In Paris, a family walked in silence to mourn their twelve-year-old daughter, asking only that politicians stay away from their grief. The child, known publicly as Lola, was found in a plastic box in her own courtyard — a horror that France could not contain within the boundaries of private sorrow. The suspect's immigration status transformed a family's wound into a national argument, reminding us how quickly the machinery of politics moves to claim the dead before the living have finished weeping.
