I said nothing about her being a “poor thing”. And recognizing mental illness isn’t letting the criminally mentally ill escape consequences. The differences is that I want them in custodial treatment and you, apparently, want them dead. There’s nothing humane about wishing for the death of people because they’re a danger to others and themselves. It’s that kind of fire-and-brimstone rhetoric that resulted in my country in general and my state in particular winding up with system of punitive criminal justice built on state sanctioned torture and murder.
