It's called Google and logic. Just because you don't like someone doesn't mean you have to close your mind to the possibilities. A lawsuit, or at least the threat of one, is almost inevitable and I expect she'll be suing for her contract to be paid out for at least a year. Most likely they'll settle and we won't hear about it.
It's logical that when someone puts forth a hypothesis you investigate. Had you bothered to read my post you would see that the side effects of Ambien are very powerful and those side effects, as listed by WebMD, could easily be directly linked to a state of mind where one could make stupid posts on social media. Have you ever seen someone hallucinate after taking a prescription drug? I have. It's scary. I'm not drawing any conclusions. Don't close your mind to the possibilities just because it's someone you don't like.
Its a massive reach and one that would indicate a continued series of side affects that has lasted for a significant period of time before this incident and continued after she was aware of it.
She must have been hallucinating pretty heavily to see Valerie Jarrett as a baby who had the Muslim Brotherhood and the Planet Of The Apes as parents.
But it doesn't make them racist murderers
If a drug is known to make people do things they have no recollection of, it’s entirely possible it could inadvertently make someone say something stupid and making a racist comment is up there for stupidity.
You need to reread what I said. Inadvertently. I’m not blaming the drug, I’m saying if side effects are causing you to do/say things you normally wouldn’t, it’s entirely possible you could make a racist comment on it.
I didn’t negate anything. You fail to read once more. I can see the argument she’s making. However, she still said it, she’s still responsible for it. That’s my view. She clearly went in a different direction of defense.
Alcohol and other drugs can indeed make you say things you normally would never say - alcohol in particular lowers your inhibitions to an alarming extent, and combined with its other wonderful effects (such as instant mood changes and the inability to remember what you just said), it can result in some pretty dumb things being said by people who don't normally behave that way at all.
When faced with the choice between being cool about it and wielding every inch of authority they can muster, some people just go the Gestapo route.
Gotta stick to the letter of the law even though these people are calmly having a nice day in the sun, apparently.
I mean, hell, as a cop do you even bother chasing a girl down the beach over some booze? Either let it go or just sit there and wait for her to come back. Why escalate over absolutely nothing?
