what the frick? This is no different than the 13 year old in NOLA who blows your head off for your 4runner.

Oh, his dad abused him and left—so what. You harm innocent people yourself, no matter your trauma, you own it

Wtf? It’s completely different. She didn’t blindside some law-abiding accountant on his morning commute and shoot him for his car, she was desperate to get away from an abusive and controlling captor. Both she and the boyfriend have consistently said she didn’t even take part in the actual killing.

I’m not saying that her mother’s crimes, no matter how heinous, justify brutally murdering her in cold blood, but let’s at least acknowledge the fact that Dee Dee Blanchard was in no way innocent or randomly targeted.
