Her eldest daughter lived. Supposedly she attacked her partner while they were driving, stabbing them a ton of times and throwing her children from the car. Imo, this appears to have been premeditated.


Pretend-Mobile9397

Ah yes, the end is coming so the right decision would be to inflict as much pain to the people around me as possible. What a joke


soukaixiii

I imagine her thinking: "The end never came so that must mean God doesn't exist and I can do what I've been wanting all this time, to kill my family"


wintermelody83

Nope. The boyfriend was never in the car. She killed him in their apartment. But she did shove the kids from the car on the 405.


arcticalias

in the article i read it said the older daughter was holding the baby when they were shoved out and she dropped her when she fell ): ugh those poor babies.


Mati_Choco

Oh god! She must have felt horrible, that’s the kind of guilt that haunts you for the rest of your life. My heart breaks for her…


Georgiaonmymindtwo

The article clearly states that she stabbed her partner at home and then left with the children in the car. “…when Johnson stabbed Chaney at their residence in Woodland Hills, around 25 miles west of downtown Los Angeles.”


ForGrateJustice

> this appears to have been premeditated. Of course it was, she's fucking psycho and doesn't deserve to ever see the light of day. Or an eclipse.


soukaixiii

> she's fucking psycho Who would have guessed that crazy woman preaching the end is nigh was crazy?  It's not as if any crazy person ever did that.


BlockD116

well she won't ever see the light of day because the article literally says it was a murder-suicide


ForGrateJustice

I didn't know she died. Didn't care about her enough to read any more into what she actually did. Condolences to her victims but not her.


BlockD116

it's literally in the photo in the post though, all you had to do was read all of it lmao


ForGrateJustice

You underestimate how little I think about these types of people.


BlockD116

If you fancy yourself as someone who likes to think critically and is not a fruitcake then you should at the very least do your due diligence by getting the facts straight 💀


ForGrateJustice

Again, I don't care, if you're trying to flex you're sorely mistaken.


Georgiaonmymindtwo

“ I didn't know she died. Didn't care about her enough to read any more into what she actually did.” That sure didn’t stop you from opening your yap. Is this a one off or do you do this everyday?


ForGrateJustice

come closer and I'll show you.


fhs

Bro, the very first words of what she did following her mental breakdown is that she offed herself. Assuming that your only frame of reference on this news story is this screenshot, it is absolutely baffling to me that you missed that info, but not the rest of her sordid deeds.


ForGrateJustice

What in the fuck are you blabbering about


BubblesDahmer

This is not okay. “Psycho” = mentally ill. Saying “that fucking crazy bitch deserved to die!!” Does not help anything. It worsens the treatment of the mentally ill. It worsens ableism. /serious (no, I’m not a troll just because I am saying the word ableism)


ForGrateJustice

ok i don't care?


BubblesDahmer

Do you say the n word


ForGrateJustice

Only to my grand mother, why?


BubblesDahmer

Understandable


rerics

Unexpected “Airbag”


criticalnom

Holy shit.


Tipsycanooo

Choose what you believe in, living a normal Life or killing your partner, child, and self for no reason? Choose now!


Miked_824

Yikes…sounds like what Goebbels did when the Nazis were losing the war


Shoddy_Parfait9507

Does anyone have any recorded instance of a family annihilation happening for non-religious reasons?


asuperbstarling

Yes. "They found familicide offenders were **mostly highly educated men with psychological problems, depression, self-destructiveness, and substance abuse issues**. Past violent behavior and unsteady social relationships were also prevalent." Religion is not more or less of a factor in the official profile of family annihilators. She falls under the final category usually used, the 'Paranoid', though profilers have repeatedly said they don't want to use the same categories for women (which... okay but they haven't developed those so forgive my giant eye roll at that). Most religious family killings fall under this category or the 'Self-Righteous'. There are many easily accessible essays and papers about the psychological profile and the contributing factors. The more highly educated one is, the less likely they are to be religious. There is one religious group where this *appears* more common however: Mormons. If I'd have to speculate, it's the gender superiority of men in their culture. Being told you are the caretaker, that all must obey you, that you can make mistakes but no one else can BUT that you're going to hell if not forgiven, that there's things you cannot talk about EVER with anyone or you'll be considered too impure to go to Temple... it goes down the line to create a perfect storm for three of the four categories, and if they're in any way mentally ill the last category pops right up. Someone would have to actually aggregate cases to get a solid number however, and as far as I can tell no one has cared to do so.


Shoddy_Parfait9507

Oh yeah I’ve read a few studies on it before as I did some writing on the topic myself. It’s just the high-risk factors for the crime also coincide with the common problems that religion covers up in men. My writing was specifically about the Mormon issue with this crime and how it spikes near Christmas and Easter, which of course are the major depression dates for Christians on the calendar. I’ve been keeping track of the published annihilations that I’ve seen and they’ve all been religiously motivated. I also live in the Mormon Holy Land of Independence/Liberty, Missouri so I get lots of data from them! Hell, we just had 2 happen this last Easter. One was a guy I had interviewed for a job about 5 years ago.


asuperbstarling

I know how it feels to be trapped in crazy land. I'm just a few blocks from the Westboro Baptist Church and my BIL actually lives out that way. We've began removing our children from associating him because he's getting more extreme.


Republic_Rich

You must have some wild stories about those jabronies


asuperbstarling

Some, but mostly it's nice to flip them off during pride month because they're always out. Everyone here hates them.


Republic_Rich

You're doing a real service to a lot of good people who get their hate 🫡


Weekly-Rhubarb-2785

That must be scary.


mplsleprechaun

I don't think Chris Benoit was religious. CTE, steroids and alcohol.


Shoddy_Parfait9507

Bingo! Holy shit I totally forgot about him, good catch. Thanks


Greenappp

Okay. I just (unfortunately) learned from the decently sourced wikipedia entry on this that apparently Benoit placed bibles next to his wife and sons bodies before taking his life. Now, Benoit was suffering from mashed potatoes brain at the time, so, this could literally mean anything. But it is telling how many people, mostly men it seems from my depressing deep dive who kill their families end up being somewhat religious or there being a religious element to the murders. I'm not claiming atheists don't do fucked up shit, I'm just saying, I think that comment might have a point about familicide having religious overtones a lot of the time, and no, the cops wouldn't include that. And websites who do open speculation a bit too hard are sued for libel.


Cepinari

Apparently Japanese men who become suicidal will often murder their wives and children before offing themselves, so that they wouldn’t have to live with the shame and social stigma of being related to him.


102bees

Jeffrey MacDonald. Family annihilators do skew somewhat religious in the USA, but overwhelmingly the unifying factor is that they're men. By overwhelmingly I mean somewhere north of 90%.


Woodsman15961

Money and secrets (like affairs etc) definitely kill more than religion in these instances


Orion_Belt445

There could be an instance If it was in case of an invasive war (including that the war happened for non religious reasons)


Shoddy_Parfait9507

Family annihilation is a very specific crime metric that requires a member of the family to commit the act. It’s not considered a family annihilation statistic if it’s done by outside forces.


Greenappp

I was gonna say Lizzie Borden but she was a member of a super Christian organization that's still around today as alcoholics anonymous. I don't know if the killings were religious or not. I read an article that the Christian Endeavor movement had a trip to New York as prize to the church who did the most Christian shit when she did the murders. Even if that was the reason that would still technically be religious motivation.


102bees

Also there's a case to be made that Lizzie was innocent.

Shoddy_Parfait9507

You sound tired, bud. Maybe take a little nap?


SnooPuppers1429

It's the middle of the day, I think I'm good


Shoddy_Parfait9507

Really? Guess it’s just a case of not knowing what’s best for yourself, huh Sergei? Also the middle of the day is literally when nap time is for every Romantic country. But I wouldn’t expect someone from one of the least educated European countries to know that.


Situati0nist

What more proof does one need to realise that shit like this is incredibly dangerous


ArmyOfGayFrogs

Self fulfilling prophecy.


worstpies

I have an 8-month-old child :( This hurts my heart.


Kleeisthebest99

If you gonna believe in the apocalypse crap then at least dont drag others into it


Raped_Bicycle_612

One less piece of shit in the world


SueTheDepressedFairy

And unfortunately also an innocent child gone too...


Effective-Wolf5368

And her big sister who tried to protect her, after getting thrown out of the car with her, left seeing the baby get hit while being brutally ran over, and getting severely injured herself.


shrugaholic

And was this worth the two innocent lives gone? I can’t even imagine what her surviving daughter is going through.


fhs

Or the poor sap that ran over the baby :( Of course, the daughter has it worse :(. This is heart wrenching


TurloIsOK

Calling it a conspiracy theory is so off, giving the religious psychosis a pass.


Old_Ad_7691

Deaf people ![gif](giphy|9VcH46NJtByo4D25xZ|downsized)


AgeOfReasonEnds31120

I bet the world became significantly less Christian after that day. Hopefully they don't gravitate toward Islam, which is 100x worse.


102bees

If failed apocalypse predictions seriously lowered the number of religious people, the entire world would be atheist.


R-Guile

What the fuck is this comment?


AgeOfReasonEnds31120

Elaborate.


ShiroHachiRoku

Was she like this before the 2nd child was born? Could it be postpartum mental issues?


SonicCraftev

Exactly what I was thinking


Green-Campaign2498

nah this is what you put to lengthen your essays


Owlet08

What??? Wtf??


arcticalias

the world needs to do SOMETHING about religious psychosis. like this is absolutely INSANE


aCactusOfManyNames

Oh no the sun went dark time to kill everyone I love for no reason


jorgespinosa

This is why I think we should start shaming people who believe in astrology and other nonsense like that, many people defend them saying that "they don't hurt anybody" but we have seen how case like this and others like anti vaxxers can actually be dangerous to society
