Threats, rape, mean teens – Hungarians going crazy
Change language:
No country is crimeless, but these incidents are especially cruel, and it is hard to believe they could happen.
The past year was an extremely hectic one all around the world, and Hungary is no exception. The general situation caused by the virus resulted in a number of crimes that otherwise, very probably, would have not happened, as their main motive was these people’s horrible economic situation. On the other hand, there are those cruelties that cannot be justified by and be blamed on the coronavirus. Especially the following ones as they either happened years ago but the verdict was only decided now, or because it happened for an extremely stupid reason.
Robbers wanted to steal vaccines in Budapest
Like the first incident of a
41-year-old man who tried to rape his former teacher.
According to the offender, everything started with him getting drunk. The man and his former teacher are neighbours living right next to each other in a small village. The offender, who did not remember anything, as he stated, for being completely wasted, was lurking in the bushes and watching his neighbour. When the old lady went inside her house, he followed her with a small knife and threatened to hurt her if she did not give him some money. The poor pensioner lady gave him everything she had in her wallet – 2,000 forints. The man then left but decided to return a couple of hours later as he was not satisfied with what he had received. The old lady was threatened not to call the police or else she would get hurt, so she was too afraid to do so. He asked for money again but as she did not have any, he said that “she could pay in another way”. Then he started to harass her and tear her clothes off her. Luckily, the story ended relatively well, with the man leaving as the old lady was strong enough to deal with him. The man could not be sentenced quickly as he did not confess; he says he does not remember anything due to being extremely drunk. His case is being taken to court, as he had been sentenced already on several occasions, tények.hu reports.
Horrendous as they are, sadly these things happen all over the world not just during the pandemic (if you care to do a research on it).
There is no doubt the quarantine and the uncertainty regarding one’s existence has contributed to psychological disturbances in the already vulnerable members of the community.
