Hmmm, the opposite of polar bear hunting...

My guess... just a guess, YMMV... stuff like this probably has been going on since rowdies got too much ale in pre-revolutionary America. For which they’d be whipped at the whipping post or something like that. But little of it tied to racial tensions until modern times.

This is different. This is the fruit of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan -- all the people who have been telling black people for DECADES that the reason why they live such crappy lives, is because "The White Man be keepin' you DOWN".

So the black teens look at their lives, see they are going nowhere, and it's all the collective fault of white people.

The knockout "game" is not rowdy youth -- it is angry blacks seeking retribution against the whole of the white race.

In your local rag this would have been reported as a simple assault (story from 2012):

http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/reporters-beaten-by-mob-of-blacks-and-their-newspaper-stayed-silent.html

Ethical questions are being raised both inside The Virginian-Pilot and in the Norfolk, Va. area after two of the paper’s reporters were attacked and beaten by a mob of at least 30 blacks, but was downplayed by police and withheld from the public for more than two weeks by the newspaper’s editors.

Reporters Dave Forster and Marjon Rostami were leaving a concert on the night of April 14 when a crowd of around 100 young people gathered on the sidewalk near their car. Rostami reached over to lock the door.

According to a police report obtained by Fox News, a black male hurled a rock at the car. Forster got out and tried to confront the individual who damaged his car. Instead, a gang of attackers began punching and pound the reporter. Police would not confirm the exact number — but at least one account put the number at 30.

Rostami tried to pull him back inside the car, but others in the crowd began attack her, the police report stated. She was beaten a half dozen times by an unidentified black man.

The quintessentially-wrong Wright. The “God damn America” preacher. Well he certainly managed to get a lot of black America cursed that way. Kind of makes all other spiritual intrigue (Masons, etc.) pale.

Yes, the juicy details would be missing.

“Some players were white; most were black.”

No, I think they’re all black.

The History of ‘Knockout’: Unprovoked attacks by Negro youth looking to do nothing except inflict pain on anyone who looks white

Are we censoring our lead in titles?

If you do, remember that it is your word against his, so if he is not saying, you will usually win in court.

After Zimmerman, forget the cops and court. If I have to fire, I'm getting out of dodge and then keeping my trap shut.

HiTech - In your local rag this would have been reported as a simple assault: the dots would NOT have been connected... In many ways this was the original 'Zimmerman' story... (story from 2012):

It was around in the 90s in NYC, only the blacks doing it were then calling it “Herbing.” The “Herb” being a white, senior male...preferably wearing glasses.

Juicy details? The truth.

If whites were randomly attacking blacks in the same fashion the ‘juicy details’ would have been on the front page of every newspaper in the country.

You know that HiTech.

Only blacks are doing it now.

If one white, Asian, Hispanic, or Native American did this the New York Times would run it on the front page above the fold as an ‘equivalency’... And every suck up paper in the country would follow their lead.

Thanks for sharing Roccus.

A hate crime is a crime against a minority and is screamed about by members of that minority.

This is a purely sociopathic act. All humanity would have to scream.

> Young people — sometimes female but usually male, predominantly black, in their teens to early 20s, in groups or alone — approach unsuspecting strangers and punch them in the head as hard as possible with the intention to knock them unconscious with a single blow.

Predominantly black?!

Why can’t the MSM tell the truth and just say ALL black. I haven’t read or heard about any knockout games where the perps weren’t black.

78-year-old woman walked down the street in Brooklyn

If the poor 78-year-old woman had defended herself and shot back at him, his mother and her friends would have been out on the streets, holding hands, and swaying while singing "we shall overcome". Never would it cross her mind that she had utterly failed as a parent and should actually hide from the public in shame at how her son has turned out. Beating an elderly woman, is what a coward, fool, and wicked individual would do. Especially doing it for bragging rights.

Even worse are the fools who march to protest when such behavior has consequences.

Upcoming TV specials.

Oprah "Old white folks just have to die" Winfrey plans a spectacular event to honor African-American Knockout Game legends.

The legends will be a mystery seated randomly in the audience of mostly white folks.

"It's a surprise. Audience members will be floored when they find out who among them is actually a guest of the show to be honored," quipped one of Ms Winfrey's trusted aids smiling broadly.

I had to put my hand on my revolver once. I didn’t have to pull it but the act did not go unnoticed by the the three thugs that were preparing to rob me as I pumped gas into my truck. One looked at another and shook his head and they all slunk back into the shadows, including the one standing in the middle of the road acting as a lookout. This was wise on their part as the plan I was preparing to execute involved gasoline and muzzle flash.

By the time you think you need to cross the street, the predators have already ID’ed you and figured out counters to any effort at evasion. You are the gazelle and they are the hyenas.

If you have to cross, use that time wisely by drawing your weapon, taking it off safe, putting a round in the chamber, knowing you are now dealing in quarter to half-second intervals. You should be thinking in terms of target analysis, first salvo being one each to attackers, followed by second shot at misses and those not slowed down by the first round.
