An accidental overdose: D.C. police also said on the day after the riot that Rosanne Boyland, 34, of Kennisaw, Georgia, suffered a “medical emergency.” The New York Times reported on Jan. 15 that Boyland died “in a crush of fellow rioters during their attempt to fight through a police line, according to videos reviewed by The Times.” That narrative was furthered by prosecutors pressing criminal cases against some of the rioters who said that as rioters clashed with police, Boyland “was dying after being trampled by the mob.”

But a month later, the D.C. medical examiner’s office released its conclusion that Boyland had died accidentally of “acute amphetamine intoxication.” According to the Washington Post, “The drug cited in Boyland’s death is addictive and can be prescribed to treat attention-deficit disorder and narcolepsy.”

Boyland’s sister told the Associated Press that a police detective told the family that Boyland — an avid Trump supporter who subscribed to Q Anon conspiracy theories — had collapsed while standing off to the side in the Capitol rotunda.

"Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son." Substitute drugged for drunk. I suppose I should be more sympathetic but I'm just over it all -- MAGATs, COVIDIOTS, ammosexuals, "pro-lifers"...

it wasn't until I watched the history channel's series on hitler and the nazis about ten years ago, that I leaned about the army running on speed. It blew my mind and made all the sense in the world at the same time.

When he attended the Olympics, in the film, and watched Jesse Owens win and his girl drop the baton in the relay. It looked like he was going to explode. Constant movement. Speed

personally, i think a great deal of police misconduct can be traced back to roids.
we should do a lot more drug testing of violent people.
