Is The Response More Significant Than The Trial?

Posted on by

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.

The Verdict Should Be Obvious

I realize that in America you are innocent until proven guilty, but what happens when your crime is filmed by security cameras? We may be about to find out.

On December 4, 2024, Brian Thompson, the CEO of United HeathCare was shot and killed in Manhattan. Luigi Mangione was arrested for the crime and is currently on trial in New York City.

On Monday, The New York Post reported:

Jurors at Luigi Mangione’s murder trial will get to see the 3D-printed pistol and alleged “manifesto” found inside his backpack, a judge ruled Monday — handing prosecutors a key legal win.

Altoona, Pa. cops followed appropriate legal protocol when searching the accused assassin’s bag at the police station after nabbing him for the December 2024 execution of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Gregory Carro found.

The weapon was discovered inside the 28-year-old Mangione’s bag after his arrest at an Altoona McDonald’s, which followed a dramatic five-day manhunt.

Prosecutors will also be able to show Mangione’s journal, in which the University of Pennsylvania grad mused about killing the “greedy” CEO to denounce an industry that “extracts human life force for money.”

But Carro separately blocked other evidence — including a loaded magazine, Mangione’s wallet and passport and a computer chip hidden inside a cardboard sleeve — that police obtained from Mangione’s bag before getting a warrant.

Police breached Mangione’s rights by searching the knapsack without a warrant even though it was outside of the accused killer’s reach — where officers did not need to search it to protect themselves or the public, the judge found.

“I find that the search of the backpack at the McDonald’s was an improper warrantless search,” the judge said from the bench as Mangione sat at the defense table, handcuffed and wearing a blue suit, during a brief hearing in Manhattan Supreme Court.

The article notes the comments of the Mangione supporters outside the courtroom:

Several supporters proudly displayed press badges granted to them by the New York City Mayor’s Office — and were not shy in expressing their admiration for the accused killer.

“I’m saying f–k Brian Thompson. I don’t give a flying f–k he died,” Ashley Rojas, one such city-accredited “press” member, told reporters outside the courthouse.

Their comments are frightening. What ever happened to respect for life?

The Case Is Falling Apart In A Trial That Should Never Have Happened

On Sunday, The New York Post posted an article about the murder trial of Daniel Penny that is taking place in New York. As you remember, Daniel Penny is being tried for the subway murder of Jordan Neely in May 2023.

The article reports:

On Friday, the defense rested in the Daniel Penny trial, leaving many observers to ask what Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg was thinking in pursuing this case.

Over the course of the second-degree manslaughter trial, Bragg’s prosecutors tried to sell the narrative that the Marine vet overreacted and behaved “recklessly” when he restrained Jordan Neely on that F train back in May 2023.

But a host of prosecution witnesses, Penny’s fellow passengers, knocked massive holes in that tale, as one after another veteran subway rider described how terror-stricken they felt while trapped in the train car with the angry, unstable, threatening Neely.

One woman said she “was scared s–tless” by Neely’s behavior and recalled him yelling: “I don’t give a damn. I will kill a motherf—er. I’m ready to die.”

She stuck around after the ordeal to thank Penny for defending her and everyone else in the car that day.

Another, a high school student, said she was “so nervous” that she feared she “was going to pass out,” and said she didn’t hear other passengers’ warning to Penny to let go of Neely during the struggle.

The article concludes:

Closing arguments begin Dec. 2; it’s hard to think the jury will need to deliberate long.

It’s Bragg and his team who’ll have to put in time figuring out why they took such a weak case to trial.

There are some real questions in my mind as to how New York is making decisions regarding who to let off for crimes committed and who to put on trial. It seems to me that Daniel Penny is the least of New York’s worries as far as criminals are concerned.
