Investigators: Teacher Passed Failing Kids For Torching Car
**HOUSTON -- ** A high school chemistry teacher is accused of enlisting two students to torch her car.
|
Prosecutors said the Houston-area teacher offered passing grades to the failing students if they stole her car and burned it -- so she could get the insurance money. The Chevy Malibu was burned on May 27 -- the last day of school. The teacher reported the theft that day. The car was found this month in a wooded area.

It's hard to believe that someone could be as stupid as this teacher. She enlisted three loser high school students and expected her plan to stay a secret?!? Torching her property is something she could easily have done herself. There would be no one to dispute her story.

Sure it looks like the three of them have a combined IQ under 100, but they might have just watched Animal House when Otter suggests D-Day steal Flounder's brother's car after they trashed it on the roadtrip to get insurance money so Flounder can get him a new car. :rolleyes: One of the idiots in the pic is named "Darwin."

A splendid choice; his obviously ape-like features (and behavior) constitute some of the best circumstantial evidence in favor of Darwin's theory of evolution one could ever hope to encounter (as I'm sure even his most fervent opponents here at OD would have to acknowledge; for that matter, don't some of them refer to Negroid miscreants as "apes" too?)
Personally, just comparing the physiology and playful behavior patterns of otters and seals (and noting the existence of sea otters), has always made it difficult for me to see the basic Darwinian premise as anything but more-or-less on the right track.

Is it really arson if the car's owner grants you permission to burn it?

No, it's not. Of course, it may have been owned by a lender....

But defrauding the insurance company is one of the crimes here.

My error. Looking at the picture, none of them looked like any teacher I ever had.
