Fear swept through Borough Park, Brooklyn, as soon as the news got out: A young man was randomly assaulted by strangers early Friday morning, and the attack was possibly part of the so-called Knockout Game.
Four men were arrested, but on Friday night only one was charged and the others were released.
The attack added to a growing log of reports of such crimes in the Northeast and beyond. Young assailants were randomly picking unlucky targets and trying to knock them out with just one punch.
Yet police officials in several cities where such attacks have been reported said that the “game” amounted to little more than an urban myth, and that the attacks in question might be nothing more than the sort of random assaults that have always occurred.

“Teens,” “strangers,” anything to avoid saying blacks. Blacks are playing the knockout game. They are going polar bear hunting. There have been a few reports of dark Hispanic kids taking part, so it might be spreading, but for now it is almost exclusively a black activity. The radicalization of blacks, and the leftist destruction of black families and black minds has a price, violence.
I’ve got the nickel version. But living in CA unless they try to knock me out in my kitchen it won’t do me me good.
Yep. I’m sure the police have no idea what is going on. One hopes that a Slimes writer gets “educated”.
So far as I’m aware, this is the first time the NYT has felt the need to lie about the nature of the racist knockout attacks. That constitutes progress.

If there are no more parameters or ‘rules’ than that it really may not differ enough from a random assault to matter. There would have to be an uptick in racially motivated hate crimes or a truly organized campaign for police to be interested.
They just might.
Keep 'em clean, close at hand, with plenty of ammo ready to go--if I have to make my stand in the kitchen, why, I will.
I’m waiting to hear that the pre-emptive “1911 Game” is taking hold.
The media simply refuse to report the truth; i.e., that Black crime is out of control and is costing America hundreds of millions of dollars every year.
Great Picture - I posted reflexively without looking down the thread to see that you had already made my point in exemplary fashion.
Who are the primary perpetrators of the "Knockout Game"?
Police officials in Syracuse said the city had seen two such attacks this year, each fatal, and they were on the lookout for more. The police said that at least one of the assailants said he was playing the Knockout Game.“I think it’s very real,” Sgt. Tom Connellan said. “As opposed to a motive for assault, be it anger or robbery, this is strictly for a game.”
Situational awareness is a life-saver. I like to count "targets" as I walk in any city business district - people walking around on the streets while texting or with their iPod earbuds blocking out the sounds around them. They may as well be wearing sandwich-board signs that spell out "Attack Me".
Yeah, how could they possibly know, they don't keep records or anything.
An urban myth. That’s what the newspapers of record in 1930s Germany called Kristallnacht, when rabid anti-Semites murdered Jews while the police refused to intervene.
How many Jews will rabid anti-Semitic blacks be able to kill in New York City before its newspaper of record calls it what it is, a holocaust?
The media are such lying vermin.
•Bored youths (28%)
•I don't know. (22%)
•Amish youths (6%)
Obviously the responders are unfamiliar with FR speak.
Here's their correspondent Walter Duranty's story on the Ukrainian Holodomor (Stalin-induced famine):
“Any report of a famine in Russia is today an exaggeration or malignant propaganda. There is no actual starvation or deaths from starvation but there is widespread mortality from diseases due to malnutrition.”
I voted Amish.
