CULTURE: Gang of Rapists Terrorize the Netherlands With HIV

As if conservative America didn’t already view the Netherlands as a lair of sin and depravity, along comes a story that can only be described as an abomination of inhumanity... there aren't enough adjectives to describe how fucking sick this is. According to ABC News Online, a gang of Dutch men have been accused of luring gay men to orgies where the victims were then drugged, raped, and injected with their own HIV-infected blood.

After four victims came forward to Dutch police, the gang -- consisting of three HIV-positive gay men -- was arrested along with a fourth scumfuck who supplied them with large amounts of GHB and Ecstasy to aid in the rapes. Mr. Ronald Zwarter, the police chief of Groningen, where the rapes allegedly occurred, said:

Since the arrests were made, eight more victims have come forward. Numerous public figures in the Netherlands have spoken out against the crimes:

Normally this is the point in a story where I’d crack a joke, or post a zany YouTube clip, but there's nothing here to laugh at. I hate condoms as much as the next guy, but they've become a necessary part of life; as much as I typically advocate sexual freedom in all its splendor, there’s just no excuse here, none whatsoever. This casual disregard for human life is just so inhumanly narcissistic and cruel. That this has happened at all is simply terrifying, like some real life twist taken from Hostel or Saw, only far, far worse.

What's worse is they'll only go to jail for up to 16 years.
They're making it out to seem that only gay men can transmit AIDS. Which is absolutely absurd.
But if the media says it's true, then it must be.

What is there to say really....this is fucking horrible.

Injecting someone with a deadly virus is murder.

They should all get life. Simple.

Damn. That's fucked up.

This sound like something out of a Dennis Cooper novel.

I concur, totally. First degree murder, to boot.

Thank You for your candor in reporting this unbelievably sad, sick story. Thank You for framing it in the wretched light that it deserves.

wow, shit.......thats just fucked up..... Damn

the law in the netherlands may be different, but i believe it's only murder if someone dies. this would probably be something like attempted murder, i think...

either way, in principle i agree...they deserve the deepest darkest hell we can manufacture

vile

It's a shame that the gay community is going to suffer the brunt of this,

Prejuduce-Generalization-Fest '07!

I think that anyone who pushes any anti-gay shit after this should be charged to the full extent of whatever hatecrime laws they have there.

As for the story itself... You couldn't make up something this fucked up.

One thing I don't understand is the motives behind the druggings and rapings. Weren't the victims there for a gay orgy to begin with? What the fuck is the point of the druggings and rapings? All this simply to assure their victims get HIV?!

Messed.

Fucking messed.

another horrible story to add to the books of humanity, which is getting larger everyday

Hooray for People!

Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!

the human being in me (who's half Dutch, to boot) finds this absolutely deplorable and thinks they should get more sever punishment.

the evil genius bent on world domination and the sewing of utter chaos and destruction through all the world and the shattering of the very foundations of civilization in me finds this horrendous and shameful. and lame.

both sides of me agree that Pure Sex™ requires consent in all aspects of the act from all parties involved. so they can go fornicate themselves with an iron stick. with spikes.

*chortle*

I agree this is murder, because they might die now, and they raped their victims.

This is disgusting.

Don't actually see this happening anywhere...

*grabs law books*

Dutch law classifies this as TWO separate crimes: First of all Rape, punishable by up to 12 years in prison. And secondly Premeditated Aggravated Assault also punishable by up to 12 years in prison.This is PER CASE. So far there have been 8 reported (though the police fear there may be many, many more ).

If the prosecution play their cards right they can send these guys away pretty much forever. Since there is also an obvious mental disorder here, as well as danger of repeated behavior they can also be sentenced to become "Wards of the State" (TBS in dutch). This means the basically get committed to a mental health facility for 2 years after they have served their jail time, but this can then be extended by four years (and extended again EVERY four years there after) without a trial. Strictly based on them being found by their wardens to be mentally fit to return to society. Which i hope will NEVER happen.

Since both of them are terminally ill i think the only thing they have to look forward too is a slow painful death behind bars.

If there was a worse fate I would wish it upon them. But i think this is the closest to justice we can get in this world.

The fact the human can do something like this to another human makes me sick. Why can't everyone just live at peace with one anoither and not start shit? I understand it's a lot to ask, there's a lot of fucked up people in the world, but what makes a person do this?

People like this should be treated as murderers, because that's what the they are. I believe they should get the same kind of sentance that any other rapist, murderer or whatever should get. Convict them and with no hesitation shoot them. Don't waste money feeding, clothing, and keeping them alive in jail for however long. Just so they can get out and do it again. Just kill them on the spot and save the tax dollars. People like this do not deserve life.

Hopefully things will change soon enough.

They're going to end up in prison, where they can continue doing just what they've been doing. They're probably looking forward to it.

In light of recent articles, should there be a 'sick shit' section added to the newswire?

Newswire stories that make you go WTF?

What I find intriguing, aside from this story being just horrendous beyond belief, is that, while you admit that the story's content is too disturbing to be of any entertainment value (with which I agree), and your report is "soley" informative, that you do use this incredibly sad and horrific tragedy to promote your personal politcal agenda:

Somehow, I fail to recognize the relation of this terribly, terribly disturbing news of a gang of gay, dutch, rapists, who inject their HIV infected blood into drugged victims, with "conservative America." Please explain. You're sensitive to the fact that it's too wretched to be used to poke fun, but not too bad to be used for taking a shot at some barely defined, neo-political ideology? Riiiight.

My suggestion, in order to avoid this very simple dilemna in future "News" reports, is what we refer to in the scholarly world as "Logic 101" and "Introduction to Critical Thinking" - they are classes being taught at a university near you. Take advantage of it.
