When he got off the medicine, he would go wacko,\u201d Ferriere said in a phone interview. \u201cHe beat people up. He would threaten people. He got locked up. He lost his job three or four times because he wouldn\u2019t take his medicine.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That&#8217;s odd, because thousands of Marines who suffer the effects of PTSD didn&#8217;t kill anyone, or &#8220;go whacko&#8221; this week, or the week and months before Tuesday.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cNo one in this God-given world knows why he did it. I can\u2019t tell you why he did it,\u201d Bob Ferriere said, adding the only possibility was the PTSD, based on his past behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Ferriere said he believes Frink suffered from PTSD from his time in the Marines and had a traumatic brain injury. But he didn\u2019t know when he served nor how he might have gotten injured. He also did not say what medications Frink was taking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe had 10 years of fighting PTSD,\u201d Ferriere said. \u201cWhen he didn\u2019t take his medicine, he went berserk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A spokesman for the U.S. Marines did not respond to a request to confirm Frink\u2019s military service or his injuries.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Step-Dad, obviously a trained clinician familiar with PTSD, &#8220;believes&#8221; that Frink suffers from PTSD, but he doesn&#8217;t know when the guy served or how he caught the disorder. He&#8217;s convinced that medication corrects Frink&#8217;s PTSD, but he doesn&#8217;t know what this magic drug is called &#8211; despite the fact that this supposed disorder affects the entire family. I&#8217;m thinking that he was messed up before he joined the Marines, if he even was a Marine, and came out the same way. <\/p>\n<p>The Marines just provide an easy-to-understand cause for the media &#8211; the same media that runs with the story before they can even verify it with the Marine Corps.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to H1 for the link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The other day, Travis Frink calmly walked into the hospital room where his mother was being &hellip; <a title=\"Travis Frink; PTSD made him murder his mother\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=74757\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Travis Frink; PTSD made him murder his mother<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":74758,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[177,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74757","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dumbass-bullshit","category-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=74757"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74757\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/74758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=74757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=74757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=74757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
