St. Louis teenager suspected of 'knockout game' violence picks wrong victim (Photos)
St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner ^ | 21 February, 2012 | Kurt Hofmann

U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) says that limiting magazine capacity to 10 rounds is "generous"--his "generosity" falls far short, when one is attacked by two dozen feral, brutal thugs Credit: Photos © Oleg Volk. All rights reserved. Used with permission.

A local 15-year-old, Demetrius Murphy, was shot and killed last Friday while allegedly breaking into a home. Another case of a young man--our very future--tragically taken from us as a consequence of one bad decision on his part? Perhaps not, according to Fox 2 St. Louis:

In fact, FOX2 has learned, he was once charged in the case that made the phrase “knockout game” common in St. Louis.

Demetrius Murphy, 15, died Friday morning after he and another teen, Michael Bryant, allegedly tried to break into a man’s home on Tennessee. Police say the homeowner emerged with a gun. Bryant ran, but they say Murphy confronted him and was shot and killed.

We have talked about the "knockout game" before, after a mob of feral teenagers, allegedly including young Demetrius, put a man, Matt Quain, in intensive care--just for "fun." For those unfamiliar with this form of "recreation," here is Wikipedia's entry about it, and this is how St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner described it then:

Yeah...”generous” — isn’t that the most sickening thing you’ve read today? Our exalted royals, deigning to grant us “generous” permission to use 10 bullets. We should all bow down, kiss his robe, and profusely thank him for his generosity to us peons.

And I'm supposed to care about any events in the black community, why?

Blacks will kill each other over a piece of candy and we're asked to give up our guns because of it.

Too bad the mental midget did not get dirt napped before he spread his demon seed among his ho’s. At least he did not make it to the Maserati level rapper and kill more innocents.

You first you socialist minster.

Lead by example - ALL you own security will be limited to 10 round magazines. And gun free while in DC, NYC and Chicago.

Socialism is for the little people.

There is another foolish comment to the original article regarding the use of a shotgun:

John Vastine · McCluer High School

the whole point is you do not need assault weapons or multi round clips for protection, i have a single shot 410 shot gun loaded that in a house where you are shooting no more than ten feet will blow a hole in someone the size of a saucer, so home defense is a useless argument cause you don't want to give up your toys

A single shot .410 against a band of 12 to 18 half-crazed home invaders?

Good Luck!

Thanks in part to Jerky Joe Biden there is a growing beief that you do not need to aim a shotgun or have one capable of holding more than two cartridges. Joe tells us that a shotgun will magically dispurse everyone within sight. Supposedly firing one or two shotgun cartridges at a gang of inner city 'yoots' will either injure or scare so many of them that the ones still able to walk or run will instantly repent and run home to mama.

Actually, at ten feet from the evil-doer the .410 shotgun load will barely start to open up and will require some care in aiming to hit a specific target.

As an example, here is a graphic of a .410 load of 000 Buckshot at 21 feet for comparison:

You and me both.I hated the Jim Crow laws and thought the civil rights act was a good thing.
Fifty years later and I couldn't care less if "black america" disappeared.

Doing anything else would be “acting white”. Can’t have that.

More gun owners need to start playing the Make My Day, Punk! “game”.


Just remember the Death Wish Movies.

Seeing what has been happening with the attempts at “Gun Control” makes me think the the Democrat Politicos and their sycophants do.

Blacks in America have squandered more opportunities than any people in history. They rebelled against being segregated at all levels of culture, but because of their behavior, are going to succeed in getting themselves segregated all over again. Pathetic.

I hope John is not a teacher. He apparently does not have a grasp of the founders purpose behind the Second Amendment.

I had my wife’s computer in the shop yesterday and got into an interesting conversation with the gentleman who does my computer repairs. He related to me that he had heard of young 15 year old black high school girls discussing getting pregnant by design, how many babies they were planning out of wedlock and how much money they would get from welfare. This is the source of the feral blacks we have today—planned welfare fraud.

What's the difference between an assault weapon and a defense weapon?
