A bad day for the state of our Justice System.


I've been closely following the events surrounding the Haidl rape case.

Here's the story in a very short synopsis.

There's three boys who are rich and popular. There's a girl who has a bit of a "reputation". The kids are all about 16. The boys decide to get together with the girl, (allegedly) drug her drink, wait for her to pass out and rape the shit out of her. They brutally raped her, slapped her, inserted snapple and orange juice bottles into her along with a pool cue.
At one point they even jammed the pool cue so far into her vagina that they put their hand on her stomach to see if they could feel it.

Oh, and they video taped it all.

And then accidently returned the video to the video store.

Someone saw the tape, thought the boys were having sex with a corpse (this is how out of it she was) and immediately called the police.

Arrests were made, boys on trial. Nevermind the fact that the "main" boy, Greg Haidl, is the son of the Assistant Sherrif of Orange County. Haidl's attorney, the slimiest skeeze asshole of the world, Joe Cavallo, says the girl faked it, that she wanted it, that it's her fault, that she raped those boys, that she *deserved* it. All because she had a reputation for having a lot of sex. Their paid witnesses claimed she faked it. They claimed that she wasn't in a stupor and could even "do complex math".

These boys drugged, raped and assaulted this girl. Who, at one point, was so out of it that she urinated on herself while they rammed a pool cue up her ass. Never at one point, according to the video, did she try to resist. I don't care how hard you try to pretend to be "out of it", if someone shoves a pool cue up your ass with such force that you bleed, you're going to react. Unless you're drugged and can't.

I encourage you to read as much as you can about this case. Some of the best coverage is at the Orange County Weekly website.

Because you know what? The jury just declared a mistrial

That's right. A mother fucking mistrial.

This makes me want to bash some peoples heads in for real.

These rich little boys from richtown got off because they paid their witnesses and lied. LIED THROUGH THEIR TEETH. They brutally raped a girl and the only thing they have learned from it is that they might get caught but they won't get punished.

These fuckers don't deserve to enjoy life. This girl sure as hell won't. She won't be enjoying a healthy and happy sex life because she's had to endure this trauma that will be with her for the rest of her life. These boys will forget about it tomorrow. "Thank god that's over," they sigh and go on and drive their porsches and hang out on the beach living it up.

And society wonders why more people don't report their rapes. BECAUSE NOTHING EVER GETS DONE. Especially if you have enough money to pay everyone off.
