Cultural Enrichment in France

The Daily Mail reports: "Algerian woman 'raped, tortured and murdered 12-year-old girl then dumped her in a trunk after dispute with the girl's mother' in case that has rocked France." From the lede:

    An Algerian woman raped, tortured and murdered a 12-year-old girl after a dispute with the child's mother, a court heard today in a case that has shocked France.

    Dahbia Benkired, 27, is accused of luring Lola Daviet to her death, partially severing her head before suffocating her, after the girl's mother refused to give her a pass key to an apartment block.

    Investigators say Benkired slashed the schoolgirl with scissors and a box cutter then bound her up in duct tape, including around her face, leading to her death by asphyxia.

Benkired is a reminder that there are monsters out there, and they look human even if they are not. Her expression of regret should be disregarded. Killers like her don't feel regret or sorrow over what they did to their victims because they are incapable of such feelings. Her attempts to play on the court's sympathy by claiming she was abused by relatives and neighbors as a child should also be ignored because it is irrelevant: she didn't kill young Lola because she (the killer) had been abused as a child but because she was angry at Lola's mother and wanted to make Lola's mother miserable. And all over a pass key. 

    Also:

It was reported at the time of the killing that she was was the subject of an expulsion order, prompting stinging criticism from the right and one of the most bitter political debates in recent memory.    

It is a lot easier to keep them out than to get rid of them once they are within a country. The vampire myths teach a valuable lesson here: don't invite evil into your house (or country, in this case).

    1. They have the liberty to be mugged by Eastern Europeans, Middle-Easterners, North Africans, or Black Africans.
