She has form for this, back to 2012:
Lowell exchanged messages with an undercover FBI agent posing as a hitman and offered about $700 to $900 and jewelry in exchange for the murder of a person wearing fur. She wrote in a message, according to court documents, will pay you after you kill the person who is wearing fur at the above mentioned time and time of the year. You need to bring a gun that has a silencer on it and that can be easily concealed in your pants pocket or coat. Do not wear anything that even looks even remotely like fur.
...
She said she wanted the victim to be older than 12, preferably older than 14, but said anyone over 12 would be OK, according to the FBI. Lowell said she would be at the scene with anti-fur documents and, I plan on staying after the hit for reasons of benefit to the movement. And think being caught would actually benefit me personally.
...
Gaughan said in her order that the forensic psychologist found Lowell was incompetent to stand trial, based on mental disease or defect. She wrote that, On January 11, 2013, Leslie Powers, Forensic Psychologist, issued a report stating that the defendant remained incompetent due to mental disease or defect, but did not pose a danger to herself, the community, or property.
...
Lowell was arrested in January 2019 and charged with felonious assault in University Heights, Ohio, records show. She was indicted on the charge on February 5. The case is still pending, according to Cuyahoga County court records.

This isn't the first time she's done this
At least the second time with a knife, this thing needs to be rehabilitated for a very long time
All because of fur, turns out both times she's used a knife the victim had fake fur on
Somebody's very very sick
