A mother, who got drunk before accidentally smothering her baby and killing him, was ceaselessly mocked by Headline News host Nancy Grace on one of her shows, asking “Did mommy booze it up and kill her baby?” and suggesting she should have been charged with murder.
That woman, made further despondent after seeing the segment, set herself on fire. She later died.
(via The New York Daily News)
Nancy Grace is a shrieking monster.
Nancy Grace is, quite possibly, the personification of the darkside of all humanity… she is the personification of that force within all of us that mercilessly mocks all those outside of our in-groups.
That scene, in Ghostbusters, when the Containment Unit fails and all of the ghosts escape? She would be the end result of all of those ghosts then fusing and taking form.
(I think that a mom getting drunk and failing asleep and smothering her child to death is a horrible thing. But it’s not murder. I’m not a lawyer, but I’m pretty sure that’s involuntary manslaughter… Funny, wasn’t she a lawyer at one time?)
