#1 Maybe the next time some bitch is annoying the crap out of me, I'll just set her twat on fire and claim "self defense!". She could have gone to the police. This dude will probably be sexually disfigured for life. It's a sad state of affairs when a vicious cunt like this gets hailed as a "hero".

#2 Greek life is officiall over - they are communist dupes now. Greece is now in a line of useless countries.

They celebrate burning a penis, they gave upt ther lives to have a government own them. Just the same as cutting it off.

#4 I take it neither Scooter nor newc has ever been forceably groped or more by a drunk who outweighs you, is stronger than you and won't take 'no' for an answer, even when the 'no' is emphatically repeated. And who has you cornered, more or less, in a crowded place so you can't get away from his emphatically unwanted assault.

I'm sorry this jerk is so badly injured. But jerk he is. And he was more than 'annoying the crap' out of this woman - he physically assaulted her in a sexual way.

Neither of them impresses me, given that they chose to be at a place where drunken, out of control behavior is celebrated.

#5 Yeah, setting fire to his genitals was a little over the top, but considering the provocation... My daughter was in a very popular up-scale bar in a city which won't be mentioned a couple of years ago, where a perv with a camera-cellphone was trying to take pictures up women's skirts! She dribbled his head on the granite-topped bar a couple of times and smashed his phone. She had drinks on the house the rest of the evening, as she was the only woman there who did something a little more forceful with the creep. I was afraid she would be prosecuted for assault... but it wasn't exactly like he was going to complain about being beaten up by a girl, and everyone else in the place was pretty well fed up with him, too.

#6 I somewhat recall an old story of ancient Greece. It seem some boys in one village engaged in the old territorial play of raiding and looting their neighbors and brought the female stock back home as 'war brides'. Well, in those times the cloth used to cover one's natural gifts were held at the shoulder by a broach and pin. As the story goes, that night after the men had their drink and sport, the ladies took their rather large pins and 'offed' their new consorts. The tradition in those parts is that the womenfolk tied their cloth at the shoulders since the boys wouldn't let them have broaches, pins, or any sharpy pointing things since. Never get a Greek lady mad, just ask Clytemnestra.

#8 From what I've read over the years, young Brits like to come to the Greek islands and party. All well and good, but some party just a bit too hard and end up acting and looking like louts.

A safety tip to the boys: unholster yourself in public, and you pretty much deserve whatever happens to you.

#9 Have a little compassion for the Brit. He is a victim of watching too much Benny Hill.

#12 A safety tip to the boys: unholster yourself in public, and you pretty much deserve whatever happens to you.

First, when one flambe's the food, it's generally only the alcohol that burns. One wonders how long the drunken lout sat there staring stupidly at the flames before someone put the fire out. Second, he should just be grateful she didn't have a can of soup on hand. Can you say, "planaria"?

#14 This reminds me of a story I heard on the radio years ago about a man who went into a woman's apartment, intending to rape her. She was heating water for spaghetti. She threw the boiling water him, which caused major damage to his privates.
He sued the victim(from jail)for using excessive force. My attitude was that in some states, women can use lethal force to prevent rape, he got off easy.

#17 Cut off John Wayne Bobbets junk and women put the attacker on a pedestal as a hero. Now Greeks are doing the same thing. Mutilation is sick, no matter what the provocation.

#18 I never thought much of Bobbit or his attacker. I don't think this falls in the same category of premeditated mutilation, tho.

It doesn't read to me as if this woman intended to mutilate the guy. He wouldn't back off, he tried to get her to touch the genitals he was waving at her, she didn't oblige, he forcibly groped her, she asked him to stop, he didn't, the place was crowded, she didn't have a way to shake him off so she poured her drink on him, he got more and more insistent and offensive and she flicked the Bic.

I don't read the Greek reaction as celebrating mutilation. As TW noted above, if you had asked me before I read the article I would have guessed that the alcohol would have burnt off quickly without doing serious harm. Or that it could / would have been put out quickly after it was lit.

Quite possibly it could have been, and bystanders didn't, because he really had been bullying and obnoxious and was assaulting her and they all had had enough of him.

#19 I swim in the pool bare-ass but the wife always reminds me to zip up when I fire up the grill because she does not want the extra hot dog.
