GUILTY WI - Slenderman Case Morgan Geyser & Anissa Weier Sentenced to Mental Hospitals

[NopeNopeNope]

I said it a few comments ago, but imo it's not the people, it's the reporting. The first article I read didn't identify Morgan by name, just as the "Slender Man stabber" and then started talking about Chad. I thought Morgan was now using the name Chad. Then another article names Morgan and Charley, but not Chad. Now we have three people involved, as far as I understood it, because of the lack of consistency in reporting.

Imo, it has nothing to do with the gender of the people involved and its down to news sites either not wanting to acknowledge peoples gender identities correctly, or just not making sure their facts are correct before sending stories out onto the Web

I know what point you’re trying to make but you have it skewed. Cis= male at birth identifying as a man. Or female at birth identifying as a woman.

Yes. This group accounts for most mass murders.

The number of trans mass shooters/ killers is actually quite low.

Regardless of how anyone feels about the trans community, the numbers don’t lie. It’s mostly straight men killing people.

This very sick person is dangerous but them being trans is irrelevant.

@PromotedPawn, you said, "This very sick person is dangerous but them being trans is irrelevant."
Exactly. Please, everyone, let's not bring up trans again, OK? That has nothing to do with the crime.

Wisconsin seeks to block Morgan Geyser's conditional release after escape from group home

Wisconsin authorities have asked a state court to revoke the conditional release of Morgan Geyser, the woman who in 2014 almost killed her sixth grade classmate in the name of horror villain Slender Man and escaped from a group home earlier this week.

WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin authorities have asked a state court to revoke the conditional release of Morgan Geyser, the woman who in 2014 almost killed her sixth grade classmate in the name of horror villain Slender Man and escaped from a group home earlier this week.

I watched the body cam footage and I think she needs to remain institutionalized. She has enough capacity to be deceitful and manipulative and caring for her friend. She knows that she's done something terrible (re: her request that LE "google"her). I don't think she's necessarily...sinister...but I do think she is very mentally unwell and should be kept from society.

The amount of online vehemence thrown at this woman for escaping has been insane. What she did was clearly wrong, but people on social media are making her sound like some sort of serial killer with hundreds of bodies instead of a mentally ill person who killed someone while operating under a delusion. I don’t think this deserved to be a highlighted topic on reddit and other international news and I think the amount of reporting has less to do with the murder and more to do with existing societal biases.

If a person was mentally ill enough to try to kill their "friend", then is given the gift of re joining society after only 11 years (give or take), but instead chooses to cut off their ankle monitor and run away, how is their mental health while on the run? Are there medications not being taken? Psyciatric appts being missed? Is the original target in danger? Is anyone else in danger? Is Charley in danger? Is EVERYONE else in the vicinity in danger?

I think the anger is at the system as much as the person. Morgan stabbed her "friend" 19 times, and because Payton had the audacity to not die, I believe Morgon got a lighter sentence. And Morgan obviously has a problem with living with rules. It's scary to think a person capable of stabbing someone 19 times, intending to kill, was let into society when they obviously were not capable of managing it, so may still be capable of stabbing someone else based on some other delusion.

People react to fear with anger, IMO. So no surprise to me that many are angry about the situation. JMO.

Morgan Geyser was not found criminally liable. Basically, she plead guilty, but under the plea agreement, it was more like the insanity defense. So since she wasn't held criminally liable, it makes sense it would be the health department calling the shots. The group home is likely one for the severely mentally ill rather than criminals.

MOO.

Weird that the check on her came back "criminal record". Must be because since she pled guilty, it's still guilty of homicide, not not guilty by reason of insanity. So criminally liable, but with a sentence to a mental hospital, maybe?

I don't know the nuances of criminally liable vs not. I can just go by what the media reports, unless we have a lawyer who wants to weigh in.

Morgan's victim survived.

Morgan's victim survived.

I meant "attemped first degree homicide" I must have overwritten it somehow.

But guilty of the crime accused of.

MG certainly came across as unhinged in the footage I saw.
