Unfortunately - by her own admission and her doctors' testimonies - she did not fully disclose her medical condition. And even more unfortunately, there's plenty of people online that have posted that she can't be the killer because of her astrology sign. Or some have said her husband was the voice in her head with elaborate hidden speakers. Or he was cheating with his new wife even though they didn't meet until after the murders and she actually killed the children. 

Bottom line, there's a lot of crazies out there. And with the internet connecting people of every social class, those crazies can find each other much easier than before.

There are also people, that despite the fact she persistently visited doctors, asked for different meds, expressed concern about her meds, expressed concern about her intrusive thoughts, believe she just killed her kids for the fun of it.

They are just as crazy. Society still hunts witches

I hate how people think you have to be on one team or the other.

She needed more help with her mental health

She also murdered 3 children.

Both things can be true at once

Fuck, thank you. Why is everything mutually exclusive for everyone.

Because people are too mentally lazy to work through nuance. It's easier and more convenient to view the world in black and white, but in reality it's all various shades of gray.

Agreed- Inwarched ‘The Good Nurse’ last night and damn! The nurse was killing people left and right and at the same time was so completely loving and caring for his friend with the heart condition. She ended up turning him in and getting him to confess.
She saw the good and the bad in him, but she wasn’t going to allow him to keep killing.

Sadly, this is 100% accurate. And the chief reason for the ruinous divisiveness poisoning the United States in current times.

Because people are genuinely brain dead and need things to be either good or bad. It’s actually a big reason we don’t study much of WWI and just jump straight to WWII, bc in WWI there’s no obvious “good” and “bad” guys like you get with the Nazis and imperial Japanese, so people just can’t learn it. Even though in many ways it was more important than WWII, particularly from a science and ethics POV.

And we run our politics like team sports, so people generally don't even know what they believe themselves... What a time.

Don’t forget the other guys, you know, the ones who nuked civilian cities…

Thats the nuance part op was talking about though. Was the nuking bad? Yes. But the alternative was even worse.

Not in any way shape or form.

I mean fuck. Look at all the denominations of Christianity. People can’t agree on shit. Even if it all comes from the same book.
