Lindsay Clancy -Mother of 3 kills her kids during psychotic episode

[Basman]

As she confessed to the murder of her three kids, it's just a question if she goes to jail or the psychward. There's a strong argument to be made that she's basically insane but also mishandled as mental patient (IE. her carers are responsible for the incident is the argument they want to make).

That said, I don't think being able to plead insanity should relieve one of culpability. It feels like a loophole to get away with murder, and it does get used like that broadly speaking.

I also think that because she's a women she gets treated with kid's gloves, as if women aren't capable of responsibility. It's weirdly sexist and infantalizing. Like, they want to make the case that it was largely the fault if bad psychiatry and that she's basically not culpable. Idk man. A man in the same court room would have a much harder time garnering sympathy. Sorry for going there.

I read a lot of posts where women were apparently feeling like she didn't deserve to be guilty and her husband at the time was more at fault? I understand the concept of empathy but this case is actually nuts. It's also a case of religious lunacy as her and her husband were Christians and she was relieved that her children were in heaven after she killed them.  She met with a chaplain 200 times while in the hospital.

Also homeboy was married to her in 2023 when this happened and now he's already remarried, that seems a bit quick to me lol or am I the only one

I think you're right but pleading insanity is not a get out of jail free card. They still get institutionalized for life. It's basically prison but a bit nicer and you talk to therapists more often.

@Raze This is what I'm talking about when I'm mentioning gaslighting. This is psychological warfare at this point. Yall can laugh and be buthurt  as much as you wish, but I'll make sure I am galaxy away from bitches like these

It's incredibly disrespectful and crass towards the children who died to use the story as a springboard for one's gynocentric culture war. It's not dissimilar to Alex Jones using a school shooting to peddle his conspiracy theories. It's disgusting unhinged behavior.

It's fine to have a discussion about post-partum and shit but it can't be done algorithmically in a gross instrumental fashion (striking while the iron is hot type shit) and the obviously wrong thing must be acknowledged and taken a distance from (don't make the Gaza supporter mistake).

It's not "gynocentrism" or whatever, women obviously will never be actually running anything. I was just pointing out the obvious hidden malice of these particuliar women engaged in these comment sections and making the reaction clips/videos. Just saying this for clarification, yall can say any shit you want
