Are “Knockout game” fears an example of ‘moral panic’? (Spin & ridicule it, so it goes away)

Maybe if we hang those caught playing the knockout “game” from the lampposts in their home neighborhoods (after a fair trial). It might cut down on the number of “players”

You don’t want to be around when the pustule bursts.

Actually, the left must protect black victimhood.

Just imagine if everyone stopped recognizing black victimhood. The ‘rats couldn’t keep them on the plantation any more, and the “guilty” whites couldn’t be shamed into supporting racist democrat policies.

Maybe we just shoot them and leave them lying in the street with a note attached: “Knockgame looser”.

“moral panic cases studied by scholars relate to “seven areas: AIDS”

Apparently AIDS was no big deal.

Ah, definitely the Talking Point from the Commies this week. This same headline is appearing everywhere. Can’t those people think for themselves? Talk about clones!

Once in a blue moon, some skinhead-type thug attacks a black (or some other minority) without provocation. When the mass media talks about such an isolated, freak occurrence, none would dare call it a "moral panic" or hysteria.

Meanwhile, racially motivated black on white attacks happen almost daily, and the response from the Left is always "nothing to see here, folks!" Typical.

In past I thought a British tabloid could really run with the idea that Brits were traveling to the US to go on “hunting trips” for violent, inner city yoots. The idea would be that with an escort, they would enter a bad neighborhood, then when attacked, dispatch the criminal then walk away.

The escort would act as security in case they lost the upper hand. Importantly, there would be no mementos or trophies, and all evidence, including the weapon, would be destroyed.

Is Knockout Game denial further evidence that Liberalism is a mental illness.

The moderator removed my post at #6, in which I changed 3 words in the Declaration of Independence, to apply it to the current situation. Therefore I post the exact quote from the Declaration, and let the reader modify three words to adapt it to today:

"He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions."

I was wondering what happened there, as I missed it.

And whites would start complaining about supporting those knock out thugs with their tax money. No, whites have to be shamed into silence so that they will keep on paying taxes to the Democrats who will happily support their strongest voting group—blacks vote 95% for Democrats.

White guilt is the Democrats way of keeping whites on the Democrat plantation. The Democrats have been the enemies of the white population for over forty years. How stupid could people be for continuing to vote for the party that takes their hard earned money and gives it to the breeders of the thugs who will grow up to be the knock out kings.

Race is a factor for the alleged attackers as well, whether it is explicit (referring to as “Hispanic men” and running pictures of Asian or Black alleged assailants ) or implicit thanks to a certain choice of words. Newsweek writes that the word ‘thug’, used for instance on a front page of the New York Post about the game, is a demeaning word against “black men and boys.”

Just to make sure my comment isn't judged a 'dog whistle' ... The term 'thug' applies to people of all races who act 'thuggy'. In the case of the 'knockout game' almost all the thugs are young black men - and the victims are people of all races...
