Talk:Happy slapping

I totally agree that happy slapping is wrong. People who are found doing any such thing should be punished. However I do not believe it has come from people in 'the garage music scene'. Myself and many friends of mine are from that scene,we are all age 17-20 and not one of us think happy slapping is a laughing matter. It doesn't have antthing to do with music, the people that do it are probally bored or just have no respect for anyone.

"Happy slapping is the criminal act of slapping or striking a stranger" "The criminal act of" - That is slightely misleading. Although common assault, of which happy slapping is a form of, is a criminal offence, there's no specific crime of attacking someone for fun, contrary to what "is the criminal act of" implies.

Note, eg, that honour killing is not decribed on this site as "the criminal act of killing a female relative thought to have brought dishonour on the family etc", but "the practice of a family member killing a female relative..."; there is a seperate sentence which explains that it is murder.

Thus I suggest that the opening paragraph is changed along this lines.

LOL MORE RUBBISH

'Happy Slapping' is by far the worst criminal act in the 20th century; Curse the idiot that broadcasted it on T.V and subjected it to young infants and teenagers. The probable cause for this is probably the incompetance of young teens, today. This century's growth and maturity is becoming more and more 'Obscene'. To date, 'Happy Slapping' has stormed the country and mostly the world. The idiot that broadcasted 'Happy Slapping' on national television just embedded the nation with crude ideas and epiphanies on what mischief to cause. In my opinion, people should be arrested for 'Happy Slapping'. I am ,coincidently,one of the unfortunate victims of 'Happy Slapping'. Just 2 months ago, I was standing outside class and then WHAM!, I was slapped. With a clear rush of anger I was mislead to believe that I was hit by accident. OH NO! DON'T THINK SO. This was an act of hatred and impurity, people don't know how to have fun these days. All people wanna do is hurt and destroy each other.

'Happy Slapping' is infantantile. AND FOR ALL THOSE OUT THERE WITHOUT A CLUE, 'HAPPY SLAPPERS',THIS MEANS 'CHILDISH'!

P.S Write back on your views in conclusion to my own, THANX BYE!!!
