Mother cuts off baby's arms!!

[mr niceguy]

I'm not a psychiatrist, but I work for one. I think y'all are confusing "evil" with "psychosis". Post-partum psychosis is worse than your basic post-partum depression, but both are very real. Clearly this woman was in a psychotic state. (A quick listen to the 911 tape makes that obvious.)

Does that mean we should give her a big hug and send her on her merry way? Of course not! I agree with the concept of "guilty by reason of insanity" (credit to Bill Maher for that one). Whether found innocent or guilty, she needs to be subjected to heavy psychiatric treatment, completely separated from the rest of humanity for a very long time, if not forever.

What is "evil" anyway? A guy who stalks and harms a woman he barely knows has to have some screwed-up brain chemistry to be in that state. That's not an "excuse", but it's a "reason".

This just in...Schlosser case ruled a mistrial.  Between this and the whole port authority fiasco, I'm thinking that the apocalypse must be imminent.

Maybe someone should contact Jackson Katz and ask him what expanation he can come up with to blame this crime on men, since he goes around preaching that violence is the fault of all men.  This crime really underscores how someone who would go around preaching such stuff really appears to be in dire need of serious mental health care.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth... True justice would be cutting her arms off and beating her to death with them.  :ouch:

If this were a man, Trash Wilson would have her freshly sharpened burdizzo in hand while she shouts man hatred from the courthouse steps.

All citizens should be treated EQUALLY under the law, as dictated by every free country in the world.
