I've also heard it called "Happy Slapping" in the UK ... about 10 years ago.

Hopefully, they never try to attack an appointed neighborhood watch captain.

Actually, I am hoping they do and they try to tag the "wrong" one.

Hopefully the sales of large powerfull dog breeds who have recieved defense training will go up.

Might just head off some of these attacks.

I feel sorry for the dogs -- they might get rabies from biting some of those idiots.

It would protect those with a dog but cowards chose victims that look like easy marks and plenty of people will still be walking about w/o a dog.

Preemptive? You mean somehow they'll be able to identify in advance the loser nimrods planning such attacks and take them out first?

Yeah, that'll work. What it would really be is about the same as the polar bear hunting in question. Finding black youth at random and cold-clocking them?? Oh boy. That'll solve the problem.

Wowza ... sounds almost like a MSNBC spin zone here. What was very, very clear in my post was that if the gangs or solo playa's in this "game" attacks the wrong person, that person has a real means to protect themself or herself and the game backs fire ... pun intended. Still, I find it so amazing the lack of media outrage or the lack of responsiveness from our DoJ. However, Mr. Zimmerman is still in the news. That really does tell a lot. I am thinking we need Oprah back on TV with her clever comments.

Well, Jake did say "preemptive" and your response was to that post.

I'm really hoping, for the sake of some remaining faith in human intelligence, that the incidence of this is in the .00000001 probability realm, approximately.

Yes, Jake did. My bad for a somewhat sloppy post.

You may be able to react if/when you witness someone else being the victim. If YOU are the victim, you are on the ground, and unconscious, before you are ever aware that you were chosen as a victim. Concealed carry, or not.


Why are not the political leaders loudly denouncing this "game"? Could it be that the politicos have no sense of morality other than the use of political power?
