Idk about everyone else but dam does Lemmy have some of the most brutal posts over and over… between these messed up news stories, brutal cop stories, and the constant politics posts is there even anything else to see? I think I’ve had enough internet tonight.
Sadly it’s not Lemmy. This is the world we live in.
Good things aren’t news.
There are plenty of good news, but no one gives a crap.

My answer for any defederation request.
Maybe try upliftingnews@lemmy.world ?
My feed is overrun by cat content…I mean I love the kitties but it’s too much
I got cute bugs here if you want:
And if the cats need legal advice, we’ve got you covered here: !cattorneys_at_paw@lemmy.world
that’s how all social media is. people are biologically compelled to be curious about violence
I like to click on it and then complain about it in the comments and then downvote
I feel you. I went on a “happy community/mag” subscription binge just last night in hopes it might help offset the constant feed of pessimism I wake up to.
Good idea. Any suggestions from your search?
dadjokes@lemmy.world but be ready to groan. I also added aww and cats.
Great minds think alike it seems 😆. Thanks
Yes. unfortunately most of the active posters that do this are smart enough to actually contribute useful content along with news that serve their political interests.
Hope she gets some much needed mental health support in prison
Nothing quiets the mind like a lethal injection.
Ah yes, government-sanctioned murder. That won’t backfire…
found the reactionary
That’s not what reactionary means.
I’m not some huge fan of the death penalty. There’s a hefty line, but this is WAY past it.
And then 10 years later it comes out the justice system failed and she did infact not do anything. What do you say then?
Wait I’m confused are there actually people who think she didn’t do this? I looked at the evidence it’s pretty f****** clear she killed like a bunch of babies. Like how much of a psychopath do you have to be to kill a baby not only a baby, preemies. The most defenseless of defenseless, like are you for real or are you just like joshing and having a laugh, are you for real?
Oh YOU looked at the evidence? Ok, nothing more to do here boys, time to shut down the courts and legal institutions, we found a much better way to do things. Why haven’t we thought about contacting you sooner?
You think there is no deception possible in this world? Imagine you killed someone and afterwards it turns out a mistake was made in the process?
Dude what?
There’s a note in her handwriting admitting she did it.
All the babies that died, died whilst she was on shift at a infinitely higher rate than what was normal
The text messages on her phone link to the dates of when the babies were killed.
People can often be locked up or sentenced under some pretty circumstantial evidence, but that is not the case here.
Then she was looking to end her life anyway. Used a rather round about method to pull it off, but it was her choice.

Is a hand written note really enough proof?
To be fair the NHS and UK government were probably too busy attacking trans people to worry about an actual problem
Gross.

I don’t know why you are being downvoted. You’re right. This is not just one evil person. It’s also a systemic failure of controls and oversight. This would not have been possible without a criminally negligent institution around the perpetrator.
