“I was actually scared that it was so close to home, literally, it’s right here on my block,” said Allyson Deihl. “I’ve heard it on the news nationally and it’s scary to think that it’s happening in Jacksonville, in Riverside.”

According to the police report, the man and woman spotted three men walking in their direction, then realized they were being followed. The report said that the woman grabbed her can of Mace from her purse, and then her boyfriend was punched, causing him to stumble to the ground.

The woman told police that she tried to spray the men with her Mace but that it didn’t work and that the men jumped in a car, which was being driven by a woman, and drove away.

A few months ago, Michael Carraway was attacked in a similar way. Carraway was at a gas pump on Merrill Road when he was blindsided and punched by a stranger.

A few of thse “knockout artists” need to get blown away and then the attacks will quickly wane.


Its called the ‘Glock Out’ game and decoy use is encouraged.

Pennsylvania has had “shall issue” since laws on gun control first began. Florida is a new bee on concealed carry.

Knockout game? There’s no such thing. Next you’ll be saying that the Nazis tried to exterminate the Jews.

Silly Tea Party.

“When a stranger gets within about ten feet of me I tell them to stop and if they don’t I then yell at them.”

You need help, hoss.

Where’s Paul Kersey when you need him?

Somebody needs to set up a bunch of stings.. perhaps a vulnerable looking person where the Amish frequent. Catch the feral animals and beat them into a bloody pulp.

Yes. But other than having eyes in the back of your head, this doesn’t apply to the typical knockout. The case at hand in atypical in that the victims were aware they were being followed.
