KNOCKOUT: New game for 'urban' teens?

[GTaudiophile]

Sorry to sound racist; please let me know if any white kids are interviewed in this video. I seemed to have missed them.

Potentially Fatal ‘Knockout’ Game Targeting Strangers May be Spreading to D.C.




"Let me know if any white kids are interviewed, I seemed to have missed them".

Yes, this is racist. And you are talking about something that has been around for decades.

game has been around for a long time. killed a few people in my area here and we cracked down on it pretty good.

dumbasses think these people they knock out....just sleep and wake up no biggie. Extremely dangerous being knocked out outside the ring because of concrete landings....

 

[MisterJackson]

Sick motherfuckers. Maybe people should start preemptively returning the favor.

 

[boomhower]

Not new, been going on for years. Sick bastards.

Some kids playing that 'game' killed a homeless guy in Hoboken (across the river from NYC) not too long ago.

You are at best, ignorant. The "game " is most likely older than you are. It existed in the 50's in what was a predominantly white, northern European ethnic group, mid western city.

Open Chest anyone?

 

[SheHateMe]

LOL White Kids had been playing this game forever. How did you miss the news reports about all of that? It was a big deal until the white kids moved on to the next best thing......using medical grade alcohol to get drunk.....and then the next thing....and then the next. I think they're on twerking now. I'm not exactly sure.

I don't know if I agree so much that this is a BLACK youth problem....the problem is a bit more complex.

Why do our poor, urban youth not value life?

Why do our poor, urban youth, find humor in violence?

Why do our poor, urban youth, not think about the consequences of their actions?

Now....we can't just say "Hey black kids, stop punching people!" because the environment they are in either allows this to happen or even promotes it.

None of this excuses violent behavior however, I don't care if you are poor, malnutritioned, etc. etc., none of that should ALLOW you to just punch, rob, or shoot innocent people.

So we have to look at...why is this happening to black kids?

Where's Mom & Dad?.....Oh here's the problem.

That and the fact that DC is 90 percent black.

I will laugh my ass off at these fucking pussies when they hit the wrong person and instead of going down he blows their heads off or at the very least beats the living shit out of these bitches.

I'm sure white kids also "play" this bullshit to, just because they talked to black kids doesn't mean their the only bitches that do it.

If I had a group of 3 to whatever amount of full grown people saying they were going to knock me out...I would probably avoid them if I could. If I run and they chase me, I'd turn and shoot all of them.

I'm not going to risk a brain injury or even death.

If someone says they will assault me until I'm unconscious, I consider that a threat to cause severe bodily harm.

Now just because someone wants to fistfight you, doesn't mean you have the right to shoot them....but if you add in a whole group of people...you are alone and can't get help...I hope they made peace with their decision!

"laugh your ass off" until Al Sharpton forms an angry mob to defend the misunderstood, underprivileged youth against the guy who defended himself...

No.. The Right Reverend Sharpton would never stoop *SNERK* to the level of race *CHORTLE* baiting public opinion *COUGH* in order to forward....

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..

Sorry guys... couldn't keep a straight face. ,

i would murder anyone that tried that shit on me.

 

[BUTCH1]

Big fucking deal, sucker punch someone, even a woman who has no idea it's coming, that's supposed to make someone a tough guy?, I agree with the poster above that I hope one of these assholes gets shot when they attack someone who's armed.

I would acquit you.

 

[Geosurface]

Firing squad for anyone who can be proven to have participated in this "game" IMO.

I approve. With people dying from the attacks it's not too big a leap to try the attackers on charges of attempted murder in the first degree, premeditated, no extenuating circumstances. Life in jail if the victim survives, death sentence if the victim dies.

 

[SlitheryDee]

Yeah this has been around for a looong time. I think it has been co-opted by "urban" youths in the US lately, but every race has done it.

I remember some guys from my old highschool telling stories about how they would all drive around in someone's truck with a long stick looking for people walking on the side of the road to hit. I was pretty horrified even then. AFAIK they never killed or seriously injured anyone, but it wasn't for lack of trying. These guys were all white.

Some people are just psychopaths when they're teenagers I guess.

With their friends lurking less than 100 yards away, DeAndre and Deshaun attacked The Wrong Guy. Then came the surprise: The Wrong Guy fought back. He pulled a knife. Soon DeAndre was dead, and Deshaun was on his way to the emergency room.

It's WND, but:

Lots of people joined with Moss to say they had no faith in the police investigation. And they believed the crime against DeAndre and Deshaun was racially motivated.

“Why should another one of Gods black angels die without no type of justice again from the meriden police dept,” Edwina Lebby posted on Facebook. “If it were a white kid justice would of been served!!!!”

Course in most cases a an armed person is not chosen but some random person, often permanently injured or they end up dead.
