Media trying to blame meditation for Navy yard shooting!

[Silver Rocket Bitches!]

One detail among the many reports emerging about Aaron Alexis, the 34-year-old man suspected of killing 12 people in a shooting at the Washington Navy Yard on Monday, stood out: he was a regular meditator.
How does someone who engages in meditation, which is supposed to focus the mind, and is often associated with efforts to diffuse violence, rather than instigate it, perform the acts that Alexis is accused of executing? Alexis had a record of violent crime and, his father told (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323342404579079943924379108.html) the Wall Street Journal that his son had anger issues related to post-traumatic stress (http://topics.time.com/stress/) from participating in rescue efforts during the 9/11 attacks. A former boss, who met Alexis at a Buddhist temple in the Fort Worth, Tex. area, said Alexis was also a heavy drinker who came to chanting and meditation sessions regularly.
At worst, most people see meditation as flaky, boring, self-involved or harmless. But as research starts to document how it can help to fight stress, high blood pressure, addictions and many other mental and physical disorders, it’s also becoming clear that meditating isn’t always so benign — particularly if it’s used against a background of existing mental illness.

But no mention of the SSRIs that they had him on! Can't connect a psychotic episode to Prozac even though that's been a common theme during each of these shootings.

Navy Yard Shooting: Was Aaron Alexis On Psychiatric Drugs?

Navy Yard shooting suspect Aaron Alexis may have been taking psychiatric drugs prescribed by military doctors.

As we previously reported, Alexis — the civilian contractor and former Navy reservist who shot dead 13 people in Washington before he was killed by police — was apparently suffering from serious mental health issues and was undergoing treatment since August at the Veterans Administration for his issues.

According to self-named “health ranger” Mike Adams, the VA’s sole treatment for mental problems comes in the form of drugs. Adams also maintains that the common denominator for most of the mass shooters is that they were on these mind-altering, doctor-prescribed medications. Media reports have also suggested that Alexis was hooked on violent video games such as Call of Duty.

Alexis also was involved in at least one previous gun incident in which he allegedly fired as hot through the floor of a neighbor’s apartment in Fort Worth, Texas. He was arrested but ultimately never prosecuted.

The Dark Knight shooter in Aurora, Colorado, may also have been taking prescription antidepressants.

Writing on the Natural News website, Adams claimed, “Across the medical industry, ‘treatment’ is the code word for psychiatric drugging… Those prescription medications create feelings of detachment in people, making them feel like they ‘playing out a video game’ rather than acting out in the real world… This combination is repeated over and over again in violent mass killings: psychiatric drugs + video games = mass death.”

Adams added that with its pro-gun control agenda, the media is ignoring “the far more dangerous chemical holocaust taking place in our nation due to the widespread deployment of psychiatric drugs” and that “a mind-altering medication in the hands of a violent video game addict with extreme anger issues is a catastrophe waiting to happen.”

According to ABC News, “The phrase ‘psychotropic drugs’ is a technical term for psychiatric medicines that alter chemical levels in the brain which impact mood and behavior.”

You just can't make this shit up..


In the aftermath of the Washington Navy Yard shootings (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/local/navy-yard-shooting/scene-at-building-197/), gunman Aaron Alexis’s interest in Buddhism (http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/aaron-alexis-34-is-dead-gunman-in-navy-yard-shooting-authorities-say/2013/09/16/dcf431ce-1f07-11e3-8459-657e0c72fec8_story.html) seemed at odds with conventional Western stereotypes of serene, nonviolent meditators.
Buddhism scholars and bloggers were quick to note that Alexis’ spiritual profile — he was involved with a temple in Fort Worth, although his attendance there dropped off after about a year — didn’t fit with the image of someone unloading a gun and killing 12 innocents (http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/2013/09/17/77ed4446-1fc0-11e3-94a2-6c66b668ea55_story.html) in a crowded military office building.

Some saw the tragedy as an opportunity to publicly air some difficult topics that Buddhists most often discuss only among themselves. Is the peaceful Buddhist an illusion? Do Buddhists and Buddhist temples deal directly enough with the topic of mental illness? And, in fact, might Buddhism hold a special attraction for people who are mentally ill?

The 3rd possible shooter was let go. Wasn't a suspect. I think that was the white guy.

I have not heard what became of shooter #2.

Poof, the whole of the MSM presentation is as if they were never a thought, Who's meditating?

So 1 Buddhist monk took out 2 security guards and used their weapons that day?

Mind altering drugs. YET AGAIN.
