I can’t begin to tell you how much this bit terrifies me:
“The judge also realizes that jail time will not reform us, because he has witnessed our faith runs very deep,” the statement reads.
Translation: we did nothing wrong.
Extrapolation: therefor, we’ll do it again if similar situations arise.
Further: Yes, we are OK with killing children in [...]
Honestly, I don’t know what to say about this.
6 months plus probation.
At what point do we simply say that child neglect is A-OK?
I mean, seriously, I’m not sure what the details are on this but they did remove the kids and none of them had died.
So, crazy nazi parents are NOT ok, but crazy [...]
Jury finds Wis. mother guilty in prayer death — chicagotribune.com
“We accept the situation as it is for now,” Gordon said. “We worship our God. It doesn’t mean God loves us any less. Matter of fact is, he just loves us that much more. We will continue to seek justice.”
Really? God loves you more [...]
Dear Brian Gordon, Perhaps you are confused by the ‘lingo’. The prosecutors ‘forced the case through’ (whatever that means), and turned the place into a crime scene because, wait for it, a crime was committed.I don’t know did about Wisconsin, but I’m assuming that child neglect and murder are crimes there.Including murder in the name [...]
Look, I can’t believe what hypocrites these people are, given that Ms. Neumann seemed to require medical attention during the first day, and didn’t demand that they leave her alone and just pray for her, but…
I continue to hope these people never see their children ever again since they are more than happy to murder [...]
Leilani Neumann Has Run Out Of Cash
Attorney Gene Linehan told a judge Friday that Leilani Neumann of Weston has already spent $12,000 in donations on her legal expenses and can’t hire needed expert witnesses for her May trial.
Linehan says all Neumann has now is a law book and Bible to defend herself.
Well, that should be [...]
From StreetProphets
I don’t know what I find the most tragic aspect of this case to be. That a child suffered and died a needless death. That the parents of the child had such a narrow and distorted faith that their actions led to that death. That those same parents now face charges and jail time [...]
They’ll almost certainly get away with it too. All the defense has to do is convince one person on the jury that if we require people to be responsible for their actions taken in the name of religion then religious freedom will vanish.
All that has to happen is for one person to realize that they [...]
Deep down inside, I know that Madeline’s death is our fault as a nation. We let them get away with it. We refuse to ever question anything about religious beliefs (unless you are a scientologist…).
And, because of that, people continue to act without rational justification and we continue to say its OK.
We continue to act [...]
Its OK, we killed our daughter because of our religion. Shouldn’t we get a free pass?
A day before Madeline died, according to the criminal complaint, the father wrote an e-mail with the headline, “Help our daughter needs emergency prayer!!!!.” It said his daughter was “very weak and pale at the moment with hardly any strength.”
Fuck [...]
