After one murder and who knows how many beatings, city officials finally admitted the Knockout Game has come to Syracuse.
Absent one fact: The Knockout Game is part of an epidemic of black mob violence played hundreds of times across the country. It is documented in “White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence and how the media ignore it.”
But the chief of police and the mayor could not bring themselves to say it. Talking with reporters Thursday night, they said the violence was a “random … teenage” thing.
One week after the fatal attack, the Syracuse Post-Standard reported some of the details: A 51-year-old ex-con was waiting at a bus stop, an unopened can of beer and the change from a $10 bill in his hand.
One person hit Michael Daniels, dropping him to his knees. They ran away, but seeing him helpless, the group returned. The police won’t say, but it could have been as many as five people. Or more.
That is when it got nasty: They punched and kicked him until one of his eyeballs came out of its socket. They laughed at that. He died the next day. There was no robbery.
Thursday, the police announced two arrests, and said they are investigating other recent cases of people playing the Knockout Game.

Violent crime during the Depression seems to have been concentrated of a popular individuals at that time. Bonnie and Clyde, Bugsy Malone, John Dillinger, Baby faced Nelson, Ma Barker and those types were criminal murderers fighting a Robin Hood type battle. They were popularized as fighting the Banks, the Government (G-Men), the “system”.
As far as I can recollect, they did not just beat up a citizen standing at a bus stop. They did kill Law Enforcement officers, bank personnel, G-men and a few innocent bystanders but their main target was not a random individual standing at a street corner. They stole money and if someone stepped out of line, they killed them in cold blood but that is not what we are seeing today.
Today, due to many reasons, life is cheaper and it is “cool” to be armed like an action figure to just go out and kill for the heck of it.
I believe that it is the culmination of evaporated family values, loss of religion, the Protestant Hard work ethic, and lots of Hollywood movies where, for the last 40 years every good looking gal & guy has his/her hands clenched around a pistol with their arms extended outwards as they kick in a door.
I come from an NRA family and I can tell you that the glorification of blam, blam, blam has tipped the population’s mental state to the point where shooting a firearm is a rite of passage for many folks. There is so much more gore in films and TV than at any other time.
All those shows about solving what? Murders and forensic sciences. It’s all about violent crime and that is our entertainment today. It’s no wonder that people keep shooting people in a random way.
Or Virginia (for now, anyway).
20 years? That’s being nice. I’d give ‘em 35 with no parole and even have an eyeball surgically removed...then they will “see” the wrongness of their actions..
They committed murder. Justice demands their life.
That was second on my list.

Excerpt:
The first blow struck Daniels on the side of his head, a witness said.
Daniels staggered and looked around. There was no one in front of him. The kid who threw the punch was young, maybe 10 or 12, and had lunged from the side to strike Daniels, according to a witness who gave a statement to police.
Daniels stood 6-feet, 1-inch and weighed 240 pounds, according to arrest records.
The kid and four other teenage boys ran across the street and stopped to look back at Daniels.
Then a taller kid in a red hoodie, the hood tied close around his face, and the kid who threw the first punch ran back toward Daniels. The smaller kid waved back the others, a witness said.
When the two reached Daniels, the bigger kid in the hoodie started swinging.
Three punches and a kick dropped Daniels to his knees, broke his glasses and left him sprawled on the sidewalk, said Joe Brown, who says he saw the attack from an upstairs window.

Enough of them need to get shot while “playing” this “game” to discourage further occurrences of it.
Here’s hoping that when the prey get tired of it,
they remember not just the attack dogs, but their “owners”.
———five people———
Well no, the attackers were feral african tribalists. They can not really fit within the definition of people
That’s an awful lot of trouble for a solution.
A better non lethal course is exile.
Nope, it’s not violence. It’s the fruit of Political Correctness, the philosophy of nonjudgementalism/nonthinking, at least in the police and mayor.
For the attackers, it is liberalism and the welfare state that destroys families, makes fathers little more than mounting bulls, and eliminates personal responsiblity via state action.
The violence is just one symptom. They kill babies in the womb, why stop there?
We execute far fewer people than we used to. Back in the day, when our population was 1/2 what it is, we executed 4x as many people. We also executed them within 3 years of the trial. Executions were not only carried out, they were carried out while the crimes for which punishment was being levied were fresh in the public's mind. Asian movies are far more violent that ours, and Asian crime rates are far lower.
I had this happen in New Orleans some years back, during Mardi Gras of course.
Group of feral youts, sucker punching from the side...About broke my nose, but with the alcohol, I did bleed like a stuck pig.
I’m sure as soon as one of the shits is caught, you’ll hear (grand)momma’s “He is a good boy”.
And the talk of 20+ yrs.? For what? For them to come out after 10 as a bulked up Islam convert? No, jail doesn’t DO anything anymore.
For the hitters/killers....DEATH. For the others, 30 yrs. hard labor (China works for me) and put one of their eyes out, with a spoon, no drugs.
I’m just sick of coddling these types of low-lives. And the ‘justice’ system is about a joke.
That's really the only solution that has any chance of working - and the only form of death penalty that will serve as an effective deterrent to the perpetrators.
I can't believe how many are not in the paper. Where I live in rural Virginia the majority of kids "smoke". They are learning from pot legalization in other states, the cops don't care, and they are never in the paper.
This is the point that someone with cajones shoots from his window and risks the trial by jury.
The had several in Austin a while back, but hey that’s Austin and it was centralized to a liberal part of town in the entertainment district.
Asian movies are more violent but are they all with hand guns or Smurai swords and nonchoks? Do they depict flying kicks to people’s heads or the gore being blown out of the side of a victim’s head as in Hollywood?
So what is the reason that there are so many murders in the States and not in Asia? The availability of weapons in the marketplace?
So are you saying, not enough capital punishment?
Exile? To where? That also costs a lot of money, no?
>Put me on a jury and let’s give them 20 years each.
Only 20? In order to end this evil act, minimum life in prison with hard labor even if the victim lives and recovers fully. In addition to their life in prison, a regular schedule of inflicted pain to remind them of what put them in prison. Intentional harming of innocents is unforgivable and should ensure a lifetime of misery for the perpetrator.
