Travis Decker killed his three daughters in Washington. He had a severe psychiatric condition stemming from his military service. Even so, his fellow veterans publicly repudiated him and demanded that he answer to justice.
Lindsay Clancy killed her three children in Massachusetts. She was suffering from postpartum depression. A group of feminists raised more than one million dollars for her defense and explained her case in terms of mental health.
Two nearly identical tragedies, two opposite social reactions. What do you think?
