French Woman Takes Cocaine To Police Department For Purity Testing

In today’s WTF news:

According to RT, the 45-year-old woman walked into a police station in Toulouse, France, at around 5 o’clock in the morning. She placed three bags on the reception counter.

Two contained cocaine powder and one held crack, according to Asia One. When asked why she would do such a thing, she replied that she wanted the officers to test the purity of her product because she “wanted to know if it was good quality as she didn’t want people to die of an overdose.”

Naturally, the woman was arrested for her request. She was scheduled to appear in court in January. Not much more to say after that.

In the lawless streets of Kabul and into the far outreaches of Afghanistan, Alex relentlessly hunts his friend’s killer—and…

Is True Crime Becoming Mainstream?

I’ve always had a slight obsession with true crime. For me, it’s usually the darker the better, which I appreciate sounds slightly messed up and frequently leaves me at a loose end at social gatherings.

But over the past year or so, thanks to documentaries like Making a Murderer, and TV shows such as the incredible The People VS OJ Simpson, it seems the rest of the world is catching up with mysterious and dangerous world of the criminally insane.

This sudden true crime mania is great news for all the people who, like me, have read a book on a particularly gruesome serial killer in a public place cleverly disguised by the sleeve of some mushy chick flick. I always said that if I was ever suspected of a crime, the police would take one look at my bookshelf and slap on the cuffs.
