A Travesty Of Justice

Andrea Yates was found not guilty of murdering her children.

It is a travesty of justice.

I am sickened beyond words.

She was tried on only three counts of murder, so I hope they go back and nail her on the other two. Hospitalization is insufficient -- and I would argue that prison doesn't constitute justice, either. If she does not merit an IV in the death chamber, no one does.

1 So someone who isn't morally culpable for a murder should be executed for it anyway? What utter vile creeps you republicunts are! Enjoy HELL!-whovian222@msn.com

2 As a resident of the same community in which Andrea Yates committed her horrific crime, I do not accept the notion that she is not morally culpable for the murders she committed. 

The rest of the cases need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, with Yates to be executed immediately upon the completion of the trial.

3 "As a resident of the same community in which Andrea Yates committed her horrific crime, I do not accept the notion that she is not morally culpable for the murders she committed."

Gee why? You've done nothing but assert that this is the right position to take. Why do you believe this?

Gee why? I don't think you have it in you to do anything but assert positions with out being able to articulate as to why you hold them!

4 Gee, it's been six months have you come up with coherent argument why extreme mental illness isn't a defense? Can't wait to hear it, you've had plenty of time to formulate it. I bet it'll be a whopper! More likely though, you'll just continue to believe what you want to believe and be unable to defend it in any well reasoned ideas'. -whovian222@msn.com

5 No, Chris, I just don't consider you to be worth the trouble of engaging. After all, someone who pops onto my site telling em to enjoy Hell is clearly incapable of anything approaching cogent argumentation.

6 Well, instead of "approaching cogent argumentation" yourself you simple wimp out and end the argument. Just like a republican! Continue to believe what ever you want ! You simply don't have the intelligence to care !

7 No, I've got both the intelligence and the expertise to care and comment -- but lack the respect for you to be bothered by reopening a thread that has been dead for over six months -- and never actually had an outside commenter worthy of engagement to begin with.

8 Chris - While I probably share your perspective on mental illness as a defense, RWR is right about your expectation of a discussion. It takes a peculiar sense of entitlement to wander into his blog, hurling insults and profanity, and yet expect to be given the respect of a logical and thoughtful answer. It takes time and attention to respond to commenters, and some people just don't warrant that time and attention. Your tone has deprived you of the conversation you may have been seeking. I criticize RWR's opinions regularly, and, when he really hits my hot buttons, I've probably been rude and insulting. But it would never occur to me to expect a courteous and thoughtful response if I buried my questions and analysis under a heap of abuse, the way you did.

9 "No, I've got both the intelligence and the expertise to care and comment -- but lack the respect for you to be bothered by reopening a thread that has been dead for over six months -- and never actually had an outside commenter worthy of engagement to begin with." You certainly are a right wing coward! Slick back into you hole and enjoy the company of the other snakes! And enjoy hell!

10 You certainly are a left-wing moron -- why don't you SLINK (that was the word you were after, wasn't it) back to Dimwit Underground, Los or HuffPo. As for hell, I won't be there, but Yates will be -- rooming, I hope, with the evil bastard who shot up Virginia Tech. But then again, if he hadn't offed himself on Monday I bet you would be defending him like you are this child-killing bitch.

As for the ass-hole who shot up the college I personally don't think the two cases are similar. Enjoy being a vile right wing loon and have fun in the lake of fire!

12 Hey, I believe in the insanity defense -- I just don't think Yates qualified under it. And I simply think you lack the courage to stand up for your own convictions in your refusal to defend Cho -- maybe you are just afraid of allowing the world to see what a moral moron you really are.

13 “And I simply think you lack the courage to stand up for your own convictions in your refusal to defend Cho -- maybe you are just afraid of allowing the world to see what a moral moron you really are.” What “courage of my convictions” would that be? I don't believe that being depressed and really angry is enough of a mental defect to qualify as “legally insane “ under The M'Naghten rules. Since Cho doesn't seemed to have suffered from psychosis or have been acting under irresistible impulse he would still be responsible for what he did. Adrea Yates on the other hand was suffering from psychosis and seem to be very out of contact with reality. Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt that a right wing creep like you would be able to figure that one out!

14 Well, Chris, Cho certainly sounds out of contact with reality to me! maybe, though, you and he live in the same reality.

Posted by: Rhymes With Right at Thu Apr 19 11:50:32 2007 (W540E)

15 Well,he was not out of contact with reality in the sense of not understanding that what he was doing would be precieved as wrong. Work on your arguments instead of your insults!

16 Interestingly enough, there is plenty of evidence out there that Yates knew right from wrong at the time she murdered her kids. So what is the difference?

Posted by: Rhymes With Right at Wed Apr 25 12:27:55 2007 (jdzjw)

17 Present it then!

Posted by: Chris mankey at Wed Apr 25 19:32:21 2007 (7aAcY)

18 Are you thinking long and hard about what I said or are you just incapable of providing a response?

Posted by: Chris mankey at Mon Apr 30 05:15:34 2007 (7aAcY)

19 Just ignoring a troll who seems to be a one-trick pony commenting on the same issue all over the internet. You simply are not worth the time or effort to bother with -- sort of like 9/11 Truthers or Holocaust deniers.

Posted by: Rhymes With Right at Mon Apr 30 09:12:19 2007 (j/lZT)

20 I simply asked you to present evidence that Andrea Yates was sane when she committed those murders. I don't know why asking you to present that evidence is the same as pretending that someone blew up the world trade centers with explosives or claiming the holocaust never happen, but maybe you can tell why you came to such a bizarre conclusion. I don't recall commenting "All over the internet" on this, but since you seem a bit out of contact with reality. Thanks for presenting your convincing case against the insanity defense in the case of Andrea yates. Maybe you should go look for Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq next. I'm sure they're there! Hurry or the answer may come in the form of a mushroom cloud! -Chris Mankey whovian222@msn.com

21 I know of this Chris Mankey troll - his resume had been forwarded to my company a while back and we did a basic background search of his name on the Internet. We found some amazing stuff with Mankey's name associated. This guy is almost 40 years old, and yet he acts the way he does. I find it ironic that Mankey is demanding an articulate argument from others here, when he is obviously incapable of formulating one on his own. Do a Google search of "christopher mankey" and you will find countless troll comments scattered throughout various sites. Not one of those comments will offer an intelligent argument or anything based on reasoning skills; rather, just some childish rants peppered with profanities and simple name-calling. My 14-year old son could outwit this simpleton. Mankey obviously wants to make a name for himself on the Internet. Pretty pathetic for a middle-aged man. He probably lives at home with his mother. Call him up and find out: 651-774-1935.
