Story here. Excerpt:

'WASHINGTON (AP) — Authorities say a woman has been charged in the stabbing of a 20-year-old NPR intern as she walked to work in northwest Washington.

Police say 24-year-old Melodie Brevard of Washington was arrested shortly after the attack about 9:30 a.m. Wednesday at Seventh and I streets in Chinatown. She has been charged with assault with intent to kill.

D.C. police spokesman Lt. Nick Breul says three people restrained Brevard after the attack until officers arrived. He says officers responded quickly because they had been investigating a suspicious package nearby.'

My goodness, this cannot be right... a woman just wouldn't do something so random and violent! Uh-huh. My guess is she will get "psychiatric attention" and never face criminal charges.

NPR is most definitely Feminist Public Radio. The radio network where women can do no wrong and men hardly do anything right.

I wonder what section of the patriarchy NPR will try to blame?

Research will be done to find any man in her background... husband, boyfriend, ex, father, etc. He is an abuser and is the root cause of the crime.

If, by chance, there's no man in her background she was abused by not getting the proper support and nurturing from the men that should have been there, and by her father who obviously did not provide the proper amount of financial support. Thus they (any or all) are the root cause of the crime.

This is a multiple-choice question and there are no wrong answers.
