Not my fault! It’s the medication!
Want to get rich quick? Start taking antidepressants (or other drugs), then go out and kill (or try to kill) people. You will suffer no consequences of your crimes, AND you will make millions suing the drug companies! It’s a win-win plan! (Oh, except for the victims of your crime. They don’t win. But who cares about them? Your right to follow any impulse in your head trumps their right to live.)
CNN will help you establish your defense and lay grounds for your future civil claims!
Oh, it’s not his fault. It’s the medication!
Some people in this world are just stupid, selfish/self-centered, crazy, or downright evil. These people may or may not also be on medication, doing illegal drugs, or drinking alcohol. This does not absolve them of responsibility for their actions, and I’m so sick of reading news articles that imply so.
Do you remember the Twinkie Defense? (Guy killed his wife. Had something to do with the sugar rush he got from the Twinkie. He was diabetic or some such crap.)

Take a pill, eat a twinkie, have a period, give birth, experience menopause…hey, as women I don’t understand why we don’t murder more considering all the defenses we have for it.
HMMMM…maybe I should give that more thought…damn neighbor’s dog is still barking and digging under my fence…oh, I wouldn’t kill the dog….[starts humming, “Won’t you be my neighbor?”]
