We should note that this appears to be a single mom situation, which no doubt made the whole situation a lot worse.

However: I have no trouble believing that something like this could happen in a healthy home with a father.

“ADHD medication” is literally just speed.

The Adderall package lists the only ingredient as “amphetamine.”

So, these people are giving pretty hardcore narcotics to little kids, and then telling us this is very normal and helps them to learn.

It’s amazing that this was ever allowed in the first place, but they’ve been doing it since Ritalin came out in the 1990s. Who even knows how many deaths its caused.

New York Post:

The heartbroken mom of the Oklahoma girl who fatally stabbed her younger brother in a “demonic” rage said the child had recently become “angry for no reason” while taking ADHD medication — but by the time she pulled her daughter off it, it was too late and she experienced a “manic episode.”

April Lyda revealed during an interview on NewsNation on Thursday night what she believes led her daughter to attack her 9-year-old brother, Zander, in the chest on Jan. 5 at their home in Tulsa.

Zander

“From what we found it looks like it was a medication issue, not anything else. Like a manic episode of some kind,” a tearful Lyda told host Chris Cuomo.

She said her daughter became irritable when she was placed back on medication for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder or ADHD.

Asked why she had been taken off the meds, Lyda explained that the girl had cut her arms “within a month of being back on it.”

“So I immediately took her off. After speaking to the school, and her doctor, and herself – we had a long conversation — she said that she felt like she was really irritated, irritable, angry for no reason on the medication.

“So of course I took her off of it. Unfortunately, it was too late. The damage was done. Stuff like this kind of thing can happen months or even years after being off of the medication like this,” the grieving mom said.

She said her daughter had been home-schooled for some time but when she went back to school her doctor recommended putting her back on the medication because her grades dropped.

“And so I put her back on it. And then a few weeks later, a month later, she cut her arms. So that’s when I was told to take her back off of it, which I did immediately,” Lyda said.

“So she was on it for five years straight and we only took her off of it because she wanted to see if she could go without it and do her schoolwork without it,” she explained.

Lyda said her daughter cut herself right before she attacked her brother.

Why is a 12-year-old girl even in school at all?

She should be getting prepared for marriage and family. At best, she should be in school learning to cook and how to change the bag on a vacuum cleaner, not doing algebra equations that her brain can’t compute unless she’s high on speed.

Educating women is just all around retarded. I mean, we can argue about teaching them to read, but they definitely don’t need to be in school when they’re 12 doing math problems. That does not even make any sense.

Also, let’s just assume you believed in all this bullshit: why not just give kids caffeine pills?

Why go straight to hardcore narcotics, and risk causing amphetamine psychosis?

“Major roads and highways.”

Whenever I hear the words “major roads” and “highways,” I immediately imagine stressed out people with angry faces fueling a cacophony of hate while inhaling mystery fumes.

Turns out that living near such scenery can be bad for people’s health.

Study Finds:

Numerous studies have found an association between living close to nature and improved mental health. Now, on the opposite end of the spectrum, a recent set of research conducted at the University of British Columbia finds that living near major roads or highways can raise one’s risk of developing various neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s, dementia in general, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis.

Data on over 678,000 adults living in the metropolitan Vancouver area was assessed for the study, and researchers concluded that living less than 164 feet from a major road or living less than 492 feet from a highway is linked to a noticeably higher risk of developing the aforementioned conditions. While the study’s authors can’t say with 100% certainty, air pollution caused by passing cars is almost certainly the cause of these findings.

Meanwhile, the study also found additional evidence that living near some greenery, such as a park, can actively protect against neurological problems.

She tried to warn you.

She literally stepped up to warn you.

But you didn’t listen.

Cars are tools of global warming, and it is only logical that they’d first warm the places in which they’re the most used — like roads and highways. This location-specific warming is then responsible for warming the brains of the people living in the affected locations, which results in neurological diseases.

It is basic, settled climate science.

“For the first time, we have confirmed a link between air pollution and traffic proximity with a higher risk of dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and MS at the population level,” says Weiran Yuchi, the study’s lead author and a PhD candidate in the UBC school of population and public health, in a release. “The good news is that green spaces appear to have some protective effects in reducing the risk of developing one or more of these disorders. More research is needed, but our findings do suggest that urban planning efforts to increase accessibility to green spaces and to reduce motor vehicle traffic would be beneficial for neurological health.”

…

“For people who are exposed to a higher level of green space, they are more likely to be physically active and may also have more social interactions,” comments Michael Brauer, the study’s senior author and professor in the UBC school of population and public health. “There may even be benefits from just the visual aspects of vegetation.”

Just seeing green could improve people’s mood and ability to focus, and it could even reduce unhealthful cravings.

The fact that cities still have parks and at least some trees sprinkled on their mortuary grey suggests that proximity to green spaces is also necessary for humans on a psychological level.

Life and Death

The popularity of houseplants and other types of green decorations also supports this claim.

Everyone likes The Shire.

So why are we doing this to ourselves?
