Not only is the “knock out” game spreading across the nation… But now grade school kids are getting in on the “fun.”
A group of grade schoolers attacked a Peoria man on the street this week.
Knockout Game
(VIDEO-AT-LINK)
CI New Now reported:
A violent game is trending nationwide –even grade school students are playing. It is called the “Knock Out” game. The goal is to knock someone out — with a single blow. Generally, the victims are unsuspecting – waiting at bus stop or just walking down the street. There have been hundreds of cases nationwide, and police say it has now happened in Peoria.
Daniel Wilson says he was walking home last night from the bus stop on Harrison. When he got to Folkers Avenue across from Trewyn middle school, he was blindsighted by two attackers.
Luckily for Wilson, a nearby youth program officer, an ELITE officer, Bill Cannon, was able to identify the attackers.
The victim says he’s shocked at who they were.
“I never thought in a million years that grade school students would try to knock me out,” said Wilson.

Minority enrollment is 88% of the student body (majority Black), which is more than the state average of 49%.
And if you hit the bastards you will be charged with felony assault on a minor.
There, accuracy is important.
the part of the story that is ALWAYS left out.
If the races were reversed, and we had a white, GOP POTUS, this would be addressed on a national level. As it is, the best course of action is old advice: if you are non-black, stay away from blacks. PERIOD.
Count me as unshocked.
There was a term for this type of thing when I was a kid. Over 50 years I've been told that it is a racist remark.
Can clear observable really be racist? Or is it just acknowledging them that is racist?
Certain groups start acting violently at an earlier age than other groups. Those groups also start having sex at an earlier age than other groups. Political correctness prevents me from mentioning the names of the groups, but I think FR readers know what they are.
Insterestingly, 94% of the grade and middle school kids are on “Free Lunch” program.
Guess they need to create a few jobs for those misguided youts so they can PAY for their lunches and stay away from playing some stupid game that may eventually get them killed when one of their targets decides to fight back.
“Minority enrollment is 88% of the student body (majority Black), which is more than the state average of 49%.”
The American White (non-Hispanic) population for Illinois is 63.1% (sounds like a problem to me)....and the state average for school population is 49%?
What have done with the rest of the American White children?
A superb reason to carry a quick draw sheath knife. Using a concealed carry weapon is tricky, especially if you have been sucker punched in the head and are in a “standing eight count” frame of mind with your attacker right next to you, intending on punching you again.
A knife can be out and in the “back off” mode so quickly that even if they rush you they will get poked or cut. And if they do back off, or at least keep their distance, it gives you a second or two to regain equanimity, and enough distance to draw your concealed carry.
New York Times writer calls this the “knock out racism” game.
Agree it’s why they act like they do and the parents are clueless to the fact their kids are a$$holes.
“the parents are clueless to the fact their kids are a$$holes.”
“parents?”
Do you think any of these kids is worried that the old man is going to discipline them if he gets word of this?
That’s the problem they never had discipline it lets them run wild.
I have black friends. No problems at all. The key is, I don't live in a major city surrounded by ghettos.
Stay out the cities!

“Political correctness prevents me from mentioning the names of the groups”. Prevents you? Really? Is there a big bad P/C man that will come get you if you do?
