I'm so not fucking surprised that the allegation against Julian Assange (the founder of Wikileaks) issued at some point yesterday.

Were dropped today.

Just 'cause you know, it's not like anyone has anything against the man (he's never done anything that anyone would find objectionable) and the easiest crime to pin on a guy that don't actually have to be true, because everyone knows those silly girl cry "rape" just to get back at whoever supposedly wronged them (/sarcasm).

I guess it's easier to tarnish a guy's rep by calling rape, rather than espionage (which would make sense given the circumstances), but rape allegation can also be "cleaned" away much more easily.

It pisses me off that a crime that hurts 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men is so cavalierly thrown around in this manner.

Thus, damage done to Assange, the accusers vanish and cannot be found. Meanwhile, out here in the real world, real people who are affected by this crime will be taken less seriously.

Gah. I hope that the prosecutor investigates who leveled the charges and sees if there's anything there they can charge them with, because that's just not okay to do and then pull.

V and Justice

V: Ah, I was forgetting that we are not properly introduced. I do not have a name. You can call me V. Madam Justice...this is V. V... this is Madam Justice. hello, Madam Justice.

Justice: Good evening, V.

V: There. Now we know each other. Actually, I've been a fan of yours for quite some time. Oh, I know what you're thinking...

Justice: The poor boy has a crush on me...an adolescent fatuation.

V: I beg your pardon, Madam. It isn't like that at all. I've long admired you...albeit only from a distance. I used to stare at you from the streets below when I was a child. I'd say to my father, "Who is that lady?" And he'd say "That's Madam Justice." And I'd say "Isn't she pretty."

V: Please don't think it was merely physical. I know you're not that sort of girl. No, I loved you as a person. As an ideal.

Justice: What? V! For shame! You have betrayed me for some harlot, some vain and pouting hussy with painted lips and a knowing smile!

V: I, Madam? I beg to differ! It was your infidelity that drove me to her arms!

V: Ah-ha! That surprised you, didn't it? You thought I didn't know about your little fling. But I do. I know everything! Frankly, I wasn't surprised when I found out. You always did have an eye for a man in uniform.

Justice: Uniform? Why I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. It was always you, V. You were the only one...

V: Liar! Slut! Whore! Deny that you let him have his way with you, him with his armbands and jackboots!

V: Well? Cat got your tongue? I though as much.

V: Very well. So you stand revealed at last. you are no longer my justice. You are his justice now. You have bedded another.

Justice: Sob! Choke! Wh-who is she, V? What is her name?

V: Her name is Anarchy. And she has taught me more as a mistress than you ever did! She has taught me that justice is meaningless without freedom. She is honest. She makes no promises and breaks none. Unlike you, Jezebel. I used to wonder why you could never look me in the eye. Now I know. So good bye, dear lady. I would be saddened by our parting even now, save that you are no longer the woman I once loved.

*KABOOM!*
