Jenjie Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 When will they stop using this name. There's a postivie sound to it but its pure and simple GBH. Stop using trendy sounding soundbites. Quite sure this poor kid is not happy. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/4679713.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gareth brown Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Damn, 'Happy Slapping' sucks...HOWEVER, I found it funny to watch a phone video of my friend approaching another one of my friends, before slapping him and running off...I think there's something about it that's okay with that since they know each other and are just joking around after watching that Trevor McDonald Documentary...

Jenjie Posted July 14, 2005 Author Share Posted July 14, 2005 wat is happy slapping?? and y was there a risk of someone catching fire...? happ slapping is a ridiculous new craze over here. the mild version is when your friend comes up behind you & smacks you on the head whilst another mate secretly films it on their video phone. it then gets sent to other people. the more serious version is when little thugs do it and seriously injure people just for a laugh and to send the video to their mates. in that case the kids tied this other kid to a tree and set the tree on fire whilst they filmed him. thats why I think happy slapping is a stupid name for the papaers to use because if you suffered those sorts of injuries in any other way it would be classed as assault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody suggested the name should be changed because the word "Happy" makes it sound like fun, which it isn't. What about "Camera phone assault"? That's an appropriate name!!

swallowedinamessage Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 i watched something on TV about this ... it just started as a joke, friends slapping friends, which actually ain't very nice being whacked on the head anyway, then bullies started doing it to kids in school and started video recording it .. the craze caught on then to make it more 'impressive' they started doing it to totally random people and then the happy slaps started going to an extreme with people being set alight etc. ....... however i think it has started to calm down a bit lately with the police being more aware of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busybeeburns Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Kids at that age should not be able to afford camera phones. I blame the parents for 1) Their upbringing and 2) Spoiling the fuck out of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
