Teen Forced to Pay Cop for Calling Him 'Fat'

Quote:

LONDON (Reuters) - Judges ordered a British teenager to pay $160 to a policeman for "mental anguish" after calling him "fat," the Daily Telegraph reported Tuesday.

The newspaper said policeman Jack Montague was on foot patrol with a colleague in Ulverston in northwest England when a drunken 17-year-old insulted him. Magistrates found the youth guilty of abusive behavior.

"Coppers have feelings too, and I'm glad that the magistrates have taken the unusual step of recognizing that," the paper quoted the police officer as saying.

The 5-foot, 8-inch officer weighs 196 pounds, the paper said.

"Sure, I enjoy the odd curry and a pint or two, but I am not fat at all. That's unfair," he said. "I play cricket for my local club and coach junior football, so if anything, I think I am quite sporty."

Hey Gutterboy, is that how you Eurotools do it? Fine teenagers for telling the truth?

And you wanna whine about Freedom of Speech in America? What a fucking joke.

if you think about it that way, there is no country on the face of this earth that the freedom of speech fully guaranteed.

Since when has the UK really been part of Europe?

They aren't attached to the continent physically and they haven't adopted the Euro.

Joe, don't encourage them - they are part of Europe as a continent and part of the EU. Everytime I want to annoy them I remind them they are Europeans.

Yep I'd love to see you try that Buff

By the way, Europe is not 1 country in case you didn't know? My friend was pulled over unjustly a while back, he cussed the cop out and they still resolved things and let him walk

What is with all this bickering between Americans and Europeans anyway? I really get pissed off about it ~ we're practically relatives (ideologically speaking, and even literally for some part) yet people in Europe often bitch about the US and lots of people from America bitch about Europe. It's all one big fucking load of crap if you ask me.

The English like to think they are superior but their food sucks.

Damn them all to hell.

Thank Gawd for Amsterdam.
