An armed society is a polite society

Well, this is the opposite of that.

From The Sun in jolly old England:

A VIOLENT craze in which thugs slap strangers across the face and record it on video phone is sweeping Britain.

The so-called "happy slappers" attack while an accomplice captures it to post on the internet or send to another mobile...

...There have been 100 incidents in London alone, leading to eight charges.

This is what you get when you outlaw self-defense.

Duh.
