And people wonder why cops are walking around with tasers these days....

Hmm this does go on quite a lo, esp round the nightclubs etc.

Although once some little chav came and happy slapped someone and hte person turned round and "taught them never to do it again" (to put it nicely)

I think thats the perfect medicine for happy slapping.

I agree. I would smash their phone as well, espeically if it had that damn frog on it.

Hmm, I'm surprised that person wasn't attacked further for retaliating. Happy-slappers usually hang around in big groups, just in case someone decides to react.

I thought the slappers always outnumbered the slapees (sp?)

heh I do that sometimes but only to friends and not very hard, and only when they say somthing stupid.

Like "Where's Normandy...?"
*BAM!*
*gets Atlas, circles Normandy for them*

I remember an article a few weeks ago about John Prescott being approached by happy-slappers. Apparently one kid came up to him and insulted him (not knowing who Prescott is) and Prescott shouted after him to come back and say that again to his face. The kid ran off and came back with a group of mates, one of whom had a video camera. It was at that point that Prescott's bodyguards showed up and the kids ran off

.

This problem is related to a general social problem with an increasingly large section of society that needs to be dealt with. A whole generation of kids are growing up with no respect for the society that they are brought up in and no understanding of the value of its laws. The government needs to figure out how to address this problem sooner rather than later in my opinion.

I'm sure Two-Jags could have taken them if he had to. He dealt with that egg-throwing protester fairly decisively.

I don't think the two-jabs joke will ever go away for him.

It will probably say on his Tombstone(in a long time of course

):
Here lies
John "Two-jabs" Prescott

It is quite worrying about happy slappers, Alot of them are cowards who would never attack someone 1 on 1. They need alot of them because most of them are just weak. Like needing 6 boys to beat up 1 girl
