Look at this cartoon.

Lindsay Clancy in an alternate universe. The defendant is a man in an orange jumpsuit. His lawyer is yelling that he is not guilty by reason of insanity. The sign on the bench asks if there is still justice for all.

The jury is not buying it. One of them says, seriously? The other sign says facts still matter.

Outside the courthouse the signs get dumber. Free the incel. The wife did it. It’s the testosterone. He’s innocent because of his star sign.

That is the point.

If Lindsay Clancy had been a man, nobody would have rushed to his side. And they would have been right not to.

The women who lined up for her are messed up. They turned a mother who strangled her three children into a cause.

They made shirts. They stood on the sidewalk. They talked about her pain and skipped over three dead kids and a husband who came home to a nightmare.

The victims are the children. The victim is the husband. Lindsay Clancy is not the victim.

Equal application of the law means the same crime gets the same moral reaction.

You do not get a parade because you are a woman. You do not get a pass because the defense said hormones.

Swap the sex and the whole circus looks insane. That is because it was already insane.

A man who strangled his kids would be a monster. She did the same thing. The only difference is the crowd that showed up.

I know what I would have said if the killer had been a man. So do you.

This meme nails it. The double standard is the whole story. And the people holding it up are the women who decided the killer needed defending more than the babies did.

Bottom line, the children and the husband are the victims here. Not Lindsay Clancy.

If the killer had been a man, would anyone have stood on those steps for him?
