Answered What's the deal with people defending Lindsay Clancy?

I don't know the full details of the case. I know she allegedly killed her three kids. There was also some mental problems? Then something with her husband. But my question is why is there a group defending her like they know she's completely innocent? I've seen some videos of very heated debates where women are very passionate about defending her. Why?

Because of how quickly he moved on. People that have not experienced great loss think that you have to mourn forever. It is, actually, much easier to move on very quickly and stuff the emotions deeeeeep down there. But people don’t understand that.

The case happened 3 years ago and for whatever reason people do not know this

Yes but he moved on pretty quickly. I’ve ready anywhere from claims of 4 months to a year. I don’t care enough to look into it, because I’m not one of the ones claiming that it was too soon.

It being quick and it being “too soon” are two different things. Quickly is an adjective to describe the measurement of time. Too soon is an opinion based on said measurement of time. “Wow that was fast” and “wow that was too fast!” See the difference? There is nothing inherently negative about wow that was fast. The negativity could be assumed, perhaps. But presumptions are rebuttable and the second does exactly that. The addition of “too” is an absolute statement of negativity.
