Good to know that some issues haven’t modified underneath a brand new president. NBC’s Regulation & Order: Particular Victims Unit continues to be right here to smear #MeToo critics and misremember the Kavanaugh accusations all within the identify of messed-up social justice. It’s simply as unhealthy because it sounds.
The January 21 episode “The Lengthy Arm of the Witness” begins with a courtroom case involving a school lady being raped on campus. Nevertheless, the choose within the listening to, Chip Gallagher (Josh Hamberg), dismisses this case as a “he stated, she stated” trial towards an “exemplary” white man from a disrespectful Latina pupil since she waited two months to report. From there, it’s not laborious to see the place this story is headed.
It seems that Gallagher is operating for New York Legal professional Normal and personally requested the case to make a press release to his constituents. Whereas the present by no means says which political occasion he’s from, by the best way he phrases his announcement in addition to claiming, “The Me Too pendulum has swung too far,” I doubt he voted for Biden final November. And the SVU crew is fast to level out how horrible, egocentric, and certain racist the person is.
Gallagher: Right this moment, I’m asserting my candidacy for New York State Legal professional Normal. There’s lawlessness within the streets. Our suburbs, our lifestyle, are underneath assault, and so are our sons. The MeToo pendulum has swung too far.
Kat: “Our sons”? Guess he does not care about our daughters.
Olivia: Not even slightly. All this man cares about is himself and his political profession. What’s his pedigree?
Rollins: Hudson U undergrad, Harvard Regulation, eight years as a Suffolk County Ada.
Carisi: He ever put his thumb on the dimensions when he was a prosecutor?
Rollins: Yeah, first 12 months, he had 4 excessive profile rape convictions, all Black and Latino defendants, after which he declined to prosecute a white faculty male in a “He stated, she stated.”
Fin: The previous boy community is powerful out east.
Kat: So is the corruption.
I believe there are literally lots of people who care about their sons being underneath assault from false accusations. I additionally assume there are lots of people who agree that the #MeToo pendulum has swung too far. Witness Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
In fact, Decide Gallagher seems to be a school rapist himself. In true leftist trend, Gallagher comes off because the fictional Kavanaugh determine who truly raped harmless faculty women many years in the past and obtained away with it since there have been no testimonies. However, the crew finds a number of ladies who come ahead claiming he both raped them or blackmailed them into intercourse. As earlier than, the ladies are portrayed as harmless victims and who might by no means be opportunistic liars even though these occasions occurred as much as three many years earlier.
Nevertheless, it doesn’t actually come to a detailed till ADA Isaiah Holmes (Wentworth Miller) testifies towards Gallagher. Apparently, he had truly attended faculty with Gallagher and eventually comes clear about these occasions thirty years prior. After listening to his testimony, Gallagher reveals his true colours to Holmes and provides “homophobic” to his blatant caricature of white male privilege and poisonous masculinity.
Gallagher: Isaiah, wanting slightly pasty. Attempting to get again at me as a result of I by no means tipped you for bussing my trays?
Isaiah: A minimum of you are constant, Chip. As soon as an ass, at all times an ass.
Gallagher: Stated the underside to the highest.
Isaiah: Excuse me?
Gallagher: You recognize, 30 years in the past, plenty of guys did not need even a closeted homo touching their meals, however I stood up for you. Now that you are a double token sucking and jiving your approach up the ladder, that is the way you repay me?
Isaiah: Did you’re feeling something watching April collapse on the stand?
Gallagher: She obtained what she wished that evening.
Isaiah: She wished to be raped?
Gallagher: It is a frequent ladies’s fantasy, Holmes, not {that a} faggot such as you would know what a girl needs…
It’s laborious to see how Regulation & Order could be a “ripped from the headlines” sequence when its tales are so cartoonishly fictional. Throw in allusions to a false story from over two years in the past and we get an episode that’s just about sixty minutes of lies. Maybe it ought to begin airing on CNN.
