This article discusses gruesome facts about a triple murder.

The attorney for "Massachusetts mom" Lindsay Clancy admits she strangled her three young children to death with exercise bands, according to CBS News. Yet he argues she shouldn't be held responsible for this demonically evil choice because "she was overmedicated for mental health issues and was suffering from extreme postpartum psychosis."

The children were 5, 3, and 8 months old at the time of their painful deaths.

A rash of social media postings indicates Clancy is not the only dangerous psychopath roaming about. Numerous women have taken to their accounts to claim Clancy should not be held responsible and to accuse her husband of the murders. Clancy's sympathizers have raised nearly $1 million as of this writing to defend a woman whose attorney admits she is a child murderer.

"She knows that she killed those children," defense attorney Kevin Reddington testified at the start of the trial. Yet he argues she shouldn't be held responsible because she suffered postpartum anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation, according to court testimony.

One stupid response to this from people who either have no experience with women, let alone pregnancy, or are mentally broken in some way is to claim some variant of "postpartum depression is fake." It's true that, as social rewards for playing the victim have risen in our Marxist culture, people have increasingly sought to label themselves whatever victim status they can claim, including adopting mental disorders.

Despite such victim status inflation, however, it remains true that motherhood is a massive emotional and physical endeavor, from the second the pregnancy test reveals that blue line to the moment a mother dies. It's the mothers with the least support and worst sleep (which are correlated) who are most likely to feel blue. This is real, as every mother can tell you.

Further, the defense and prosecutors in Clancy's case have agreed and admitted evidence that Clancy had tried multiple kinds of mood medications, some of which have side effects that can include worsened depression and suicidal thoughts. It's clear Clancy was mentally unwell.

The existence of mood disorders such as anxiety or postpartum depression, however, is zero excuse for murder. Billions of women have given birth in human history, many if not most have struggled mentally and physically afterward, and almost none have ever murdered their children as a result. If having a baby pardons murder, be back in a bit, I've got some enemies to off with my "I had a baby so I get out of jail free" card.

Hundreds of millions of people in human history have endured famines, war, loss of family, and other devastating tragedies without strangling their own kids over it. If we start excusing people for choosing to do wrong in response to wrongs done to them, say goodbye to your society right now, because we all have grievances. Some of us choose to respond prudently, and some wickedly. The prudent should be rewarded, and the wicked punished. This is very simple, and that it's even a public debate is terrifying.

Humans must be held responsible for our choices, even when made under pain or duress, or we will only make everything much worse for everyone. Self-restraint and appropriate responses to discomfort are the mark of every functioning society. When that breaks down, we live in anarchy. In anarchy, everyone suffers more than in societies where we repress our evil feelings for the greater good. Yes, I said "repress." Some forms of repression are not only healthy but required for social order, which protects us all.

Further, even if Clancy were fully psychotic (or demon-possessed?) such that she could not understand the moral implications of her actions in any way, she needs to be executed. There are plenty of mentally ill people in our society, and very few commit murder. Those who do should be summarily executed precisely because of the danger they pose to innocents such as the Clancy children. If you can't understand that it's evil to kill children, you are a mortal danger to the innocent and therefore not fit to live in a just society.

Far more frightening than a woman doing something horribly evil due to a potential psychotic break are public attempts to legitimize and excuse this behavior. I'm not just talking about the toxic femininity Cluster B klatch excusing Clancy on Instagram and TikTok.

I'm talking about the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court and many below it for decades have made it nigh on impossible to execute murderers and child abusers. I'm talking about the fact that judges like Teresa Stokes repeatedly give light or no sentences to chronically violent criminals, who often go on to commit murders like Iryna Zarutska's stabbing in North Carolina last year. I'm talking about the law schools, nearly all of which teach future judges, lawyers, and prosecutors to go easy on all criminals because higher proportions are black and brown.

The social media "true crime" wackos have nothing on the chronic and systemic denial of justice to Americans at the behest of Marxist ideology. It is perpetuated by Republicans and Democrats alike against we the little people, who can no longer afford to price ourselves out of the disorder-ridden neighborhoods our lawmakers won't deign to police with the taxes we pay.

We can go to jail for not paying our taxes, but many criminals pay hardly anything for threatening our children with trespassing, vagrancy, theft, panhandling, and even escalations to higher forms of violence. Murderers, the worst of the worst, get a tax-provided bed, workout station, and meals for the rest of their lives when what they really deserve is swift death. This is gross injustice, as it privileges the evil above the good.

Like the toxic TikTok housewives, lawmakers of both parties are comfortable expressing empathy for criminals and uncomfortable fulfilling what the Founding Fathers believed was a just government's chief duty: ensuring that law-abiding citizens are protected from predators like vagrants, thieves, murderers, rapists, and gangs. The real problem is when the morals of the ruling class are exactly the same as the psycho-defending social Marxism of wine mom Instagram.
