French 'Mother' Kills Teacher in Front of Class

The killer was a, er...French person,...um, a resident of the French town...a Frenchman...French citizen, ummmm....

 

Selwyn Duke   "It was headlining AOL on Friday: a story about a woman stabbing a schoolteacher to death in front of a class of five and six-year-olds.  The gruesome and bloody crime occurred in the southern French town of Albi; the victim was a 34-year-old mother of two.

"But a certain bit of information is conspicuously missing from virtually all the reportage.  We’re told the killer was under the impression that the teacher had accused her five-year-old daughter of theft.  We’re told she had a history of child abuse and “severe psychiatric problems.”  We’re told she’s 47.  And we’re told she’s a she.  But her name is nowhere to be found, and information about her background is...well, you’ll see.
...
" ...The killer, however, is almost universally identified as “the mother.”  But I was sure I knew what the big secret was.  Those tow-headed Norwegians are at it again."

... "I know it doesn’t roll off the tongue when doing negative pieces quite like “Christian,” “conservative,” or “Tea Party” does.  But no one ever said journalism would be simple and easy, especially since it is mainly practiced by the simple-minded of easy virtue."
