Mullet-festooned, Make-A-Wish winner charged for brutal ‘knockout game’ attacks
dailycaller ^ | Saturday February 8, 2014

A Massachusetts college sophomore is under arrest for a string of vicious, totally random, “knockout game”-style attacks against three fellow students.

Dillon Destefano walked up to three people he didn’t know and sucker-punched them in the face, reports CBS Boston.

Police say the incidents occurred in the wee hours of Sunday, Feb. 2 at or near Endicott College, a small private school in a small New England town about 25 miles north of Boston. The victims were walking home.

Two of Destefano’s alleged victims suffered major injuries. One student, a freshman baseball player, was hospitalized with a broken jaw and needed surgery. His face now contains a titanium plate. His jaw is wired shut. He can only drink through a straw and has lost about 10 pounds.

Another victim has also undergone surgery for a fractured eye socket.

Destefano himself was hurt in the attacks, notes the Boston Herald. He punched his victims so hard that his right hand bloated up.

Destefano was totally shocked that he was charged with anything.

Since there is now evidence that doing this can kill someone he should be charged with premeditated attempted murder

“Destefano himself was hurt in the attacks, notes the Boston Herald. He punched his victims so hard that his right hand bloated up.”

Poor, baby. Too bad he didn’t get hot lead pumped into his gut.

The penalty for the “knockout game” should be death by battery.

100 hits with a 6 foot long 2x4.

And then the remains are fed to pigs.

Enough of this dystopia insanity crap.

I imagine this is one of the only cases that will make a splash in the media, given the lack of a perp named DuShawn or the like.

I predict national attention for this case, since they finally found a white perp. “See, every group does it” will be the refrain, ignoring the reality of who is the vast majority of perps and victims.

I prefer he be suspended with arms and legs bound and be used as a human(?) punching bag.

Great PR for Make-a-Wish. Sad that a young man with a debilitating illness who has been helped by so many has turned into a ruthless thug.

The only people who ever seem to be caught for the knockout game are white. The “system” will not protect you. Protect yourselves. Arm and avoid. I hate that it must be that way.

This is what happens when people with mullets are not locked up as they should be.

My suggestion for those who participate as attackers in the stupid game is to have their forearms amputated. Bet that would stop the game in its tracks if they get caught.
