I don't think she should have been executed. I'm all for the death penalty.

I worked at ESL when Richard Farley came in and killed 7 of my co-workers. He planned the action for months. He rented an RV and filled it with guns and ammunition, and then he came to my work and shot and killed my co-workers. Richard Farley was not crazy at the time, and he got the death penalty (which unfortunately has not been carried out yet and it's been over 15 years). I think it is justified.

Anyway, I think Andrea Yates cracked up and killed her kids. She was in and out of mental institutions, and she never should have been left alone with the children. I think the husband is as guilty as her for leaving the kids alone with her.

However, I think that when a crazy person (Yates and the guy who shot Reagan) commits a major crime I do not think they should be set free. At the very least, they should be incarcerated for the rest of their lives in a mental institution. What happens to these people if they stop taking their medications?

When you’re a woman and you get in trouble, the most importing thing to do is find a man to blame.

I swear the single most defining feminine trait is the inability to accept responsibility for one’s actions.

She chased down her FIVE CHILDREN and drowned them ONE BY ONE over their pleas for mercy and cries of protestation.

If a man had done this, the only thing we’d be talking about is what tree to hang him from.

Ohhhh ohhh Mr. Kotter! Mr. Kotter!

Sorry, they need to be institutionalized....and unlike in the movies...

They aren't Hannibal Lechter nor are they Rainman.

They're more like a cross between Slingblade and Caspar the Ghost. If that makes sense.
