VanChavZ Unite: 'WestCoast' Happy Slapping!

[sNyx]

Who's down? =)

Happy slappers" is a youth craze in which groups of teenagers armed with camera phones slap or mug unsuspecting children or passersby while capturing the attacks on 3g technology. According to police and anti-bullying organisations, the fad, which began as a craze on the UK garage music scene before catching on in school playgrounds across the capital last autumn,is now a nationwide phenomenon.

And as the craze has spread from London to the home counties to the north of England, so the attacks have become more menacing, with increasing numbers of violent assaults and adult victims.

[...] As police have become more vigilant, so the gangs have become more sophisticated, seeking victims in parks or public areas where their crimes are unlikely to be spotted by the authorities or captured on CCTV."

I just heard about this on the Radio actually.

Kind of unrelated, but I notice a reference to CCTV. Apparently the UK is the most "watched" nation in the world.. Closed circuit security systems are everywhere in this country. I work for a very specialized digital surveillance company and we're just itching at the opportunity to dig into this lucrative market.

This is kind of interesting: http://www.spy.org.uk/wtwu.htm

thats a good one, I never thought of the idea of being back in a wheelchair via happyslapping. perhaps I will lurk around the backalleys of East Van and make you the first target? yah binner.

Be my guest, you're more likely to catch pneumonia than catch me hanging out in the alley. Despite what you may think, life in East Van isn't some much dirtier version of 'King of the Hill'.
