Justice System Fails Again: Morgan Geyser Escapes Justice
Submitted by MAGA
Posted 48 minutes ago
The recent escape of Morgan Geyser, one of the infamous figures in the Slender Man stabbing case, has sparked outrage and renewed discussions about how our justice system treats youth offenders.
Geyser, who, along with Anissa Weier, was involved in the brutal stabbing of their classmate Payton Leutner a decade ago, made headlines once again after cutting off her monitoring bracelet and fleeing a group home in Wisconsin.
She was located within 24 hours in Illinois, prompting serious questions about the effectiveness of her supervised release and the implications of mental health considerations in serious crimes.
As a reminder, Geyser and Weier attacked Leutner when they were just 12 years old, believing they were fulfilling the commands of a fictional character. After a gruesome attack that left Leutner with near-fatal injuries, Geyser and Weier were placed in mental health facilities instead of facing traditional criminal consequences.
While some advocates argue that these young women should be treated with compassion due to their mental health issues, many are concerned about the safety of society at large. Geyser's most recent escape underscores the reckless nature of her previous actions and raises alarms about her ability to reintegrate into society safely.
Payton Leutner, the innocent victim of this horrifying crime, has worked hard to rebuild her life after suffering immense trauma. Her bravery as a survivor stands in stark contrast to the leniency shown to her attackers.
Public sentiment, particularly among conservatives, leans toward holding offenders accountable for their actions, regardless of age or mental health status. Many believe that the lenient treatment of Geyser and Weier sends the wrong message to potential offenders and victims alike.
The Waukesha County District Attorney's Office has already indicated its intention to revoke Geyser’s conditional release, illustrating a commitment to public safety over misguided compassion.
As the community grapples with this unsettling reminder of past horrors, it becomes clear that proper safeguards must be put in place to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. The justice system must prioritize the safety of the community while balancing the complexities of mental health—a challenge that will require thoughtful and decisive action.
The time has come for lawmakers to revisit policies affecting juveniles in violent crimes and ensure that victims like Payton Leutner are not sidelined in conversations of mental health and rehabilitation.
As we watch this case unfold, one thing is certain: the path forward must not only recognize the severity of the crime but also aim to fortify safeguards against future tragedies.
