This is a scary thing we see happening in our society lately.... If someone stalks and 'jumps' someone to rob them, many people think that the victim should just take the beating - or at least wait until one punch before death before defending themselves.

It's a sad, sick world we live in where these vicious young thugs are 'defended' in a way where the victim was expected to just take their assaults.

And some ridicule spidey for being prepared/aware of your surroundings at all times. May have saved this guy.

Not that I don't get that, but plenty of people prefer not to live as prisoners to their own paranoia.

Can't hang em, they are black. Could you imagine the racial headache that would cause?

So what?

If the punishment fits the crime, color of skin shouldn't matter.

If people act like animals, they should be treated like animals, regardless of the color of their skin.

Knock-out game != pass-out game

Knock-out game is where you try to knock some unsuspecting innocent person the fuck out with a sucker punch. Pass-out game is mutually consenting stupidity.

I'm don't think it's paranoia. It's just being prepared/aware. There's a hundred different things you do every day to protect yourself...seat belt, meds/vitamins, check ups, hand washing/hygiene, exercise, looking before you cross the street, making sure the stove isn't hot, lock your doors, bike helmet, proper food prep/storage, etc, etc. You're willing to accept these things as normal when some of them would have been crazy not that long ago. So are you paranoid or prepared/protecting yourself?

The knock out game is something these little thugs are playing nowadays..

They run up, punch someone in the face trying to twist the head with the punch IE instant knockout before (hopefully) just robbing them and leaving them on the sidewalk.
