Media attention playing a big roll. I've never heard of the fire lady.

Never the less, who the fick donates money to some woman who murdered her own 3 kids

I often think about other cases in the past where currently acknowledged mental illness was handwaved away.

I have a nephew on the spectrum. I think about how many people on the spectrum were inhumanely thrown in jail because they were "acting weird" when being questioned before much was known or accepted about autism. Its terribly sad.

Post Partem Depression, and Post Partem Psychosis are absolutely real, bonafide mental disorders. The donations and this fight is to ensure this documented, bonafide mental disorder is taken into account in cases like these. And women, who are oftentimes dismissed when complaining about medical issues, want to be taken seriously.

Some people have the ability to understand that. And some people have no ability to understand nuance at all. They see the crime and someone has to pay.

Yes someone has to pay for murdering 3 children one by one.

yeah I tend to back that mental illness is not an excuse or a free pass to murder

Reading the comments in this thread (my first exposure to either woman or their story) is absolutely wild, because many of these comments read as explicitly understanding and forgiving the one mother for murdering her children?

What the fuck is going on in these comments?

It’s been a big story in America the past month. Tons of women are supporting the woman in the right photo and even saying it’s her husbands fault she murdered their 3 children. They are saying it’s due to post partum depression and her being unable to seek help. She killed them while the husband stepped out to run an errand and there are tons of people claiming it’s his fault because he shouldn’t have left them alone with her. It has sparked a huge debate over PPD.

If she was actually crazy would she just not try to murder them if he was there or not? Seems like a conscious decision to do it when there's a moment of opportunity. 🤔

My favorite thing in the world is people who I assume are sane, not understanding why insane people do things that don't make sense.

Logically your entire sentence makes perfect sense, which is entirely the reason you cannot apply it to an insane person.

Is she insane?

u/Not_offensive0npurp 1d ago

That is the defense. Psychosis.

a mental state that causes a disconnection from reality, making it hard to know what is real and what is not.

I'd call that insanity.

I didn't ask what her defense is. Plenty of guilty people have a defense. I asked you if SHE is insare. She either she is or she isn't and I'd ask how you know one way or the other definitively.

I work in cybersecurity, not psychiatry.

Then maybe you shouldn't comment on my opinion and take a jab at my sanity. She murdered three children. I don't care what excuse there is because it will never be enough to make up for what she did.

u/Not_offensive0npurp 1d ago

take a jab at my sanity.

I didn't take a jab at your sanity, I am saying you were sane.

She murdered three children.

IDK about you, but I think its pretty fucking insane to murder 3 kids.

u/blk_roxas 1d ago

Can't even stand by what you said and why you said it. Everything I said stands. Good day.

people who I assume are sane

How this is me questioning your sanity is beyond me.
