WCBS-TV ^ | November 26, 2013

Police are investigating if a 72-year-old woman is the latest victim of the so-called “knockout game,” a violent trend in which youths sucker-punch unsuspecting strangers for kicks.

Mira Harpazi was walking two blocks from her home at the Starret City housing complex in Brooklyn when she was punched in the face by a man in his 20s, CBS 2′s John Slattery reported Tuesday.

Like other alleged ”knockout” victims, she was not robbed, but left on the street injured.

The attack was the most recent in what may be a disturbing series of similar assaults. Online videos from various cities show young suspects randomly punching innocent victims.

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly was asked Tuesday whether these are bias attacks.

“The seven core ones happened in the Crown Heights area, which certainly has a Hasidic population and some of the victims were Hasidic males and children and I actually think a woman as well. So, we’re not discounting that,” Kelly said.

The commissioner added that each case is being examined individually....

It would serve the public more if the liberal media would tell its readers what these punks really are...feral blacks.

“Latest” victim is not true. These things are far too common for anyone to be a “latest victim” by the time his incident makes it to MSM or even to the internet.

"feral blacks"

Shhhhh....the most treasured conceit of the elite liberal class is that blacks are routinely harassed and/or subjected to violence by racist whites. The fact that the reverse is true, whites are routinely harassed and subjected to violence by racist blacks, gives libs nightmares. Now the great majority of the non-lib/non-black population know the truth about the black underclass. But since libs are the densest Americans, they will be the last to come to their senses. If ever.

Here’s what it’s really saying. We’re investigating to find out if the victim is a minority. Jewish included. If so, then we’ll call it a hate crime. If she’s just an ordinary White woman, we don’t give a damn and you will not hear anymore about it.

The fact that white people even say the words: Knock Out Game, prove that they are Racists. Because 'everyone knows' that those words are really White Racist Code Words for:
'Hey Boys, fire up the Pick-Up truck. Lets go find us some young nig-ers to shoot! We have 'Stand Your Ground Laws' as our excuse!
And don't try denying it you Hood Wearing Klansmen. The Southern Poverty Law Center, Eric Holder, and the New York Times is on to you Right-Wing Extremist Racists! You just want to go terrorize innocent Black youth who are just *goofin' around*.

And if they do hit anyone -- which hasn't been proven -- it's only in self-defense, or because they were called some terrible names and goaded into a fight in the first place.

...“knockout game,” a violent trend in which youths sucker-punch unsuspecting strangers for kicks... she was punched in the face by a man in his 20s...

So, now a man in his 20s is still a "youth"?

Why of course. He can still stay on his parent's health care policy until age 26!

Oh, wait. More likely, his Mommy is on Medicaid and this "youth" probably has no idea who his "Daddy" is. In any case, he gets treated "free" either at the ER or on Medicaid - if he has even bothered to sign up.

We love to subsidize our criminals and layabouts in this country!
