Ain't it wonderful? Gosh, I wonder if the ACLU will support the Russian immigrant that killed his family too!

Support from the left

Here's an idea for the U.S., why not just deem every murderer a depressive type that needed to have medication and we'll just release everyone that kills back into society? This would save tax payers alot of money, and empty our prisons as well!

Its terrible sometimes, 1 person can ruin a whole families life, and they can get out on medical grounds etc, thats not meant to that one post, its meant at all crimes in general. I say bring back hanging

NOW and ACLU........

Its never the fault of protected "specialty" group members.

Thats ok Im used to it. For example take a look at this. Both me and my sister hav a 4.0 GPA and about same # of credits with similar courses taken in our community college. She got a gushing recruitment letter to the UC system from the UC president, I got squat. Now I love my sister and am vey happy for her, but this new age roadkill specal treatment for women and other "specialty" delightful groups is really going way too far.

I wonder if she even wants to live, can you imagine.. Snapping out of your "depression" or whatever to realize you've just committed such a horrendous act!

Who in the hell could face another day knowing they'd just brutally killed those innocent children? If she wants to die, will these groups honor her wish or state she is still too screwed up, even with meds, to make up her own mind?

Yep, since women and minorities are pretty much on equal ground with the rest of us in most things (and on higher ground on many others), these groups are forced to go to such extremes to justify their existence...

This is the same group that accused Bush of dragging the black man behind the pickup truck too.......................... ....because he refused to enact another "hate" crime. Have to really pity such lost souls and hope further enlightenment of the general population will quickly lead to their dissolution.

You guys are all assuming that her medical condition amd plea of insanity is just a legal ploy.

In reality after-birth depression is quite a common thing. In some unfortunate women it can be so severe as to take the form of psychosis. It does-not happen very often (because this trait is counterproductive to procreation) but sometimes it does and you cannot tell in advance which women will be affected. It may well be your wife or sister or anyone else.

So your speculations are completely groundless. I am sure there a people, including specialists, involved in this who can form better founded opinion. Leave it to them.

That women does not strike me as a regular criminal. She apparently loved her children.
If she wanted to get rid of her children she could have given them up for adoption or arranged some kind of an "accident" like a car falling into the lake or gas leak/explosion etc.
Not everything related to the government/judicial system is a scam, you know.

No, not everything is a scam, except when the ACLU and NOW is involved.

I love it when they say "the Clear Lake mother accused of drowning her five children" ....... the squeak did it! no need to accuse her, she admitted it! they need to atleast change it to "the Clear Lake mother who confessed to drowning her five children."

And furthermore she WAS getting treatment for her depression, and she killed her kids anyway. she also planned it for months! She needs the death penalty, and her husband needs the mental help.

Murder is freaking murder. If I go out get drunk as toejam and run over 20 people whats going to happen? That wench needs to die at the least. Its pathatic how people are always looking to excuse others for thier actions.

Depends if you got drunk as $#@% because you are depressed (temporary insanity)....or just a party dude (bad boy)

Depression is a serious mental illness, I've attempted killing myself - but the thought of killing my child is so repugnant......

Ripsnort · « **Reply #11 on:** August 28, 2001, 11:22:00 AM »

Tried twice (suicide) when I was a teenager, was diagnosed with depression.(I've always said that those who were "serious" about suicide aren't here to tell about it)

I've lived with it, and overcome by bettering myself esteem, doesn't work for everyone, but it worked for me. Drugs just seem to gloss over self-realization, though my bouts of depression are mild compared to my sister, who must be on prozac or she racks up $100,000 credit card bills...

NOW supporting the murder of children? I thought that was one of their founding principles.

ACLU is generally wacko, but consistantly so. They're also defending two deputies fired because of their KKK membership.

About time that people realized that the violence commited by men is a by product of thier nature and they are not to be held accountable for it.
Same as speeding.
And excessive online gaming.
