Default Happy Slapping.

Do you have this in the US or is it just a UK based phenomenon? Basically it involves a person, usually 10-16 being beaten or gang raped etc, while other people film it on a mobile phone. Doesn't sound so happy eh.

'Happy slap' pupil found hanged

Teenage girl charged over attack

Man jailed over 'happy slap' case

Girl raped in 'happy slap' attack

'Happy slap' gang set boy on fire

All the links are from the BBC, so nothing NSFW. These people are pretty [censored] sick in my opinion, I guess there is a large section of people who think this is funny or clever.

Yes we do have things like people being beaten, we have something called bum fights, where people video tape people fighting homeless people. About the rape thing I don't know, I'm sure there are sickos out there doing that as well in the U.S.

Something like that happened in James City County in VA at a Park. A guy was sexually assualting a little girl and bystanders video taped it but did do anything to stop it.

I have a daughter and if I saw someone doing that to a little girl I would beat the hell out of them with a tire iron.

We live in a sick world folks.

The moment it gets a name and publicity, the copy-cats are there! Incidents of bullying are common in every society but the name and the publicity will make it more prevalent in Britain.
