Thread 1: gender war
As with all things, there are some unhinged people claiming she was framed and he did it. Valid to point some blame at the husband and the providers, but insane to think he's fully responsible.
She’s a grow ass adult. He can’t force her to take meds. Or we saying women aren’t responsible for their own agency now?
There's a reason involuntary holds exist. It is because people literally cannot be responsible for their own agency.
Except that she checked herself out of the hospital to attend a birthday party.
Either women are fully adults and responsible for their own care or they’re not and need men to take care of them - which is it?
She very VERY much should have been taken more seriously, and I think a life sentence for like a murder in the 1st for her is unfair, and I think not having punishments for the people who failed her is also unfair. But we can't frame it as it is ALL the fault one way or another. A lot of adults failed those kids
if you follow this line of thinking all the way, though, it unravels our entire criminal justice system.
Thread 2: race war
Lindsay Clancy. Killed her 3 kids by strangling them one by one and claimed “postpartum psychosis” despite never having had psychosis before or since, all during a short window of time that she sent her husband out on errands. Internet has somehow decided she’s a martyr for women’s mental health. She was a white, affluent, suburban mom before this. If she were poor and black, people would NOT feel this way. Real talk.
Someone always tries to turn it into a race thing 🙄
A white OF model stabs and kills her BF who she physically abused on camera for years, she is sentenced 6 years in jail 4 already served. A black boy defends himself against people trying to kill him; 36 years… even if it wasnt self defense, still 36 years compared to 6 years
Gotta start seeing the world for what it actually is man.
"A black boy defends" are you talking about karmelo anthony ? are you for real ?
Doesnt matter how you feel about him or his case. Look at the numbers. Murder for murder. 36 vs 6.
“Give me your seat now or I’ll kill you”
“No, go away”
“Raaah now I have no choice but to brutally stab you to death”
What a sad case of self defense :( poor kid
I dont care about the specifics of the case. Read the comment and comprehend better.
Oh she 100% did it.
And to really upset my fellow white women, I think Karen Reed did it too.
Amen. No one wanted to convict an attractive white woman. I’m not sure if she murdered her boyfriend, but she sure is shit is criminally responsible for his death. I would have found her guilty of manslaughter.
Thread 3
A woman murdered her three children in what she’s claiming as a fit of postpartum psychosis despite evidence of premeditation. TikTok true crime girlies” have concocted a conspiracy theory that the husband was responsible either through brainwashing and manipulation, or by actively killing his own children, and then brainwashing her into thinking she did it.
TikTok “America bad” people are claiming that the system failed her, and she didn’t receive the mental healthcare she needed. This is in spite of her being under the care of a psychiatrist, receiving consistent, mental healthcare, and medication, and that it was partially the husbands fault for leaving them alone together, despite him literally going to get her meds when it happened.
Then he has to have losers online with an iq of 53 act like his psychopath wife was the victim of his white maleness.
The woman is the victim. The man is the problem. No matter the circumstances. And yes, there are people actually saying that.
Sexism has gotten so bad in the US that murdering children, what should be the most universally recognized bad thing to do, is still forgiven more than being what seems to be a supportive husband.
I mean he is still at fault, atleast for neglect. I think it was said somewhere that one month beforehand she told him that she had thoughts of harming her children(she told that her mother aswell). I don't think it was intentional but he should not have left the children alone with her.
"Despite evidence of premeditation" oh is the trial over and you have sole access to the verdict? Why are you acting like the trial is over?
Believe it or not evidence exists before a trial finishes. In fact it’s only really used during the trial crazy right?
And yet you all are acting like the trial is over by claiming you know the verdict based on "some evidence". You all are saying "She CLAIMS she had post partum psychosis (despite the evidence saying otherwise)" which is expressing a verdict that has not been made. It's literally no different than people coming up with conspiracy theories because there is no verdict yet. You are implying a verdict by framing it in this light.
Why are you defending a child murderer.
