A 26-year old Greek woman has become an overnight national hero after setting fire to the genitals of a 23-year old drunken Briton who allegedly tried to sexually assault her in a crowded bar.
The unidentified woman from the fiercely proud island of Crete won herself even more praise by doing the right legal thing – turning herself over to police and the courts to be put on trial for what she claimed was her "right to self-defence". ..
According to a police statement issued last night the incident occurred at a club in the notorious coastal resort of Malia, which is dominated by young Britons seeking all-night revelry. It alleged the Briton took down his trousers and started waving his genitals at a number of girls...
After asking him to stop harassing her, the police said, she poured the alcoholic drink Sabucco on his genitals (an Italian brand type of Greek ouzo or French Pernod drink). This again allegedly failed to stop his advances, so the woman seized a lighter and set fire to the alcohol-drenched genitals, local press reports said.

no, sotomayer says self-defense isn’t a right.
A hunka hunka burnin’ love?
I’m sure he was an honors student.
I think bouncers and/or gendarmes were the proper way to handle this situation. Then she would be free, and he would still be locked up in a Cretan jail trying to get money from family and friends to bribe the Jefe to let him out.
Nevertheless, the second article made a lot more sense - perhaps she threw a well deserved drink on him and then he managed to light himself up fumbling around with a cigarette lighter.
Overall, not a good way to spend the last night of one’s holiday, but better than Natalie Holloway’s last night on Aruba. Reminiscent though, in a way.
Well what’s good for the herd is good for the gelding. (I just made that up!)
defenestration might have been effective as well.
Greeks can’t have guns. Soon to add Americans, too, if current trends are not corrected.
I hate it that drunks always try to get over with the ole 'But I was drunk' line.
You gotta take responsibility for your actions. Drink too much at your own risk. Don't expect other people to go out of their way to accomodate your lewd and belligerant behaviour. Don't expect to be able to go round the next day and say to everyone you offended 'I was drunk, you know how it is'.
Where I come from, if this drunken Brit had exposed himself to someone's daughter/girlfriend/wife and fondled her, burned wiener would be the least of his worries.
Yep. When I book my holidays I usually tell the guy behind the counter to make sure I get a hotel somewhere that isn't overly popular with British people. I get looked at funny when I request that but there is nothing worse than having your holiday spoiled by a bunch of drunken louts.
The Brits have a drinking problem at home. When they're away on holiday, it reaches the absolute lowest depths of depravity. And they think it's fun to come back after two weeks and remember nothing. What's the point of going on holiday if that's all you're going to do?
Yep. I'm down with all that sh1t.
Maybe we can start a club? I'd love to rid this city of its obnoxious drunks. Your descriptions sound like a lot of fun to me.
The hell it's not.
Queensbury rules are for non-survivors. You take it upon yourself to assault someone you better be prepared for whatever they dish up. Or else keep your hands to yourself.
Since we are good with corporal punishment for irritating behaviors... Replace ‘drunk person’ with smoker and I’m right with you...
Absolutely the most appropriate post of the thread...
Well, I quit smoking about 18 weeks ago. I’m good.
The only difference I would point out is- smokers haven’t lost their mental capacities. You don’t smoke one too many cigarettes and pull your wang out and wave it at strange women and grope them.
But, personally, I’m for hurting just about everyone. Prison and other realities keep me from doing this except wihtin certain fairly well defined parameters. But anytime we can push those parameters out a little bit further, that’s good with me.
I’d whack people for being stupid. For talking too loud. Farting without saying excuse me. Eating with their mouths open. Basically, I’d whack people for annoying me and I’m not being facetious or kidding around. I hate everybody.
sounds like you’ve spent too much time in liberal land (and i have no idea where you live).
i say this because this is how i felt just before the end of my 2 year stint in san francesspool
That’s hardly evidence.
I’ve felt this way as long as I can remember. Since 4 or 5 years old at least.
I only learned how to smile when I was about 24. Not one picture of me smiling exists before that age. And I still don’t smile naturally- it’s more a put-on/show for other people than anything else, although I almost have it down pat now (in my 40s). I still can’t smile for a camera- it really looks not-convincing and sinister. But I’ve just always been this way. Even when I was like 7- I had a perfectly stony, inscrutable face.
It’s not just liberals. I hate everybody. I always have. If I could figure out something to do with all of you, believe me, I would. And I would sleep like a baby afterwards.
(liberals would be at the front of the queue though ;-)
Great balls of fire... lmao!!!
There’s a woman who kills her own snakes. LOL
