This comment urged people not to blame the woman, arguing that her actions should be viewed as the result of someone who “wasn’t thinking straight” rather than intentional murder. While presented as empathy, the statement effectively downplays the seriousness of the act and frames extreme violence as understandable. This is troubling because it shifts attention away from accountability and the innocent lives lost, and instead centers the perpetrator’s emotional state. Emotional distress or mental instability may offer context, but it does not excuse killing. By portraying the act as somewhat justified, the comment risks normalizing violence as a valid response to betrayal or pain, weakening societal condemnation of such crimes.
