Auburn Dad Knocked Out By Stranger at Celtics Game
Union Leader ^ | April 18, 2015 | Jason Schreiber

Barry Hammer didn’t know what hit him.

A night out at a Celtics game with his wife and twin boys on Tuesday turned into a nightmare when he was punched in the face by a total stranger for no apparent reason. “I’ve never been punched in my life,” said the 38-year-old Auburn dad who’s still stunned by what happened in the mezzanine area of Boston’s TD Garden during his kids’ first Celtics game.

Hammer said he believes he was likely the victim of a so-called “knockout game.” The game has been seen around the country and involves attackers who sucker punch random people for a laugh.

But neither Hammer nor his wife and 10-year-old boys were laughing when he was knocked unconscious and left with a black eye, several cuts, bleeding on his brain, and a bump on the back of his head. Hammer said the incident happened when his family decided to leave the game at the end of the third quarter. It was a school night and he and his wife, Lisa, wanted to get the kids home for bed.

They stopped to use the restrooms before leaving....

You can look, but young Jason Schreiber self-censored and BPD have no suspects.

They haven’t caught the guy yet but as the newspaper article does not give a description of the suspect, I think we can conclude from that that our suspicions are well-founded.

School children in Chicago are being taught that whites are inherently evil, that they create evil institutions and that they deserve no quarter or mercy and must be punished for their racist crimes.

Maybe white family men should avoid taking their wives and children to negro sporting events.

Every school child in America who attends an organized school that uses an "approved" curriculum is being taught that, one way or another.

‘I don’t get it...I voted for Obama.’ IF a white apologist, he just learned a hard lesson. Avoid ferals...you know the kind.

Let’s say you’re that streetwise guy who not only blocks the punch, but proceeds to beat the crap out of your assailant.

What happens next?

Who gets arrested? You or the perp?

I'm waiting for one of these thugs to try it on someone with a firearm. I will rejoice when he gets blown away. That may be the only way to discourage this cr@p.

"I don't get it...I voted for Obama"

I don't think he said that. And, to be fair, he's chosen to live in the whitest part of America.

It's very interesting living here, among the most homogeneous (and racially unaware) population in the country.

The vast majority of people in Vermont, NH, and Maine have never entertained a racist thought in their lives. They've never experienced even a racist feeling.

But when queried about just what it is they like about this frozen wasteland with 20% unemployment and no infrastructure, what they say is, "people are so friendly here, safe, good place to raise a family, good neighbors, don't lock my door, good schools, etc. etc."

Not much chance of that happening in Assachusetts.

I didn’t SAY he said that...it was speculation, but that is how many whites THINK in Red England. They think they have paid for past ‘sins’ by voting for Obama. Obviously, blacks disagree.
