"New York (CNN) -- A sick so-called game known as "knockout" -- where teens appear to randomly sucker-punch strangers with the goal of knocking them unconscious with a single blow -- is catching the attention of law enforcement throughout the nation."

What's wrong with the parents raising these dysfunctional kids?!!
Kids today are just ruthless punks being raised by single parents
who were dysfunctional kids at one time.

I don't know if I'd call them punks but I'd call them cowards. Imagine, they are striking old people. Kind of sick when I think of the 71 year old woman victimized recently by these cowards.

galrads: uh, I think no one is promoting any of these attacks which have been, so far, mostly attacks on mostly helpless people... sometimes even beating some of the victims to death.

Both the left and right politically strong media networks here in the USA are reporting these increasing number of incidents to the public. One example of good journalism imo.

These Perps are nothing but cowards and they need to be reached by someone with help for them, quick.



I'm not saying the media are purposely promoting this sick behavior. But they are spreading the news to every sicko who is just jumping at the chance to get his/her minute of fame. It's not just the news media,, but also the internet,,, It's a real problem... Like school shootings,, there are many copycats that follow the news reports.

A scenario I'd like to see on the news would be a bunch of bystanders banding together, and beating these punks to within an inch of their lives,,
Or a news report where some punk with a gun in a school gets gunned down by a teacher before he/she has a chance to kill.

Evil is evil, anyone that assaults another human is a bully.
Bullies have mobs to protect them.
The mob is people that think (if I beat, I will not be beaten)
When will people learn?
Is it better to be beat or to be the beater?

Dadude62: Good,,, let's roll,,,

I remember as a 5 yr old kid there was this bully who would beat me up often after school. I finally fought back, that kid never hit me again. I remember the adrenaline, the fear, the anger. I have had that experience a few times more in my life with bullies. I can't stand them. I really don't want to be pushed to that fear and anger.
There was this video on tv lately where this little punk was beating on a chubby kid. It did my heart good to see the chubby kid pick up that bully, lift him over his head and smash him on the ground.


I was bullied once. Wasn't a pleasant experience till I bullied back. USMC can help you that way, even if you're staring at a chance to ship out to Vietnam like so many of my friends did, and didn't return.
Good friends too.

But yet parents tell their children that it's not nice to hit,cuss t someone etc but we do the same thing that we preach.

Jail, prison, both working, or just one parent. Welcome to America where Parents have to OBEY their kids.. Ironic isn't it?

I was reading in a Cleveland,Ohio online news website where it was reported where some surrounding cities were/are having problems regarding the Knock Out Game.

The youth who are doing all this should be knocked out.

This just happened to my son Danny who's living in Louisville KY. He was riding his bike and a bunch of black kids around 15 were there and one of them said "gimme five" so Danny put out his hand and the kid grabbed it and swung at him. He got hit in the side of his head and fell down with the bike but didn't get knocked out. All the kids took off. Danny didn't want to leave his bike and go after them for fear of it getting ripped off. If he had cought up to the kid that hit him I fear what he might have done to the kid because Danny is the wrong person you ever want to piss off.
