I recomend that you and anyone you are with start happy slapping the happy slappers
although im sure everyone would love to do this do you really think it is safe? These kids that are doing it are monsters and may have an array of weapons on them. I think a safer option would be to try and get help or call the police

A friend of mine that travels in central america alot has told me to carry a small Vise-Grips and "attach" it to anyone who gets a bit rough.




anyone that has used these for anything knows that once you clamp them down they dont let go. I'd bet that if you succesfully got one of these on somone else that they would leave you alone right quick and start paying attention to this biting sensation on their body.

But anyone who's used them also knows that it's not a millisecond process to get the buggers attached, leaving far too much time for your attachee to squirm away.

Not that I would know anything about that.

It would also seem like it would be the start of a riot. I mean a few people fighting, then a few more jump in, then who knows who jumps in to stop YOU from "attacking" those people, etc, etc, etc.
