PARIS, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Six teenagers go on trial behind closed doors on Monday, accused of involvement in the beheading of French history teacher Samuel Paty by a suspected Islamist in 2020 in an attack that struck at the heart of the country’s secular values.

The teacher had shown his pupils cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in a class on freedom of expression, angering a number of Muslim parents. Muslims believe that any depiction of the Prophet is blasphemous.

    The dude showed up at their school and found some 14 year olds that would tell him who the teacher was for money.

    He also told them he was just going to make the teacher apologize, not cut his fucking head off, my guy.

    Slow your roll with sticking some tricked dumb kids to prison for life over some shit they had no control over to begin with.
