Man In Trouble For Drugging His Girlfriend And... Playing Video Games. Can You Not Do That?

(Source) — “I only put four or five drops into her tea,” the man told the court in Castrop-Rauxel as he admitted to the crime, the Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung reported. On an evening in August 2014, he was playing on his games console with a friend when his (now ex-) girlfriend arrived at home at around 10pm. After ten hours at work, she had understandably been planning on having a quiet evening rather than one punctuated by the clatter of machine-gun fire or computerized commentators screaming over a non-existent football game. The woman slept until midday the following day after drinking the drugged tea. “Then I got up and drove to work although I was nodding off again and again,” the 24-year-old told the judge. Her then-boyfriend admitted what he had done on the day after the crime. She added that her ex, too, had been on drugs at the time, which was the reason for their breakup shortly afterwards. An analysis of the girlfriend’s hair showed that she had been under the influence of those drugs just once, at the time when her ex slipped them into her drink. “Your girlfriend slept long and deeply, which didn’t harm her, but this is certainly a premeditated bodily harm,” the judge said as he sentenced the man to pay a €500 fine.

Look man, sometimes a guy just needs some bro time. He doesn’t want to have to deal with his girlfriend coming home, nagging because she’s tired after a 10 hour shift, then dragging him to bed so she can complain about how Cathy was such a bitch at the restaurant all day and Brittany called out so she had to cover her tables. No one wants to deal with that. Much rather just chill with your boy and play some sweet video games. But you can’t tell your girlfriend that because now we’ve got a whole new set of problems. So you just slip a little Castrop-Rauxel in her tea and she’s out for the count, leaving you free to do your thing. It’s no different than a parent rubbing a little rum on a baby’s gums to make him fall asleep. Every once in a while you need to do what it takes to put the baby down early so you don’t lose your mind during another night of non-stop crying.
