WASHINGTON, DC - Police say they are investigating the two women punched in the head in Columbia Heights on Thursday and Friday as simple assaults. But the victims wonder if they were targets of the Knockout game.

It's a game being played by teens in some cities where groups of people attack innocent victims, with the intention of knocking them out with one sucker punch.

The most recent assault in the District occurred Thursday night. Phoebe Connolly, in town from Vermont, was riding her bike up 11th Street NW near Cardozo High School. She encountered a group of several teens standing on their bikes in the street.

When she tried to ride by, one of them punched her in the nose. A friend told Connolly it sounded like the Knockout game. Connolly googled and discovered another woman had been a victim Thursday night on 14th Street in Columbia Heights.

Fox 5 spoke to that woman, who doesn't want to be identified....

God forbid the media report any relevant demographic information regarding the ‘teens’ in any story related to the, um, ‘game’. Nope, no whitewash here! Not covering up a thing!

A black “activist” on Fox said it’s racist to even talk about this.

I guess we can just refer to the gangs as Jarrett’s Payback Teams

Well, Phoebe Cates is from New York (so that’s pretty close anyway) , but we can be assured that these “teens” bear absolutely NO resemblance to the characters in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” ! /s;)

Given that “racism” means prejudicially deciding different actions based solely on the color of someone’s skin, I think that ‘activist’ should look in the mirror when he calls others racist.

Turnabout is fair play. “Polar bears” can be hazardous to your health.

= = = = = = = = = = = = =
That Wasp foam is pretty decent also...Course won’t be too long before ‘they’ ban stuff like that for personal use.
Or catch someone in the eye and they will be suing because you may have ‘hurt’ them.

But, like they say, keep calling it a game and it legitimizes it.

I am sure the same candor would be used if one were to pick out a ‘protected species’ and whack them with a bat or pool cue. Could call that ‘Big Whack Attack game’ or with pistol and call it the ‘One shot game’.

They had her on FNC last night. After listening to her, I am almost glad she got hit. She is a liberal moron who “forgave” her attacker!
