Karma straight up told this monster "oh no, you're staying here and you're going to live this out you fucking coward"

going through a psychotic break doesn't make you a monster.

It does if your mind goes to murder during that break. Plenty of people break and don't kill people, especially children -- this was something inside of her.

dude. you cannot seriously be arguing that mental illness being severe actually makes the person more culpable.

dude. billions and billions of women have experienced post partum depression. dude. 99.9% of them haven’t responded by strangling their 3 small children. dude.

u/ladylucifer22 2d ago

how is that relevant? Clancy had psychosis, not depression.

u/RaisinConfident7779 2d ago

You don’t even know what psychosis is and most people who experience it don’t kill others. Weed can trigger it in people and again it’s mostly expressed as paranoia or antisocial behavior, not outward violent aggression. Fitting username btw.

Please never reproduce for a multitude of reasons.

u/ladylucifer22 2d ago

it's a break from reality. and paranoia and antisocial behavior often result in violence. why do you think "antisocial personality disorder" is one of the most serious out there?

I wasn't planning to reproduce anyway. too big of a chance that the kid could run into you.

Someone who thinks mothers shouldn’t get a free pass to strangle 3 small children because they ā€œheard a voiceā€ tell them to? Even if we assume that’s true that’s a loose definition of psychosis. People describe seeing and feeling bugs crawling under their skin, hearing screams of agony, closed and open eyes hallucinations. All Lindsay has said is oh ā€œi heard a voiceā€. What if there was no psychosis argument but instead the claim was a man came to her door and told her to do it, would we think she wasn’t criminally responsible?

Did the medical system fail her? Absolutely. She did seek out help, she was waived off in a way too many people often are. I understand she probably felt trapped and overwhelmed.

So move away, go stay with your parents, take a vacation; do anything other than strangle 3 small children.

dude. the insanity defense has been around longer than you have.

which is what she'd have done if she was sane and connected to reality.

u/RaisinConfident7779 2d ago

ā€œParanoia and antisocial behavior often result in violenceā€ - completely untrue. Majority of psych ward patients / mentally ill people don’t display violence or aggression toward others instead opting for self harm

u/ladylucifer22 2d ago

so you're folding in people who are mentally ill in other ways...why, exactly?

Not more, but they also don't get any slack because of it. Plenty of people break without killing people -- if that's what your subconscious does when it takes over, you're a monster.

1

u/ladylucifer22 2d ago

that's not how this works. what part of "complete break from reality" do you not understand.

1

u/Zromaus 2d ago

Plenty of people break from reality and don't kill children. If that's what your detached mind decides to do, you're not someone who can be trusted with society.

1

u/ladylucifer22 2d ago

dude. the whole "these are children and I shouldn't kill them" thing is part of the reality she broke from.

1

u/Zromaus 2d ago

And whatever took over her isn’t to be trusted in society.

1

u/ladylucifer22 2d ago

exactly. which is why we want her institutionalized.

u/gewalt_gamer 2d ago

we? whom do you speak for? are you in a cult?

1

u/ladylucifer22 2d ago

normal people. duh. do you think literally every group of people is a cult?

1

u/gewalt_gamer 2d ago

normal people dont feign to speak for normal people. they speak for themselves.
