phenomenon. Too many commonalities, there must be an underlying cause or causes. Young men and youth, socialization, politics, muzic, family, meds, gaming, religion, diet, guns, bullying, music, rejection......WTF is it ? |
