[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like members of Lindsay’s Army of love are here and passionately defending a child murderer. Babies and children can be slaughtered but the opportunity to defend a homely, white, professionally unaccomplished, pill popping and attention seeking failure must never be squandered. The projection is real. [/quote]

Gross, no, and no one is passionately defending her personally in the way that you're suggesting. Repulsive.[/quote]

Yes, they are, vociferously and repeatedly. They’re repulsive.[/quote]

+100. I can only wonder what kind of family life people like PP have. It can’t be good. With all these new details, only the lowest of the low and personality disordered individuals could defend or empathize with this woman. I can’t even type her name, I’m so horrified and disgusted by her acts and that’s as it should be. Society needs to stop normalizing and excusing psychopathic behavior.[/quote]

This stuff revealed in the hearing is very disturbing. But I think people really want to reserve judgment because these murders are just so out of the norm. When Bryan Kohberger was arrested, that made sense - angry jealous stalker type. Once we found out about Chris Watts’ affair, that made sense - enraged husband who wanted a new life. (Though I personally believe he only meant to kill his wife, and only killed the kids because he was temporarily insane and thought they would be better off dead than without a mother).

Here,[b] this just doesn’t make sense. If Lindsay regretted having kids, why not just leave her family?  Why risk life in prison by murdering them?  And if she did decide that murder was the only way, why do it in this manner?  She could’ve at least tried the Susan Smith route. Or a car accident, carbon monoxide poisoning, house fire, etc. Why kill them in a way that directly implicates her?  And people on here are saying that she didn’t really intend to kill herself because she jumped out a window. But she’s paralyzed from the waist down, so I think she did actually want to die. She could’ve just taken a bottle of benedryl if she really want to “pretend”. It just doesn’t make sense!  Either she’s the dumbest killer ever or she really was out of her mind.[/b]

At any rate, some of y’all are way too angry with her. Like the pp who said she’s professionally unaccomplished. Way to crap on an entire group of l&d nurses!  Are they all professionally unaccomplished?!  And she’s not homely. She’s a solid 7, and an 8 in some of her pictures. Of course Ted Bundy was a total smoke show so that doesn’t mean anything… but why go there?  Y’all are weird. [/quote]

I agree with this.  For the people who think she's just a cold-blooded killer, what is the theory for why she did this? [b]Like did she really think her life would be better as a jailed murderer/in a mental institution?[/b] Even if she gets away with no incarceration, she will be notorious all over the country for the rest of her life for killing her children.  People will either hate or pity her.  Especially for someone who seemed to love being admired and thought of as a perfect instagram supermom, it just makes no sense.  [/quote]
She tried to kill herself so I think she thought she'd be dead not in jail/mental institution.[b] Of course you could argue that there are much more effective ways of killing yourself and that her method wasn't that likely to lead to death but she obviously wasn't thinking rationally or logically. She also probably ran out of time, as horrible as that is to say. She realized her husband would be home any minute so in her mind she had to act quickly to try and kill herself before he returned and she got desperate and jumped out a window. Maybe if she had had more time, she would've tried another method that was more likely to lead to her own death.[/b][/quote]

This is actually a good point and could explain why she didn't kill herself effectively enough. While I don't think she had psychosis I do believe she wanted to and expected to die that day. I don't think planned to survive what she did. [/quote]

She locked the bedroom door, make a few superficial cuts while looking at herself in the mirror (that had dried/stopped actively bleeding by the time her husband found her), and then jumped out the window. She's a nurse. If she wanted to die by suicide, why didn't she cut a major artery?[/quote]

Look, I'm not one of her defenders and I think she belongs in jail. But why would she want to live? [/quote]

Shrug. I agree w/ you, I wouldn't want to live, either. I just don't think she really wanted to die - otherwise she could've effectively done that.[/quote]
