When she made the “bear” comment, she didn’t specifically mean bears. In Florida it would be gators.

“...have people who are expert in being able to defend and having lots and lots of training in order to do so.”

Trump has succeeded in only one thing so far - bringing to light the most incompetent, tone-deaf stupid and paranoid of the human race. Betsy DeVos, Steve Bannon, Donald Trump Jr, Huckabee, Ivanka, Mnuchin, Scaramuci, Sebastian Gorka, Kelly Anne Conway... the list goes on and on.

“what we’re going to do to find common ground and common solutions going forward.” There isn’t common ground here. Not when the problem is gun control and you won’t even acknowledge it let alone do anything remotely useful. What did Betsy accomplish by “being there”? Literally nothing unless it’s a bit more proof that…

The sight of her face is a reminder of how much power these greedy, destructive billionaires have over people, animals, and the environment.

“I think that the concept is to, for those schools and those communities that opt to do this, as they have in Texas, and as they have in Polk County and other places around the country, to have people who are expert in being able to defend and having lots and lots of training in order to do so.”

Yeah, this article was beyond bizarre. The family sounds lovely, but even if they were major assholes that would not excuse her murdering their kids. Wtf, Jezebel?

This story is horrifying and I’m sorry it was distressing to you but the mental picture of you hugging wife, cats, AND vodka gave me a giggle.

Well said.

Yes, narcissism is the culprit here. Struggle is common. Ortega had a shitty job but not shitty employers. The rest of her life indicated she was fairly childish and irresponsible as well so it’s no surprise that she never built a career or even a stable home but still felt entitled to a high salary and life of…

It’s Amazing how these parents established a charity to help underprivileged school children , bought this nanny a plane ticket to her home to be with her family, took her to a concert to see her favorite band, paid her what she requested, and this article paints them as this evil rich white people enslaving brown…

Dude, that’s only like, two people on here. The vast majority are strongly anti-child-killer.

Thank you. I’m offended this even gets discussed. Her life is forfeit can we lock her up already. Ugh.

In all fairness, more of the comments lean the other way, despite the article’s obvious insinuations.

What does it MATTER if she is insane or not?

She killed two children. Protect society; end this monster.

WTF WTF WTF? Jezebel, you’re pushing the poverty sympathy-card wayyyy to far here and it’s pretty stomach turning. Um, hi, you can be liberal and compassionate AND reasonable at the same time. Sympathizing with the murderer here on any level is beyond messed up. How about we focus 100000% the sympathy on the parents…

I gathered myself and just hugged my cats and wife and vodka. Good call.

When did “eat the rich” become “kill their children”?

You are not alone. I can’t quite say why this makes me uncomfortable, but it definitely does. Wishing you peace and health (and hot Earl Grey).
