Yikes, can we leave him locked him in broadmoor for the rest of his natural please

"The current Broadmoor resident is "clearly insane" and requires "many years" of treatment there."

This seems to be very obviously the right decision. The man was, and is, very mentally ill and belongs in a secure hospital.

He decapitated two cats, believing them to be demons, then attacked Mrs Silva, believing her to be a supernatural entity - either Adolf Hitler back from the dead or a demon who had taken the form of a little old lady. That doesn't sound like the sort of thing a sane man would do.

I think it's coincidental rather than causal. There's known to be a higher incidence of psychosis amongst people of Afro Carribean race.

There is a significant correlation between school shootings in America and cannabis and/or antidepressant use. IIRC Lee Rigby killers too.

There's no proven link, what there is a proven link to is genetic legacies within the ME population who have elevated level of psychosis.

So which one is it? That's like saying the murder weapon might have been a spoon or a machete.

Can you provide some sources to this significant correlation between school shootings and cannabis use?

More like a sword or a machete. Both mind-altering substances.

I will have a look. Anders Brevik had been on steroids and the co-pilot of that plane that was deliberately crashed recently had taken/was on anti-depressants.

I suspect the causation is the opposite direction though - people the mental health issues are well known to self-medicate with a wide variety of drugs (alcohol included). Either that or we're looking at a common causation - certain personality types being drawn to both things.
