What are the rules in the knockout game if somebody fights back? Would that be unfair and racist if victims fight back? Do we have to be liberal and have compassion due to the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow, and not judge these people harshly???

I’ll explain the rules. Try that in Texas and chances are, male or female victim, the police will be scraping your carcass off the sidewalk and your intended victim going home to a celebratory steak dinner and good night’s sleep in their own bed.

Back in my day we used to punch each other in the arm, and whoever screamed first or showed pain on their face lost.

At least we weren’t killing each other, though I was bruised up most of the time.

The rules are: Your victim must have no idea they are about to be struck. Walk up to them nonchalantly and if they notice you and look at you to evaluate your intent, label them a bigot and get them on the nightly news for profiling. Wait for Sharpton to role into town. You win.
If your victim’s don’t look at you to judge your intent, hit them hard enough to kill them and laugh as they crumple to the pavement. You win.
It’s win win.
When someone puts a microphone in your face and asks why you killed a complete stranger, look child-like and say you were just playing a “game.” Remember to look vulnerable, misunderstood, disadvantaged, and as if you are being selectively profiled. Wait for Sharpton to come into town. You win.

and the other guy you hit made a conscious choice’to play the game and wasn’t going to in turn smash you in the face after you punched his arm.

These animals are the minority who have survived abortion. How many of them were “raised” by mothers who just couldn’t get organized enough to get an abortion?

Our society doesn’t have a leg to stand on if it objects to what these animals are doing.

Paper covers rock, scissors cuts paper and rock breaks scissors. And shooter kills puncher. (See “Zimmerman vs. Martin”).

Gosh, I sure remember the arm punching, although as I recall nobody ever hesitated to wince and complain, except you did have to laugh it off.

Your picture reminds me of this story, which unlike the Knockout Game, has a happy ending!

We called the game “Flinch” if you could make the other guy flinch you got to hit him. Not the most intelligent game but both parties were willing players and you always walked away.

It would be a righteous act to bash the numbskulls of these reprobates into their brains and hand over the carcasses to their progenitors.

That was a good, well written story.

This was my favorite part “The final decision was up to the President. He needed time to think it over, and went upstairs.”

Thanks for posting that link.

As I remember (wincing) that’s where the term came from
“Two for flinching!”.

Probably an old Marine Corps game...fun guys Jarheads.

Course not like the old Corps, when a bar fight was
considered good clean fun and garrison belts would
be wrapped aroung fists with the buckle out.

Ah the old days.../s

It’ll be a cold day in hell before one of these hood rats KO’s me.

I’ve been sucker punched by big tough guys and it only made me mad.

If one of these baggy pants, 160 lb. wannabe’s slugs me, they’re going to find themselves on the business end of 6” of serrated VG-1 steel, or a double tap of 9mm Hydra-Shoks.
