Be it induced psychotic breakdown caused by street drugs, pharmaceutical drugs, peer pressure, school pressure, job pressure, life pressure, chemical or frequency mind control … which may be contributing to these violent episodes  branching from preexisting states of schizophrenia, delusions, hallucinations, incoherence, or just plane old prejudices and hatred having distorted perceptions of right and wrong …. mental health is a ticking time bomb … and guns have become and easy accessible fuse … .
