So she's too incompetent and/or crazy to be held accountable for her actions, yet she's still allowed inside a voting booth. Hmm.

You don't have to be a genius to understand that she's almost certainly pro-fascist, and the fascist government are protecting their fellow domestic enemies.

The real fun question is: Can she still buy a gun?

I don't believe they are saying the person isn't mentally capable of wanting this person's kids taken away. They are just saying they don't believe they have enough to prove her intent was criminal. Aka the law needs to either be re-written to protect parents from absurd claims like this, or absurd claims like this will continue to be non-criminal offenses.

If there's no criminal charges, there's still civil charges. Pete should sue the shit out of her for reputational damage so she knows what butt sex feels like.
