NBC Sports had it half right: When he is on the football field, Lafayette Pitts is one of the most dangerous men in America.
Off the field, he is accused of being even more menacing. Pitts and two teammates from the University of Pittsburgh football team stand accused of playing the Knockout Game.
The Knockout Game is just one form of the black mob violence and lawlessness documented in more than 80 cities with more than 400 examples in the book “White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence and how the media ignore it.”
Rules of the Knockout Game are pretty simple: Find a white guy. Make sure he looks defenseless. Punch him in the face. If he doesn’t get up, you win. And that is what three witnesses said the Pitt players did just a few weeks ago.
Last Friday, it was revealed they were charged with assault and conspiracy. Their court date is set for January. But that did not stop them from suiting up the next day for a big game against Notre Dame.

Fair enough.
As the article itself says, they pick out people who look vulnerable to prey on.
I would suggest it is probable even a person who carries concealed is a lot less likely to be attacked. Such a person is likely to have subtly different body language that tends to lead the perps to pick somebody else. IOW, the type of person who carries concealed is also the type of person who is not an ideal victim for other reasons.
The thing that has always bothered me the most about this “game” is not so much the crime itself as the mentality of those who choose to play it. How can any group of “men” take pride in a group assault on a weaker and unsuspecting victim? If I engaged in such behavior, which is impossible for me to even imagine, perhaps while drunk, I’d be too ashamed of myself the next day to meet anybody’s eyes.
I can understand the criminal ethos of boldness and initiative. But taking pride in attacking those who are weaker? It’s like taking pride in abuse of your children. Who thinks that way?
Hmm, maybe. It depends on how they define 'country'? And what exactly they are fighting for? I'd be willing to bet that those who would align themselves with being "African-American", as blacks first don't/aren't fighting for the same thing.
Our biggest threat to Black Mob Violence, and Black Ku Klux Klan-style Racism (call it what it really is) may be all the White Guilt Liberals who keep denying this exists...and call anyone “Racist” for mentioning this
It would behoove the Black Community and their White Guilt Liberal apologists to stop this nonsense now...or they will see a lot more Trayvon Martin’s
Maybe I will get lucky.
I am 60 years old only 5ft 9.. But defenseless? No not really. military veteran, ex law enforcement, biker and current carrier of a S&W 9mm 12 round semi - auto.
Then you better have it in your hand and in full view. Read #16. A knife (by your attacker) will work much faster than you drawing your gun.
He was being sarcastic, Altura.
Thanks for the post.
When this subject comes up a lot of freepers, quite humanly, respond by asking how the thugs will enjoy bringing a fist to a gunfight.
The problem, as you point out, is that for you to shoot them first you would have to draw and fire before he starts his punch. When you don’t even really know he was going to throw a punch.
Which would mean you, a white man, would be arrested for shooting an unarmed black man who had made no move to attack you. Good luck beating that rap.
The only way to avoid this situation is to not come into range. Or possibly to draw your weapon and let them see it, which means of course they won’t come into range. But that is itself illegal.
There are a lot of areas in this country where a DA or prosecutor would not even prosecute a white person for shooting a minority if there is any slightest bit of self-defense inferred, especially if the DA or top prosecutor is an elected position
You see these prosecutions in liberal cities and jurisdictions
In my county (my FR name), we are dealing with the Zimmerman case. He would have never been prosecuted had it not been for our Liberal GOPer Governor and Atty Gen pandering to Black Racists. There is no doubt that George Zimmerman shot in self-defense
We need to stop trying to rationalize and White Guilt Liberal-explain away Black on White crime. It exists, and we need to ensure that the rights of White folks are not violated...including when they choose to defend themselves.
Prosecutors who willy-nilly side with Blacks and Minorities need to be handled civiliy and criminally
I wonder what the white players on the football team think of this. Knowing that those black team mates would beat them down without hesitation if they caught them alone.
A Top 5 list for your consideration:
5) Violent sociopaths with low self-esteem who feel empowered by bullying the weak.
4) Juveniles in adult bodies who will do whatever they can get away with, and have no thought of consequences.
3) Irrational, low IQ, thugs so consumed with racist hatred that they believe their actions justified by past wrongs (real and imagined) committed by others.
2) National Socialists.
1) “Student-atheletes” on full scholarship.
IMHO, prosecutors who do anything but seek true justice according to the law should be tarred, feathered and ran out of town on a rail.

“Or possibly to draw your weapon and let them see it”
Just put your hand on the grip, without exposing the weapon.
They’ll get the idea that you’re not offering your wallet.
I carry at the 5 o’clock position, so they’ll never see anything until I draw.
And then it’s “Officer, I made 2 evasive moves, and I was in fear for my life, as they continued after me.”
Probably will only shoot one, as you don’t want to hit anyone in the back as they’re fleeing.
Well, legally, you don’t “want”.
Prosecutors who willy-nilly side with any group need to be handled civiliy and criminally.
You are right, of course. I guess I just can’t wrap my mind around it.
Very good points. But as I had to point out to a fellow last year, “remember, if there are no police around to protect me from you, there are no police around to protect you from me, either”...
In movies today they are protrayed as selflessly defending white people.
“The thing that has always bothered me the most about this “game” is not so much the crime itself as the mentality of those who choose to play it. How can any group of “men” take pride in a group assault on a weaker and unsuspecting victim? “
If you are expecting honor, you better be ready to wait a long time. It’s a game. It’s not meant to be a fight. He’s getting over on the white man.
Trust me. The People love this game. They are just upset that the white man uses it as just another weak excuse to put a young black man in prison.
What, in "clans" .....?
Eventually that bloc-vote, privilege-asserting behavior (which is what the Knockout Game really is) will provoke a very bad reaction which will harden up the "identity politics" of the future to include frequently-spilt blood, just like Northern Ireland, Lebanon, the former Yugoslavia, and Rwanda.
The most extreme, legal response should be applied in every instance of this “knockout” crap.
