People keep acting as though explaining why someone committed an act automatically means they shouldn’t be held responsible for it.
If a man gets drunk and rapes a woman, we don’t simply say, “He was under the influence, so he wasn’t responsible for what he did.”
If someone steals because they’re desperately poor, we can understand the desperation without pretending the theft didn’t happen.
If someone assaults another person because they were angry, we can understand the anger without declaring the assault acceptable.
Circumstances can explain behaviour without erasing accountability.
And that’s where I struggle with the Lindsay Clancy argument. Because while everyone is debating Lindsay’s mental state, three children don’t get to have a second chance at life.
Yes, she was mentally ill. Yes, postpartum psychosis is serious. Yes, I have sympathy for anyone suffering a psychiatric crisis.
But none of that, by itself, proves that she was incapable of knowing what she was doing or incapable of understanding that killing her children was wrong.
Three children were deliberately killed. Not one kid but three.
Mental illness may explain why someone does something. The legal question is whether that illness was so severe that the person should not be held criminally responsible.
Those are two completely different questions.
And I don’t think we should be afraid to say that simply because the person involved is a mother who was suffering.
Compassion for the perpetrator and justice for the victims can coexist.
She waited until her husband left. She was alone with them. She carried out the k!llngs. Then she attempted suicide.
I’m a woman o, but this goes to show you how we women can lie even if it means putting our lives in line.
Blessing cut her hair, made herself looked sick, and even got people donating money to her and it turned out to be a lie.
In order to be able to deal with a woman as a man, you must put all your emotions aside.
@DiceyNews@JavierBlas More like take out 90% of thier source of oil revenues so that 20 percent of global oil can flow, the need that oil to rebuild what is left of their country and military

How powerful is Donald Trump and the US???
* Donald Trump is fighting Iran.
* Donald Trump is negotiating peace between Russia and Ukraine.
* Donald Trump is fighting Christian genocide in Africa.
* Donald Trump is fighting drug trafficking in Venezuela.
* Donald Trump still has Venezuela president in custody.
* Donald Trump is doing everything to maintain world peace.
Can the world have a president like Donald Trump ever again?
I don’t think you can underrate what the assassination attempts did to Trump. He’s not pushing problems into the future, he’s trying to solve all of them now. On all fronts. It’s remarkable. Many of Trump’s biggest critics today will have grandkids who visit statues of him.
With the way Trump and Netayanhu are moving...
Very soon, some people go dey 2 share one virgin Jannah. 😂
Dem no born you well to collect 72 virgins when other 1,897 martyrs never even see one.
bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while blockading Cuba, while rebuilding Gaza, while acquiring Greenland, while annexing Canada, while winning Olympic gold… the US is on an absolute heater rn
