The one game where everyone is a winner!

I thought this thread was going to be about One Hand Football.

I take it I am missing something? I don't see anything?

A round of the disturbing game "Knockout" — in which teenagers try to punch out unsuspecting passersby — ended with the arrest of four suspects in a New York City neighborhood Friday.

Has been going on nationwide for a long time.

Clarification: black teenagers targeting white victims. It is a race-based "game".

It's funny, the media created a new ethnic group " white-Latino" for the Martin/Zimmerman incident, purposely injecting race in to it. But with these race-based crimes they purposely fail to report the details to remove race from the story.
No agenda there, huh?

I really don't give a **** one way or the other about how it is reported, the thing that bothers me is the complete lack of civiity in a lot of young people. This knockout kind of stuff is sick, just sick.

I hope never to see that kind of violence but these days you hold a door for someone and they glare at you, or wave them in to traffic and they don't say "hey". People are just filled with selfishness and hate; not all, I know, but times have certainly changed.
I know I sound like an old man but my dad told me "you hold that door for that woman and "you stand up when you are introduced to someone. Did you say please??!! Thank you??
You treat other people how you want to be treated. Don't you throw that on the ground, what's wrong with you??!!"

To this day if I walk through a grocery lot and some elderly person is loading their car I stop and ask if they need help, and occasionally they think you are getting set to accost them. It has been a gradual decline but civility is on its way out.

It's sick. And yes, it's racist. Human garbage

And yet another reason Conceal and Carry is a good idea. You don't think this "game" would stop Nationwide, once a few of these pieces of garbage get capped after unsuccessfully knocking someone out?

Obama said the police were acting "stupidly". Where is his A## on these punks?

I thought I heard about that happening once recently, but I could be wrong.

1 punk got shot last year, but then he got only 1 year in jail for the knockout
punch. Too bad the punk did not get shot in the head.

'Knockout game': Teens attack innocent people just for fun
Jeff Rossen and Avni Patel TODAY





Pennsylvania schoolteacher Jim Addlespurger was walking home, minding his own business, when a group of teenagers knocked him out in broad daylight with no warning at all. He dropped face-down to the curb.

It's called the "knockout game": teenagers knocking people out for the fun of it. They even target women and children. Cases are piling up, and police are on high alert.

"I was hit with one punch that knocked me to the cold concrete," said Addlespurger, who has since recovered from the attack, which was caught on video. "It's a horrific thing to see, and I'm fortunate that I'm alive here to tell you about it."

Police fear the knockout game has been spreading, with cases from San Diego to St. Louis and Chicago. In Syracuse, N.Y., two men were killed in a possible knockout case. In New York City, police are investigating at least seven attacks, and have made one arrest.

One knockout game video shows a woman walking down the street when a stranger runs up and clocks her from behind — a sucker punch so brutal, the victim lies on the sidewalk, unable to move. In New Jersey, it appears suspects filmed their own attack, laughing and bragging about it.


Surveillance video shows an apparent victim of the "knockout game" fallen on the street.

"It appears these are just random acts of violence," said former FBI profiler Clint Van Zandt. "There's no robbery, there's no rhyme or reason; it's just simply youths making a decision they're going to punch somebody out — sometimes as simple as $5 bet between themselves."

Seventeen-year-old Marvel Weaver admits he played a version of the knockout game using a stun gun. He was caught and is now in jail.

"It was a lesson learned," Weaver told TODAY. "Someone throws it out there: 'Want to play this?' And people go along with it and one thing leads to another, and it just goes all downhill."

"These kids are acting, maybe not thinking and not knowing the consequence of what could happen," said knockout game victim Jim Addlespurger.

In New York City, a man arrested for playing the knockout game has been charged with a hate crime. Police believe the victim was targeted because he's Jewish. Now, as these videos end up on YouTube, officials are worried about copycat attacks in cities nationwide.
