Knockout Game: Teens In Florida Kick 72-Year-Old Man To The Ground While He Was Picking Weeds
American Live Wire ^ | November 29, 2013 | Carl Jackers

Posted on 11/30/2013 2:21:42 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

A dangerous game known as the “Knockout game“, has now made it’s way down to Fort Meyers, Florida. Where a 15-year-old girl named Traveshia Blanks, has attacked more than just one eldery person.

Traveshia Blanks, of Fort Myers, has been charged with two counts of battery on a person 65 years of age or older. Another victim, a 72-year-old man told the news station he was weeding his garden Tuesday when he was kicked from behind. The victim fell to the ground and said he saw a woman walking away laughing, joining a group of people.

According to NBC-2, Harry Hurvitz, 89, told deputies that someone rang his doorbell, and he looked and saw several well-dressed teens standing outside his door and one of them appeared to be holding a cell phone or camera.

When he opened the door, one of the juveniles suddenly and without provocation slapped him in the face.

“I stepped out to see what she was pointing to and there was another girl standing here and wammmmmm,” explained Hurvitz.

Harry said he does not want to press charges but believes the girls need help. Pointing out that some elderly people only answer the door with a loaded weapon. Pointing out that it could be a deadly game of knockout if teens continue to play this game against the elderly.

A large chunk of Holder’s people don’t teach their children the basic rules of civilization. This the the Feral Generation of Blacks, who will be a curse to society throughout their worthless lives.

I had a Cambodian friend who came over at 12. He developed a perfect Southern Texas drawl. He also had an BSEE and MBE from Stanford University.

The error I see in this story is that he was “picking weeds,” You don’t “pick” weeds as that would imply one is harvesting them for food. You “pull” weeds as in “I was weeding my garden” as a method of getting rid of the weeds.

Unless he was harvesting weed to dry and use medicinally later...

The was a funny incident on the show The Wire. They try to do a hit on Sunday and shoot the Church Ladie’s Crown(hat)

Drug dealers everywhere across the gang spectrum are incensed that they violated the Sunday Truce ( you dont kill a gangster on Sunday) and furthermore dared to shoot the Grandmas hat.

Re your post 47, I should have emphasized “difficulty” rather than “impossibility.” To some it is impossible but others, who have a good ear and the drive to succeed (as Gaffer pointed out), can do it.

Exhibit A would be the impressionists such as Rich Little. Those people have tremendous powers of mimicry.

Probably a cousin to Latrina. I have actually seen the name Latrina in court records. What mother would name her daughter Latrina?

Any liberal—black or white-—who persists in the idiotic “they need more programs” argument deserves to get slapped silly. Liberals are chiefly responsible for the outrageous levels of black crime. Conservative solutions would reduce the crime by a very large degree. Treating the thugs nicely will never work. Harsher methods are needed.

I wish Brietbart or WND would publish a story about white kids punching an old black man. Then after a week of Sharpton and company pitchin’ a bitch they can print that they made a mistake and it was actually black kids punching an old white man.

“Harry said he does not want to press charges but believes the girls need help. Pointing out that some elderly people only answer the door with a loaded weapon. Pointing out that it could be a deadly game of knockout if teens continue to play this game against the elderly.”

He is a big part of the problem. He does not:

1) Want to press charges. So how does he think those girls are going to “get help?” Magic 8-Ball says, “Don’t Be Stupid”.

2) And what if he *had* been holding a gun when he answered the door? Does he think they would have still swatted him?

3) “He/She threw a punch at me, though I was brandishing a gun. Were they stupid, or what?”
