Закон и порядок: Специальный корпус Mean (1999– ) watch online HD

One of the most horrific examples of bullying and the caste system in high school is in this SVU episode. Three girls take a fourth friend and brutally kill her leaving her body in a car trunk. And then they try to pin it on a girl whom they pick on because she's fat. Since they're not exactly criminal geniuses the squad at SVU gets to the heart of things easily enough.

The girls all go to this posh suburban school and they live lives as these teen princesses, the coolest of the cool kids. One of them, Kelli Garner is the leader and she's both psychotic and charismatic. The other two, Arielle Kebbel and Kimberly McConnell, just go along partly out of fear and partly to keep their social standing.

This episode belongs to Diane Neal as ADA Casey Novack. She really nails one of them in a bit of fast thinking as one of them is testifying on the stand. Neal also makes the right decision not to cut a deal with any of them since even the two followers have their share of responsibility. As she so accurately puts it, they're 'mean little girls'.

This episode also has David Thornton who made many appearances as a really smarmy defense attorney. Thornton's character is one you love to hate, one whom folks make lawyer jokes about with gusto.

Justice might be done, but the episode also has a twist and sad surprise ending showing how systemic bullying can be. Don't miss this one.

"Mean" is not only the finest episode ever in any of the "Law and Order" series, but is extremely daring television in its stinging indictment of America's suburban lifestyle--indictments unfashionable to make in this overly politcally correct age. It is mericiless in cataloging the more insidious ways school children can now persecute one another--not just through verbal contact at school, but through cell phone and email messages, and cyber photos that violate a person's privacy. The Agnes Linskys of this age have it worse than those in my day. I contend that the writers of "Mean" based their story on the 1992 Shanda Sharer case. Sharer was a twelve year old girl from Madison, Indianna who went out riding one January night with her teen-aged friends--Melinda Loveless, Hope Rippey, Laurie Tackett, and Toni Lawrence, all under eighteen--only to be bound, locked in the car trunk, driven to a remote area known as the Witches Castle, where she was removed, tortured, set on fire and left to die. The motive, like "Mean," centered around jealousy on the part of ringleader Melinda, except that here it was lesbian jealousy rather than heterosexual. A question this episode asks but does not answer is this--In a siutation like this, where Britany, Paige and Andrea deservedly get their judicial comeuppance, why are their parents not prosecuted, tried, convicted and jailed for raising such monsters? They should be, because it was the American suburban Entitlement they heaped upon their daughters from birth that transformed them into the monstrous bitches seen in "Mean." And the cycle of parents still doing this, and girls evolving into monsters, continues today; so that America, rather than improving, only worsens in its mirroring of Agnes Linsky's contention that it is "never going to stop."

The body of a teenage girl with multiple and I mean multiple stab wounds is found in an isolated spot in Manhattan and Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni catch the case due to the victim's age and the bizarre manner of death.

The investigation leads to a certain clique of some very mean girls in their Westchester High School. Stephanie March takes a real personal dislike to them and thinking fast in court does quite a job. You have to see her cross examination of one of them.

Acting honors go to Lindsey Hollister who plays another girl that was picked on by this terrible trio. Her performance will bring a tear to your eye.
