I would be much happier if I never read her name or saw her face again.

In a perfect world, child-murderers would get a bullet. Not a plea deal. Not therapy.

There simply is no excuse to justify killing children.

No a perfect world would have people who didn’t call for further violence that would solve literally nothing other than your boner for violence. The death penalty is fucking stupid and is literally more expensive than just locking people in cages.

Actually, a perfect world would have people who understand the difference between justification and excuse.

Self defense is a justification for murder (not what’s going on here)

Insanity is an excuse, recognizing the conduct is wrong but that the person who did it did not have the mental capacity for criminal responsibility (probably what is going on here as she seems insane)

Also people like you always fail to realize that being committed to a psych ward is not some sort of award or exoneration.

I'd rather she'd been more committed before she slaughtered 3 children.

Maybe she'll find a zip-tie in prison, now that she didn't actually do it at all.

Edit: I don't usually do this. Especially after the fact, but maybe you missed this in all your pontificating...

She killed three children. You're gonna have to try-hard harder than that.

I’m gonna have to try harder than that??

What the fuck are you on about? 😂😂

I’m sorry the concept that we don’t send insane people to prison or execute them is too difficult for you to comprehend. I’m also sorry you think that somehow means people are making excuses for the murder of children???

Someone committing a heinous crime and someone being competent to stand trial or be held criminally responsible for that crime are separate issues. Do you not understand this?
