It looks like there have been marching orders from above for leftist media outlets (which is most of them) to pretend that the Knockout Game trend (and other similar "teen" violence) is all just a figment of the Conservative, racist imagination.

"Nothing to see here. Move along."

Alright, then explain why Travon is on the news 24/7, 365 days a year and black on white crime is never covered, except by local news? I know of a lynching and a gang shooting that occurred in a city near me that got nowhere near the Travon coverage.

Would the author be willing to test her theory by walking alone through some well-known urban zones?

Great! Don’t think you can get into any trouble for shooting a myth.

What you people need to understand is that you aren’t being “knocked out”, you’re actually being “renewed”.

Wait, wrong talking point...

Sorry, Mr. Progressive type, it's not a myth because YOU say it's a myth. White suprecamists call the Holocaust a myth, does that make it so? In fact this thuggish behaviour started in the UK a few years ago as this vid shows, known as happy slapping over there. Now if most of the "knockout game" victims were Black and the thugs were White would it still be a myth?

One is one too many.

The phenomenon will be stopped quickly, however. Charles Bronsons are all over the place now.

Who is Emma Roller, anyway?

Through my work in fast-paced and highly demanding newsrooms, I have honed reporting and editing skills that set me apart from the pack. I have experience at the local, state and national level - from covering national education policy on the Hill, to breaking news from the Wisconsin state Capitol during the run-up to Gov. Scott Walker's recall election, to managing a newsroom of more than 75 student journalists. My talent, know-how and challenge-driven work ethic are rooted in a passion to tell impactful stories.

And I’ve gained invaluable professional experience working for renowned outlets such as Bloomberg News, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and The Chronicle of Higher Education.

...to follow up, I’m sure that email wouldn’t be nearly as polite if I happened to be black.

Just got a surprisingly polite email from an unabashed racist.

Imagine if another national "journalist" started doing the same for, say, any crime committed in Alabama, or any arson charge in the country. People would start to think Alabama was going through a crime epidemic, or that arson was becoming all the rage with criminals. That would be ridiculous, because it's ridiculous to assume that a few unrelated counts of arson make arson an epidemic. But when you inject race into the equation, it conveniently aligns with the assumptions of people who happen to be racist. That's the sort of twisted logic that justifies why more than half of the U.S. prison population is made up by black and Hispanic people, even though they comprise a quarter of the total population.

Speaking of twisted logic, did anyone follow this logic ?

What is in the liberal mind that makes it wish us to deny the demonstrable?

Someone even wrote a whole book full of examples.

Fourty years ago, Walter Chronkite could lie to the American public and they would believe him. These days “most” of the population is skeptical of media claims.

We assumed leftists would either say it’s not happening or they would come up with false ‘equivalents’... Seems they’re going to do both...
