hmmm....

3 Summers ago there were 26 documented cases of these attacks....JUST IN DENVER!!!

The kid in jail after getting shot for attempting to Taze a guy, admitted to “6 or 7” prior “knockout” attacks.

How many others are documented on video, on the internet?

Imagine, if you will, images of bored, loitering white "teens" caught on surveillance cameras or, worse still, celebratory videos posted on Youtube, suckerpunching unsuspecting blacks, including women and the elderly.

And then try to imagine the reaction to someone, anyone, trying to dismiss it.

I knew it was too good to be true that the media were finally reporting on the knockout “game.” Now this is the third story I’ve seen today saying that it isn’t happening or is exaggerated. So...obviously that’s going to be the official story, and knockout games will go back to being buried. Nothing to see here, move along.

“Tell it to the family’s of those killed by the B-stards, and tell it to those undergoing reconstructive surgery, and those healing from the assaults on their persons. I’m certain they’d like to know it’s all bullscoot.”

Yes, but it affects only a small percentage of the US population...

Certainly, there is an orchestrated effort going on here.

The "game" is being downplayed, because it's seen as racially inflammatory. IMHO, it's a cultural problem; rather than a racial one.

This is true right up until the moment a black thug’s fist crashes into the author’s white grandmother’s face and she crumbles to the ground dead.

If the current frequency of attacks involved white perps and black victims, Jamelle would be whistling a different tune.

Panic or not, I believe it is time for EVERY American law-abiding citizen, to acquire the necessary training; and obtain thier particular state’s, or if more local, county’s/parish’s concealed handgun license; and educate themselves to the meaning of The Sheepdog Principle.

It is very real and people are dying and getting maimed.

My brother-in-law works in a Walgreens store in San Francisco. Last week, he got sucker-punched in the side of his head by one of four black punks. They fled when other customers came into the store. He was given a couple days off by his manager to recover. My brother-in-law knows it isn't a myth.

bears all the hallmarks of an overblown panic over a crime wave that doesn’t exist.

But be damn sure there will NOT be a "myth" about Holder's people starting to get capped "playing a game".

Its pretty simple. We see anyone playing this game, we shoot them. Time to watch each others back's since liberal America want's to see it get kicked. F'em.

gives himself an out by saying ‘trend’. Not the easiest definition to nail down as to numbers. Its one of those words one can argue over forever. That being said the writers a moron.

It makes me crazy how the media tries to cover these things up and think us who live with this stuff going on can’t use our own eyes. Our town is not very large and that it’s been going on here since 2009 (or before) boggles the mind. The thugs called it a game then, and call it a game now. Thank God we got CCW a few years back. Just a trip to the grocery store can be a challenge.

He is a recent graduate of the University of Virginia, and lives in Washington D.C, though his heart remains in Charlottesville, VA.”

Totally irrelevant. We need to figure out where he left his brain!
