bullies

A German schoolboy has been forced to pay his bullies €17,000 after a court ruled in their favour. One of the bullies, from the group aged between 11 and 12, spoke to us through an interpreter after their historic victory.

"Ya, he was such an asswipe" said one of the tormentors. "Always with the moaning and the whining and the complaints. Every single day it was something. There's only so much of that shit you can take."

"He had no idea of personal space. Kept on butting in to other people's private conversations, always boasting about things he claimed he'd done" he continued. "Like the time he said he'd had sex in a pornokino with the hottest girl from the local college. Clearly delusional. We managed to just ignore him for over a year but he refused to accept that we didn't like him or want him hanging around us."

Papers presented to the court listed a litany of harassment the group suffered at the hands of the boy before they finally snapped. Parties were ruined, sleepovers gatecrashed, indignities suffered by the group at the hands of this unpleasant individual. When he cyber-stalked the group across BookFace and Twatter they became increasingly upset and blocked him. He persisted and photoshopped himself into their group photos and uploaded the images to his own account.

The judge that presided over the case said in her summing up that as a child she too had been accused of bullying an obnoxious little shit who ignored all civil requests to leave her alone. She said, given that all other attempts had failed, a sizeable compensation payment to the plaintiffs should send the message that this kind of behaviour is unacceptable in civilised society.
