In a comment recently posted on a London community web forum, "Happyslapper2" described the craze as a "joke", writing: "If you feel bored wen ur about an u got a video phone den bitch slap sum norman, innit."

The yanks do everything bigger and better and they've done some truly horrific stuff in this vein. The leader of the notorious '311 boyz' were up for attempted murder.
Take some small consolation in the fact that one day they'll do it to the wrong person and get back what they're due, with interest.

Yes, I love how the media take a 'stop this filth' stance, but if they'd never mentioned it, it would of probably died out by now and certainly wouldn't of spread so far.

"If this happy slapping fad continues it will only be a matter of time before someone is seriously hurt"
I was seriously hurt the friday before last when I was punched in the face by some chav arsehole on a bus in the London boro of Richmond totally unprovoked. His whole chav crew with their hoods had their phones on them so it may have been a , although none of them distinctly mentioned it. I was severely inconvenienced as I had to get off before my stop, had a bloody nose and a bruised ego..
..and the police barely seemed interested when I told them about it a few days later. Talk about degrading! -_-

There were 10 lads chasing some kid down the street in Dunny on Saturday. They caught him and were surrounding him and one of them was trying to show off by doing stupid kicks at him. Looked a twat. I felt well sorry for the one kid. I rang the police and a few minutes later there was a shit load of the twats legging it down the street. I don't care if people want to brawl but I won't stand by and watch a 10 against 1 fight. It's a fucking joke. The best bit is. When they were chasing him they were calling him a pussy. i don't know about you but gathering in a group to get one person seems the more pussy behaviour to me. cunts.

My mate was pissed off though because he really wanted to intervene in a more active way. There were 3 of us. Even then teh odds were shit. My mate is Army trained and could've taken 3 of them easy. I could have taken 2 with a struggle and my other mate could've with a bit more ease. But it's not worth getting your head kicked in about as there's still numbers on their side.

well at least you considered it, when I was beaten up on this bus a week and a half ago I had to flee out onto the street and sat on the curb clutching my bleeding face in my hands (the bastard had burst a blood vessel in my nose) but no one made any attempt to help me at all.
one fag even turned around to me when I asked is he had a tissue and said "well it serves you right dont it, getting yourself in a fight you moron!" before walking on.
I think thats what was the worst thing, that and the fact that I wasn't really shocked at all about what had just happened to me even though I had just been listening to some music and minding my buisness. Suprised yes, but not shocked.

the bad thing is that it has started progressing from slapping to punching and kicking. The other day as I waited for my train I saw a group of chavlings attempting this most uncouth of practices, the irony of it was that every time they did it they would shout out "release the peace", I have never seen something less peacefull in my life.

When I was at Uni, I was swarmed by about 15 13-15 year olds. Because they were so young I didn't start fighting back at first but when I realised they wern't letting up I let fly. To cut a long story short two of them had me arrested for assult. At the police station I was shown CCTV footage of what happened. At the time I didn't realised I was hit on the head twice with a bottle. The two policemen who were watching it with me said that it was self defense and that they wern't going to charge me. I was advised by my lawer to have them charged, I did.
When I was in court as a witness/victim, I saw that one of the kids fathers was my landlord. All the kids that were charged got suspended sentences and my landlord sent my cheque back to me with a letter of appology and I got to stay in my place for free for a term.

One of the policemen said that it was the most teeth he had ever seen knocked out in on instance. I'm not sure I managed to knock out any of the landlords kids' teeth but there were a few kids with bleeding mouths.

As a victim of several violent crimes myself I'd be quite willing to see the reintroduction of capital punishment to deal with the problem, the victims would be allowed to push the button and I'm not joking either.

The term "chav" is just another trendy media word that enforces stereotypes about working class people and makes the self appointed intellectual bourgousie feel very smug and superior, personally I'm dead against the word, a better description of the sort of people that do happy slapping would be "twats"

Yep. Lots of the arguments against the death sentence are dated now thanks to advances in forensics and the widespread use of CCTV. In situations where there is negligible (as opposed to reasonable) doubt, fire away IMO.
Individually, or even in small groups chavs aren't anything to worry about. They tend to be unfit, unmuscular and actually pretty cowardly. The problem is, they tend to congregate in packs and use weapons which, if there's enough of them, .
I would love them to bring back dueling and for it to be acceptable to carry swords (a decent swordsman outnumbered 4:1 has a far greater chance of winning than a decent fighter outnumbered in a similar manner) Chavs tend to be undisciplined losers who wouldn't have the inclination/dedication to get good at fencing.

Sounds good to me, personally I'd love to be allowed to carry a gun of some sort but I guess that could work against me in the long run and it's hardly as noble as the fine art of sworfighting, but just think of the look on the faces of the happy slapping crew when you pull out the pistol and start firing away, that's one video I'd love to see.

He he, my bias towards swords is due to me having fenced to a fairly high standard and also my dislike of the way being outnumbered in a gunfight you're even more stuffed than a hand to hand.

Guns are certainly unfair, like when Tom Cruise and his highly trained and disciplined band of samurai get mown down by machine gun welding idiots at the end of "Last Samuri", I'd still like to have one though, as long as it was just me and no-one else
