Read the whole story and you will have a different view.
This is not a woman who just wanted to dump her kids, as in other stories. This woman had a psychotic depression. If you knew even the slightest about mental illness, you would be able to tell the difference. Also, it is very difficult to get an insanity defence.
But then, 70 years ago we just killed “mental defectives”..maybe you want to go back to that? And it was the PROGRESSIVES who wanted to kill mentally ill people, as well as pushing abortion for “ defectives”.
Don't get me wrong, I believe that some folks do suffer from these illnesses, but in this day and age, (the past 30 years, perhaps), too many criminals have been getting off on legal technicalities because of their so-called mental illness; sorry, FRiend, but murder is murder, it's the taking of another human life, and regardless of the reason, the guilty need to be held accountable and be punished accordingly.
I don't want to kill anyone, I just want justice served.
I don’t believe in affirmative action for psycho-killers
Why give crazy people a pass when they kill five of their own children? Try and execute them same as the regular killers
Anyone who is mentally ill and kills someone should never be out on the street again. There is a big difference between the Kennedys lobotomizing their slightly retarded daughter and locking up someone who killed five people.
Locally, a 17 year old chopped up his grandfather with an ax.
Was the kid mentally ill?
Certainly.
Should he ever walk the streets as a free man?
No.
“But then, 70 years ago we just killed “mental defectives”..”
Wrong, we just killed MURDERERS.
People are more important than a person’s mental state. Something modern “progressives” -such as yourself obviously- do not appreciate.
