happy slapping

[blaze666]

discuss.

i think there would be a lot less of it if there wasn't so much media coverage. i think the sun is making more out of it than it is. it's probabaly not a new 'craze' at all. iv'e never seen it happen.

[Yeti]

No, I've never seen it happen either, but I don't tend to venture into town on a Saturday daytime much (I guess this would be when most of them happen?). I also haven't been out on a Saturday night apart from the local pub since the 'craze' began.

Hopefully if it happens to me my mates will be there then we can twat the muppets.

what the hell are you talking about?

[Yeti]

New 'craze' in Britain.

Some scrote slaps an unsuspecting member of the public whilst their friend films it on a mobile phone then distributes it amongst their knob friends.

It's gotten out of control on a number of occasions and victims have been badly injured.

we've had that here - it's called bumfights.

[Yeti]

Not really the same.

Bumfights didn't feature women getting beaten up for no reason on buses, did it?

[trying2learn]

no - it shows rich suburban kids paying the homeless to beat each other up and set each other on fire. all for a couple bucks or a drink.

you really think they're THAT different?

both dispicable at the expense of a juvenile joke.

[Yeti]

I'm not trying to play devil's advocate but wasn't everyone in Bumfights consenting?

I agree they are both despicable.

[trying2learn]

there were many different underground bumfight tapes circulating before the main 2 were released.

originally, they would drive by and throw full bottles of beer at men who were earlier in the tape asking for money for a drink - it was later they figured out that they could get a lot of these guys to do [censored] voluntarily, so yes eventually it was consentual.

If I were a bum, I should have every right to earn a meal fighting another bum.
