That the DOJ finds nothing wrong with this, and the MSM has tried to hush it up so as to not embarrass Obama (it’s his sons doing it, after all), speaks to a level of corruption and depravity that, perhaps, can be reversed only by an armed uprising of the citizens.

This is one of the latest instances of “Knockout,” a “game” of evidently increasing popularity.

This 'game' has been going on for a number of years. Cops didn't report it as a pattern because they didn't want to get labeled as 'racist'... The press didn't want to see it because it doesn't fit the lies they put out. This is NOT new...

“GAME” — how the he11 can anyone call this a game. Maybe we should just start randomly shooting blacks and call it a game — think that would be accepted as a “game”. What is happening is assault and battery done by thugs, mostly black who don’t think anything will happen to them because of the Black in the White House and DOJ. Obama seems to have an opinion about everything that happens with “white on black” but is always silent when it is black on white. What a sorry excuse for a president

Time to play the “wood shampoo game”.

Knockout have surfaced in the past week, including an assault in San Diego, the first reported on the West Coast.

The first 'reported' isn't the same as 'first happening'. The knockout game is one more reason to hate liberal elites... they kept the lid on this horror to protect votes for democrats.

Hate crime (to belabor the obvious)

If this becomes even more “popular” than it already is, and Mayors like the recently elected Bill De Blasio of NYC are going to clip the power of the city cops, I expect an increase of the number of vigilantes in our streets — people who have no choice but to protect themselves ( remember Bernard Goetz? )

youths used to either go to school or work, or both.

but with the new Transformed Amerika, they (and their parents, if they have any) sit at home collecting sixteen different types of welfare

and for entertainment they go out and try to kill the rest of us in the streets

this is what we get for voting to undermine American and Judeo-Christian values, and our economy

My guess... just a guess, YMMV... stuff like this probably has been going on since rowdies got too much ale in pre-revolutionary America. For which they’d be whipped at the whipping post or something like that. But little of it tied to racial tensions until modern times.

A mugger at least tries to steal something from you. These “knockouts” just do it for the heck of it.

This ‘game’ has been around a while. In about 1989 or 1990 I was walking just outside the French Quarter in New Orleans. A few yutes of color were walking towards me on the sidewalk. One of them, a full foot taller than I sucker punched me completely to my surprise while another reached for my back pocket. I didn’t ‘knock out’ but instead came up with my knee as hard as I could into the tall guys groin. As he buckled over I hit him as hard as I could across the face with both hands clasped together and then pulled out my Buck knife. They all backed off and it was over except for my anger increasingly raging inside of me for the next couple of hours. I was lucky they did not have a gun and they certainly wouldn’t be here today if I was packing as I always do now. That was the last time I ever went to that $hit hole of a city.

20 years or more it’s been going on an the media finally “discovers” it.

They saw obama on the ropes and decided it was a good story to run with.

Most of these folks have left New Orleans since Katrina devastated it.... only to spread their moral virus to where they relocated to.

This is happening because these people are desperate, economically deprived and on the verge of starving....

Wuht?

This is Trayvon Martin making a successful assault, and getting away with it. Because that was clearly the inspiration here, and these youths are just copycats of the original assault.

But nobody wants to call this the racial crime that it is.

It has many of the elements of train dodging, stepping off the track at the last possible moment, or of center-line road chicken, seeing who will swerve first.

“Catch me if you can.”
