7 drunk girls held for abusing officer
From today’s Arab Times If you are the parents of any of these seven young women, I can imagine your hearts are aching. I am sorry for your pain.
At the same time, I’m sorry, something about it makes me laugh, too. I can’t imagine the problems the police had handling seven drunk young women at one time. And I have to imagine the “abuse” was verbal and not physical. Somehow, it sounds like a very comical scene to me. I also imagine that the aftermath for these seven young women is far from comical.
KUWAIT CITY: Police have detained for interrogation an unidentified young Kuwaiti woman for verbally abusing a police officer on duty at a police checkpoint in Salwa, reports Al-Watan daily.
According to a police source, officers manning the checkpoint saw seven young women riding in a car. All of them appeared disoriented and were carrying a bottle of alcohol.
When the officers ordered the women to come out of the vehicle, one of them not only refused but insulted a police officer.
All the seven women have been referred to a police station. Attempts by unidentified persons to set the women free have been turned down, says a police source.
The source added 11 men had also been arrested for drinking alcohol. However, it is not known if the incidents are related


Oh my God… HYPOCRITS
That’s very sad.. not much else to say.
bad bad bad baaaaaaaaaad!
I read that too and was like why cant police handle 11 girls!!
Cool ! i think times are changing ….. I can still remember the days when no alchoholic beer was sold in black market..[ 0.500 fills for a barbican] infact it used to be smuggled from Saudi … 😛
If onle ONE of them had a “scary” family name we wouldn’t even be hearing of this.
Best line in the article: “The source added 11 men had also been arrested for drinking alcohol. However, it is not known if the incidents are related”
I am aghast more by the fact they were drink driving than by the fact they abused a copper.
and I am even more aghast at hearing you say – ‘aghast by …..’
🙂
Sad really
Blue – Hypocrites? The police? The girls? The arrest? The people trying to get them out of jail? Who?
Amu – 7 girls – 11 guys, but maybe the incidents are “not related.” And drunks are particularly hard to handle because they are not rational. And I am guessing the police were guys and these were gals, and they had a job to do, but they are still mostly young men, and probably haven’t had to handle a situation quite like this before. It must have been quite a sight.
Grey – Beer smuggled in from Saudi Arabia? Like is it home made beer? *puzzled*
EniGma – the newspapers NEVER use a Kuwait’s name in the crime section.
Amer – The scary thing is, there seem to be a lot of drunks on the road. Doesn’t that scare you?
Hello, BL. Yep, the driving out there is bad enough without adding drink and drugs to the mix.
Hello again, BL, and “aghast” makes me laugh, it is so vivid.
3baid – I would guess most of them will be grounded for life.
>_< tsk tsk! thats just a shame really..
Vixen, can you imagine what life must be like for them this week?
