I realised that to call these youths 'retarded' would be an insult to those mentally retarded.
Morons? Idiots? Punks? Barbarians? Savages?
Why in the world are doing this? Its no laughing matter I can tell you that. Its life or death for God's sake. They savagely attack these people (usually many against one; or the victims are outnumbered). And the victims usually end up dead or have their face smashed in and every bones in their body made into powder.
And they claim its for honour and glory? What the flying f*ck?
Where is the honour in mass-beating a lone victim? And to film these savage and ruthless deeds to upload on video hosting websites for 'bragging rights'?
Hello? Haven't they heard of something called 'evidence'? How stupid is that?
What other reasons they give to do this? Pride? Herded mentality? Defend territory? Impress girls? Prove self worth?
Who the hell do they think they are? Spartans? (I admit that after watching 300, I kinda felt a little barbaric myself; that movie is such a 'guy' movie, simply awesome. And I wanted to kick me some Persian arse.)
Haven't they thought of the consequences if the guy becomes a vegetable or worst, die? They are looking at life imprisonment and caning and stuff. What, did they think that since there are so many of them, the life imprisonment term would be evenly shared amongst all of them?
Serving the jail term aside, who are they to savagely take away someone's life? Who's going to answer to the deceased parents? His loved ones and friends?
My sister and her hubby (then boyfriend) happened to see a gang of twenty or so skinheads beating a chub like a rag doll on the Padang late one night. To cut the long story short, my sister tried to call the police, the gang caught up with them, and beat up my brother-in-law (and yeah, he has bragging rights for that... hahaha).
So if anyone happens to see a pair of broken glasses on the Padang, please lemme know, cos my bro-in-law is looking for it.

Still on the topic of violent Singaporean youths, I stumbled onto this video while searching Youtube.com for more 'singapore-youths-fights'.
Remember the 'Bus Uncle' from Hong Kong? The one who cussed and swore at another passenger on the bus he was upset with? And you were secretly hoping that the abused guy would stop being such a wimp and get up to kick the moron where the sun don't shine...
What if that did happen? Is it justifiable? Well, maybe this 'uncle' deserves it too?
Blogger's Note: Video contains mild violence (duh) and vulgarities (double duh). Viewer's discretion is advised.
I don't condone violence. Neither do I condone any form of rudeness (in this case, aggression) against someone *much much* older (and more retarded).

Read the NewPaper for the first time in weeks today. Its really trashy-over-sensationalized-tabloid crap. But a good read nonetheless. Haha...
The headlines caught my eyes: Singaporean youths and 'happy slappings' caught on video cam and then posted on Youtube.com (or something like that). What the fuc*ing hell? So I'm going to dedicate the next few blog entries to the future and pride of Singapore, our retarded youths.
Here's one of the videos which they mentioned in the report. It was hard to find and the original was removed (I think), so here:
