‘Knockout game’ getting clobbered by media
Seattle Gun Rights Examiner ^ | 21 November, 2013 | Dave Workman

Posted on 11/24/2013 7:13:41 AM PST by marktwain

Reports have been surfacing for days across the country, including yesterday’s story in Philadelphia, and another in Washington, D.C., about the so-called “Knockout Game” in which thugs have targeted people, frequently women, at random and attempted to knock them unconscious with a single punch.

(snip)

Earlier this year, a 17-year-old punk in Lansing, Mich., identified as Marvell Weaver, was shot twice when he apparently tried to take things to a higher level by using a stun gun on his intended victim. Bad luck for Marvell, now in jail, because his stun gun didn’t work but the .40-caliber Smith & Wesson semi-auto pistol being legally carried by his intended victim did work. The incident has become a centerpiece in the controversy.

After being shot, according to Guns Save Life, Weaver pleaded with the man who shot him, insisting, “I’m sorry, please don’t kill me, I don’t know why I did that, I’m high you know, I just wanna go home.” Whatever happened to "just say 'No' to drugs?"

In a couple of cases, according to published reports, the victims of this savagery have died. Others suffered head injuries.

It should be noted that, according to the FBI Uniform Crime Report for 2012, more people were killed (674) with “personal weapons” (hands, fists, feet) than rifles (322) and shotguns (303) last year. Perhaps Washington Ceasefire should target knuckles and boots rather than so-called “assault rifles.”

Maybe the teflon is wearing off a bit on the Obama presidency, and it is allowed to talk about black on white crime, if it is egregious enough, and common enough, and has been going on long enough...

The thing is....if the culprit is caught....it’s a hate-crime, and the whole community will stand there in a fury...this marvelous law designed for them, and being used against them.

The article in our local rag under the Washington Post byline today missed one key point, any identification of the attackers. Just listed as “youths”. I guess they need to be asked, exactly what is a “ute”.

The Criminal Media Syndicate, formerly known as the Mainstream Media, needs to be reminded that, sooner or later, the victim of one of these attacks will be THEIR son, THEIR grandmother, THEIR husband. Maybe they’re waking up to this fact.

The reports from Philadelphia AND DC mention the perps as ‘kids’, ‘teens’ and other nondescript terms. NOT ONCE does either source mention BLACKs.

Forced to report it now, but as will nearly all black on white crime, the reader is relegated to take it upon himself to see if there is a perp-shot picture at booking.

IOW, they’re intentionally doing this, and reporting as just ‘kids/teens/youths’ is BS

Yes, it is intentional. Yes, it is deliberate. The AP stylebook teaches it.

and in the mean time Travons mother and Crump are trying to change any law that will allow respectable, normal citizens to arm themselves against these feral black “yuts”, a breed the included her POS son.

No it won't. This is Holder's just-us department and these are Holder's peeps.

Young Black men.

The operative word being ‘Black.’

Look for it in vain in the media coverage; it’s not there.

When will Eric Withholder’s Injustice Department (or Department of Just Us) go after this campaign of hate?

If there was a rash of church fires, or dragging deaths, there would be federal investigation into links between the crimes and the lack of prosecution of the offenders.

Holder won’t do anything to stop this.
He sees this as legitimate payback.
He is on their side.

From the movie My Cousin Vinny, the judge asks Joe Pesci, what is a ute.

I like to call them the regime-stream media, but your point about the evil chickens they've nurtured eventually coming to roost is well taken.

Personally, I'd like to see the courts treat anyone caught perpetrating a knockout the same as an adult first degree murderer (regardless of actual harm to victim) and fast tracked to the gas chamber. Better still would be to see the majority of them put down on the spot like the inhuman feral dogs that they are.

Well, for one thing, it's not a federal crime.

The simple fact of the matter is we shouldn't want the DOJ involved -- especially not Holder's DOJ.

It would be sufficient (and appropriate) that local law enforcement deal with the problem -- forcefully.

None of these media reports mention race, the Atlanta NBC station did not last night. The media continues to prostitute itself to cover up the race factor not only here but in almost every crime. Its gotten so absurd that their non description is a clear description of who committed the crime.

Yes...I've seen the film a dozen times. The question is generally stated as "What is a 'yoot'?"....or "What is a 'yute'?"

See, I was having a bit of fun at your expense.

We can speak the truth when we stop being afraid of liberals calling us names. "Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never harm me..." and that includes being called the name 'racist'...

Looks like the 'knockout game' is more deadly than people thought...

As long as the media and law enforcement continue to treat them as mischievous “yutes” just playing a childish game, the problem will only get worse. Personally, I think the parents of these devil spawn should be held accountable also.

Part of the problem may be that these animals have no recognizable parents.
