Adam Smith said that mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent. Perhaps no quote better illustrates the recent mistrial of Lindsay Clancy. Clancy admitted to killing her three children (five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan), but 11 of the 12 jurors were prepared to find her not guilty by reason of insanity.

While I was watching the news about a month ago, I thought I saw during coverage of the DSA Convention a sign that said, “Try Socialism.” Now those of us who have taken time to review the history of socialism (and its brother, communism), know that it doesn’t usually end well and includes the deaths of millions over the years.
Why didn’t you mention the State Reps who enticed this behavior? Rep. Maddox has been under fire for her racist tweets and the Ky Democrats have called for her resignation. There is a petition going around with thousands of signatures for her to resign. She has yet to denounce them as a group because they are her base. She has said the tweets while racist, homophobic and bigoted do not define her yet she clearly had lengthy discussions back and forth with individuals on twitter about each sensitive topic and to get her points across, she even highlighted her points by capitalizing certain words to make them stand out. She does not represent Kentuckians nor my values, yet the leadership of the Kentucky House and the GOP have yet to come out and condemn these tweets? Why? She needs to resign. This needs to be brought to the forefront especially when our country is burning.
