[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a Clancy “Stan”, but I do feel sympathy toward her. Its not because I secretly also want to kill my kids. It might be due to unconscious bias, as I am also white and a professional. And if so, that’s something I need to acknowledge and actively work against in the future. But what I think what it is, is that for us sympathizers, we love our kids so much and cannot in a million years imagine killing them, so we assume that Clancy - perhaps because she looks like us? Has a similar lifestyle to us? - must have had something so crazy wrong with her brain for a [b]brief moment[/b] because surely she wouldn’t do this on purpose. Just my two cents. I appreciate everyone’s differing perspectives. Three innocent lives lost, let’s hope some new knowledge / understanding about mental health and social media and unconscious bias comes out of this mess. [/quote] Not really all that brief. [/quote]
