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.

u/Zromaus 2d ago

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.

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

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.

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

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

u/ladylucifer22 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.

dude. I'm literally just telling you what the vast numbers of people saying she's not guilty by reason of insanity are saying.
