‘Knockout game’ getting clobbered by media
Seattle Gun Rights Examiner ^ | 21 November, 2013 | Dave Workman

Posted on 11/24/2013 7:13:41 AM PST by marktwain

Reports have been surfacing for days across the country, including yesterday’s story in Philadelphia, and another in Washington, D.C., about the so-called “Knockout Game” in which thugs have targeted people, frequently women, at random and attempted to knock them unconscious with a single punch.

(snip)

Earlier this year, a 17-year-old punk in Lansing, Mich., identified as Marvell Weaver, was shot twice when he apparently tried to take things to a higher level by using a stun gun on his intended victim. Bad luck for Marvell, now in jail, because his stun gun didn’t work but the .40-caliber Smith & Wesson semi-auto pistol being legally carried by his intended victim did work. The incident has become a centerpiece in the controversy.

After being shot, according to Guns Save Life, Weaver pleaded with the man who shot him, insisting, “I’m sorry, please don’t kill me, I don’t know why I did that, I’m high you know, I just wanna go home.” Whatever happened to "just say 'No' to drugs?"

In a couple of cases, according to published reports, the victims of this savagery have died. Others suffered head injuries.

It should be noted that, according to the FBI Uniform Crime Report for 2012, more people were killed (674) with “personal weapons” (hands, fists, feet) than rifles (322) and shotguns (303) last year. Perhaps Washington Ceasefire should target knuckles and boots rather than so-called “assault rifles.”

The reports from Philadelphia AND DC mention the perps as ‘kids’, ‘teens’ and other nondescript terms. NOT ONCE does either source mention BLACKs.

There are two reasons for this:

1) You may never speak ill of blacks, and the masses must remain cowed;

2) The media is carrying out their marching orders, keeping the fear level high enough to keep the masses afraid enough to beg .Gov to come and save them.

I noticed that, too, but the videos showing the attacks definitely spell it out for anyone who cares to notice.

Yeah...I mentioned that, at least in the ‘reader is left to...’ part. Yet, it is TELLING how duplicitous our media is.

Remember the meme “....first, kill all the lawyers...?”

I’m thinking that they should be SECOND.

As long as the media and law enforcement continue to treat them as mischievous “yutes” just playing a childish game, the problem will only get worse. Personally, I think the parents of these devil spawn should be held accountable also.
Very good point. For underage knockout perps whose "parents" want to whine that their precious spawn is too young to be held accountable, I would be more than willing to let them take little precious's seat in the gas chamber. Don't think there would be too many takers, though.

This is in the process of backfiring. Now, most people who know about this assume the perps are black without having the press identify them.

Of course, but it officially allows Eric Holder, and Obama, and Jay Carney to ignore it and to ignore their sworn duties. The media provides them will transactional immunity against taking action because statistic and factual data are being concocted. It is reprehensible, it is criminal, and it is a crime against decency, and Obama et al are 100% complicit in it.

Somebody mentioned upthread we don’t *want* Holder and DOJ involved. They would only gum things up deliberately. The states and municipalities need to get on this. And more people are going to start carrying, with more perps being shot dead.

I can envision the reason why they relegate the issue to local authorities - because the federal government, it’s titular leader and chief law enforcement officer won’t try and change the dialogue or their racial brothers’ mindset that it is NOT okay.

Yet, local LE is bound by MSM pressure of a sorts, by colluding Federal Government action protesters and the like minded media to reacting in a similarly non-racial, bland manner.

Remember. The black community is emboldened by Holder and Obama. For Holder, it is his voiced intention NOT to pursue any black-one-white crime; for Obama, it is his rule of “get in their face and fight back” and “bring a gun to a knife fight” admonition to his brothers.

I agree with you that this is a local law enforcement issue, but if the races were reversed, holder would be all over this, legal or not.

Recall Holder still hasn’t ruled-out pursuing George Zimmerman for violating St. Trayvon’s civil rights.

Whoa! Al Sharpton condemns Knockout!

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2013/11/24/Al-Sharpton-Condemns-Knockout-Game

VERY rare admission by Sharpton. Now all he has to do is condemn himself for all the crap he has pulled, and I will be thrilled.

From the article:

Rev. Al Sharpton denounced the nationwide trend of “knockout game” attacks on Saturday, saying the behavior by mostly black youth attacking random white, Jewish, and Asian strangers to knock them out with one punch “is deplorable and must be condemned by all us.”

“We would not be silent if it was the other way around. We cannot be silent or in any way reluctant to confront it when it is coming from our own community,” he said. “Kids are randomly knocking out people [from] another race—some specifically going at Jewish people.”

See my post #33. Even Sharpton is on it!

“We would not be silent if it was the other way around. We cannot be silent or in any way reluctant to confront it when it is coming from our own community,” he said.

How can we program these youths to target the media? I wish I could hypnotize them.

Too late. They've already been hypnotized, brainwashed and programmed by the media, school, Hollywood, video games, and Obama, to target the source of all their problems--white people.

Heinlein was right; an armed society is a polite society. Look how nicely that young man says "sorry" and "please" after just one lesson in etiquette.

Black thugs doing what comes naturally, congressional black caucus doing what comes naturally.

One day I expect to see a congressional al-queda caucus, all doing what comes naturally.

Is it really /s!
