Sick Knockout Game

[Guest]

Right. The only gun problem I see is that there isn't one to hand every time one of these little twerps decide to play games.

[ReeferMadness]

Much of it does. Sure there are societal pressures, but if brought up right, those pressures won't have that much of an influence on you.

If I had a kid and he/she took part in this kind of activity, the kid is going to get knocked out as well. And considering the circumstances, I don't want to hear about child abuse or other crap like that.

And how do you define bad parenting? I'd like to know if I'm doing it wrong.

Oh, yes. There's the problem - America doesn't have enough guns.

Oh, they probably have enough. They're just not all in the right place at the right time..

Funny, that. That is one of the problems with firearms. They seem to be always around when you don't want them.

I'm sure the NRA could train kids to draw on and shoot bad parents.

Not in this case.

Yep, and there's never one around when you do. Except, as Shady pointed out, in this case.

With any luck, it'll encourage more potential victims to carry one.

Not in this case.

Exactly and from the several major cities where these incidents have occurred, there lies strict anti carry bylaws and “gun free zones”…………Let me know when the kids start playing “Knock-Out” in the Dallas-Fort Worth area……or Casper…..or Salt Lake City…..or Montpelier…or Scottsdale….or Anchorage etc….

My thoughts exactly……..I fully agree that if these punks feel they have the right to play a game with other people’s lives, then said people have the right to defend themselves.

Cant argue with that. Frankly in my opinion if you decide it would be fun to attack someone and that person kills you in self defense then you quite simply got what you asked for.

How would you define bad parenting? I am not a parent, but I do have an idea.

Are your kids respecting of others?

Are they courteous?

Are they in trouble often?

Do your kids bend to peer pressure?

Do your kids respect you?

I am sure most parents can figure out for themselves, but many are lazy and simply allow the system and state to determine what kind of rights and wrongs they put into children. So some of these kids are a product of our current state of society.

If these were my kids, I'd have no problem with 'knocking them out'. There would be discipline.

It's part of the breakdown of civil society which liberalism and progressivism have been chipping away at for decades.

No, it's an urban myth generated by the media based on a few random incidents.

Unfortunately not.

And given that violent crime has declined significantly over the past 20 years, I guess progressivism is finally taking root and people are learning to love one another.

I tried out this knockout game yesterday for research purposes. I took out 2 old ladies with roundhouse kicks to the face and a homeless man with a knee to the groin and then I stepped on his kneck...followed by a viscous crub-stomp. I was then told by my research assistant that even though I kicked the homeless man's ass I didn't technically knock him out (knock-out strikes need to be directed at the head for someone to lose consciousness, not the groin, neck, and jaw). Tomorrow I will try again.

All told, I don;'t see what all the fuss surrounding this game is about. It was good fun I say!

You have issues if you really believe what you said here. Defenseless, elderly people are getting slugged and you call it an urban myth. That's disgusting. Here's a newer incident.

Defenseless elderly people have always been slugged. The "game" is a myth. People often have a tendency to fall for anything other people tell them.

So you are saying this is an elaborate hoax? Why be a troll?

Good question. Apparently he thinks the arrests by the police are a myth too.

Careful now. You don't want to give those gun totin NRA boys any ideas. After all, there.s money in them that guns.

[BubberMiley]

Why be a troll?

You tell me. Let me reply by quoting the article I cited:

But do these incidents signal a nationwide crime trend? "No, if the word 'trend' implies some degree of increase."

Urban myth?

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.

And in New York City, police officials are struggling to determine whether they should advise the public to take precautions against the Knockout Game — or whether in fact it existed.

“We’re trying to determine whether or not this is a real phenomenon,” Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said on Friday. “I mean, yes, something like this can happen. But we would like to have people come forward and give us any information they have.”

...

Much news coverage of reported knockout attacks includes 2012 footage from a surveillance camera in Pittsburgh of James Addlespurger, a high school teacher who was 50, being swiftly struck to the ground by a young man walking down an alleyway with some friends. Yet the Pittsburgh police said the attacker insisted the assault was not part of any organized “game.”

“This was just a random act of violence,” Police Commander Eric Holmes said in a televised interview last year. “He stated that he was just having a bad day that day.” The assailant saw Mr. Addlespurger, the commander said, “and decided this was a course of action he was going to take.”

Now that this "game" was exposed as a hoax, it might be a good time to wonder why certain groups tend to jump on any stories of scary black people and how they are causing the downfall of modern society. What's up with that?

But it's not a hoax. Black leaders have come out and help rallies to help stop kids from participating in it. I guess they're part of the conspiracy huh?
