Poor lad, it looks like he got a right beating. Get well soon!

There was a quality clip on the C4 programme Rudetube the other day. A happy slapper picked on some guy who then proceded to knock 7 differetnt shades of sh!t out of him. The guy he picked on was clearly a boxer or at very least extremely handy. This is how all happy slappers hould be dealt with.

In my day (in the 1980s) fights were one-on-one, and no suprise attacks.

People who do this are cowards. Weak and pathetic sheep following the crowd. And so little imagination to do something different.

the treatment should be happy birching in full public view.

Perhaps a greater police presence on the streets might reduce such assaults? In the meantime, perhaps we as responsible adults should be more courageous about stepping in and intervening, oh wait we can't. The law says we are not allowed to pull an attacker off someone else - yeah right like I care about that law!

This is the kind of behaviour we have come to expect from Southampton's second generation of thick Chavscum. Young people should get some self-defence or boxing lessons to prepare them for today's world, where you take your life in your hands just popping out for a pint of milk.

i can't believe that people lives are in danger when they leave their home. what kind of people attack someone for no reason. just because they think it is funny. well i think their names should be published so they can be embarrssed and known by all.then we will see what they have to say.

Problem is, that as far as these morons are concerned, this isn't even a fight. It's a "prank". How did it come to this?

I blame the original Tango Orange advert...

thats the best way to treat them matt, sod the law step in and help out, because it the only way those sort of people under stand. very soon its going to happen in the redbridge area with a group of 10 to 15 lads who think they are hard.

Good stuff, Southy. We've talked about the effectiveness of vigilantism before, I think. Statistically, the more people there are around, the less likely one person is to get involved. I reckon, though, if one person does get involved, there's a greater chance more people will. Herd mentality works both ways

As for the law saying you cannot pull an attacker off someone else, that's absolutely not true. The use of reasonable force is allowed for self-defence, as we know, and the legal definition of self-defence is not actually limited to defending oneself, but also to ones property, and to other people who are in danger. So stepping in in these situations is perfectly legal (as long as reasonable force is observed)

security word? hang-firm

they certainly weren't as violent as things are now. I don't remember kids being so vicious yet so cowardly. Many boys have grown up without positive males in their lives. By the time a boy gets to 14 he will no longer listen to a mother and sadly if dad's buggered off then the child has no chance.

Hmm... I expect there will be a story soon which will read: "We were performing a happy slapping on this guy, but he suddenly pulled out a gun and shot one of us!"

To the boy that got beaten up. I really hope you get well soon and for what its worth I know someone myself that got bullyed alot and thay have turned into a great bloke with good friend, and i mean it. The people that did this to you are loosers and 'usually' remain so. good luck lad you look like a pretty cool kid

Thats all very well claiming self defence, but look at the times innocent people, defending themselves, and property, have been arrested, questioned and sometimes convicted of assault.

The government needs to sort the judiciary/human rights laws out first, before they allow self defence as an option.

And what about all the cases where this didn't happen? They far outnumber the cases where it does, but that doesn't sell many newspapers so you won't be reading about it very often. These miscarriages do happen, but they're far from the norm

hulla baloo, southampton, the way to look at it is, what i do will help others to be safer on the streets, even lo i might end up getting hurt or endding up in prison,even if you only take one down with you, that one will think again the next time, and the next time others might join in to help out. most of the problem is because people dont want to get involve, but they moan because they are not safe on the streets, if you want to be safe on the streets or at home then you aft to take the streets back and send that message out, behave or get hurt.
