A teenager playing “knockout game” punched a Florida man in the face after making certain he was not carrying a gun, the victim told police.

According to a witness who saw the attack unfold, a teenager approached a man who was walking alone on Neptune Beach on July 31, the Florida Times-Union reported Friday.

According to the victim, the teen, who was with three accomplices, asked him if he had a “glock.”

While Glock is a weapons manufacturer, the term “glock” is also used generically to describe any type of handgun.

After the man said that he did not have a weapon, the teen punched him in the face.

"Best answer, “make your move and find out”!"

It was a movie but the best answer would be to pull it and say "Go ahead make my day"

I like this response.

You’ve got to ask yourself a question: ‘Do I feel lucky?’ Well, do ya, punk?

Shoot in the leg or the head doesn’t matter much - it might with an emotional appeal to a jury, but the main thing is the use of lethal force.

And your reason for using it after the fact when this young, unarmed, disadvantaged teenager who did not even cause any serious injury is not a threat to you or anyone else, is exactly what?

I’d say you’d be making a mistake of epic proportions.

That was after Dirty Harry had shot 5 or 6 times. he asked the punk, were you counting? Was it 5 or 6 shots. Do you feel lucky punk?

If you ever respond to that question with a “no”, the next sound that should be heard is the slight click of the safety on your gun being discreetly turned off. Which will hardly be remembered after the very loud reports of your bullets thereafter.

Well the last time I walked on Neptune Beach it was pre-mixed and a very safe and beautiful place to go. What can I say?

Another hate crime which will be reported as little black boys just being kids.

Pathetic, but true.

“Glock? Why no, my fine young man, I prefer the Beretta. The longer barrel of the Beretta combined with the CorBon+P 115 grain jacketed hollow points gives me excellent terminal ballistics at short range, and the higher velocity allows a relatively flat trajectory out to 100 yards ... run along now lads.”
