Misguided Report Blaming The Victim

The Post shows its ignorance quoting "a man who answered the phone," giving a psychiatric diagnosis. (JAMIE SCHRAM, LARRY CELONA and DAN MACLEOD, "Mad push a 9/11 ‘revenge,’" New York Post, December 30, 2012) It shows how nonsensical psychiatry is. The Post repeats the propaganda of drug companies that "going off meds" causes violence. If stopping taking them causes violence why start? When will psychiatrists be indicted for causing murder and mayhem? The drug-company-controlled FDA requires a black box warning on drugs. Why are criminal health care professionals still forcing civilians to take them? This is one more misguided report blaming the victim. Blame the drug companies for marketing unsafe products and the psychiatrists who prescribe them.

[From article]
“Erika is a bipolar person, and that is why this happened — not
because she was a terrorist,” he said. “She’s been in Elmhurst
Hospital 10 to 15 times.”
Her building’s doorman said she goes out of control when she goes off her meds.
“She would go off the wall sometimes in the house,” said Angel Luis
Santiago. “[Her parents] called the cops on her to take her out of the
house. When she don’t take her medication, she goes really wacky.”
[. . .]
“When they go into the hospital, they just give her two pills and
throw her back out on the street.”
