re: Gypsy Rose Blanchard released from prison

There are cases that regardless of the law you shouldn’t convict someone

It's like being held as a hostage after being kidnapped

Murdering your kidnapper to escape shouldn't be a crime.

She shouldnt have done any time honestly

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.

Nah. She deserved to die, and earned it.

Didn't just earn, worked OVERTIME.

No, this was a woman who methodically planned her abuse over the course of years,

Dee Dee would have been right at home as a guard a Nazi Concentration Camp for women.

Just for fun, here's a pic of Gypsy and her Mom.

As you can see, Gypsy has no teeth. They rotted out partially due to the fact her salivary glands were unnecessarily removed.




I hope they took a dump in the toilet as they flushed Dee Dees' ashes....

You got this from a post about her having no teeth?

Mommy Dead and Dearest was a great documentary. I don't think there are many people that watched that and wasn't like "yea I don't blame her."

Yep. That's some straight up black and white justice for a squeaky clean abused girl.

She did some abhorrent and pathological things in the days following her mother’s murder, and I wouldn’t be surprised if being raised, abused, and intentionally stunted in every realm of development by an obvious sociopath hadn’t instilled some of the same maladaptive behavior patterns in her. I don’t think anyone has argued that she isn’t likely to need a lot of support and mental health care to function well on the outside.

What I don’t see mentioned a whole lot was how the cocktail of unnecessary meds, which included psychotropic drugs, she was on at the time of the murder could have impacted her mental and emotional capacity. Gypsy herself said that, while the effects of the drugs don’t excuse her actions at all, her emotions were blunted and her mind felt empty of any substantive thoughts. She also didn’t participate in or witness the actual murder and seemed incapable of acting on her own in that regard regardless of her chemical or emotional state, meaning she might have remained under her mother’s control to this day if killing Dee Dee had in fact been her only way out.

She was a desperate, childlike, criminally overmedicated, lifelong abuse victim in an extremely novel and overwhelming situation — that alone could torpedo a person’s impulse control and psychosocial processing. The seeming impossibility of the situation would only add fuel to that fire. It’s a textbook recipe for clinically breaking from reality in and of itself. Then imagine how the presence of pharmacological agents used as “treatment” for physical and mental conditions she didn’t have (and later, possibly by abrupt withdrawal from those same meds) would exacerbate all of it.

Given the way all of her close family members have embraced her in the aftermath and have firmly stated that she’s been punished enough, I believe she’s paid any so-called debt to society and presents no threat to public safety at this point. There was zero reason to keep her locked up.
