    You are an unempathetic person. You don’t know them and react with a kneejerk reaction. You are saying awful things. Worse yet, people who have done far less will now read your post that basically says “your mental illness made you do stuff, you should kill yourself” and they will believe you. Imagine someone thinking they are the worst person in the world because of a mistake they made. Be it lack of impulse control that lead to their marriage falling apart, or hurting people close to them due to some other illness. It’s not helping anyone.

    It’s one thing to want to seperate her from society on account of her actions. It’s an entirely different one to wish death by suicide to someone. It’s not as black and white as you paint it out to be. Mental illness is a huge problem that isn’t just “someone feeling sad”.

      If I’m telling someone to kill themselves it’s because they’ve done something irredeemable. I never said anything about mentally ill people in general. If they haven’t done anything then I’d hope they seek help.

      He’s not unempathetic for having a different opinion than you.

      You are giving a kneejerk reaction.

      You are saying awful things.

      People will read your post and think “Mental illness makes people murder babies, guess I better not trust them, they’re dangerous”.

      Imagine everyone else thinking mentally ill people are raving psychopaths champing at the bit to murder their families.

      It’s one thing to oppose the death penalty. But trying to imply a baby murderer isn’t responsible for her actions because she is mentally ill – which you don’t actually even know she is anyway – is a special kind of fucked up.

      You’re literally doing everything you accuse him of doing and more.
