If they were assholes due to Lead poisoning theyd be sympathetic to a nonzero degree. But the reality is that they have no one to blame but themselves.
I mean, almost everyone who grew up in a large city from the 40s-80s was a victim to lead poisoning and other toxic chemicals (hell, lead in gasoline was officially banned in 96!). Doesn’t absolve them of sin but you’ve got to feel a little sorry for how little emotional control it can leave someone with.
And then how long does it take for decades of lead from exhaust on basically every roadside and garage in the world to make its way through the ground, into the groundwater, into water supplies and crops, into people and animals, and … back into the ground again.
