Lindsay Clancy Defenders Are Just As Sick As She Is

One of the hardest things to do, when you’re paying close attention to current events and you’ve watched one too many depraved TikToks, is to take a step back and realize that things weren’t always so bad. 

Not too long ago, for example, it would’ve been unthinkable for millions of women to spend their free time rallying to the defense of a psychotic mother like Lindsay Clancy, who allegedly murdered her own children, one by one, after sending her husband away on an errand. It would’ve been unthinkable for women to send nearly a million dollars to the mother’s family via a GoFundMe, as a reward for the horrific crime she had committed.

In another era, women certainly wouldn’t be throwing themselves out of windows in a bizarre effort to prove that Lindsay Clancy is somehow being framed for murder — even though Clancy herself isn’t making that claim. But as you can see, that’s exactly what’s happening today. 

There are women so bored with their lives, so delusional and dumb, that they’re throwing themselves out of buildings, on camera, in a futile attempt to demonstrate that Lindsay Clancy was definitely pushed out of her second-story window. They’re also consulting astrology and “birth charts” to divine the killer’s identity.

There are tons of videos just like that one. The idea that you can solve a crime based on looking at someone’s birthday is a legitimately popular view among women on social media. I will also say, as a side note — and not to get hung up on the less important details here — but the other thing you notice about all of these women on TikTok is that they all sound exactly the same. 

I don’t just mean that they sound the same because they’re all sputtering the same nonsensical, morally retarded gibberish. I mean that they sound the same in tone of voice, in mannerisms, in inflection. And they have the same facial expressions. The same tics. The same smarmy grin. The same dramatic pauses. And they speak in the same clichés. “Thank you for coming to my TED Talk,” she says, and she’s very impressed with herself for being approximately the five billionth person to think of that joke. 

My point is that while these women are being radicalized and driven into psychosis — not by any postpartum biological phenomenon, but by a combination of social media and their own narcissism — there is also a kind of loss of individual identity happening on a massive scale. The woman in that video, and in the thousands of videos like it, has no personality of her own. No thoughts of her own. She doesn’t even have her own distinct mannerisms or speaking style. She is a drone, a walking cliché, a being devoid of distinctness, and probably lacking anything resembling an actual interior life. This, again, is happening on a culture-wide scale. 

There is a psychotic lust for child-killing that’s taken hold of a large number of American women — which may not seem surprising, given their support for abortion. But it’s even worse than we thought. We’re now at the point where, if a random psycho witch murders her children in the basement, a preponderance of women on social media feel an instant kinship with her. 

At the same time, this isn’t just a problem that’s confined to women. In just the past year, we’ve also seen thousands of black people rally around Karmelo Anthony, who stabbed a white kid to death at a track meet. Many of these black people showed up to the courthouse to blame Austin Metcalf for his own murder. They donated hundreds of thousands of dollars, explicitly because he killed a white teenager. This is racial tribalism, mirroring the gender tribalism of the Lindsay Clancy case. 

We’ve also witnessed Charlie Kirk’s assassination and multiple assassination attempts against leading conservative figures — all prompting an outpouring of adulation from Leftists. This is an obvious form of political tribalism on the Left. These people instinctively support each other in everything they do — and innocents are dying as a result. The rule of law is starting to fail in large swaths of this country because of it.

So we have been told for years about the alleged “radicalization” of young white conservative men, but it seems clear that the worst and most psychotic forms of radicalization are happening in pretty much every group except that one. The one group that Merrick Garland and Joe Biden and Barack Obama warned us about, as it turns out, is the least-radicalized, least-deranged, and least violent of all. One way to explain this situation is that white men, as a group, have been beaten down by years of scolding and moral blackmail and propaganda — by the government, by the media, by everyone. There’s also the fact that white men have been replaced in cities throughout the United States, while being run out of every major institution. They’ve been conquered, in other words. 

To give just one egregious example that gets worse the more you learn about it — consider the following story from Fairfax County, Virginia. This is one of the most affluent areas in the United States. And up until recently, pretty much everyone living there had a name like “Steve” or “Peter.” But those days are long gone. So here we go: On the morning of December 29, 2019, in Vienna, Virginia, a 61-year-old landlord named Mohammad Hemmatian was stabbed to death in a home by his tenant, 27-year-old Abdulloi Toshpulodzoda. I’ll say that again: Abdulloi Toshpulodzoda stabbed Mohammad Hemmatian to death inside a mansion in Fairfax County. 

It was a brutal murder. Abdulloi was “covered in blood from head to toe” when officers arrived in the home. He told the police, “I am guilty.” And by the way, this guy had no legal right to be in the country in the first place. He’s an illegal alien. With all this in mind, here’s how a local news station covered the stabbing at the time:

Watch:

????OH MY GOSH!!!!

So the local news really didn’t want to provide the names of anyone involved in this incident, even though a suspect was in custody. At the end of the clip, the anchor does express some surprise that a homicide like this could occur in such a wealthy area, but that’s as far as it goes. You’re left to conclude that this was just another unfortunate altercation between a couple of random Virginia men who are just as American as anyone else. And fortunately, the police caught the killer, so you’d obviously assume he’ll be spending the rest of his life in prison.

But that didn’t happen. Instead, in 2022, Abdulloi was interviewed by a state-funded Muslim psychiatrist. And shockingly enough, that Muslim psychiatrist found that Abdulloi was “not guilty by reason of insanity.” He was sent to the Northern Virginia Mental Health Institute. What this means is that, under Virginia law, he was not criminally responsible for butchering his landlord. Every year, he’s eligible for a psychiatric evaluation. And if the doctor determines he’s all better, he can be released into the public with no conditions whatsoever. It’s as if the murder never happened. He can walk right outside the doors of the mental institution as a free man.

We’ve discussed before why the insanity defense should be abolished because none of this makes any sense whatsoever. Once you kill someone, you forfeit your right to freedom, permanently. It doesn’t matter if a psychiatrist thinks you were “insane” at the time. Even if you can somehow prove that you couldn’t control your own actions or had no idea what was going on, that’s all the more reason to lock you up. You’re a threat to everyone around you, for as long as you live.

But in this case, Abdulloi didn’t even have to wait for a psychiatrist to give him the green light for release. Instead, Abdulloi was freed from the mental institution even though his doctors and the court strongly believed that he shouldn’t be released. This is from the New York Post:

Abdulloi Toshpulodzoda left the Northern Virginia Mental Health Institute (NVMHI) on July 6 for an authorized 48-hour pass. He was required to return two days later, but he never did. … Instead, [he] traveled to Washington Dulles International Airport and boarded a Turkish Airlines flight to Istanbul before continuing to Dushanbe, Tajikistan, court documents show.

In other words, even though he was supposed to be held indefinitely in a mental institution, the mental institution gave him a 48-hour unsupervised day pass, where he could go wherever he wanted. And what do you know? He chose to board an airplane and go back to his homeland. Who could have possibly seen this coming?

Already, this story is yet more evidence that the insanity defense must be abolished. Once you start coddling criminals and pretend they didn’t actually do anything wrong, this is what happens. The government hires a bunch of social workers to treat these monsters like harmless little children. And the monsters, predictably, take full advantage of the situation.

As it turns out, the Fairfax County Commonwealth’s attorney — a Soros-funded prosecutor named Steve Descano — asked a judge to allow Abdulloi to temporarily leave the mental institution so he could travel to the embassy of Tajikistan in Washington, D.C., to obtain a passport. That was two years ago. It gave this murderer the tool he needed to flee the country. 

So this was a state-sanctioned, Soros-backed jailbreak, in other words. It proceeded in two steps. First, Democrats in Virginia helped an illegal alien Islamic murderer to get a passport. Then the mental institution opened the doors and gave him a 48-hour head start to the airport.

If something like this happened in the third world, they’d be ashamed of themselves. It’s too much even for them. First you have the Muslim psychiatrist bailing out the Muslim killer, then the government arranges the killer’s getaway flight. This is the kind of thing that doesn’t even happen in Afghanistan. But it’s now considered another day at the office in Fairfax, Virginia — which, again, used to be one of the nicest areas in the country.

The insanity defense enables all of this corruption. Without the insanity defense, they wouldn’t be able to issue “day passes” or drive criminals to get passports. But as it stands, because we’ve closed the asylums, a verdict of “not guilty by reason of insanity” is essentially a get-out-of-jail-free card. If you’re an Islamic murderer and you get a Muslim psychiatrist, you’re in business.

This again is why the insanity defense should be abolished. Although, since we’re on the subject, I feel that I should note — because hardly anyone else is — that a distinction is lost in the debate about insanity and the insanity defense. Nobody denies that insanity is a real phenomenon. Insane people exist. Recently I saw a homeless guy on the street corner, half naked, unwashed, engaged in a heated dispute with a lamppost. He was very obviously insane. He had no idea where he was, who he was, or what he was doing. If he ever killed someone, which he likely will, I would agree that he had very little control over it. Although he still (even more so, if anything) needs to be locked away forever.

The real debate is about the concept of “temporary insanity.” The question is whether a functional, coherent person — someone capable of living as a normal member of society, and engaging in normal conversations and showing an ability to plan for the future and fulfill their basic obligations and do all the stuff normal people do — could nonetheless suddenly go insane and lose all agency, only to quickly regain agency and be somehow not crazy again. 

I think this idea is mostly mythological, something out of the movies and not real life. And at any rate, it’s totally unfalsifiable. It could never be proved or disproved. There is no way at all, ever, to determine what was happening inside the conscious mind of a currently sane person weeks or months ago at a specific moment in time. And so even if “temporary insanity” is a real thing — which I highly doubt — it would still be absolutely impossible to demonstrate or prove, and literally any criminal, for all we know, could have been “temporarily insane” at the time of their crime. 

Our only choice then is to hold currently sane people entirely accountable for the crimes they committed, no matter what they were or weren’t thinking at the time. And as for currently insane people, we can feel very sorry for them if we want to, but they too have to be locked away forever for the good of society and the sake of the innocents they can never be trusted to be around. So all of this is a long way of saying that this whole debate is ultimately, or should be ultimately, irrelevant.

But it’s made relevant because the objective is to let people like Lindsay Clancy off the hook, using whatever legal tools are available. And that’s exactly why all of these women, and even some cucked, gutless men, are breathlessly making the insanity case. They want her to go free. And that’s not based on any kind of logic or even on any kind of genuine misunderstanding or difference of opinion. 

They know she murdered her children, they know she chose to do it, and they support her in spite of that — or, more grimly, they support her because of it. These women have entered a state of communal psychosis, all to defend Clancy for committing the most heinous act imaginable — strangling her own children to death. Their plan (as was the case in Virginia) is to use the absurdity of the “insanity defense” to absolve her of responsibility for these brutal murders.

And to be clear, I’m not talking about a handful of viral TikToks here. This is not a case of cherry-picking the most extreme weirdos to develop a narrative. This phenomenon is widespread and mainstream. As we speak, a GoFundMe for Clancy’s family — a roundabout way of donating to Clancy — has exceeded $930,000 in donations.

The GoFundMe page reads: 

The Musgrove Family Fund is for the two people who have remained at her side through every step of what followed: her parents, Mike and Paula Musgrove. For more than three years, Mike and Paula have shown up for Lindsay.  … The case will eventually reach its conclusion. Whatever that outcome is, Mike and Paula will still have to pick up the pieces of the lives they have put on hold to be there for their daughter. They should not have to face that future without the financial foundation they spent decades building.

Of course there’s no logical reason why anyone would donate to the fundraiser of the parents of a child murderer unless they support the murderer. To the extent the parents have spent money defending their child-killing daughter, that’s their decision. No one owes them anything. The whole idea is preposterous. And indeed, when you look at the comments on the GoFundMe, you see exactly what’s going on here:

“Lindsay is changing womens health and we know it and hopefully saving the lives of many struggling women.”

“As someone that worked in mental health for many years, I am disgusted, shocked and appalled by the catastrophic failures of so many professionals. Lindsay, I see you and I stand with you with an aching heart.”

“I stand with Lindsay. I could have been you.”

That last claim is especially popular among women who support Lindsay Clancy. They’re all saying that, just like Clancy, they could see themselves doctor-shopping for a dozen different psych meds, then brutally murdering their own children. A licensed therapist made the same claim on camera, saying, “Many of us know that we could have been only one step away from [murdering our children].” 

This is not an outlier. It’s a popular sentiment among Lindsay Clancy fans. To be clear, I don’t think it’s actually true. I can’t believe it’s true. According to the child killer’s legion of groupies, it is very common for women to be merely one step away from murdering their entire families. This is the point being made, explicitly, by Clancy’s defenders. 

If that were true, if homicidal desires in women were as common as these people say, and if the difference between Lindsay Clancy and the average woman is one of sheer luck and good fortune — if the average woman could easily be Lindsay Clancy, if she has come within mere inches of becoming Lindsay Clancy — it would have vast social and legal consequences. 

Indeed, it would be the greatest argument for the patriarchy that you could ever make. And it is an argument being made by Clancy’s feminist defenders. And yet I personally reject the claim. I don’t think that most women are merely one step away from strangling their children to death as Clancy’s fan club proposes. Which means that I, the guy accused of being the sexist in this debate, am putting forward a much more flattering and positive view of women than these women themselves are. 

But even if wanting to murder your children is not a common, banal sort of experience for the average woman, still something is happening in an increasingly sizable portion of the modern female population that can’t be ignored. 

What’s happening is the logical endpoint of decades of feminist propaganda and policy, SSRI prescriptions, and social media saturation. For generations, women have been taught that their immediate needs are more important than anyone else’s — even their own children. They’ve been allowed to butcher their children in the womb with total impunity. Even when abortion was illegal, very few women were ever prosecuted for it. Instead of taking responsibility for their own actions, in every aspect of life, women have been told — much like racial minorities have been told — that the fault for their behavior lies elsewhere. Selfishness has been taught as a virtue to all of the Left’s favored demographic groups, including and especially women. 

This is relevant to the topic of parenting. The truth, as uncomfortable as it may be to hear — and I’ve already gotten in a lot of trouble on X for saying this, so I’ll say it here, because whining at me and scolding me is only going to make me say whatever I was saying even louder and more often — the truth is that much of the “depression” that parents (and not just moms, dads too) suffer after childbirth is not always due entirely to hormones, or any purely physiological cause, but also to the fact that children, especially babies, are demanding and difficult and require us to subordinate our own needs and desires for their sake. 

The more selfish you are — and we’re all selfish, to some degree — the more of an adjustment it’s going to be. As I’ve said explicitly many times, postpartum depression is a real biological phenomenon. But that is not the only thing going on when a new child is born, and parents are adjusting to their new reality. And also, postpartum depression is not an excuse to harm your child in any way, and if you do that, you should be punished to the fullest extent of the law — I don’t care how depressed you were.

But these emotional challenges should be expected, to some degree, because having children is by far the most seismic change you will ever experience in your life. Nothing else comes close to it. Getting married. Moving to another country. Getting a new job. None of that has the effect of so immediately and so totally changing the way you live your life on a day-to-day basis. 

It doesn’t help anyone to completely reduce the mental hardship and frustration of this experience to a matter solely of hormones and brain chemistry, as if there aren’t even deeper reasons why a parent might feel depressed as they learn to live in an entirely different way, and are forced, for the first time, to orient their lives around something other than their own needs and desires. Of course I would say the same thing about depression in general. There are very often deeper issues than just the chemicals.

In the case of Lindsay Clancy — an extreme outlier case, though apparently not as much of an outlier as we had thought and hoped — she was so selfish, so narcissistic, so utterly consumed by her own wants and desires, that she eventually lashed out in the most barbaric way imaginable. 

The self-appointed “experts” may try to tell us that she had no free will, no ability to make choices, that she was nothing but an automaton responding to chemical signals with no conscious awareness or choice involved, like she was nothing but a flesh-and-blood ChatGPT. The experts are, for lack of a better term, full of crap. 

If you take a look at the Lindsay Clancy content that’s all over social media right now, it supports everything I’m saying. You simply cannot watch these videos and come to any other conclusion — there is an epidemic of narcissism among some women in this country, and it’s leading them to broadcast their derangement and psychopathy all over the Internet. 

These are women who are not suffering from any “hormonal imbalance” that we know of. Or if they do, that’s not their main problem. Their main problem is a spiritual sickness, not a physical one. They’re echoing decades of soul-corrupting feminist propaganda, and coming to deranged theories about how Lindsay Clancy couldn’t possibly be responsible — because in their view, no woman is responsible for anything, ever.

At this point, if we’re being honest, the TikTok brain damage is probably irreversible. It’s full-on psychosis. She’s creating this vast narrative in her mind that has absolutely no basis in reality. The sole purpose of her delusion is to absolve a woman of responsibility for killing her own children. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to conclude that, in her own life, this woman probably doesn’t take responsibility for anything either. If she’s willing to spin up elaborate cinematic movie plots to absolve some other random woman of heinous crimes, just imagine what she’s willing to do — what sort of Olympic hurdles she’s willing to jump over — to absolve herself of whatever terrible things she’s done or will do.

Here’s another clip along these lines, from an actress named Lisa Rinna: 

Watch: 

Actress Lisa Rinna says she and her female therapist agreed that Patrick Clancy killed his children, not Lindsay Clancy, because “women don’t strangle.”

“[My therapist] looks at me and she goes, ‘He did it.’ I was like, ‘Wow, yeah.'”

Here’s another person who contributes to the patient’s narcissistic delusions instead of doing anything to correct them. “Women don’t strangle” — except in all the cases where they have strangled people to death, including the recent cases of Kenya Tilford in New York, Kristie Marie Lynch in Virginia, Drezene Jonkerman in South Africa, as well as Lori Vallow Daybell in Idaho (who strangled her own children). See, if you ignore all the evidence of women strangling people, then women don’t strangle people. It’s airtight logic.

Actually, even if I couldn’t name a single case of a woman strangling someone, it doesn’t preclude the possibility that it happened in this case — because, you see, women have hands. And when you have hands, you can strangle someone, particularly a child. And that’s especially true in a case where the defendant admits it happened.

For his part, Douglass Mackey (the meme-creator Joe Biden prosecuted) has a slightly more optimistic take on what we’re seeing here. This is what he wrote:

You have to understand the Lindsay Clancy obsession as just a soap opera. It’s a low-stakes way for women to escape from their boring routines and feel like their life has meaning. They are not just moms surfing TikTok and doing laundry. They are sleuths. Detectives. Activists. Fighters. Do-gooders. Some may be cynically trying to capture TikTok ad money, yes. Others are just spectators wanting to feel SOMETHING, anything, to break the routine.

The problem with this argument is that, as we can see in many different ways, these women actually believe what they’re saying. It’s not just a time-waster for them. Women in Massachusetts just got a law passed that allows them to murder their child until the moment of birth. They’re genuinely becoming emotional — weeping on camera — about the prospect of legalizing post-birth abortion, which is what the Lindsay Clancy case is really about.

This is not just a lark, or some kind of game for them. Logic won’t convince these people of anything, because as we saw, they’re enamored with astrology and other forms of arcane magic. 

The more of these clips you watch, the more you realize that these aren’t just stupid gossipy women involving themselves in a soap opera. They are a danger to themselves and their families. Some of these videos, by themselves, amount to probable cause for child protective services to launch an investigation. In particular, there’s a new trend where women are crying while holding their own child as Lindsay Clancy’s diary entries are read in court.

This whole display is utterly, unspeakably evil, and eye-opening in the worst ways. I’ll never be able to unsee thousands of women rallying to the defense of a demon who strangled her children to death. It is one of the darkest things we’ve ever witnessed. 

Between this and the Karmelo Anthony fundraiser, we are getting a glimpse into a kind of cultural rot that cannot be easily waved away. Lindsay Clancy had every form of help imaginable — family support, financial support, and medical support (to the point that she was doctor-shopping and hoarding pills, and disregarding her doctors’ advice to taper the medication). And still, she chose to murder her children. She chose to commit an unfathomably barbaric act, which — assuming she has an ounce of humanity or sanity left — will make every moment of her life a living hell from now until the day she dies.

So you have to ask: What exactly are these women even trying to achieve, at this point? If they get what they want, and Lindsay Clancy is released from prison, what exactly happens next? A podcaster named Brittany Hughes, as far as I can tell, is the only person asking this question. Here’s what she wrote:

I don’t get why she wants to be found not guilty, for any reason. If you told me I’d completely lost my mind and murdered all three of my children, whom I loved, you wouldn’t have to give me the death penalty. I’d beg for it. I’d be so guilt-ridden and horrified, I’d do it if no one else would. Why would I want to be released on the grounds of…anything? To go back home and do what, start a new life? To live the rest of my miserable days in an insane asylum, staring at a wall thinking about the babies I’d strangled? Honestly, even if you do believe she was genuinely *that disturbed*, the most merciful thing you could do is send her to the Lord and let him sort out the rest.

This insight requires thinking ahead to the future. It requires you to consider the ramifications of a “not guilty” verdict, and what they might mean for Lindsay Clancy, in particular. But none of the TikTok women are capable of doing that. They’re solely interested in their own moment-to-moment gratification.

But at the same time, we should take what they’re saying seriously, because it reveals a very profound sickness at a fundamental level. Lindsay Clancy’s saying, “It could have happened to anyone,” is just another way of saying that none of us can control anything we do, ultimately, so you can’t blame us for our failures. That’s also what’s happening with Jason Arday. It’s maybe the defining element of our culture: This never-ending quest to relieve ourselves of the burden of free will. 

I noted before how white conservative men are, it turns out, the least tribal, the least extreme, the least prone to the sort of psychotic violent radicalism that prompts them to rally around someone who strangles children or stabs kids in the chest. I think this might be the fundamental reason for this dichotomy. Every other group in the culture — women, black people, all other racial minorities, the LGBT club — are all told that ultimately their failures, their sins, their crimes, their choices, are the fault not of themselves but of abstract faceless villains like “the system” and “whiteness” and “the patriarchy.” 

There has been a decades-long quest to remove agency, or the sense of agency, from these favored demographics. But straight white conservative men are the only group — and I really do mean the only group — who have never been told that their actions aren’t their own fault. Instead, they have the opposite issue. They are blamed not only for their own behavior, but for everyone else’s too. White men have been given a surplus of agency. 

This tends to create resentment, bitterness, and justified animosity, but it doesn’t tend to drive you completely insane. Being blamed for stuff you didn’t do makes you angry. But being told you aren’t responsible for what you did do makes you — if you take it to heart — crazy. After all, the very definition of a crazy person is a person who isn’t responsible for what they do. 

And even if it doesn’t lead to full-blown psychosis, still the people who don’t believe they’re responsible for their own actions will forever be miserable and envious and hateful —  always looking for some external cause for their own pain and disappointment and frustration. What no one wants to hear — whether they’re women on TikTok, or black British activists in the UK, or socialists in New York and Minneapolis — is that you idolize fraudsters and killers because you’re a bad person. Your life is presumably terrible because of choices you’ve made. You’re unhappy and bitter because you’re unwilling to prioritize the interests of others over your own. 

By telling you this, I can’t sell you any medication. I won’t win any fans on TikTok, or X, or anywhere else. But it’s a message that needs to get out there, because as it stands, very few people are saying it. And whether we admit it or not, the most vulnerable among us — including children who can’t speak for themselves — are dying in horrific ways as a result. 

Ultimately, people who won’t take responsibility for their own actions, people who deny their own free will, have no future. And if there is any lesson from the Lindsay Clancy case, and the conversation around it, it’s that a society populated by such people has no future either.
