Something that's really getting to me about the Lucy Letby case is how quickly and shamelessly people are clamouring for content.
Eagerly awaiting podcasts, demanding tv shows like Dahmer, deciding who should play Letby herself. Legions of people with smoke coming off the keypad as they type ravenously in the group chat, speculating, posting sad emojis, gorging on these murdered babies like it's just another episode of Generic True Crime Podcast with Woman McWhite and not the worst case of child murder in the UK for god knows how long.
"Ooh, I reckon it's because she couldn't have kids"
"I bet her exes will have juicy info on her, I bet she had some crazy fetishes"
"She's just pure evil, plain and simple, haha I love serial killers, so interesting aren't they?"
Suddenly everyone's an expert, everyone decides they have a stake. Just fucking leave it be, wipe the saliva from your chin, stop patting yourself on the back for being appalled.
And don't get me started on those who are just so shocked because she "doesn't look like a murderer". What does a murderer look like then, Linda? No no, take your time, I'm sure you're not shocked because she's white and blonde.
I'm not implying that any of this is a new phenomenon. But gods, it feels especially fucking crass at the moment.

The Lucy Letby situation is fucked for so many reasons.
Because the actual shit she did was fucked, she's a serial killer, a child murderer.
And the news is like oh she was an English rose.
She didn't have the face of a murderer.... What do child murderers look like? 馃え
Because last I checked, the only nurses that have killed kids in thus country were white women.
And her friends and family being like oh she was so sweet, never angry, never mean oh we'll miss her so much.
"I'll stand with her no matter what? 馃ズ"... The fuck?!
I have dropped people for less.
And people sympathising with her crying in court like oh poor dear....
She killed 7 babies, you know who the poor dears are the babies!
The parents and families of those poor innocent babies.
God the power of white woman tears is something else.
And for anyone who's like don't bring race into this, you think there'd be this much sympathy if she was black or brown?
Bitch literally wrote a note saying "I'm evil I did this" and there are people who can't believe "an innocent women" could do such evil.

There鈥檚 a pretty big criminal case going on the UK
31 yr old Nurse Lucy Letby has been found guilty of murdering 7 babies (causing catastrophic injuries on at least one other) her modus operandi seems to have been injecting air into their blood streams causing them excruciating pain in their final moments.
I cannot for the life of me fathom how any person could harm a child let alone a baby under their care??
She鈥檚 a sick, twisted individual who should never be allowed back into society ever again
On top of that she鈥檚 a coward bc she鈥檚 refused to appear in court at all.

Idk if it's because my mutuals are largely not British or nobody wants to talk about it because fucking yikes but
Lucy Letby being Britain's most prolific child murderer in recent history. A nurse. Looks a bit like my sister. No motive but probably being a psychopath ig. The doctors tried to stop her earlier but were ignored for months. Just. Incomprehensible.
I suppose for the dimmest of silver linings her being white British rather than happening to be any other demographic shouldn't mean an outburst of racism or other -isms as a result

No because when a doctor raised concerns about Lucy Letby.
Ravi Jayaram.
A south asian man mind you.
Along with 2 other consultants.
They were told to not be mean to her.
That she cried when they accused her and had to apologise to her.
..... Apologise to a baby killing serial killer?!
Because they made her cry with their accusations.
Which were correct.
And had evidence even at that time to support she was guilty of murdering infants.
Because people couldn't fathom that a woman who looked like her could do something so horrible.
And the news really want to emphasise that someone who looks like her, you can't fathom doing such harm.

years ago, we really had doctors have to apologise to a literal serial killer because management didn't want to think about the premature babies being injured and dying at a higher rate when that nurse was the last person in that ward before the worst happened

Doing the googles, I didn't know there was another nurse serial killer in Britain in 1991 (Beverly Allitt)
Honestly sounds plausible that the conclusions around her may apply to Lucy Letby too: basically munchausen's by proxy (though that's not the official name, apparently that varies by country). Seems they crave the attention they get by being a seemingly heroic nurse and having to deal with these terrible unfortunate incidents to sweet little babies. The more terrible things happen the more attention and sympathy they get.
Horrific. But so plausible.

as childfree person, my heart goes to families of letby's victims and i hope sued hospital for let letby murdered their loved ones, doctor ravi jayram is hero tried stop her for killing newborn babies and i blame letby's parents made her monster
Also childfree and yeah, though idk about her family and upbringing. I imagine stories will come out as people try to understand and media wants attention, but haven't most of us been through shit and not turned out that way? Idk if it's nature or nurture or what, probably a complicated concoction. Just all so incredibly cruel for the families of the victims.
But just. What possibly goes through a person's brain as they do shit like that. It's hard to imagine
