I'm not making this personal about anyone in particular. Do you see anyone's name mentioned here? I was commenting on ClaraC's post about what she is proposing. Mostly, I was thinking about the general state of the Yahoo comments section.
This has a lot to do with human psychology and sociology.
Oh lets no pretend here. lol
You are making it personal, if not me then the other people in the thread. you aren't commenting on the comments, you are makin assumptions about people on the board.
I think many people cheer it. call it what you want. I'm not veiling anything. I am GLAD a guy in prison killed that guy. Doesn't mean I am going to go out and hurt anyone or be glad if you get hurt.
2 guys in prison already convicted, yeah go for it. That is positive in my opinion when a person kills his own 2 day old baby in the manner he did, is murdered.
Great! You also have to be willing to accept that some people don't agree that it's alright.
When you get defensive about it, it makes it seem like you're trying to justify bad thoughts. If you truly feel that how you feel is wholesome, just, and moral, then let it be. You don't need to prove anything to us, right?

In the psychological context of this situation, that's generally how a hypothesis in science begins, yes. You make an educated guess about the condition or outcome of something.

Except this is just current events not the Psychology forum.
Can someone tell me why killing a baby is worse then killing an older kid? Or a elderly person? Or plotting and killing your husband for life insurance? I actually don't get this.
I have no sympathy for the man who killed his child, but he did so under duress and without plotting. He deserved life in jail. But he didn't plot and then calmly kill the kid. Or watch the baby waste away. He lost his head (in a BIG way) and attacked a baby. Its horrific. But I fail to see how its worse then someone plotting and carrying out a murder...or have lots of time to save someone and refuse to. And I don't see how an infants life is more important or that the loss is greater then an adult or teen or elder.

Is there anyone more innocent in life than a newborn baby?

Because the victim was a completely helpless infant, and that goes against every instinct we have as a species. Of course it's an abhorrent crime regardless of the victim's age, but being an infant makes it a crime that is so repugnant that no amount of 'extenuating circumstances' would raise it to the level of murdering an adult. At least with most people, including me.

Do you think that psychology doesn't enter into the equation of how people react to current events? Hmmm...
I'm sorry, but I'm not going to debate this with you. We're not even on the same level.
