Some of us are upset due to the idea that a woman who killed her child is going to walk. Justifiably so.
Talking about this issues is healthy IMO. Communication with others, and not a singular thought of sadness held within, is how some of us deal with the dissatisfaction of our justice system which failed miserably IMO today.
Nothing unhealthy about discussion.

princessbelle,
With all due respect, the woman was tried and found not guilty.
Even saying in your opinion that a "murderer was set free" is not healthy discourse. She was not proven to be a murderer. Saying she is one is deliberately inflammatory and drama provoking.
I have seen this dynamic run amok before under the guise of healthy discourse. I saw it when Michael Vick returned to the NFL and was praised by the President. Suddenly a man who was tried, convicted, and served his time needed to be raked over the coals in a very unnice way cuz people were disappointed with Obama's words on Vick.
I saw it with the "victims of the Superbowl". I saw it with bullying, saw it in "a site unexamined".
Ya'll have a thing for drama and anger. That isnt healthy discourse. Thats just drama and rage.
But we can agree to disagree.
