It’s an outrage to call this a game.
Two words: concealed Carry. And since it’s illegal in New York - go fish.
What would happen if this were groups of white skin heads smashing old black people or other minorities?
It’s all just a fun game until some Trayvons get shot.
I thought that was a “win.”
If white people start knocking out black people what will the media call it?
Let's be honest, few whites want to be around black youths because of the latter's propensity for violence. Liberals enable this problem, and they have it in their power to halt it or drastically diminish it. They don't want to. By not clamping down on young, black males they're planting the seeds for a possible huge racial conflagration. Nasty white racists will be blamed, but the real criminals will be the black youths who are attacking innocent citizens AND!! the libs who enabled them.
A bunch of self-loathing, envious blacks who hate everyone who makes them feel inferior have chosen violence to express that hate. Call it racially motivated crime, or call it an expression of the race war, but put the participants out of their racial misery by killing them.
“Two words: concealed Carry.”

Get real ! While I agree in a citizens right to bare arms, it is ludicrous to think that every citizen, especially senior citizens, will spend their lives packing heat every time they go out the door. If it could come to that, America would be lower then a third world country.
The cure is to execute the felons within 24 hours after a speedy trial.
We're talking NYC here, not Texas. There are few concealed carry citizens in NYC and they are the type who never go to these Brooklyn neighborhoods.
I’m a senior citizen, and I have a CHL. I carry every time I leave my home without exception. The only decisions I have are: 1) which pistol to carry, and 2) which holster configuration to wear. I also maintain proficiency by going to the range once per month, and sending at least 50 down-range. The biggest and most disturbing problem with people my age is that they still believe the LEO’s will protect them against these and other criminal events.
....when people start to protecting themselves, it will no longer be called a "game"
“I’m a senior citizen, and I have a CHL. I carry every time I leave my home without exception.”

While I respect your right to carry, I think it is ludicrous to see an America where everyone, especially senior citizens, having to pack heat every time they walk out the door.
Even in a third world country, I do not know anyone that thinks that way.
If one thinks that is America today, they need to get the hell out of dodge.
Bingo. The law abiding are disarmed, and people wonder how events like this could happen and attempt to sweep the phenomenon under the rug.
The fallacy in your argument is the straw man that anyone here is suggesting that EVERYONE, or at least every non-felon, needs to engage in concealed carry. No one has suggested that, and it is not necessary. You just need enough sheepdogs among the sheep to make thugs think they might end up like Trayvon.
For more on the general idea, go find the famous sheep / sheepdog essay on firearms carry.

I do understand that there are very dangerous areas in America where it is prudent to carry protection. I never have, and would not choose to live in such areas.
When I moved out into the countryside of west Tennessee, an area of many Afros, a friend gave me a 380 to keep for protection. While I was not comfortable having it, I did keep it in a closet until I could give it back to him. I also had a 22 for shooting snakes or other wild vermin. That did come in handy on several occasions, but I have never been close to needing a weapon against another human.
If America reaches the point where no one feels safe unless packing heat, then it is time to find a new life elsewhere.
