Em…okay.

It's done without empathy or any regard to the feelings of the victim. Humiliating them by putting videos up on YouTube is the icing on the cake.

Yep, I said it - bordering on sociopathic.

As others have said, it's also assault.

Sexually motivated assault with intent to humiliate. Not a million miles away from rape really.

What you never make a mistake or a prank in your youth?

Part of being young is making mistakes.
Nikki Reed

I am more tolerable to teens than to adults.

I think every teenager goes through their anger. People who are like, 'No, I had a perfect adolescence,' I never made a mistake, I never committed a prank, makes me wonder how that is possible.
Shailene Woodley

When I was fourteen, I got arrested for breaking into cars. My buddy and I had thousands of dollars worth of stuff, and we were tried and convicted, rightfully, of grand theft. Being as it was my first offense, I served probation only; and being as I was a juvenile, my record has been sealed. I have not gotten into trouble with the law in any way in the intervening 33 years.

However, none of that -- my youth, my good living since then, my discharge of my probation -- none of that changes the fact that what I did was commit a crime.

Forcibly stripping a person, be it public or private, performed by an adult or by youth, is a crime. Youth might mitigate the sentence, as it did in my case; but it doesn't mean that the act is not criminal.

That's certainly something you'd never say to his face. What a braveheart you are!

Because remember these are boys and teens making this pranks.

It's beyond a prank. But to get all legally technical, it isn't an assault, it's a battery. An assault is merely the threat of battery.

In a nutshell the elements of battery are:

1) an intent to make contact with the plaintiff which reasonable people would consider harmful or offensive to the plaintiff; 2) actual contact with the plaintiff which reasonable people would consider harmful or offensive; 3) plaintiff is actually harmed or offended by the contact.

No doubt the "pranksters" intend to pull at the the victims clothing. Reasonable people would expect that action to be offensive to the victim. The victim is indeed humiliated and offended. Thus battery.

Many states have definitions for rape that include unwanted sexual touching. So there are places this might be some degree of rape as well.

Is that you PhatMatt? The arrogant psychopathic attitude shines through.

Since I can't post nude images here I'm gonna ask you to go to youtube and type " sharking street " if you want to watch it for yourselves.

So tell me what is your opinion on this subject. You think i'ts horrible? An innocent prank? Worth going to jail?

It mostly practiced in Japan and Europe.
However in Japan the pranks are more exaggerated and extreme while in Europe not so much.

I call it sexual assault.

Quote:Did I ever said it was harmless?

No, you never said it was harmless. Then again, I never said you did. What I said that people who do this and are not punished for it are going to get the impression that it is harmless. Please make more of an effort to respond to what I said rather than what you wish I had said.

*chuckle* I'm not in the least concerned. Sadly - for you, anyroad - my missus has standards, and I can assure you that they do not include people who view sharking as youthful high spirits.

And for the record, it is herself that would do the stomping. Trust me - she wears the boots that can do it.

So I'm guessing the OP now knows our opinion on sharking.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. Don't do it!
