Drunk man insults women and police in Günzburg!
A strange incident occurred in Günzburg on Thursday evening, which shows how quickly an unpleasant situation can arise from a harmless argument. Loud Augsburger Allgemeine A 37-year-old man observed two women from his balcony who were throwing sunflower seed shells onto the sidewalk. The man obviously felt provoked and spoke to the two women.
What he said next was less charming. He insulted the women and sent his slippers in their direction. An action that brought at least no luck, but a lot of unpleasant attention. Although the women affected were uninjured, they were forced to call the police after being insulted.
Alcohol influence and consequences
Another aspect that escalated the situation was the man's high alcohol level. With just under two per mille in his blood, he seemed reluctant to be calmed down. When following up with the officers, he continued to be uncooperative and insulted one of the police officers. The police took action and took the man into custody to sober up, where he is being investigated for insults and attempted bodily harm.
Insults such as those that occurred in this case are by no means an isolated incident. According to statistics from the Federal Criminal Police Office, which examines cases of insults in Germany recorded between 2014 and 2024, such incidents are ubiquitous. The number of insults recorded by the police is constantly increasing and shows that this type of conflict is a serious problem in our society ( Statista ).
Legal framework
For many, the question of what counts as an insult is a gray area. However, the legal framework in Germany is clearly defined. According to the Criminal Code (StGB), insults are divided into several categories, with simple insult, slander and slander being the most common offenses. The legal consequences can range from fines to prison sentences to civil lawsuits. Those affected have various options to defend themselves, be it through a criminal complaint or by filing a private lawsuit ( Lawyer.de ).
Such incidents demonstrate once again how important it is to resolve conflicts in a peaceful and reasonable manner, rather than descending into insults and physical altercations. A little mindfulness in everyday life can go a long way toward de-escalation.
