New Jersey Homeless Man Ralph Santiago, Killed By Teens As Part of Horrific 'Knockout' Game

That day in September proved deadly. Without any warning, one or more of the teens punched Santiago in the back of the neck. The homeless man collapsed, and his head wedged itself between two posts in an iron fence. His neck was broken.

"I walk my dog a lot around here, and I see a lot of homeless," William Baily, who lived near the crime scene, told the Jersey Journal. "They get their sandwiches down the street. This is the first time I've heard of a crime like this happening here."

But it's happening a lot elsewhere. In places like St. Louis and Brooklyn and even London. And a lot of the attacks have been captured by security and cell phone cameras and are winding up online.

Ironically, Santiago was also attacked 27 years ago, which led eventually to his homelessness. He was a 19-year-old gymnast and break-dancer living in the Bronx in 1986. His wife at the time, Tracy Squillini, was eight months pregnant.

So events brought him down, the poor man. Praying justice is served.

New Jersey has its hands full right now, what with prosecuting the 72 year old man for possessing a 300 year old flintlock. Justice may have to wait.

Domestic terrorists ignored by the DHS for the rather benign ‘Sovereign Citizens’.

I would think not, it was the knockout game, they select someone and punch them. Dirty pool.

Irony is an event whose outcome is the opposite of the expected.

I would have used the word "tragically".

Just more proof that conservative Hispanics and whites have to band together for protection—Negroes will ‘knock out’ anyone who looks lighter than them.

Concealed Carry FTW

From what I hear, getting a carry permit in Jersey is not likely.

“increasingly popular pastime among the nation’s young”

Oh BS.

We all know it is amongst the nation’s word-that-is-so-taboo-it-is-worse-than-this-murder.

well, hopefully if they manage to get enough dangerous criminals like Mr. Van Gilder off the streets, criminals will be less likely to murder random people.

increasingly popular pastime among the nation's young — "knockout game"

A small segment of the nation's young, the city black segment, the ones termed officially "teens."

Whenever you see the word "teen" or "teens" in the press and it doesn't refer to black people younger than about 30, you know that a reporter is being disciplined for not following the style book.

It appears Santiago was killed in a murderous assault gone bad.

We need to correct the meme.

The headline reads: "Knockout" Game

I'd say it should be Knockout "Game"

What we have is murder and the meme of it being a "game" plays right into those who think that it's OK for one race to kill another to release "pent up frustrations".
