Jesus Christ, I read the wikipedia page and this meme is fucking awful
Comment on Which is worse: not wanting kids, or wanting them too much?
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 3 weeks agoShe had a severe case of postpartum psychoses and killed her kids. Went to trial and was found not guilty by every juror except a woman hating wife beater even though he admitted to having reasonable doubt, which lead to a mistrail.
It’s a very shitty meme that makes fun of a woman’s tragedy.

you are listening to misinformation, the woman in the juror went on a SJW crusade to get her freed, because they felt “Woman needs to be not the same as men”

Allegedly killed her kids

She admitted to it, the question is whether she is criminally responsible or if her postpartum psychosis constitutes mitigating circumstances.
CannonFodder@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
She may have lied when she ‘admitted it’. She hasn’t been found guilty in a court of law. It’s still only ‘allegedly’.
calcopiritus@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
She admitted it in court.
Not being for guilty for it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
If you’re at a carnival where one of the games is throwing axes at a board. And somehow a child suddenly teleported in front of the board after throwing the axe, you might not be guilty for it. But you still killed the kid.

Definitely killed her kids. Allegedly insane enough to not be able to be found guilty (which would still wind up with her locked up). And it was the state’s burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she was sane enough to be found guilty. That’s what the jury needed to deliberate and come to a consensus on, but didn’t quite.

Lmao The case is well documented. She wasn’t in psychosis. She went on the phone mid murder spree like everything was all right. Put her in a jail and throw the key

A woman’s tragedy? The fuck? She strangled her three children to death. I don’t give a shit what circumstances led to it. The tragedy is the kids who were murdered and everyone who knew and loved them.
It’s terrible that she couldn’t get the help she needed. That doesn’t make her the victim.

Not the victim, but a victim for sure

If you had a heart attack while driving and so got into an accident and your children in the car were killed but you survived, are you a victim?
Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
If you were having a heart attack and deliberately accelerated and aimed your car at a group of people on the sidewalk, then you are both the victim of a heart attack and a murderer.
Mental illness should affect where you are incarcerated and the type of treatment you get, but it doesn’t mean that you get a free pass.
The US’s handling of incarcerated people, especially the mentally ill, is gross and malicious, but this is the choice that the voters have made. That desperately needs to be fixed, but setting a murderer free is not helping.
Also, it’s really grotesque that stealing to feed your children, or sneaking across borders to give them a better life is worthy of jail time if you aren’t white, but if you are white then premeditated murder of your own children makes you a hero.
CannonFodder@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
No. That’s entirely not the point. If you have a heart attack and so your body forces you to fall unconscious and so you get in an accident and kill your children, are you guilty? Obviously you need medical attention and cannot be allowed to drive while there is any significant chance that you might do it again.
Nobody is suggesting that this woman should be set free - she needs to be in a secure mental treatment facility until she is safe to be in society - and possibly that will never happen.
This has nothing to do with those other issues or skin color. It is about mental health, women’s support and post partum care.
If you can’t wrap your head around the mental illness cause part because you have no empathy or ability to understand things you haven’t experienced, maybe think about how one’s mind can be altered with drugs/alchohol, or how hypnotism can make people do complex weird things. Our brains are a very complex chemical system and can get out of whack causing surprising results. Post partum mental illness is much more common than most people believe because of the stigma and covering it up. It needs a lot more understanding and accommodation - that recognition and support would help avoid such tragedies as this case. Your inability to understand and empathize will only make things worse.

What the actual fuck is this comparison? And even if thus happened to me my first thought wouldn’t be how do I get out of this wile destroying my husband’s life even more.
