OK – Before you get all worked up, I didn’t physically attack Santa, but I did SLAP him. Let me explain – do you remember the “Pay It Forward” movie with the concept of paying good deeds ‘forward’ to strangers rather than ‘back’ to your friends or family? Well ‘SLAP It Forward’ is based on the same idea.
Social Liability for Actions in Public (SLAP) is based on the idea that although we have the right to act like jerks in public, it cannot be without consequence. The next time you see someone acting like an idiot in public, SLAP ’em! Call them out on it; let them know its not OK to act that way. I know people say you can’t do that now-a-days because you could get shot, but I say the fact that we don’t hold people accountable for their actions is why you could get shot. I’m going to be part of the solution, not part of the problem – I SLAP’ed Santa!
