Bari Weiss, thanks for calling attention to Sarah Halimi's horrific torture and murder. But "Her killer will go free because he smoked weed" is inaccurate. She deserves better. Truth and solutions. Marc Weitzmann got it right: "The confusion around these murderous acts seems to come from the need for the families and the authorities alike to qualify the facts according to recognizable categories. A politically motivated terror attack, for instance, is one category of act. But what we’re facing here, it seems, is something much worse—a pure, naked impulse of hate of a psychotic/mystical nature that seems to travel like a virus from one killer to the next." I'm not far from where Sarah Halimi was murdered. I hope someone organizes a (peaceful) protest. I'll be there.
