In an earlier post on Linguistic Cleansing I also mentioned the story about the 14 yrs old Sara who received 38 stabs of a cutter knife because she spoke French in Kapellen-op-den-Bos. Today a few Flemish newspapers bring a different story on the incident as it was reported earlier by as well the Flemish as the Francophone papers. Though is was treated more extensively in the French speaking part of the country.

'De Standaard' and 'Het Nieuwsblad' both quote  the spokesman of the Brussels court Jos Colpin . As to Colpin there is no prove that Sara was stabbed by the other girls. This does not mean that the whole incident was a haox. There should have been two confrontations. Only during the second confrontation the police was present and made a protocol. As for now I didn't find this story in the French press.

For a while i'm going to write exclusively  in English. I have had it with the Flemish nationalists. What's happening in Flanders recalls the dark Middle Ages when Flemish insurrectionists used the phrase 'Schild en Vriend' to select and kill French speaking soldiers in Bruges. The Bruges Matins or Brugse Metten was the nocturnal massacre of the French garrison in Bruges by the members of the local Flemish militia on 18 May 1302. The title of the massacre was an analogy to the Sicilian Vespers. The massacre has been compared to St. Bartholomew's Day massacre. This revolt led to the Battle of the Golden Spurs, which saw the Flemish militia defeat French troops on 11 July 1302.
