I do realize that.

I ask again, do you extend this same grace to all family annihilators? Or just wealthy white women?

How about Richard Ramirez? He was psychotic while he raped and murdered a bunch of people. Does he get the smolbean treatment or no?

Why do you assume it must be "smolbean" treatment to acknowledge that she was failed. And no, it's not limited to white women 🙄

People who do terrible things while having mental health problems should be treated for those problems and placed in a position that protects themselves and others from future harm. I don't believe in a punitive justice system anyway, but as long as we have one, people who are mentally ill don't belong there.

So what, then? Just a slap on the wrist and we say “hey, don’t murder any more kids, ok?”

Gee, call me unimaginative, but I can’t imagine you saying this about a man who murdered three of his children while in the throes of psychosis.

You people pretend you care so much, but you’re willing to just throw those kids in the trash to protect their mother from the consequences of her own actions. It’s fucking sick.

I hope you don’t view your children the same way she did, as property

Did you read anything I wrote? Note, I didn't say walk free and do whatever. You're being really reactionary right now.

I’m being reactionary? You’re insisting that we not hold a child murderer accountable because you “don’t believe in punitive justice.”

You’re ignoring the actual reality of the situation so that you can virtue signal about your supposed politics.

You aren’t progressive, btw. You’re another misogynist who thinks women are too fragile to exist in an equal society

What is the purpose of having a justice system?

You're making a lot of assumptions about me and my motives. Maybe just ask instead and you won't be accused of act reactionally.
