Some of my more faithful readers may recall my favorite 'SVU' episode, "Mean." First aired in 2004, it told of a trio of mean girls, who murder one of their own, Emily Sullivan. The reason was because she hooked up with ringleader Brittany O'Malley's (Kelli Garner) boy friend.
The story pressed all my buttons, because, as it turns out, Emily was being mean to a cruelly overweight girl named Agnes Linksy (Lindsay Hollister). In the sense of justice, Emily got what she deserved--for being mean to Agnes.
Now, most watching this episode, would say "Well, those are teen-aged girls, for you. This would never happen with boys."
Au contraire, my dears. It has!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On the 27th of this month, which will be fifty years--after the Summer of '69, which included the Manson Murders, the Moon Landing, and Woodstock!!!!!!!!!!!--John McCabe, a 15-year-old boy (roughly my age, though slightly older) was murdered, like Emily, for the same reason.
So these three are all winners of this week's Raving Queen Bitch Of The Week Award!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
John was a good, Catholic kid, and apparently was never mean to anyone. He went to a Knights Of Columbus dance, in his hometown of Tewkesbury, Massachusetts. At the party, he talked, but not much more, to a local girl, Marla Shiner. At the dance were three teen cohorts--Edmund Brown, Michael Ferreira, and Walter Shelley. After the dance, because he talked to Marla, the boys accosted John, and killed him.
The body was left in Lowell, Massachusetts, and the case went cold for decades.
They drove John around in the trunk of a car, duck taped his mouth and eyes, and roped his neck, so, if he struggled, it would strangle him, Very much like Emily Sullivan in "Mean." Only John did not deserve it.
The perps were all losers. Ferreira stayed local, but the other two never got further than New Hampshire. Big, fucking deal!
Brown had kept a pact for decades. In 2011, he came forward and the bitch trio was arrested. However, I am not sure justice was done. Because they were young at the time of the crime, Brown was charged with manslaughter, Ferreira will face juvenile charges of murder, and perjury to the court. Only Walter Shelley will get a life sentence.
You know, if Ferreira and Brown are walking free now, they better watch out someone does not gun them down. In fact, I hope they do. It would be justifiable homicide.
Justice for John. And don't tell me you are sorry for what you did.
Because if you were, you fucks, you would not have done it in the first place, or kept quiet for decades. And don't tell me leopards change spots, because these surely did not.
See? Boys can be just as evil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Justice for John!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
