We are appalled by this attack by youths on an elderly woman.Why? No one strikes back, the police seem powerless, the thugs get away with assaulting people on a daily basis. Why be appalled when the society, by its inaction, encourages this barbarity.

We are appealing for the young people who saw it to examine their consciences and contact police, anonymously on CrimeStoppers if necessary.Yeah, that'll work. Where are these kids parents? There really does need to be an uprising of the mushy middle over there. There comes a time when enough is enough and if they don't stand up now, they will have no country to stand for in the very near future.

Good thing I wasn't there to see this or that punk would have met up with the "Happy Nutcracker".

None of that nonsense happening here in TX or FL where citizens are not required to drop their pants and bend over for criminals and miscreants.

Why won't some scrawny, giggly 15 year old punk try to slap me suddenly? I'm out of practice when it comes to taking punks 'to school,' as I used to say, and I can use a refresher!
(I'm not responsible if he suddenly finds himself hurling through a plate glass window or something]

The thugs assault people with impunity and take photographic evidence of their crime to boot.
How long do you think they would stand around punching and taking pictures if one of their victims pulled out one of these?

"Elderly Woman Left Humiliated by 'Happy Slapper' Attack" Oh please Dear Lord, if any of this crap ever happens in my neck of the woods, let me be there and aware. I will be happy to slap back!

Me and my dad were talking about something similar last night (some asshat decided to key 13 cars on are street, including mine. To say everyone on the street is in full vigilante mode is an understatement) and we got talking about old people being taken advantage of by kids and came to a conclusion. Elderly people should just shoot punk kids in the leg. It'll make people think twice before they start screwing around with the elderly. Sort of like the Seinfeld episode where the old guy steals. Honestly what are they going to do them?

This is terrible. When the respect for mature people erodes to such a point as represented in this article, there's no hope for this society. It's alarming this has taken place in the UK.

Cutesy name they've got for assault.

Agreed. I think I would be forced to "Gleefully Pound the Snot out of them" back. Guess which one of us would go to jail? Sigh......

This sort of thing would never have happened to my Grandmother or her older sister. Granny or Aunt Alice would have popped the the little sumbich. Granny with her .38 police positive or Aunt Alice with her little Browning 32 auto.
Of course this happened in England and this is 2005, so I guess the days of Granny and Aunt Alice have passed. Darn-it
