Steroids give you a nasty temper and shrunken balls. They don’t make you worship Individual 1 and mail pipe bombs to Dems.

Politics is a hell of a drug. Well, that, and steroids. Oh, and stupidity. Politics and steroids and stupidity is a hell of a drug.

Does it mean that Trump supporters have a similar mental condition to a steroids abuser?

Maybe some kid can claim that he had been drinking and smoking crack for years before he robbed the liquor store.

This comment stood out to me:

In his letters, Sayoc told U.S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff that he had abused steroids for more than four decades and was using 274 different supplements and vitamins along with “heavy amounts of steroids” before his arrest.

Um, no you weren’t “using 274 different supplements and vitamins.” Those things are expensive and you lived in a van.

And his reasoning?

He wrote that before he mailed explosives, his idea “first was how to tone down the liberal left violence platform.” He wrote that he believed prominent Democrats were encouraging violence, saying he had been attacked personally — including as he returned to his hotel after attending Trump’s inauguration.

Sayoc also asserted “leftist leadership” had encouraged followers to commit violence that caused $1,800 worth of damage to his van, including slashed tires, sliced fuel lines, broken windows and doors and damage to his battery that a mechanic told him could have caused it to explode.

I’m sure it wasn’t the hyper-aggressive partisan content of the bumpersticker wallpaper all over his van. Also, steroid abusers are known to be calm, non-aggressive people who would never seek out confrontation. My only consolation in this is that he has to have completely ruined his genitalia at this point (assuming he ever had any in the first place).

Straight from the Trump playbook, dodge responsibility for ANYTHING! Disgusting!

He may have also been lead-poisoned by his hair paint.

Zero responsibility with these people. The violent leftist liberal mob forced him to send pope bombs to Trumps enemies… it had nothing to do with attending cult rallies with an angry loudmouth speaker encouraging violent acts against his enemies.

Do you suppose he is related to Steve King (Victim-IA)?

I look askance at sending bombs to people, I think it’s not quite the thing, don’t get me wrong. But if this guy’s lawyer can establish he’s as messed up as he claims to be, and can show the bombs really weren’t meant to explode, then I think some sort of mandated therapy situation and really close supervision probably for the rest of his life would suffice. I’m not sure he’s capable of telling right from wrong at this point.

I am fairly sure that rampant stupidity, FoxNews, methamphetamine, and Oxycontin had a little to do with it, too. And low self-esteem brought on by the fact he looks like a high school yearbook photo of Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Kinda the dictionary definition of a MAGAt, that.

He said he never intended to injure anyone when he mailed 16 rudimentary bombs to CNN offices and numerous Democrats, including former presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, former President Barack Obama, former Vice President Joe Biden, members of Congress and actor Robert De Niro.

Seems legit.

Your honor, I admit I cut the brake lines to several person's cars. But at no time did I intend harm to come to any of them.

Sorry, I have to call BS on this. Roid Rage makes you lash out angrily at people, or sets you off for little to no reason whatsoever. It does not, however, lead you to commit premeditated murder by constructing pipebombs and sending them to prominent “Libruls” for the sake of “lowering leftist violence”. That’s about as stupid as claiming low-blood sugar insanity for premeditated murder. “Your honor, I wouldn’t have tried to assassinate the President if someone would have just broken off a piece of that Kit Kat bar.”

Is this the new “Twinkies defense”? Because that worked out so well for the last guy who tried it.

I think he means his illegal 40 years use of steroids…Still a crime…so prosecutors might want to tack that one on as another charge just to cover all their bases.

Lock him up…without steriods

Well, remember, when he sent the bombs, he didn’t want to hurt anyone who received them. Like driving the wrong way down a one-way street, it’s just a matter of personal direction. It’s public perception that makes it ‘wrong’ or ‘dangerous’.
