Today, my worst fear was realized.
People are as stupid as they seem.
The woman in my Criminal Law class that likes to have hour long conversations about nothing in the middle of class decided that she wanted to take the crown today. What crown, you ask? She asserted herself at the throne of my list of people I hate from school. In high school there were many names that topped the list, but there hasn't been a person from college to take on the champ, Susan Burkholder.
Holly is her name. We had to work in groups and, as fate would have it, she sits on my half of the room a few chairs away. Normally her routine is to write painfully slow and cause everyone to wait for her. She uses a cane and uses it as an excuse to not move as well as a pity party since she brings it up to make sure EVERYONE knows. Then, as mentioned before, she'll talk forever about nothing.
She is in my Corrections class and my professor can be the same way sometimes, so having those to talk back and forth is less pleasing than being punched in the face.
The case was about rape, and because she's a woman, she automatically placed fault at the man (her words, not mine. she said it was because the woman feels weak so if she spoke up it must have happened).
The facts of the case really aren't important besides one part: they had been drinking. It was not relevant to the decision at all, but she thought it was a key point of the case. It didn't matter anyway as the guys were found guilty (which she felt necessary to point out like 5 times that she had been right).
The assignment was to look at it objectively from a prosecutor and a defense attorney's point of view. She kept saying that as a defense attorney she would just say they're guilty and was just being a total ass about the assignment. When it came time to talk from the prosecutor's side, she kept referencing the alcohol and that they were underage drinking. I kept asking what that had to do with anything and she said it had everything to do with everything.
Discussion time came, and, of course, I shared my (and the rest of the groups besides Holly and the other woman who sits beside her) opinion. Our defense was the best possible suggestion and our prosecution, though, was a bit faulty. Holly, after we got shot down, decided she wanted to voice her opinion.
It went a little something like this:
"Well, I think that the underage drinking is the key. Since they were drinking, their opinions can't count. They don't even know what was going on."
The professor just stared for a second and then asked how she figured that and she said it's obvious. Kozal (professor) just stood there for a second and gave her a funny look, shook his head, then asked for her defense attorney idea. She said she had none. He gave a little chuckle, then asked someone else.
Now, after all of this. After being cocky the whole time and being a bitch. After being wrong. After being laughed at. She decides she is still right and was like "see, I told you!" in a whisper voice towards me.
I turned and stared at her, restraining myself from standing up and screaming "YOU F****** IDIOT. YOU WERE WRONG. HE LAUGHED AT YOU. EVERYONE STARED AT YOU BLANKLY. YOU HAD NO IDEA WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT. GO DIE IN A HOLE. KTHXBI =D"
I didn't though....
....I wish I would have...
