A tip ‘o the hate to the two readers who sent me this story.
A 14-year-old boy was ordered held without bail after he was charged with killing a 24-year-old teacher, whose body was found behind a Massachusetts high school early Wednesday.
Philip Chism was cuffed soon after the beloved math teacher, Colleen Ritzer, was found dead in a patch of woods near Danvers High School shortly after midnight, sources said.
Investigators found Ritzer after they discovered traces of blood in a second-floor bathroom inside the school, Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett said.

14-year-old Philip Chism was reported missing hours before investigators found the body of Colleen Ritzer, 24, behind Danvers High School late Tuesday. He was later charged with her murder.
"She was a very, very respected, loved teacher," Blodgett told reporters. "It's a terrible tragedy for the entire Danvers community."

Blodgett said police began searching for the teacher after they were alerted that the woman never returned home from work and wasn't answering her cell phone.
Chism - who plays on the schools junior varsity soccer team - was also reported missing earlier in the day, when he never came home after school.

Investigators, including representatives from the state's Medical Examiner's office, pull the body of Colleen Ritzer, 24, from the woods behind Danvers High School on Wednesday.
The teen was arrested after Topsfield police spotted him a few miles away from where Ritzer's body was found.
Officials said the accused killer was walking against traffic on Route 1 when he was collared.
"We are all terrified," Caitlin McBride, a junior at the school, told the Boston Globe. "It's very scary. No one will ever look at this school the same way anymore."

Colleen Ritzer, a 24-year-old math teacher, was found in a patch of woods behind Danvers High School late Tuesday.
Students were notified by text message that the school would be closed for the day.
"I didn't know what to do," another student, Kendall Meehan, told the paper. "It's all very scary. It's not something you see around here."
Authorities did not disclose how Ritzer was killed, or reveal a possible motive for the murder.
Mary Duffy, who lives next door to the woman's family, told the Boston Herald that she knew Ritzer - a 2011 graduate of Assumption College, where she earned a bachelors degree in mathematics with a minor in psychology - her whole life.
Colleen Ritzer, 24, was found dead late Tuesday after investigators found blood in a school bathroom.
"She always wanted to teach math," Duffy told the paper. "She was a quiet, pleasant girl with many friends. She was just like the ideal daughter. She is. This family is a family of America. They are the ideal family. They are friendly; they are loving, close."

The enthusiastic teacher used her Twitter account to discuss homework assignments with students. On her profile, she described herself as a "math teacher often too excited about the topics I'm teaching."
"I just remember seeing her in the hallway and she always had a smile...and she was just an amazing person," Megan Papagelis, a Danvers High School graduate, told WBZ-AM. "It's just shocking to see that this could happen. Unbelievable."
The 24-year-old math teacher's body was found in the woods behind Danvers High School, about 20 miles north of Boston.
Prayers go out to Mrs.Ritzers family and friends she was a great teacher #RestInPeace

Chism's mother wiped away tears as her son was arraigned as an adult on murder charges in Salem District Court.. The teen's family had recently moved to the area from Tennessee.
The new DHS slogan should be "Find something good in every day" in honor of a down to earth math teacher, Colleen Ritzer #DanversStrong

Ritzer was the second teacher allegedly killed by a student in the U.S. this week. A 12-year-old boy is accused of fatally shooting a middle school teacher in Sparks, Nev., on Monday.

He probably wanted to have sex with her and she refused so he beat her to death.

Whites just must not refuse a nigger anything.
If Obama had a son . . .
It's good to offer prayers and condolences for this lovely Danvers teacher's family but where's justice? What do we learn from this? Why did this kid do this? Was it because he's a black racist? Does he listen to haters like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan or the Black Panthers? Why isn't anyone asking these obvious questions? Why don't we have a death penalty in Mass? Why don't teachers have guns or pepper spray for protection?
Mulatto piece of shit and his coal burning mammy need to be eradicated.
She was probably a spoiled white bitch and got what she deserved. Cut that bitch up! Hahaha.
Killed her in the bathroom? Hmm. Clearly, then, it wasn't the all-too-common "robbery gone wrong" that so many Sons of Obama suffer. It was a "bowel movement gone horribly, horribly wrong".
Who could ever have guessed? It could have happened to anyone.
We must redouble our efforts to solve the National Disgrace of Disparate Toilet Impact.
What makes me sad is that I know she was one of those people who want to give back and give a hand up to the downtrodden. She wanted to give back to the world.
She probably gave him extra attention because she figured he was an oppressed minority. Mistake number one. She knew nothing of black culture except what she saw on tv.
This woman has no idea of the rage
young black males feel towards white women and the dangerous part is that boys/men often act on that. Young black males feel that white women are easy prey and that they will not defend themselves. The first thing you must establish is that you fully understand the potential of bodily harm and that you intend to give as good as you get.
Tell me that the murderer has either been in a juvenile detention center or a mental hospital. He's been in a highly controlled environment with a strong hierarchy.
When people who've been in jails/prisons into contact with good, kind people they have a need to destroy them because it's been beaten into them at compassion is a weakness.
They can't handle that someone would willingly and freely help them. They hate people who are generous and open handed because they are such takers and low life thieves
Must have been one of those
random attacks that just so happen to Whites and Asians.
Have you ever noticed that blacks don't get randomly attacked?
go look up the name Ritzer. Most Ritzers are 100% jews!
He killed a Jew. Good riddance!!
According to her Funeral announcement, Colleen Ritzer was Catholic.
