Only in Salem

This would only happen in Salem. Two Wiccans have been arrested for mutilating raccoon corpses and leaving gthem on the doorsteps of two fortunetellers who they felt were charlatans. Yeah, pot, kettle, black.

Now the lone witness, a former roommate, had his apartment broken into and ransacked.

The lead witness in Salem’s raccoon mutilation case returned home yesterday afternoon to find his apartment ransacked, with valuables - including his crystal balls - gone.

You know what they say: People with crystal balls shouldn’t throw stones.

P.S. I love the fact that in this article, we get the equivalent of the “religion of peace” meme, but about Wicca this time.

“There’s probably some internal issues within the Wiccan community,” Sean Wynne [the lawyer for one of the suspects] said. “I can tell you that based on research, that the Wiccan community does not condone any blood sacrifice or the harming of anyone else. I would say this is probably not related to that. There may be a bastardization of it.”

Sure thing. Right.
