Right Wing(nut) Lie of the Week- Trayvon Martin had Ingredients for DXM Abuse
Oh the ignorance coupled with hatred…
Good old Wingnut News Daily is
gleefully reporting on the “serious investigative work” of the racist far right wing nut blogger “sundancer”‘s
The Conservative Treehouse who claims that the Skittles and iced tea Trayvon Martin was carrying when murdered are essential ingredients in the Dextromethorphan (DXM) concoction called “lean”. He further claims that the autopsy shows liver damage consistent with DXM abuse, and that DXM abuse causes psychosis and aggression over the long term.
Now…where to start?
Well- first off- sundancer either ignorantly or intentionally as it fits his view, ignores the fact that the candy Skittles is NOT an ingredient of the concotion. Skittles in this sense is simply slang for Coricidin Cold Pills which contain DXM.
Ok- now that the whole underlying premise is blown out of the water…
The
autopsy does not show any signs of liver damage and indeed clearly states “normal”. And never mind that both the physical and mental damage claimed from DXM would take years of sustained abuse to manifest. And abuse at levels incompatible with someone of Trayvons age. And abuse at levels which surely would have manifested in both social and legal knowledge of the abuse.
