Stop Ritalin sales

The 80s called and wants their excuses back.

Retired Lt. Col. Oliver North told "Fox News Sunday" that perpetrators of school violence "have been drugged in many cases" and "many of these young boys have been on Ritalin since they were in kindergarten." He also blamed a "culture where violence is commonplace," pointing to TV and movies.

North's comments followed the attack Friday at Santa Fe High School outside Houston that left eight students and two teachers dead. Investigators have given no indication that they believe the 17-year-old suspect, Dimitrios Pagourtzis, used Ritalin, which treats attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or other drugs.

    Pretty sure Ollie was actually doing press tours selling Call of Duty and showed up in the game at one point.

    Is Ritalin still a thing?

    I thought it was all about Adderall and depression medication

    Same, same.


    Not surprising the Obamacare pigeon is out pimping a 'solution' that keeps big pharma propped and sacred.

    As a guy who partied in college, I know first hand that coming down off an all night high of ADD drugs can make you feel very aggressive.

    I never had the desire to be violent, but I do recall doing things like getting banned from Jimmy John's for calling the manager a faggot for raising prices. Dude could have still at least let me buy a sandwich, I was done ranting...but I guess his ego was hurt.

    I remember leaving the shop all pissed, and planning my revenge. My plan was to make a bunch of Jimmy John's accounts, and order a bunch of fake deliveries. Enough to put them out of business. But then the amphetamine hangover wore off, and suddenly those plans didn't seem so important to me.

    Pretty much every juvenile school shooter has been on it or another similar drug. Side effects are known but they keep stuffing them down every fidgety kids throat. Boys have excess energy that effects their attention span. Live with like we did forever and maybe so many won't snap.
