Brooklyn Man Suspected Of Attacking Jew In 'Knockout' Game Charged With Hate Crime

Police have been investigating reports of a frightening new fad in Brooklyn recently — a "game" called knockout in which a group of people find and assault unsuspecting Jews.
The crimes can carry charges more serious than assault. Amrit Marajh, 28, was charged with a hate crime on Sunday for allegedly punching a 24-year-old Orthodox Jewish man Friday morning, ABC News reports.
The victim reportedly told police that he heard his attackers daring each other to punch him and talking about the knockout game, according to ABC.
The "game" is very dangerous and violent and involves attempting to knock a person out with a single punch.
Several attacks have taken place in Brooklyn since September, NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly told CBS News. One surveillance tape shows a 19-year-old Jewish man thrown to the ground after a group of teenagers hit him.
NYPD's Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating the attacks. Police are also stepping up patrols in areas where attacks have been reported, according to ABC.
The trend isn't exclusive to Brooklyn, and cases have been reported in at least six states. Three people have died so far in attacks linked to the "game."

Ridiculous
(I cancelled my local newspaper just this week for this sort of deception and political correctness.)
Let’s stop calling this a game. It’s ludicrous.
Too bad hate crimes laws won’t work for me. Its plain ol’ assault if someone attacks this whitey.
Stupid, stupid people. Don’t they know that Jews are the only protected white men in America?
They are just being as specific as they possibly can.
We can eliminate positively groups of doorknobs, groups of trees, and groups of SUVs.
All you-know-what would break loose if they targeted homosexuals. The media wouldn’t know WHAT to do with that!
It figures that the one attacker actually charged with a hate crime in these knockout assaults is also the one attacker found so far who is not African-American.
Another feral pavement ape, I see.
Based on the perp pic and the name, I’d say he’s a jihadi.
Head on a swivel and a lead filled 12” club is my game.
Same thing. They all need to die.
Another Trayvon wannabe. What a maggot.
“Hate Laws” are asinine. It is indeed plain ol’ assault.
I would love for one of the potential victims to pull out a gun right before being attacked by 30 of these thugs.
