(15,882 posts)Funny. I have testosterone injections every two weeks, and have since I was 17, yet I haven't shot anyone in the back or lynched them.
Given how ignorant most people are about science and drugs in general, seeming to get most of their detailed info from sensationalist news reports, I have to laugh when I hear people pretend that "the drugs made them do it". There are tens of thousands of people out there who take these drugs who go about their life without a problem.
Some do abuse them, but I have not seen one who I didn't think brought their problems to the table and the started taking the drugs.
This reminds me of Scott Walker insisting on drug tests for people in poverty, since the drugs are obviously are at fault.
I know lots of white folk, especially those who protest that they aren't racist, are going to be looking for an out for this guy with their same skin tone, but there is no drug that made him the murdering racist and bigot that he is. And it didn't cause him to treat a black man like an animal and murder him.
He did that all on his own.
