And Liberals Probably Want her to only be in prison for a few years

[Lewkowski]

I'm not talking about laws, state or federal, or success/ failure rates of mental health treatment. Do you agree it would be better if this person became a contributing member of society instead of a long-term prison inmate? Do you agree giving her the chance is the Christian thing to do?

Can you say "if the mental health treatment has a reasonable chance of succeeding, it should be the first course of action instead of long term imprisonment?"

Furthermore, since the baby was never actually poisoned, is there a real crime here? Did they find a baby bottle filled with makeshift-poison-spiked milk? From what you posted, it isn't clear any action was taken beyond the sending of some crazy-ass texts. Have you considered that?

Article is poorly worded but the grandmother found the tainted milk. Doesn't specifically say if the police tested it and it was the concoction but I think it is likely.

Also as I've mentioned before on the board - either you want a theocracy or you don't. I personally don't - so what judiciary and our laws do should be independent as to what the Christian thing to do is.

I also am annoyed that people always are quick to blame mental illness for evil. Some people are just selfish assholes. That isn't a mental disorder that is just them being evil.

Its the only way he can rationalize his own behavior.

So, in other words, no, you don't have any proof at all a crime was actually committed.

EDIT: You're welcome.

A theocracy would be unconstitutional. But behaving as a Christian is not. Letting the teachings of Jesus inform your personal positions on societal issues is not. You could actually do that, persuade and vote in keeping with your faith in Jesus, and be completely in line with the constitution, and without living in a theocracy.

I don't believe evil, as a force independent of cause and effect, actually exists. If this woman actually did what she is accused of, such an act is not just selfishness. I have known a lot of selfish people over the years, but nobody who would somehow think it in any way acceptable to poison a baby, for any reason. I can't imagine how someone with an intact sense of right and wrong could. And if you can't tell the difference between right and wrong, then you are mentally ill.
