COLUMBINE & RED LAKE COME TOGETHER AT COLUMBINE ANNIVERSARY
Donna Taylor: Mother of Mark Taylor, the first boy shot at Columbine
High
School on April 20, 1999 as Eric and Dylan, on their way into the
school,
shot at those gathered to discuss scriptures outside. Eric Harris shot
Mark
6 - 13 times with 9mil bullets. Mark survived earning himself the title
of
"The Columbine Miracle Boy."
Tammy Lussier: Daughter of Officer Daryl (Dash) Lussier of the Red Lake
Police Department and aunt to Jeff Weise who shot and killed Tammy's
father,
his own grandfather, and eight others before taking his own life with
his
grandfather's police firearm.
Our Message: Here we are together at the 10th Anniversary of the tragedy
at Columbine High School. So, why would a family member of a school
shooting victim and a family member of a school shooter come together?
We want the
world to know that antidepressants cause violence with the most popular
antidepressant on the market today listing "homicidal ideation" as a
potential side effect.
The one thing many shot at Columbine have learned to do is to forgive
Eric
Harris and Dylan Kleebold for doing what they did to them. We have just
celebrated the glorious Easter season filled with the reassurance that
through the mission of Jesus Christ we can overcome death and live
again. As we
remember Columbine we feel it is crucial to recall that as Christ hung
on the
cross He plead with His Father in Heaven for those who were in the
process
of taking His life from Him "Father forgive them for they know not what
they do." In forgiving Eric and Dylan we believe that we are forgiving
them
for the same reason Christ asked for those taking his own life to be
forgiven - they did not know what they were doing April 20, 1999 when
they took 15
lives and injured 24 more.
Although USA Today attempted to rewrite history this past week and
erroneously reported that the Columbine shooters were not on
antidepressants we
are here to remind the world that Eric Harris was on the antidepressant
Luvox. Whether Eric was sharing his meds with Dylan, which is far too
common
with kids, or was on his own prescription we will never know as his
records
were sealed. In the Red Lake school shooting Jeff Weise was taking the
antidepressant Prozac. Our statement today is that minus antidepressants
we feel
sure that the shootings at Columbine High School and Red Lake, MN High
School would never have happened and neither would the majority of the
other
school shootings and workplace violence shootings (see _www.ssristories.com_
(http://www.ssristories.com/)
for a long list).
Antidepressants push the user into a dream state leaving one to act out
nightmares. Columbine was a nightmare acted out by Eric Harris and Dylan
Kleebold, just as Red Lake was a nightmare acted out by Jeff Weise which
took
another 10 lives and injured 7 more. We do not believe they were
conscious
and coherent enough to fully understand what they were doing because of
the
adverse effects of antidepressants.
Over the past two years Donna has watched her son Mark go from a normal
boy to someone she does no longer recognizes because he was given two
short
bouts of similar drugs given to Eric Harris. Now Mark is living and
experiencing firsthand similar adverse reactions to what Eric was when
he shot
Mark. How ironic and tragic! (See Mark's powerful statement below given
before
the FDA about these drugs that have now robbed him of who he is or was.)
If we want the shootings of Columbine and Red Lake to end we MUST learn
the truth about the dangers of antidepressant medications.

Mark Taylor's testimony before the FDA 9/13/2004
I am Mark Allen Taylor and I am a victim of the SSRI antidepressant era.
I
took six to thirteen bullets in the heart area in the Columbine High
School shooting when Eric Harris on Luvox opened fire that now infamous
day.
They almost had to amputate my leg and my arm. My heart missed by only
one
millimeter. I had three surgeries. Five years later I am still
recuperating.
I went through all this to realize that SSRI antidepressants are
dangerous
for those who take them and for all those who associate with those who
take them.
I hope that my testimony today shows you that you need to take action
immediately before more innocent people like me, and you, do not get
hurt or
die horrible deaths as a result.
As Americans we should have the right to feel safe and if you were doing
your job we would be safe. Why are we worrying about terrorists in other
countries when the pharmaceutical companies have proven to be our
biggest
terrorists by releasing these drugs on an unsuspecting public?
How are we suppose to feel safe at school, at home, on the street, at
church or anywhere else if we cannot trust the FDA to do what we are
paying you
to do? Where were you when I and all of my classmates got shot at
Columbine?
You say that antidepressants are effective. So why did they not help
Eric
Harris before he shot me?
According to Eric they "helped" him to feel homicidal and suicidal after
only six weeks on Zoloft. And then he said that dropping off Luvox cold
turkey would help him "fuel the rage" he needed to shoot everyone. But
he
continued on Luvox and shot us all anyway.
So, why did these so called antidepressants not make him better? I will
tell you why. It is because they do not work.
We should consider antidepressants to be accomplices to murder.

"Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibior [SSRI] Drugs: More Risks Than
Benefits?"
Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons: Volume 14: number 1: Spring
2009, there is an article by Joel M. Kauffman, Ph.D., [Professor of
chemistry emeritus at the University of the Sciences, Philadelphia, Pa.]
In regard to the International Coalition for Drug Awareness, the study
reads on page 10: "The International Coalition for Drug Awareness in
cooperation with the Prozac Survivors Support Group has produced a
website on which
about 1,600 [now 3,000] violent incidents associated with SSRI use are
described (_www.ssristories.come/index.php_
(http://www.ssristories.come/index.php)
)."
In regard to SSRI Stories _www.SSRIstories.com_
(http://www.ssristories.com/)
documenting the link between thousands of cases of multiple
murder/suicides and antidepressants, Dr. Kaufmann made the following
statement on
page 10: "Since no clinical trial involving multiple homicides is ever
likely
to be run, no firmer evidence is likely to be found. Healy noted that
much of the evidence for suicide and murder came from the efforts of
journalists and lawyers".
