A sick so-called game known as "knockout" -- where teens randomly sucker-punch strangers with the goal of knocking them unconscious with a single blow -- is catching the attention of law enforcement throughout the nation.
"Knockout" can be fatal. In New Jersey, Ralph Santiago, 46, a homeless man, was walking alone in Hoboken on the night of September 10 when he was suddenly struck from behind, said Hoboken Detective Anthony Caruso.
The blow knocked out Santiago, who had a pre-existing brain injury. He suffered a seizure. The victim's body struck a nearby fence, with part of the wrought iron fence piercing his body and killing him, Caruso said.
Surveillance video in the area showed three teens running from the scene. Two weeks later, police arrested the juveniles and charged them in connection with the killing. Caruso said the attack was unprovoked.....

Just ignore that 800lb gorilla CNN.

They should be sucker-shot.
Don't have a ton of money? There's an app. for that!
“A sick so-called game known as “knockout” — where AMISH teens randomly sucker-punch strangers with the goal of knocking them unconscious with a single blow — is catching the attention of law enforcement throughout the nation.”
Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Shazaam. This must be something really new!
And CNN, always being on the cutting edge starts reporting on it after how many assaults? And how long has it been going on?
Now show some stones CNN and report them as racial attacks by feral black yutes. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Terrifying? Nor quite. Predictable? That sounds about right to me.
Fixed it for you CNN.
I like how everybody all of the sudden is finding out about this activity. This has been going since I was kid. Back then, we called it getting mugged or just plain being “assaulted”. The same sorts of people were doing it then also. The only thing that is different about it now:
1. They have given it the name, “Knockout Game”
2. There is a lot more video evidence of these crimes and the Internet makes it increasingly difficult to ignore.
It is a good thing that news organizations are starting to report these crimes. I also think that readers/viewers know what the news organizations are editing out and are starting to demand they these issues be discussed frankly.
Or actively covering for the attackers....
From CNN November 2012: Parallels to country's racist past haunt age of Obama
One author, Colin Flaherty, wrote a book about this alleged wave of racial violence called, "White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Race Riots to America." The various accounts follow the same pattern: Black "flash mobs" suddenly attack whites in public, followed by a media cover-up.
Flaherty, also a talk radio show host, said he first noticed the attacks in 2010. Since then, he claims he has seen "thousands" of videos of black mobs attacking whites.
People have called him racist, but Flaherty said he's just a "guy standing on a corner" reporting what he sees.
"White liberals go nuts on this," he said of his book. "When people use names like 'racist,' they're using it to shut down conversation, not engage in it."
The return of race war rhetoric has disturbing historical echoes, said David Godshalk, author of "Veiled Visions: The 1906 Atlanta Race Riot and the Reshaping of American Race Relations."
Godshalk said neither Sowell nor Flaherty have offered any statistical evidence that reports about "black mobs" are anything more than isolated cases. Sowell did not respond to interview requests.
The more it’s played up in the media the quicker and further it will grow
Since CNN describes this crime as terrifying, doesn’t that mean the perpetrators are terrorists?

[I] blame the media and parents for extreme aggression by America's youth. Negative attention is often rewarded.That's America. America loves violence and so do our kids. We market violence to our children and we wonder why they're violent. It's because we are.
Some young people are desperate for attention it is the 'Miley Cyrus effect' where teens will do anything to get noticed, no matter how heinous or unconscionable. These kids know the consequences. They want to get arrested. They want to get caught, because they want that notoriety. They know they won't go away forever because they're kids. It's a win-win all around for them.

There you have it. It has nothing to do with feral black scum growing up in homes thoroughly destroyed by LBJ and Democrats in general and reversion to jungle ethics and mores.
Figured it would make sense to first make an appeal to the father of influence.
Fox news has yet to speak the obvious either when I saw a segment Friday night. 2 women and a black guy and they showed like 3 videos of people getting hit. They wondered why the teens were doing this and could only come up with video games and boredom? No mention of race or lawlessness or Obama. We’ll see...
