Mother Slits Son’s Throat

Police recovered a 13-inch knife that they believe was used to kill the boy, said Bernie Weisenfeld, spokesman for the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office. A legally registered handgun also was found in the home.

Two points. First, my initial reaction is that I hope she dies a horrible, violent, painful death at least equal to what her son went through. Her son Jared was 6 years old. They also have a 9 year old daughter.

Second, why mention the gun at all? It wasn’t the weapon of choice, it had nothing to do with the crime, the fact that it’s legally owned doesn’t indicate that these are people with criminal records. Why not say, “A legally owned chainsaw was found in the garage,” or “A legally owned dishwasher was also found in the kitchen?”

Perhaps the journo responsible for penning this piece was convinced that the gun was present in the home and shooting out it’s mind control rays, which made this woman use a 13-inch chef’s knife to murder her young son the moment she took her tinfoil hat off and gave in to the power of the dark side.

“A murder happened! She slit his throat! There was a GUN IN THE HOME!”
