13. I've been taking steroids for about 40 years. Haven't shot up any innocent people yet.

Wouldn't it be great if every mass shooter was crazy and all the murdering, racist cops just had to be stopped from taking illegal drugs.

The real answer is neither of those. Many serial killers are quite smart and evaluated as sane enough to know what they are doing is wrong and could stop, but don't.

I would bet money that steroids had not a damn thing to do with the shooting above, or most cop shootings.

To find the answers to how to stop this, we have to quit making excuses for the bad actors.
