Mich. 'Crucible' instructor accused of witchcraft

 

FERNDALE, Mich. (AP) - A man assigned ``The Crucible'' in an adult education English class doused his teacher with a nonflammable liquid and threatened to burn her as a witch, police said.

 

Darin Najor, 20, ran from the classroom after the attack Sept. 11 and was sent for psychiatric evaluation after telling police ``he was trying to kill the witch by pouring holy water over her head,'' Detective Ken Denmark said.

 

He was arrested Monday and scheduled for arraignment this month on misdemeanor charges of assault and battery.

 

The day before the dousing, Najor had asked the teacher whether she believed in witchcraft, police said. She told him she did not, calling Arthur Miller's play based on the 1692 Salem witch trials a metaphor for unjust persecution.

 

``The suspect threw his homework papers on the floor and declared it was all blasphemy,'' Denmark said. ``The next day he came up behind her chanting what sounded like religious verses while she was working at her desk.''

 

Court officials had no indication Najor had an attorney, and The Associated Press could not find a telephone number for him.

 

Police did not identify the teacher.

 

This sounds pretty loony, but then again, if I just douse you with water, how exactly is that assault? Unless you're allergic to water that is...

 

Oh wait the Monty Python quote!

 

Peasant: She's a witch! She turned me into a newt!

Knight: a newt?

Peasant: umm...I got better.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... religion is funny. What else could turn normal people into babbling idiots?

 

I refer of course to the teachers. All religion is witchcraft if you look at it from a coherant angle.

 

At least it keeps me fed with no end of amusing stories like this one ;)

 

:D

Turning people into babbling idiots, especially dangerous ones, is not funny. Don't give monkey a gun, simple as that. If you do - see: WTC, Taliban regime and Muslim extremists pretty much everywhere.

Actually, when I saw Chimpys post I thought...WHAT THE HELL? We have a shared belief? :D

 

I think we just like winding each other up in a friendly way...we very rarely truly argue.

 

He's my cute bunny boy offline :P

The love that dare not speak its name! :D
