[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How sad to have a life, a pretty nice life it seems, and for it to vanish in a blink. I feel so terrible for the grandparents and extended family and friends too. How tragic the whole thing. So many lives destroyed. [/quote]
I feel bad for her, too.[/quote]

I feel bad for Cora, Dawson, and Callan.  [/quote]

We truly lack understanding of severe mental illness.[/quote]

Weird response. 
We hold others accountable when they do bad things and are mentally ill. Why would she be the exception?[/quote]
I have been saying this from the beginning, was Jeffrey Dahmer mentally stable? Ted Bundy? What about most of the school shooters, were they all stable mentally? No, as a matter of fact many of them were also on psych meds, like Lindsay, but we crucified these young mentally ill kids. How about all the other potentially mentally ill mothers who killed their kids who are now serving life sentences in general pop prisons? What about them? We gotta stop with the #iamlindsay crap, no, no you are not. Like school shootings, we’re going to end up with copycat crimes thanks to the media coverage and the misplaced empathy. If we as a society have never related to, or empathized with murderers, even mentally ill ones, we aren’t going to start now. Hell no. [/quote]

Jeffrey Dahmer was a serial killer who embalmed and disemboweled people and hid them in his freezer. He had a long history of asocial and frightening behavior. This woman was a highly esteemed labor nurse with no criminal record. Postpartum psychosis is real.[/quote]

She murdered a baby. The fact that you’re holding her up as “but she’s not as bad as Dahmer!” would be laughable if it weren’t so disgusting.[/quote]

I'm sorry, but PPD is not "disgusting." It's a devastating diagnosis and worlds away from Dahmer.[/quote]

DP. Strangling a defenseless infant with an exercise band is disgusting. Full stop.[/quote]

Of course it is. But if you have PPD and are [b]in psychosis, you aren't aware of what you're doing is the point[/b]. [/quote]Neither are many men that go on shooting sprees or run crowds over. But people are more than willing to burn those people at the stake. Lindsey should be as well. [/quote]

Part of the problem with mass shooters is access to weapons they can gun down dozens of people in seconds. Women with postpartum psychosis aren’t walking into an elementary school with an AR-15. both instances are indicative of a mental health crisis. Only one is indicative of access to weapons that should be illegal. [/quote]
The same sympathy should be had for all with mental illness who commit murder.[/quote]
