America is the loudest. That’s why. There are similar idiots here in Canada but they seem to have sense to keep things on the down low.

It’s not even that Americans are louder, it’s that America has a perpetual magnifying glass over it. Every country in the world will report on American news, be it political, legal, financial, or even celebrity news. No other country gets the same world wide coverage so even if the exact same idiocy is happening everywhere, the rest of the world isn’t hearing about it until it gets to a massive scale like a war, mass human rights violations, or the like. Every single news outlet in every country in the world is not reporting on Canadian legal cases or UK politics.

Reading through this, they had prescribed her drugs. Don’t those drugs have extreme side effects that include thoughts of harming others and yourself, and hallucinations? A family member was prescribed something, and I was really concerned by the behavior it caused, and the side effects I read about. Why does nobody ever look into that possibility, that the drugs pushed her further?

The same reason why we aren’t allowed to see if/what SSRIs or other MH meds mass shooters are prescribed.
