Iowa Teens Were Upset With A Spanish Teacher Over A Bad Grade. So They Killed Her In The Park With A Baseball Bat.
Story by Richard Burkard • Yesterday 9:36 AM
 
Two Iowa teenagers have pleaded guilty to murdering a high school Spanish teacher with a baseball bat to get even for bad grades.

Jeremy Goodale and Willard Miller changed their original “not guilty” pleas in separate morning hearings on April 18. Both were scheduled to go on trial later this week.

Both now admit they attacked Nohema Graber, 66, along a park trail in Fairfield on Nov. 2, 2021. Goodale told a judge that Miller brought the bat and used it on Graber.

Both teens dragged the teacher off the trail, Goodale continued. But when they noticed she was still alive, Goodale says he struck Graber to finish their mission.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The only thing we lack in Iowa legislatively is that we should have is the death penalty.

This is insanity. Were these children raised by wolves?
The abnormal is not the normal just because it is prevalent.

The psyche is hard to explain. Iowa has never totally lost the idea of community. Sometimes that can twist and turn dark. Glad I went to school in the 80's, because some of my classmates scared the heck out of me. You get to running and gunning without alot of oversight and I've seen teens get totally out of control just feeding off each other. Closest analogy is frat boy culture. It's not common here but it happens more than I'd like.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

As madam Clinton says, it takes a community to raise a child.  Of course, she never opined as to what the child would turn out to be if raised by a government.  But I think we may have examples here.
