Words simply fail me when I try to describe these scum.

www.bbc.co.uk/news

Look for the video link on the right hand side.


I think there should be a special kind of sentence reserved for these kinds of unprovoked offences.

What do you think would be genuinely appropriate?

As long as such scum get such light sentences for their crimes, and have such a low probability of getting caught in the first place, this will only grow more common.

Also, I bet if someone managed to fight back / defend effectively, then they'd be done for assault...

Perhaps they could be filmed on inmates' phones being rogered righteously in the showers and then send that out to other phones and put it up on the news......

Public birching might be a just sentence for these sorts of crimes...

I fear I would suffer the same fate. I think I would go ballistic and someone would end up seriously hurt

I personally would like to take the phone, set it recording, and shove it up the criminal's anus.

The police should offer to buy "Happy slapping" clips for £50 then they would`nt get sent to all and sundry and so would`nt get recorded in the first place.
Then fine the little sh1ts £xxx amount plus £50.

and who is responsible for law and order in Britain..??

Blame Blair. Three years ago, I remember him coming on tv saying.."ill cut violent crime in half by september."

any one who votes labour again after their pathetic record on law and order is responsible too.

Good call... followed by a good slapping with a hammer and depending on the severity of the attack jail or the death penalty – unprovoked attacks are the worst kind in my book.

I had some youths try something similar with me on the way back from work. If I go that way, I carry a 2ft length of old weight exhaust pipe, stuck inside the flap of my satchel. Suit, tie, satchel, brolly...exhaust pipe. I WOULD have no qualms about using it either. them, it's my right to walk that way and feel safe, I'm not about to risk my clean slate. I do live in a ghetto during the week though.

Another sad thought...

If happy slapping (amongst other violent crimes) carries on going unpunished to a degree that civilised people feel protected, innocent people will start to carry weapons, perhaps including guns.

I really don't want to live in a society where we start comparing barrel sizes in every day conversation.

Similarly I dearly hope that a rise in violence from the criminal element does not lead to routine arming of the police. A mate of mine in the job thinks that it could be a reality within 10 years.

I think this is a very real problem. When people have no confidence in the Police to protect them from this scum they will have little alternative but to protect themselves.

I wonder how long it will be until a "happy Slapper" gets knifed, shot or beaten to death with a baseball bat.

It will be interesting to see how the law deals with such a case.

It's quite simple, really. Publish their names, addresses, photos and details of their offence in the press and on billboards and let matters follow their natural course...

Anyone attacking me or mine in this way would take quite a long time to die.
