What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Is this just straight up psychopathy? It seems like maybe she was trying to kill babies off to a bad start, so there's a strange ethic in there. Fucked up person though.

Man, I want to know more about this now. Has she expressed any remorse? Has she been psychiatrically evaluated?

Has she expressed any remorse?

She is still maintaining her innocence so, no.

There will no doubt be some deep dives into her state of mind published eventually. As far as I can tell, the conviction is safe, as in, the evidence is solid that it was more than just a statistical blip, or errors under pressure due to understaffing (which was her all too credible defence).

There's speculation that it was a very extreme form of attention seeking, which started not long after she moved away from her parents, who she was very close to as an only child. Probably a lot more complicated than psychopathy.

Tighten the straight jacket and put more padding on the walls I can’t imagine anyone wants to hear or see her ever again.

How could a child possibly be a serial killer?

[–] quicklime@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Those stupid headline writers. She's a serial child killer, not a child serial killer.

I got it. It was a joke. Apparently it's serious business in this community.

No, I knew you got it and were making a funny. I don't know what's up with the people who downvoted you, I was not one of them.

I only located my comment under yours because of similar subject manner, and maybe it would have been better to put it at the main level to avoid this. My intention was entirely about the barely-literate headline writers and not at all about setting you straight or whatever.
