Re: This "off his medication" phrase really bugs me.
For some people, medication does make the difference between being homicidal or not. The tragic thing is that many who quit their meds do so because they think they're better when the reality is that the meds are what made them better and what is keeping them on an even keel. So, I don't object to the term "off his medication." Maybe it will help another person on medication continue to take their meds no matter how "cured" they feel they are.
This was tragedy for all concerned. The students killed and injured. The young man who took his life after destroying the lives of others. The families and friends of all of them.
My prayers to each and every one.
