Then again, a white Hispanic can shoot an unarmed, tea drinkin, skittle eatin black kid and skate.

Truly, this knockout thuggery should be charged the same way a bar fight, with tragic results is.
In fact, it should be charged higher and harder as there is no synchronous interaction.
Just ferals hunting innocent people, who have no idea what may befall them and are just as defenseless as being gunned down in a drive by shooting that has no natural enemy and no reason to wantonly attack the unsuspecting.
Just as much manslaughter but, in my mind, murder.
Exactly. The key is Intent.
What is the intent of those "playing" the knockout game?
Who/What are their targets of opportunity and what do they want to do to them?
Whatever the result, it sounds premeditated to me, in the first degree.
And, if one believes in the concept as we are told to, it's also clearly a racially motivate hate crime.
