@QuantumGuard17 Even if they had the best excuse ever told, if it’s a crime, they should be punished. What the fuck is wrong with you? Are we a civilized society or barbarians?! Do you want maniacs running about murdering and raping with impunity. Cause that’s the end result of your lunacy.
If you could be persuaded to not vote because some commentator who isn’t even running for office expressed opinions that make you sad, then the fault is entirely your own. You’re an absurd, shallow narcissist and it isn’t my job or anyone else’s to cater to you. So go ahead and stay home and hand the country over to socialists if that’s what you want to do. But don’t try to offload responsibility for that decision to me. I don’t even know you or have anything to do with you. You’re an adult. Act like it. Or act like a ridiculous child. Up to you. Leave me out of it.
I understand the alleged reason for it, but it is absolutely batshit insane that the prosecutors in the Karmelo Anthony case agreed not to tell the jury that Anthony was openly fantasizing about stabbing someone only hours before he killed Metcalf. This was premeditated murder. They had the evidence right there and never used it.
If I could erase it from my memory I probably would. I don’t want to know that there are so many soulless goblins walking among us. But I do know it now.
“The system failed her!”
What do you want “the system” to do exactly? What precisely should someone have done for Lindsay Clancy that wasn’t already being done? How much more pampering and coddling did this useless woman need to prevent her from strangling her children?
Hey so…..no.
This is a civilization-destroying level of toxic empathy.
Lindsay Clancy’s “support system” is not responsible for her actions. She is an adult with agency that chose with that agency, to murder her own children.
Was she sick in the head? Absolutely.
Is that EVER an excuse for violence against your own children? No.
A mother committing violence against her children is not excusable. This is an unspeakable evil.
And ladies, watch how your empathy is being weaponized against you on this. Postpartum is HARD. Yes. But struggle is a part of life and in no other situation do sane people allow struggle to be an excuse for violent crime.
Don’t believe me?
Ask yourself how the media would respond to this if she killed puppies instead.
Our world’s moral compass is flipped upside down, and we need to guard ourselves against getting swept up in that tide.
I’m not claiming that postpartum depression/psychosis doesn’t exist. I’m not claiming that psychiatrists never over medicate their patients. I’m simply stating that neither are valid defenses for murdering children, & sane women don’t relate to women who murder their children & then make up excuses instead of taking accountability. I’m not going to participate in any movement that normalizes harming children. Got it?
Night. 🫡
I have been saying forever that we need to abolish the entire concept of “not guilty by reason of insanity.” Every day I am proven right all over again. This needs to be an issue that the Right takes up and champions in a big way. Enough is enough.
Prosecutors: she killed the kids
Husband: she killed the kids
Defense team: she killed the kids
Her: I killed the kids
Disturbed retards: “let’s not assume anything. Wait for due process!”
The same disturbed retards: “Maybe the husband did it!”
“But postpartum depression….”
She murdered three children.
“But psychosis….”
She murdered three children.
“But—”
No. She murdered three children. I don’t care why she did it. She doesn’t get to walk free.
If you say she belongs in a mental hospital instead of a prison, fine—we can have that discussion. I’ve been saying we need to build more insane asylums anyway.
But she murdered three children. Whether in a prison or an asylum, there’s not a hole deep enough to toss her into. And if indeed we blame her doctors, which seems fair enough, they can join her in there.

@audrawrongspeak Actually, the problem is not empathy fatigue. the problem is empathy misplacement. Society is forcefully encouraged to put our empathy on the criminals and not the victims.
After working in criminal law for years I have a hard time feeling sorry for people with mental health disorders.
40% of the prison population has some type of diagnosis, and eventually they get paroled.
And then it’s “I didn’t want to take my medicine because it made me feel funny.”
So then they hurt someone else.
Then they’re back in jail.
Rinse, Repeat.
I don’t hate them but I have empathy fatigue.
Especially when you factor in how many people take their medications, go to therapy, do the hard work to manage their issues, and up with emergency plans in case things go south.
Every time I see someone in the news doing something horrific with a diagnosis I think “How many chances were you given?”
I don’t think I’m alone in the empathy fatigue either.
Weird how her psychosis only had her murder children and not attack someone who could defend themselves.
Actually that weirdly happens with everyone who uses insanity as a defense. Somehow they can always sanely curate who they attack.
Postpartum psychosis occurs in roughly 1–2 per 1,000 births.
The large majority of postpartum psychosis
occurs within the first 2–4 weeks.
Modern research cohorts that study PPP typically set enrollment cutoffs around 6 months. Multiple doctors and hospital said Lindsay did not have psychosis.
Lindsay killed three sweet innocent children.
