    i remember seeing the videos of the scum doing it. I'd imagine a swift kick to the eye would be in order.

    This is the kind of sh*t that this "Happy Slapping" can ultimately lead to -

    If I was surrounded by a bunch of knackers and one of them slapped me across the face, I wouldn't hit back, I'd just try to get the f*ck outta there. If you did hit back, they'd probably all attack you

    if they are young enough grab em and drag him down to his house knock on his door and tell his mother what hes after doing let his mother sort him out, if they were 15 to 17 give em a good hard kick in the arse or a slap back. its people who do nothing that make these kids think they can do it again

    edit: if they are in a group pick the biggest one out and give him a lickin he'll never forget, if they have weapons eg club or a bat, take em off em and beat them with em its not actually that hard.... just when the bats being swung dont take your eye off it grab twist and smack!

    if they have a knife run like the bejesus

    hard 2know what u will do in the situation, you'll only know if/when the situation occurs.

    A few examples:

    if somebody hits a person with a car door when your trying to give them grief/talk 2 them, for nearly running u down on a pedestrian crossing, u are warranted 2 double team the driver and put him in hospital.


    Being attacked or taunted by a group of teenagers when u are an adult is tricky. I know plenty of stories of fully grown men getting bet silly by groups of teenagers as young as 14. The sheer numbers are usually underestimated.

    I was subject 2attempted mugging (i know this is different 2topic). A knacker tried 2 mug me and gf. I didnt punch him, but forcefully fcuked him on his arse. Was really dodgy, the car he hopped out of was full of lads. He could have had knife, considering their was nothing valuable in the bag, if the same situation happened again, i dunno.

    I prob wouldn't take a slap but depends on group. If u levelled them all with 1 punch first time u'd be grand. But if u don't ur fukced. BTW the shock of it would kick in 4most ppl in which time they'd have run or u walked away,

    my question, if a 13-17 scumbag slaps you in the face, and you're an adult, what can you do?

    i know you cant hit kids, but are you aloud to defend yourself in this situation? ie, slap em back

    Technically you cant hit anyone in this situation

    However if you have common sense you will do what Id do. If i was fairly confident I could take the fcuker (regardless of age, dont care if he is 13 or 35 if he looks beatable its on muthafcuka) id do this

    Attack and incapacitate the little bollix quick as possible. Then drag to secluded area
    Steal his phone. Undo his shoes, and steal them too. If he has any nice watch, chain, tracksuit top, well, theyre comin home with me sh1thead :) Even if his top/shoes were too small for me Id rob them anyway. Either they get resold or thrown on top of nearby electricity lines
    Using his phone, ring up his mammy and tell her that her wee man has been a naughty boy, and I presently have a knife to his throat. Make the little ****er scream over the phone
    Video myself assaulting him, video him crying and begging for mercy. Then send to all his friends to show that this 15 year old wannabe hardman is a little queer who cant take what he likes to dish out
    Empty his wallet, hopefully finding something with his address. After helping myself to his cash, Id remind him of two points

    1- I know where you live. Call the cops if you dare
    2- Your nice wee phone is full of footage of assaults on me and no doubt several other people. If I go down your coming with me

    So yes, basically if I had to take one slap in the face from some prick in return for me hospitalising him and robbing his phone, runners money and making him look the fool infront of his mates I would sleep well that night

    The moral is.........dont **** with Gopher :)


    For anyone saying what I propose is some sort of throwback to a lawless vicious society...........ah forget it :D Honestly, its what they deserve. Randomly hitting people is bad enough- if you dont have the balls to hang around and wait for the vicim to respond, which it seems most of the happy slappers do, they slap and run, then you deserve everything you get

    just stand up to them, i was walkin down the street about two years ago and this group of reebok-stripey topped air-max wearing heads were coming towards me. the leader saw me coming and as they passed me he went for me (to make me flinch or scare me or something). my reaction was a swift punch to the stomach. he immediately screamed out "whatcha do that for?" (to my disbelief, i mean he went for me) and they made a quick getaway.

    point is they don't expect a reaction. just do what you feel best fits the situation.

    Scene: Sitting on top floor of a bus, near stairs.
    ****heads appear from back of bus, slap girl sitting midway between them and the stairs, and bolt for the stairway.

    Can I stop them, and how much force can I use? :)

    Discuss... :)

    Make it seem as if your making a grab for him, them push the little f**cker head first straight down the stairs. Painful, humiliating and they'll not be able to go anywhere before someone grabs them.

    Oh brave man taking on a beatable 13 year old :rolleyes:

    Obviously common sense can never be used to describe something on boards. An adult beating a 13 year old and taking their clothes etc... Sounds like a pervert to me. "Common sense" would say that most people would rather the slap then a label like pedophile but if that's what you want why wait till you get a slap. :p

    There is nothing I carry around with me that I can't replaced. Just because you don't get to beat up the guy doesn't mean you don't do anything.

    I'd say stick out the leg and trip em. if they fall down the stairs, say it was an accident "they ran into your leg as you were getting up from your seat." ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,566 ✭✭✭GrumPy


    I dont know what i'd do in such a situation, im only 17, but im not a fcukin scumbag, and would never think of doing such a thing, if it happened in a public place, (busy street, bus etc..) make your voice heard, and call them a fcuking scumbag as thery run away like pussys, you may not be able to catch/ or do anything about it, but witnesses, and people who see your reaction hopefully will stop the cnuts and take them down, giving you a chance to call the police, and rob the cnuts phone and let him run off, now you have everything you need to give to the police, his numbers, videos everything about the scumbag then he'll get into sh1t, violence is not allways the answer, but im sure if they got a thump every second time they tried acttacking/slapping you, th'd think twice.

    You could beat them black and blue, you will have plenty of witnesses on the bus to say that they simply fell ;) and we all know those cameras are never working.
    If some scumbag slapped me in the street I would hurt them badly, you do not need to show open force, you can push their eyeballs in or squeeze their skull or fish hook them. The best is an arm lock as it appears as self defence to any passerbys, while you have them in an armlock push the fuc kers face up against the wall and discretely rub it into the hopefully rough wall , I would have no problem doing this in front of a garda.

    Ok fair enough if you're a guy and are strong enough to beat someone up, but I'm a girl so what the **** would I do? I can kick very hard but I have no strength in my arms, certainly not enough to take on a bunch of knackers - and I wouldn't want to risk being gang raped

    No matter how strong you are these guys can out number you and have weapons. All the "strong lads" just have not experienced the out numbering or weapon situation and don't realise the risks as far as I can see. The best way is to avoid all the situations from the start and secondly don't aggravate and thirdly get out of the situation.
    As a woman when attacked you go for their eyes with your keys and don't stop. If no keys use your hand with your thumb under your fingers (think sock puppet)
    . You don't need sthregth it's easy to unbalance somebody and or temporary blind them.

    this thread is full of internet toughguys, just like every other thread on this subject EVER.

    anyway, speaking from a girl's point of view if I was being menaced by a bunch of scumbags I would just run like hell.
    I did a self-defence course in transition year and one thing I still remember is the shin-scrape - scrape the edge of your shoe(this would work very nicely with doc martens) down the front of their shin, then stomp hard on their foot. guraranteed ow, and if you're wearing pointy heels you could do some nice damage!(then take the stilettos off and run like hell...)

    Very true about shin scrape, but if you miss the foot or catch it wrong youve got a broken ankle as you force down with your weight, oh and you also have an angry rape crew to deal with!!!

    Its people like MorningStar who make up juries and act as Judges. Hence if you were attacked by a gang, the proper course of action is to surrender, do whatever they say. If they hit you, try to reason with them, perhaps hold a group conselling session. A group hug can really break the ice. Running away also means they feel unthreatened, and thus are more likely not to attack you or others again.

    If you really cant bring yourself to act as an unofficial community outreach officer, then inform their parents. You do not need to concern yourself that you might get assaulted by the class of parent who brings up such nice well adjusted thugs. Call the Gardai, they always need a good laugh reading over description like "Teenager, wearing a tracksuit, with baseball cap and skanger haircut". Thatll narrow it down.

    Do not defend yourself. If you do youre an evil SOB who should be locked up for life so you cant harm any more vulnerable individuals who are simply expressing their lack of a father figure.

    was just reading a post there about an egging in dublin.

    this has just reminded me of similar, but more serious form of asault which has sprung up in london.

    happy slapping.

    these teenage fcukwit scumbags, walk up to a member of the public and give em a hard slap in the face, while there mates recorded it on there video phones.

    friend of mine said she seen it happen to a woman in london, i seen one too, in london also, guy just looked shocked.

    my question, if a 13-17 scumbag slaps you in the face, and you're an adult, what can you do?

    i know you cant hit kids, but are you aloud to defend yourself in this situation? ie, slap em back

    A friend of mine saw it happen to a guy in a suit who was happy slapped in Manchester by a kid who was in a group of 4 or 5 that looked around 13 or 14. The suit guy ran after him, tried to push the kid in front of a car (which skidded to a halt) and kicked the kid repeatedly in the face (while he was lying in the road) until he was pulled off by two other blokes.

    Cool.

    I just wonder how many other people have been slapped by that kid after the incident?
    My bet is zero.

    I'd say you're right.

    I wonder if any charges were pressed? My mate says there were loads of people on the street. It was around 5pm on a weekday.

    If you are going to assume my views for me get it right. The objective is to stay safe. You don't take on a gang of people is what I said. The reason being you are putting yourself in danger. I also never said don't defend yourself I suggested you choose your battles more wisely.

    Do you think people get stabbed for not fighting back? Three 16 year olds could easily kill you without any weapons let alone one with.
    Find out who they are and address the problem later when safer or a more calculted response can be made. Only a dumbass thinks he can take on a gang on his own. If somebody is doing a slap happy thing they aren't on their own at least one other person is involved. It stupid movies that make people think they can take on a gang of people, the reality is unless you have a lot of training they will beat you up due to number alone
