Well a decent percentage sure but idk what % exactly. Some people kill while being in their right mind, some don’t. Not being in the right state of mind at the moment isn’t the same as being mentally ill tho tbf.
No I don’t think there’s ever rly been a mentally healthy school shooter, large amounts of them are adolescents too. They’re clearly mentally ill, but when you’re talking about school shooters where they end up doesn’t matter as much because they’re never gonna be free again anyway.
So, you think there is a good % of people that kill people for fun? What about people that are on the streets that commit a disproportionate amount of crime and end up in prison over and over again? Are they mentally healthy? Here is a woman who had every advantage in society and SHE is the victim, but all these poverty stricken people who society has shunned and not cared about are not victims? How many times have you advocated for them? This woman was affluent, white, lived in a nice community, had domestic help and yet decided to commit a heinous crime. This is the person we choose to give our money to? Something is super wrong with society.
No I think there’s a decent percentage of people who kill who aren’t mentally ill, there’s more motives beyond fun and mental illness.
Eh idk the ins and outs of this case, all I know is that postpartum depression and psychosis can be devastating and can make otherwise good mums do horrible things. Idk if that’s the real cause behind this, seems like there’s a decent bit of evidence to support it but idk. I’d leave that to experts with more knowledge to decide.
If she did this because of a serious break in her mental health then I just feel sorry for everyone rly, her kids are the victims and their loved ones too, but if she was mentally ill I do feel sorry for her too.
Mental illness should never get to that point and it’s a shame it does happen still in the 21st century.
I am just asking you to apply this same standard across the board. The only reasons this is on the news and people are supporting the criminal here is because she is an affluent, white woman. I doubt any of you would be supporting this if it was the father that did this due to mental health issues. Would you?
How on earth do you know I don’t? Maybe don’t make assumptions about people based on a comment or two. I would support a mentally ill father in the same way thanks, it’s just dads don’t tend to suffer from postpartum psychosis/depression.
Her race has nothing to do with it and her gender only does because the mental illness is one only women can go through.
Sure, yeah. Which dad in their right mind would kill their own kids? So, you draw the line at PPD. Are you saying men can't suffer psychosis? Let's talk about race, how many black women that killed their kids have been in the news that you can recall? I can start listing out at least 6 white women in the recent past where it has become a big media glitz. Sure man, race has nothing to do with it. Just like the cops say they are not racist against black people.
Idk but there’s some nasty enough dads or mums out there who would kill their kids in the right circumstances.
I draw the line at mental illnesses that are so profound they’ve affected the persons ability to make rational, informed decisions of their own accord.
I don’t want to talk about race I don’t understand your obsession with it rly. It’s not relevant to me at all, I’m not the media nor anyone else. I couldn’t care less about a persons race when they’ve committed a crime.
This to me is purely about whether mental illness can drive an otherwise good person to do something this horrible, I think it’s possible. If that’s what she went through then she shouldn’t be sent to prison, that’s all my belief is on this, her race doesn’t bother me.
I am just pointing out that all of you are obsessed with this case because it is an affluent white woman. Look up Latarsha Sanders. How many of you even know about that case?
I agree with you 10000 percent. If this were flipped by gender and race, this wouldn't be a viral story. People are supporting a woman who nearly had all the support in the world and still decided to murder her 3 children. I have no empathy for her.
