FYI - Violent street game called "Knockout".

I felt I needed to share this with everyone here.

Share this with people you know who often-times walk alone...Scary and frightening.

I'm glad I live in a neighborhood that's expensive enough that gangs of ruffians don't roam the streets. That's what I'm paying for.

[Banquo]

gangs of ruffians

LOL! That must be one really expensive neighborhood. Are there any hooligans?

Not sure about hooligans, but there may be rapscallions about.

[Banquo]

Yeah. You gotta watch out for them.

[wideopenears]

I always saute the rapscallions before using them.....they're much tastier that way.

[JKL2000]

I should have said expensive town, not expensive neighborhood. Actually, some ne'er-do-wells do occasionally venture into the less desireable areas, but usually all they do is steal things from cars that have, for some inexplicable reason, been left unlocked by their owners. Where we live, there's never anyone about at night who doesn't live there, and if they're out they're walking their dog or taking a walk. Most nights it's amazingly silent, and I like it that way. I had my fill of city living after almost 50 years in NYC. It was time to bug out. Just in time to avoid Knockout, I guess!

Try the veal. WOE is here all week!

[nosebone]

A wilding we will go.

man, that is disturbing

[Banquo]

First off, it's not a game. It's criminal assault. One day someone's gonna try and "knockout" the wrong guy and get their fucking head blown off. That'll be the end of that.

Don't get too comfortable. Bad shit happens in the nicest of places.

The punk-ass kids who do this this call it a game but I agree, it is assault.

btw: This made headlines on FOX news the same day I originally posted this. Newscaster made a direct appeal to Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson & the President to openly condemn this activity as all of the perpetraitors in the video were Black.

Of course they did.

That apparently already happpened. Except the “wrong guy” turned out to be a 60 year old woman.

That is excellent!

[Rune Blackwings]

I am happy to say there are no blackguards here, let alone rapscallions, ruffians or hooligans.

[Rune Blackwings]

Of course they did.

because, you know, such things are NEVER done based on race, so why implore anybody to condemn it

[Scott Bails]

Not saying that it's NEVER based on race, just that it's not ALWAYS based on race.

[Rune Blackwings]

Yeah. right.

[Scott Bails]

Well, okay then.

[Jerjo]

Once again, it's just a media scare.

I can't believe it is only black kids doing this? It appears so from the news footage though. White and Asian kids must be doing it as well, no? How well respected and/or unbiased is that news channel? Is it possibly a right wing channel?

[Adm.Kirk]

I don't really care who is doing it. It's wrong. But yet we will sit here and discuss it, Fox News will discuss it and it will be all over Facebook. Nothing will get done until 2 or 3 people die. Where are the parents for these kids roaming around doing this?Doesn't our education system teach anyone anything? Our society here in the U.S., or what passes for society, is in the toilet. Blame can be passed around to every one. Our system, from what I can tell, has failed.

Actually, someone has now died from this "game".....I agree with you about the missing parents in this and our society in-general

Well, it might have been but the media may have now elevated it to a real phenomenon.
