Twenty-six-year-old Dimone Fleming, a Bronx mother who repeatedly stabbed her 3-year-old and 11-month-old sons and submerged their bodies in a bathtub at a taxpayer-funded family shelter, has been found — wait for it — not criminally responsible and will not go to prison.

Fleming was originally charged with first-degree murder, but Judge Audrey Stone accepted an insanity plea Monday in Bronx Criminal Court, one likely tied to Postpartum Psychosis/Depression. Bronx Assistant District Attorney Tiffany Wichman reportedly told the court, “Prosecuting mothers does not and cannot prevent these crimes from happening.”
That’s a lie. Aggressively prosecuting criminals of all kinds does lead to less crime.
It shocks and saddens me to no end that today so many people are siding with murderers over their victims, Lindsay Clancy over her three adorable young children, all now dead. (And Hamas over Israel, socialism over capitalism, Islam over Christianity, Hasan Piker and Ibram X. Kendi over George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, the 1619 Project over the Constitution, anarchy over order, the devil over God, projection over accountability, entitlement over gratitude, and self-serving prevarication over truth.)
No one is held accountable for anything anymore (unless they are straight, white, Christian males), so everything goes. Including societal structure and adhesion.
But, speaking of hormones, what about men with extremely high testosterone levels? Their actions are never excused — unless they happen to be Muslims. I know what testosterone can do, as the treatment for my cancer has taken it all out of me. Yet, not to brag, but I have never once wanted to harm my kids, either when I was overloaded by testosterone in my younger years or now when I have none. Nor was I ever tempted to claim I had “post-terminal-diagnosis depression.” This simply made me cherish my relatively little time left with my loved ones even more. The actuarial statistics suggest I have a 1-in-3 chance of making it for two more years. On the other hand, even my doctors say there is almost always a slight chance that — somehow or some way — I might survive for quite a few more years. I’m neither going to expect that nor rule it out — faith, family and humor is my sustenance. (Hopefully, this means many more American Thinker posts … whether you guys like it or not, LOL.)

Yeah, I was lucky as a kid. When I was ill, my mother always said something like, “I wish I could take the illness out of you and put it in me. I hate seeing you so miserable.” Both mom and dad would have died for my brothers and myself.
And now, incredibly, Lindsay Clancy, the mom who murdered her three children, could be let off lightly by a jury of nine women and three men. She even has a teeming throng of pink-clad females cheering for her. If Postpartum Psychosis/Depression could cause women (assuming we can figure out what a woman is) to murder her children, then going forward, a diagnosis of same must be grounds for removing the children from that home. Unless we decide to fully sanction child homicide. But really, if we have decided that abortion isn’t murder, it’s a relatively short step to end up deciding that murder isn’t murder, either.
Maybe it’s just “women’s health care.”
Judgement and accountability are not bad things. They are absolutely necessary for a functioning democratic republic — or any society — to long survive.
Whether we know it or not, we are in an existential battle for the survival of our nation and its values.
As someone once said, or should have, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
