17. I had never heard about the Louima-case. That's the most disgusting thing I've ever read.
You would expect that kind of police brutality and abuse in a third world-country, but apparently, it's happening in the US, also. But what really shocked me was this (from Wikipedia):

Public condemnation of the attack was not universal. Fox News pundit Sean Hannity was one of Louima's biggest critics during the trial, charging that he had fabricated the rape — calling him "lying Louima" — and using interviews with people alleging Louima had past sexual relationships with men to bolster the claim that he had sustained his injuries during a "gay sex act." Hannity stopped using the "Lying Louima" epithet after Volpe confessed to sodomizing Louima with the help of another officer.<20>

Makes me wants to puke. And this filthy piece of shit is still on the air? And O'Reilly is still on the air after the things he said about that kid that got kidnapped (forgot his name)? What's wrong with your media? Where's the public outrage?
