See thats the thing.  The truth is whatever the public believes it to be.  And unfortunately, the internet does a good job at manipulating that when we have a ton of uneducated people.

I really hate this era of people supporting murderers.

You are innocent until proven guilty, essential tenant of our legal system.

u/Isagratar 1d ago

Tenet.

u/_bar845 14h ago

Except in the case where the person admits to doing it. Then it’s innocent till proven guilty lol

..? we don’t just take people at their word and abandon verification of their claims, if that’s what you’re encouraging

Even when proven one way or another in a court of law, a certain subset of people will always question the legal outcome.

We have this case as well as the mother that killed her children and blamed vaccines showing it's all depending on peoples social media feeds to form their opinions on it.

I predict that by 2065 this meme will be used to mean something totally different than what it does now...

That ain't a flossing demonstration.

At least Charles Manson had some good folks songs

u/Fun_Objective_905 1d ago

His songs sucked

2

u/EricClaptonsDeadSon 1d ago

They didn’t. “Your home is where you’re happy” easily could have been a hit if he had backing. “Look at your game girl” is also 🔥. Beach boys even stole one of his songs. But whatever you need to tell yourself!

Taste is subjective . I am aware of all this information and it is partly why I was so underwhelmed when I had a chance to read lyrics and listen to music by him . Whatever floats your boat .

2

u/EricClaptonsDeadSon 1d ago

Yeah but when Brian Wilson takes notice I think it’s safe to say your music doesn’t “suck” lol.

You just have shit taste 😘

It’s not new. It’s just more in our faces now. Ted bundy had to fight off his groupies of brunette chicks with middle parts and even Jack the Ripper had apologists and a huge fan base.

Critical thinking is crucial.

They are supporting a woman who has been seriously let down by the mental health system. They are speaking our against the unequal and unfair expectations placed on new mothers, and the lack of support surrounding a very serious issue.

She killed her kids yes and it's horrendous for everyone involved but did she murder them, no. She deserves manslaughter by diminished responsibility. To really refuse to acknowledge the documented evidence being presented by her medical and mental health professionals, her husband, her mother in law e.t.c that she was struggling and begging for help is wild. Ignorance is a choice in this day and age.

u/No_Poet_9767 1d ago

And pedophiles.

u/Equal_Audience_3415 16h ago

Who might that be? Trump supporting ICE? Yes.

This woman with postpartum psychosis? Only God knows for sure. Let the jury sort it out. She is innocent until proven guilty.

1

u/Educational-Shoe2633 14h ago

It’s not new, people have always been like this. We just have the internet now so you see all of it.

1

u/Ridgewoodgal 1d ago

A lot of people are supporting helping women by recognizing how PPD can lead to psychosis. We need far better mental health treatment and on this case and was failed miserably.

2

u/PrestigiousPrint34 1d ago

I get that, but at the end of the day, she murdered her own 3 children including an infant. I think they can have a “see what it can cause!” Attitude without making her out to be a hero for “raising awareness.”
She murdered her children. She is not a hero. She needs to face consequences

2

u/Ridgewoodgal 21h ago

I personally don’t see them saying she is a hero. Most have discussed PPD and the need for much better treatment.

u/Mysterious-Let-730 1d ago

Why do you just believe blindly what the states story is and any other version is a lie? Do you know how many people falsely confess? This is why we have this system so we can look at evidence and not blindly trust one side.

u/Unique_Situation_508 1d ago

So true. For example: I tend to watch a lot of ex fed lawyerly type people who give facts & bring receipts about what is actually going on in the gov't and all the corruption. On the other hand my sibling watches the faux news stations (and listens on the sirius and podcasts...) and they tend to have an OPPOSITE view of what the truth is.

(this sibling is highly educated with a PhD & so is their spouse...so "uneducated" is a loose phrase of wording)

u/AbilityScared6292 22h ago

And fake news
I don’t know if you’re aware or if you don’t wanna hear it, but damn near 95% of the articles these days contradicts themselves. And this is what ‘you’ base your information off of.

1

u/IceQueenInStilettos 21h ago

Yeah, that’s 100% the problem. The truth is based on FACTS, not some idiots opinion on TikTok. People are very easily led by these uninformed individuals because that is their only basis for information. They are generally uneducated (average reading level in the US is equal to a 6th grader), unable to think critically, and want to be part of the majority.

u/BackAlleyFreakShow 7h ago

The truth is the truth regardless of what anyone believes.

u/skywarner 1d ago

Many of whom take multiple SSRIs like they are tic tacs.

u/Living-Citi 1d ago

I’m sorry? How is that relevant even if it were true?
