This sounds like Nazi Germany mentality brewing - at this rate some day we'll just give the needle to all mentally ill folks and put them all out of their misery. This attitude being displayed here is quite disconcerting, to say the least.
And no I'm NOT a liberal by any means - just someone who can think for myself and sees that if this woman was NOT mentally ill and delusional she would NEVER have killed her kids. She also would not have killed her kids had she been taken away from them and given the sort of care she needed as should have been done in the first place.
To me, Rusty is more the equivalent of a cold-blooded killer than Andrea. Andrea spent her entire life putting other people's needs before her own - they said that as a kid and teen she was the one in the neighborhood who would go around and take care of the elderly living nearby. There was no one who disliked her, or had anything bad to say about her (prior to the murders, of course). Doesn't sound like the definition of a "cold-blooded" murderer in the making to me. Just someone who most unfortunately developed severe mental illness which impaired her ability to think right, which caused her to commit this horrifying evil act.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Andrea is NO Susan Smith. And if Susan had 6 kids she would have killed 6 kids in COLD BLOOD as she killed her two. There is NO excuse for Susan Smith. SHE is a disgusting cold-blooded murderer. SHE was NOT mentally ill.
Andrea knew it was against the law, but in her mind the "reality" was that it was the "best" thing to do for her children and thus was more than willing to pay the price. Susan, however, did it for her own selfish disgusting reasons, and then lied about it. I have no sympathy for the likes of Susan, but Andrea is severely mentally ill plain and simple. Big difference. Huge.
