@Nikkon2025@egirlian Asking about her values is one thing. Believing that she could harm their hypothetical children or at the very least is ok with that kind of behavior because she believes mental illness can affect criminal responsibility is an irrational leap in logic .
@NJBeisner Acknowledging the cause of the murders is not excusing the harm. Recognizing her mental health crisis is not defending her actions. If we actually care about preventing these tragedies, we have to be willing to examine the circumstances that contributed to them.
@rtodoeleter@Nikkon2025@egirlian What it’s telling is that these men have already checked out of the relationship and want a reason to break up in a way that makes their girlfriend look like a bad guy.
@mydogsarehungry@SilentPandemic@thatsKAIZEN If the evidence established criminal intent and responsibility as clearly as you’re claiming, the prosecution should be able to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. But that is exactly what remains disputed in this complex case.
@Phyllis94584953 There is absolutely no evidence that treating someone with severe mental illness in a psychiatric hospital sends a message to other women that murdering their children is okay. That’s a fear you’ve constructed because it supports the narrative you want to tell about women.
@TalonXavier1973@ItsjustmeandJC@TheRemnantView It sounds like you ran out of arguments and decided to attack women instead.
Men have also shown they are cruel. Source: the entirety of human history. But obviously that doesn’t prove that all men are inherently cruel creatures.
Nuance is sadly lost on you.
@TheLinzerShow Hot take: You can believe what Lindsay Clancy did was horrific, believe her children were victims, and still believe the prosecution has to prove criminal responsibility beyond a reasonable doubt. Those positions aren’t mutually exclusive.
@TalonXavier1973@ItsjustmeandJC@TheRemnantView You don’t get to say “I care about protecting kids” while dismissing an entire area of knowledge that is directly relevant to understanding how some of these tragedies happen. That isn’t a contradiction on my end. It’s one in yours.
@mydogsarehungry@SilentPandemic@thatsKAIZEN You continue to confuse psychosis and psychopath. Her mental health isn’t being offered as an excuse for what happened. Her mental state is relevant to her legal culpability for what happened. That’s just how determining criminal responsibility works.
@shanianottwain2 Hot take: He was looking for a reason to break up with her, so he weaponized a complicated murder case against his girlfriend and made her the bad guy instead of being an adult and simply admitting he wanted out.
Now men are fantasizing about having a woman to break up with over the Clancy case. Y’all are the weird ones turning a tragedy into a vehicle for your own confirmation bias.
