San Diego woman may be victim of 'knockout' game: Nami Kim says she was punched twice in face

SAN DIEGO - A San Diego woman is coming forward to say she is the latest victim of what is known as the "knockout" game. The trend of disturbing attacks involves randomly sucker punching strangers on the street.

Nami Kim is a Japanese immigrant who has lived in San Diego for five years. She calls what happened to her near the Gaslamp Quarter one of the strangest things she has ever been through.

"It's no reason," Kim said.

She said there is no reason for what happened inside a bar on 5th Avenue. Kim says she was leaving the bathroom when she hit with a single, brutal punch to the jaw.

"She punched me," Kim said. "I have no idea. I have never met them. After that, oh my God, I was so shocked, really."

Minutes later, she would get another shock. She was standing outside with her fiancé when she spotted her attacker again on the street.

"I said, 'Hey I want to take (your) picture … why'd you punch me, I asked," Kim said.

She snapped a photo of the young girl for evidence she wanted to take to police. Unbelievably, she says the girl actually posed for the photo, but it would not be the end of it. This time, her fiancé says he is a witness.

Kim, he says, was suddenly sucker punched by a second girl, someone who they had seen hanging out with her first attacker...

"Urban myth" according to many, including the New York Times, yet I could post about 5-10 a day.

I felt a need to make that tag even bigger. It was reading this article in Business Insider that gave me the urge to call you a racist (in jest): The Knockout Game is Terrible but Almost Certainly Overhyped

Here is a small excerpt:
"...Over at Slate, Emma Roller makes a convincing argument that similar incidents have occurred for years, and that recent coverage of the stories seems to be driven more by racial outrage than the events themselves. She contrasts the way the crimes are covered with the coverage of other crimes. "[It's] ridiculous to assume that a few unrelated counts of arson make arson an epidemic," Roller writes. "But when you inject race into the equation, it conveniently aligns with the assumptions of people who happen to be racist..."

Was it Godzira that punched her? Or was it a couple of Valley Girls?

About forty years ago there was a priest in Chicago name Fr. Francis Lawlor who tried to prevent white neighborhoods on Chicago’s south side from being taken over by the black underclass. Of course, Fr. Lawlor was accused of being a racist for noticing and objecting to black crime. Libs have been covering up the criminal tendencies of the black underclass for many decades. Libs are congenitally unable to face reality. But that’s why they’re libs.

Liberal fabian elitist governmentoids are mensheviks. Government free zones which fabians do not tread are bolshevik.

Accuzations of racism by blacks has become a way of encroaching territory and Obama is the knock out game king, while pretending to be king of us or the government bureaucratw.

The black reporter states that this incident may not be the “Knockout Game”, but rather a “Copy Cat” assault. ????????? + LOLOL

The victim said she now cowers when walking into the path of a group.

And they are incensed when we racially profile them?

As I have said before, it IS racist to say all black men take part in this activity, but it is NOT racist to point out that the vast majority of these crimes are young, black men against non-blacks.

The KO game is not my personal concern, because I try to keep situational awareness in public. The KO thugs go for unaware prey: drunks coming out of bars, ladies on cell phones, attacked from behind. They like to surprise sucker punch the unaware, and I am not unaware. Others are, and they need to pull their heads out of bliss-ninny smart phone land, and keep their heads on swivels looking around and evaluating people at a safe distance. Ordinary folks must learn to maintain situational awareness, that plus being armed equals street security, at least for me.

A bigger concern than the KO game itself is that the “game” is just a manifestation of the total lack of morals and empathy by these feral brutes. They had no fathers, and were not “raised” by their teen mothers, who often planted the kids in front of TVs or video games as a babysitter. The kids know more about “Grand Theft Auto” than “how to get along in the real world.” In GTA, you can just jog up and sucker punch a grandmother if you feel like it. It’s “funny.” No wonder they grow up as soulless little bastards.

And the KO “game” is done during good times, on full bellies. What happens when (not if) the EBT / SNAP welfare system implodes, and millions of these feral beasts are suddenly starving to death? I recommend the book “A Failure of Civility” for how to protect your neighborhood during a crisis period when starving people, including many with no souls or empathy, are scavenging through neighborhoods like yours, looking to take what they need. No. Matter. What.

Either I missed it, or does Kim never mention their race or color?.....Given the usual suspects, is the media too PC to tell us what these girls looked like?.....they even have a picture, but blurred the face.

Were they Amish?

My wife gets annoyed with me because I have problems just sitting with my back to the room in a restaurant. I’m very rarely surprised because I tend to stay hyper-aware.

So, you know to be aware of what is going on around you.

Yet, somebody continues to approach your space, after you’ve initially altered your route.

You raise your hands, open palm, shoulder width, and LOUDLY state,

“Hey, I don’t know you! Back off!”

Yes, even if you’re armed, this is your first move.

But it is racist when people cover for the perpetrators, who are racially motivated. What about the innocent people who are victimized by these little Nazis?

This television station obviously didn’t get the liberal propaganda memo that the knockout game doesn’t exist.

If you saw a group of unknown young black males walking toward you is it racist to be wary of them since it is racists to think that all black men take part in this activity?
