Four members of a gang who attacked strangers at random, apparently filming some on mobile phones, have been jailed for the death of one of their victims.

What the hell is this?! Stupid kids. The worst part is that they were acquitted of murder...

Can someone tell me what the Soho nail bomb event was? I'm clueless on that but it's mentioned frequently in the articles.

Happy slapping has been common in Britain for a couple of years now, since the introduction of mobile phones with built-in cameras. It's usually school kids bullying each other, filming it and posting the videos online.

The Soho nail bomber was a psychopath who wanted to be famous for terrorising London by planting nail bombs targetting racial minorities and gays. He was quoted as saying "I saw the people I was going to maim and kill. I did not feel joy about it. I did not feel sad. I just did not feel anything. It was my destiny. If no one remembers who you were, you never existed."
