The question of whether ‘strangling kids is OK’ was not on trial or before the jury.
Sometimes The Bee is fun; but sometimes it’s just stupid.
“Sometimes The Bee is fun; but sometimes it’s just stupid.”
Drawing that conclusion from reading that little piece of satire means sometimes you are stupid.
Sometimes satire is meant to highlight stupid.
It would be funny but it is an absolutely incomprehensible horror for these kids, who watched their mother kill their sibling, or two of their siblings, and then, himself, where he was beyond horrified, beyond mortified... then dead.
Can't imagine it. Too unspeakable.
But the murderess received a phone call from her husband while in the midst of this. Fielded it well enought that he did not immediately scramble the police.
So awful. And not insane enough to satisfy me.
The Bee is right on the money. There is no possible excuse for this. And, yes, the question of whether it is ok to strangle your kids is the question before the jury. Don’t try to minimize what she did. She murdered her children. She needs the maximum sentence. End of story.
