In Plymouth, Massachusetts the trial of Lindsay Clancy has been going on for about a month. Lindsay Clancy is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the 2023 deaths of her children. The defense is claiming that postpartum psychosis caused her to kill the children. I am not unsympathetic to postpartum mental issues, but three children are dead.
On Friday, Zero Hedge reported:
A mob of liberal women decked out in pink is taking to the streets in front of the Plymouth Superior Courthouse in Plymouth, Massachusetts for a rally in support of Lindsay Clancy during her ongoing murder trial. The group, which is often accused of being “terminally online”, has been invading social media discussions for weeks to inject arguments in defense of Clancy, who confessed to the murder of her three helpless children.
Now, these women (and a few beta husbands) are going offline and showing up en masse to explain why Lindsay Clancy should go free.
She has confessed to the murders. She was on numerous drugs that were supposed to help her with her mental issues. She had reached out to family members and the medical community screaming for help. She bears sole responsibility for the murders, but how many trained professionals and others failed her along the way?
I do not want to see Lindsay Clancy go free. I want her either in a mental institution or in jail. There are three dead children as a result of her decisions whether or not she was in her right mind when she made those decisions. Do we value the lives of those children?
Jail may not be the right place–a mental institution might be. I do not want Lindsay Clancy to be living a normal life after this crime.
The article notes:
The postpartum argument is held up as if it is proof of innocence, but in reality, it suggests that the person is even more dangerous than a typical criminal. If an otherwise unassuming woman has the ability to appear absolutely normal and insinuate herself into the lives of others, only to become a bloodthirsty murderer of children at the flip of a switch, then she can never be trusted to enter back into society ever again. She can never be trusted to have children or go near children again.
The punishment should be more severe, not less. This is why America used to have a large network of mental hospitals, to keep people like this locked away for good. Instead, liberal ideology has created an environment in which criminals with the right identity are treated with more empathy than their victims.
If this continues for much longer, it will mean the downfall of western civilization.
The Lindsay Clancy trial has also become another focal point for what many now call a “plague” on the internet: Amateur Detective Wine-Moms (ADWMs).
Conspiracy theories on social media, spread by these same women, assert that Lindsay Clancy is actually a “patsy” and that her husband is the killer. Even though numerous pieces of evidence including surveillance footage and cell phone tracking shows Clancy’s husband at a local CVS pharmacy at the time of the murder, these women have read hundreds of true crime novels and think they are better investigators than the authorities involved.
It will be interesting to see what the verdict on this trial is.
