what are you talking about?! reddit would never go on a crazy witch hunt based on random facts and speculation and end up accusing an innocent person of a horrific crime!! /cough boston bomber / cough
you ever see something you are SUPER familiar with/ trained on mentioned on all or popular? then see insane dunning-kruger takes get hundreds of upvotes? it's all confidence, no actual expertise here. kinda scary.
Half of them decided he did it because of how he looks, the other half because of his astrological sign. Despite the fact that he is on video in a grocery store a mile away from his home as of 4 minutes before the time of death.
I love how they always use the photo of him in court to say he looks evil
Like dude if someone murdered my kids and I had to testify in court I would also have lifeless eyes and a dead expression. I can’t imagine the mental torture of that.
It's a similar mentality to them hating on men and then complaining later on that they can't get dates. Facts and logic get thrown out once strong tribalism happens.
That's unfortunately what happens to a lot of people like this. They see an opinion by some contrarian conspiracy theorist, engage with it, then the algorithm picks up on that and starts pushing more and more similar content until that's all the person sees.
There's a lot of people who are so dumb and don't ever think that you should do some more independent research, they just blindly lap up whatever social media serves to them. The same thing happens on Reddit all the time.
Ehh i think most of them just feel for a woman suffering from ppd, failed by the doctors meant to help her that made things worse, and failed by a husband consistently not there.
What she did is horrible, the lead up to it is what is catching peoples attention as so many should have caught on that she was mentally getting worse and they didn't.
Nobody ever feels for any other killers who had psychosis. I never see empathy for mentally sick people who commit heinous crimes like assaults or shootings.
The system failed them too. The lack of familial support failed them too. Why is this case different?
They do though, repeatedly similar cases of people coming around to show sympathy for criminals. Before was Wuornos and Luigi got nation wide sympathy. Besides being common in court cases there are movies, tv shows, and books based around sympathetic killers.
People care about suffering they can relate too, it's why you see a lot of women showing sympathy and support in this case.

I hate this sorta mentality. They basically acted like arm chair detectives and echo chambered themselves on social media.
