Last night on TNT's "The Closer" starring Kyra Sedgwick . . . spoiler alert

One high school boy was killed and another was shot (but survived) in a parking lot shooting attack, and it appeared to be a drug deal gone bad. It turned out that the boy who survived was innocent. He had been falsely accused of rape by a girl, and her brother went on a shooting rampage.

We applaud "The Closer" -- including it's producers and the writer of the episode Leo Geter -- for tackling a politically incorrect issue that just happens to mirror a number of actual incidents we've reported on this site, including this one, which was Shakespearean in the scope of its tragedy: http://glennsacks.com/blog/?p=3316

Leave it to me to put a damper on things (or is it 'dampener'), but for every episode like this, there are five on actual rapes, 4 on man-on-woman DV, 3 on men molesting children, 2 episodes glorifying prison, and an indecent exposure.
