Jury says teen in Slenderman stabbing attack was mentally ill

Last month, Anissa Weier, 15, had pleaded guilty to attempted second-degree homicide due to mental illness or defect in the stabbing as part of a plea agreement. A jury trial on her case, which began Monday, was set to determine whether Weier was mentally ill when she committed the crime.

A total of 10 out of 12 jurors agreed on Friday that Weier had a mental disorder when she and her classmate Morgan Geyser stabbed their sixth-grade classmate 19 times. The girls were allegedly trying to please the fictional internet bogeyman Slenderman.

The girls, who were 12-years-old at the time, were charged with attempted murder and both have been tried as adults.

Waukesha County Circuit Judge Michael Bohren said Weier will be committed to a mental institution. If the jury had found her guilty, she could have gone to prison for 10 years.

From your post, I would have to surmise you're more familiar with the case than am I. I only remember when the killings happened, and googling a little bit to see what was up with this, "slender man" phenomena.

No doubt the little monster is mentally ill, but I can't help but think there were demonic forces at work here; in my mind, spiritual health and mental health are very closely intertwined, and just as drug addiction and alcoholism can leave one weakened to demonic intervention, I would have to thin the forces of evil would be willing to exploit mental (or physical) weaknesses as well. In our nihilist culture, we leave a vacuum of the type that nature abhors, and even if this "slender man" was a complete invention of this girl's imagination, I could easily a dark spirit willing to step in and make it a little more real. Just my $0.02.

Rom 1:25-26

25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator — who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.

psy·cho·sis

sīˈkōsəs/

noun

a severe mental disorder in which thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external reality.

"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.

It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.

The first stage being "demoralization". It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.

Most of the activity of the department [KGB] was to compile huge amount / volume of information, on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion. Publisher, editors, journalists, uh actors, educationalists, professors of political science. Members of parliament, representatives of business circles.

Most of these people were divided roughly into two groups: those who would tow the Soviet foreign policy, they would be promoted to positions of power through media and public manipulation; [and] those who refuse the Soviet influence in their own country would be character assassinated OR executed physically, come Revolution.
