@spencerpratt People think that prison is about the criminal. That rehabilitation is the goal or even a goal. Prison is a place to keep them away from us. You commit a heinous crime, you forfeit society. Imagine if we just locked up all violent criminals forever. Living this way is a choice.
If Lindsay Clancy is found innocent because hormones made her emotionally unstable, women better be very careful celebrating that verdict.
Because the law loves PRECEDENT.
From that day forward, every job application is going to have a new question:
“Are you currently hormonal?”
“Well, I’m a woman.”
“Thank you. I think we’ll be going in another direction.”
You can’t carry a weapon anymore. No female police officers. Sorry, but we cannot hand a loaded gun to somebody whose legal defense might eventually be, “My hormones were acting up.”
No more high-stress jobs, either. No air-traffic controllers. No surgeons. No nuclear-launch codes. One bad hot flash and boom 💥 Canada is glowing.
And women definitely can’t be judges. How can you decide whether somebody else is emotionally stable when your own gender just established in court that hormones can make you kill three people?
No female politicians, either. You can’t be trusted to run the country if, according to your own argument, your endocrine system occasionally takes over the government.
And custody hearings are going to change overnight.
The judge will say, “Ordinarily, children belong with their mother. However, according to the Lindsay Clancy precedent, she may be only one hormone away from a Netflix documentary. The children go with Dad.”
Dad doesn’t know their shoe sizes, the pediatrician’s name or which one is allergic to peanuts, but his testosterone has never been successfully used as an insanity defense.
Feminists spent a hundred years saying women are not hysterical, irrational creatures controlled by their biology and one defense attorney walks into court and says, “Ladies and gentlemen of the jury… have you considered the uterus?”
You cannot demand equal authority and then ask for discounted accountability.
If women want equal rights, great. But equal rights come with equal wrongs.
Otherwise, that glass ceiling is about to become a padded ceiling.
As a nurse, I’ve been around thousands of psychotic people and none of them would have had the mental capacity to carry out one murder like this, much less 3. Think about what happened in those final moments.
Lindsay Clancy calmly wrapped her rubber exercise band around 8 month old Callan’s chubby neck as her two other children looked on.
As she pulled the band tighter and tighter, he couldn’t understand what was happening. For about 15 seconds, the pain was localized to his neck as his airway was crushed and his skin painfully pinched. 15 seconds later, his little lungs felt intense burning due to the build up of carbon dioxide. As he gasped for air and struggled to escape, the blood trapped in his skull started pounding, causing excruciating pressure and his eyes began to bulge. She continued to squeeze while he endured unimaginable pain and terror until he finally lost consciousness after 3 tortured minutes. Once he finally stopped fighting, his mother kept the pressure on his neck for 2-3 more minutes until she thought she’d finished the job. One body down in 6 minutes.
Little Dawson, 3, must’ve sensed what was about to happen to him because he ran to his father’s office, likely seeking a safe space. That’s where Lindsay caught him and wrapped an exercise band around his neck. A three year old is stronger than an infant and she’d have had to use much greater force to subdue him even though the timeline would have remained similar. Three minutes of horrific pain and terror until a loss of consciousness then 3 more minutes of pressure to finish the job. Two kids down in 12 minutes.
It would have been even more difficult to with her only daughter, Cora, 5. The little girl would have witnessed one, if not both of her brothers, being systematically strangled by her mother. But fight as she might, she was no match for her mother. Lindsey Clancy caught her, held her down, and began the killing ritual. As the band went around her neck and the life was squeezed out of her over the next 6 minutes, she’d wondered why her mommy was hurting her. Imagine the pain, the confusion, the horror the little one endured in her final moments.
It took Lindsay 18 minutes to kill all three of her children.
Death by strangulation isn’t a fast or painless death, as she well knew since she was an RN. It is an up close and personal killing and she’d have witnessed every moment of pain and terror in their helpless eyes as the life faded from their bodies. She CHOSE how her children would die.
Notice how she didn’t try to hang herself because she knew what a horrific death that would be. She tried to give herself the easy death she denied her children.
Whatever her mental state, she is a cold blooded killer who wiped out her family with less mercy than a serial killer.
Lindsay Clancy is a monster who deserves to die exactly as her children did- afraid and in pain.
God can have mercy on her soul because I certainly won’t.
@Mr_Husky1 He doesn’t have to pay at all. But if he’s giving her his money, he can set the conditions. If she feels so passionately that art history will pay for itself, then she doesn’t need help.
@RetardDecoder Pretty disappointed. I’m now a single issue voter because everything is downstream of immigration. We aren’t doing enough and we’re doing it too slowly.
My hottest Lindsay Clancy take is that even if you take her defense as gospel (I don’t, but let’s say), I don’t get why she wants to be found not guilty, for any reason. If you told me I’d completely lost my mind and murdered all three of my children, whom I loved, you wouldn’t have to give me the death penalty. I’d beg for it. I'd be so guilt-ridden and horrified, I’d do it if no one else would. Why would I want to be released on the grounds of…anything? To go back home and do what, start a new life? To live the rest of my miserable days in an insane asylum, staring at a wall thinking about the babies I’d strangled?
Honestly, even if you do believe she was genuinely *that disturbed*, the most merciful thing you could do is send her to the Lord and let him sort out the rest.
