The Knockout “Game”: Not Just for City Streets Anymore
DC Clothesline ^ | 11/30/2013 | Kimberly Paxton

Posted on 11/30/2013 2:03:46 PM PST by IbJensen

Some fads are so hot that they begin to escape their humble beginnings and spread beyond their original scope. Apparently the knockout “game” is just such a trend. It is so darned versatile that it can be played anywhere, not just on the city streets where it started out.

Take the halls of a public school for example. In Hamden, Connecticut a high school senior was punched in the face simply walking down the hallway last week.

A male senior was walking in the halls of Hamden High School on Friday when police said a student “ran toward him and punched him under the eye.”

Because of the assault, the senior suffered an eye injury. The victim’s injuries are not life-threatening.

The senior told police that he did not know who had hit him and never talked with him. However, a short time later, the high school resource officer located the alleged suspect.

He told the high school resource officer “it’s a game he and his friends play.”

The assailant was a 15 year old student. He has been arrested and charged as a juvenile with third degree assault.

Knockout, in case you’ve been sleeping for the past 6 months, is a deadly new trend of a member of a group of hoodlums assaulting an innocent stranger just to see if he can knock the innocent party unconscious in one blow. If the one blow is not sufficient, no worries – the fun isn’t over. The hoodlums then proceed to beat the living daylights out of the victim. Victims, by the way, have included a grandmother, an elderly man, a 12 year old boy… the more vulnerable the victim, the more “fun” it seems to be. Many times the assaults are videotaped and posted online. The crimes are predominantly black on white.

Apparently, no place is safe from violent thugs and random attacks anymore.

I hope that you also reached into your pocket, or your purse.

"Knockout, in case you’ve been sleeping for the past 6 months two years at least..."

Another thing about the article that needs to be fixed: getting sucker punched at school is nothing new...happened all the time back in the 80s and before. So no, schools aren't following the trend...it started years ago in the schools.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

why don’t we hold marches and vigils like we do to protest the bullying that happens in the lily white, tree lined suburbs.

Incumbency is the single most corrupting influence in our entire political system. Career politicians are killing us: that’s both parties at every level—local, state and federal. WE NEED TERM LIMTS and citizen representatives.

This "game" is not a game. It is a distilled, pure form of terrorism, and should be dealt with as such.

The object of terroristic attacks in the interests of anarchy is to create, with a few perpetrators, the aura of never being able to trust another member of your society; to install an overarching fear of your neighbor. It is to disrupt unity of trust.

From the article:

The crimes are predominantly black on white.

But even so, you're not always quite sure about who is going to be a perpetrator. That's the point.

That gives me hope, seeing a few zombies starting to wake up. We will see how serious they are in autumn of 2014. Most dyed in the wool DIMS from blue states will have to have their snouts vigorously rubbed down into the excretions and wastes that are the result of Government Overreach Reflex.

President should have ONE six year term.

Senators, one six year term

Congressmen, one four year term

and all out.

Same healthcare and retirement bennies as the public, SS, and if the dog runs: Obama care.

No protection except minimal secret service for president.

No bennies, nothing, No congressional dining room, no gym, nothing.

If any are found to be on the take: consider it treason and immediate execution after sentencing.

Frankly? Move. You are more valuable that what your government thinks you are.

all is needed is a couple of these thugs with a sucking sound coming from their chest and these foolish games will stop.

Better if everyone would buy bear spray and just dose them at the first sign of aggression. Then video tape them rolling around on the grounds choking and vomiting and screaming like little girts. Post a few of those on You Tube and let him answer to his friends why he crying and screamed (and choked and vomited) like a little girl.

And the authorities can not do anything cause it is legal in all 50 states! It also is harmless, even though it will stop a polar bear in it's tracks. It is just pepper and there are no articles in medical journals about anyone dieing from pepper.

The video's would be humorous.. to everyone except the bear sprayee who would live for about 30 minutes in excruciating pain. Some water washes it right out of you eyes and nose and you are fine.

And again, it is 100% legal in all 50 states and a large can costs only about $20, which is cheaper than 50 rounds of 45 ACP.

And yes it does work and yes it is completely harmless if you can get to some water and wash it off. p>

See #53. works every time even on polar bears. But they live and are unharmed in 30 minutes.

It will stop anything. My mom used it on alligator in Florida. It quickly went back in the water.

Not if you use Bear Spray, that will make anything choke and vomit but then leave. Totally legal in all 50 states.

Stop being afraid to identify violent blacks as criminals. It doesn’t help decent black families, and it doesn’t help America deal with the problem. It is cowardly to write or talk about the knockout game, and not identify blacks as the principle players. Yes, there are a few Hispanics beginning to play, and maybe there are a few white kids doing it, but the overwhelming number of players are black. Call it what it is, black racism, black violence, black hate. The hoodlums mentioned in this article are black.

Bear spray will stop blacks or black bears or polar bears. Best of all you can not be charged with anything and will not go to jail and it is harmless with a good washing with water.

That was my Christmas gift to all my family members a couple of years back. Less than $25 each. And you don't even need to shot the one you want to stop directly in the head like a zombie. Closes enough it good enough. It will stop whoever you aim it at. But kill nothing or no one.

Make a mental note of all liberals who live in your immediate area. When the SHTF pay them a visit. If you don’t they will become informants and will shelter the feral enemy.
