2 men guilty of injecting 14 with HIV

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - A Dutch court convicted two men Wednesday for attempting to infect 14 victims with HIV in a bizarre sex case.

The Groningen District Court found the two guilty of severe assault for injecting semiconscious men with HIV-infected blood at sex parties between January 2006 and May 2007.

Prosecutors had argued that the two men, along with a third who was acquitted of major charges, had drugged the 14 victims and intentionally infected them.

But in Wednesday's ruling, judges said while the victims all had HIV, it could not be proven that they were infected by the injections because they willingly took part in orgies where gay men had unprotected sex.

The suspects were not charged with attempted murder since Dutch courts have held that HIV is a chronic illness rather than an inevitably fatal one.


Okay, wait, WHAAATT???
First of all, I have to hand it to those judges for not charging those guys with attempted murder, even though I think it's pretty much been proven that HIV kills you eventually. Way to go. Second of all, I have to hand it to those guys for being so crazy. I mean, that's just really crazy. But I think anyone who participates in massive sex parties, especially of the European nature, have to be pretty unstable to begin with. They were probably all just one step away from injecting themselves with a fatal illness anyway. And who knows? Maybe they did all have AIDS. Orgies will do that do you.
I mean, wow. Our country is so behind the times. Why don't we have cases like this?

You're probably wondering, "Why did you post this, Anna? Come on!"
And I'm telling you, I am interested in the perversion of society. And I have a thing for the Dutch. Hansel and Gretel, man. They're Dutch.
