This is genuinely one of most ridiculously simplified and stupid takes on this case and that’s saying something considering how bad some of the takes are.

People aren’t genuinely arguing for a get out of jail free card, they’re trying to raise awareness about something that affects a minute amount of people but leads to something devastating. And those that are, are the minority and not worth listening to.

Thousands of people have mental illnesses and are not going to kill their children. A minute amount of people suffer a form of psychosis, which is levels above just mental illness.

Two uncomfortable truths can occur simultaneously. She did an unforgivable thing and should suffer some form of punishment but ignoring the ‘why’ only condemns us to witness this situation again in a few years.so many people aren’t approaching this with any degree of good faith and are using to score simple political points.

Right. People really aren’t able to participate in nuanced discussion of difficult topics.

Black and white thinking is a sign of lower intelligence, like how children think. Nuanced thinking is a hallmark of adulthood

I think it’s because the level of intelligence has gone down in the US. What, on average US adults read at a 5th grade level or something?

It’s incredible how many times I’ve gotten in a Reddit argument this week about this case, where a man jumps in and says something like “she’s a murderer!! What’s wrong with you!!!” When I point out the complexities legally with this case.

Murder = bad.

LEVEL UP!

/s

Nuanced conversation is a lost art in today’s world. At least in the US.

LOL. You say that when the women who support this clown of a woman are only supporting her because she is the same gender as them. That is literally black-and-white thinking. At the very least, it's blind tribalism, which is also stupid. People have already stated this argument to death. Had she killed puppies/kittens, no way in hell would women have supported her with a million bucks for her legal defense.

AND if she'd have Killed herself, guarunteed not a single person/woman would care two weeks later. I'll say it flat out, she admitted to doing what she did and she IS Guilty of Murder. period. whatever the judge does now is up to him and the evidence beyond the bodies, but if she is let go with a slap on the wrist, then that may just become a serious problem itself.

Sure they can.

But there is a known contingent that is vehemently opposed to any discussion that can possibly increase entitlement spending on "silly" stuff like mental illness. So the muddy the water and toss it into the culture wars.

Care to guess?

You're right Clancys attorney shouldn't do that by saying the junior who held out is bigoted agisnt women.

u/420thefunnynumber Sep 04 '26

The judge on the case is rightfully giving the juror shit for not abiding by the law.

2

u/_le_slap Sep 04 '26

It was a single juror? Wow... I guess that means odds she is retried are slim?

u/Rusteddino Sep 04 '26

Yeah the prosecution would be smart to do a plea deal instead. You never know though.

Yall aren't ready to hear what the best thing to do to avoid child molestation or pedocriminal stuff is. The USA is entrenched in a desire to punish and not prevent. For some reason.

u/stephanonymous Sep 04 '26

This also goes for infant in hot car deaths.

u/Cheeky-Wizard Sep 05 '26

Well, now I want to hear what the best thing is.

He won't tell you.

She killed three kids. If a man did this, they would have already sent him to prison without parole and would have condemned his name for the rest of history. This lady is going to make women into a joke, where gals are going to pull the Lindsay Clancy card whenever they have an emotional problem.

If a drunken driver kills someone, they should be punished. She had an "episode" (and she had many chances for fucking help), took her kids one by one to strangle them (and let's not overlook the evidence that she was looking up ways to do this shit and to get rid of her husband).

But you know.

u/defunkman Sep 05 '26

it already JUST Happened in My state ! A woman killed her toddler and was currently watching/researching the Clancy case herself. it's on the news right now. Look up "https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/illinois-mother-charged-murder-killing-2-year-old-attempting-harm-rcna596197

Criminalization of Pedophilia is slowly eroding and becoming more and more a slap on the wrist offense (unless you're jailed and Not in protective custody) then you might become a target/victim by other inmates who hate those who harm children. Honestly, I think punishment is weak today and should be far far greater. "you harm a child knowingly ? you get the bone !" There's No help for a repeat child sex offender, buddy. Many of them who do go to prison get sent to protective custody or in some program and then are released a few months of their sentences. that will not teach them NOT to reoffend, but I can tell you what will... Way harsher Punishment. Try 25 years to Life for a first offense, Death for second offense.

There's literally a manhunt on for a 14-year-old who gave birth on the side of the road to her father's child. The baby didn't make it. They're calling her a murderer. But she's a minor, she can't drive, and she's probably in need of medical attention and has no control of her own whereabouts because the father has her. And now because they're treating her as the criminal, she's not likely to seek help for herself. Make it make sense!

u/defunkman Sep 06 '26

I think every pedo deserves death IMO. but that's just me and the vast majority. That girl doesn't deserve to suffer like that and whoever is calling a little girl a murderer is a real cocksucker. it's not her fault her father is an evil pervert rapist.

u/Unknown-History Sep 04 '26

People are, but the owners of media are constantly trying to sabotage it and are very good at getting people to repeat the lack of nuance

u/PUNCH-WAS-SERVED Sep 05 '26

LOL. You say that when people threw a million bucks at this woman for killing her kids "to raise awareness." Gotta love those women who had their women standing outside the courtroom. Hey, kids, look. She strangled her kids!
