Guess What? The ‘Knockout Game’ Is America’s Latest Phony Panic

[cawacko]

Someone should knock you out.

Mama said knock you out!

 

[Timshel]

which the fuckingidiot tried to do by pointing out its a racially motivated, black on white crime that's really been happening for a long, long time.....

He did not, you liar.

Here’s the fascinating thing about this “spreading” trend: nobody seems to have any evidence that it’s spreading, or that it’s new, or that it’s racially motivated, or that black youths are the ones typically responsible, or that whites are typically targeted.

He lies from way back....and mods like Grind believe him, which impugns his credibility.

if they did, would it be mythical?.....

 

[PostmodernProphet]

He did not, you liar.

well, actually, he did....

The question is whether this is a new dimension of urban crime, or a new name for an old phenomenon. Most of the evidence points to the latter. For starters, it’s not hard to find reports of senseless attacks on innocent bystanders. In 2011 in Washington, D.C., for instance, there were nearly 1,700 assaults excluding guns, including a random attack by a group of teenagers in a subway station. Violent crime is a fact of life in American cities, though it’s infrequent and on the decline, and that includes muggings and attacks by strangers.

or was the old phenomenon a myth as well?......

and yet, oddly, its always been you who's been demonstrated as dishonest, rather than me.....

 

[PostmodernProphet]

was I lying when I said the OP claimed it had been happening for a long long time?......

The case for “myth” is bolstered further by the fact that the “knockout game” has been cited as far back as 1992

or perhaps, when he mentioned there were 1,700 assaults in Washington DC in 2011 you think its unfair to suspect the majority involved young black men......

What can I say? Racist white mf'ers stick to mf'ing gether.. White people have been lying about black people for darn near 400 years.

You are over using the word MF'er again and again on here, which for years has always been associated with Black Ebonics. Your repeated use of "MF'er this" and "MF'er that" proves that the stereotype of MF'er being part of the Black jargon is true. If anyone is a MF'er, it is you faux Poet for overusing that word, it proves my point that cats like you are not "playing" with a full deck. You ain't no poet, no way, no how, you are a nothing from nowhere.....LOL...How does it feel to be pissed on and missed, butt sheet on and hit?

Heads in the sand
Heads in the sand
They can't see those thugs
With their heads in the sand

 

[The Dude]

The op never said they were black!
Our klamsman did

which of the two comments I made above are untrue?......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

The op never said they were black!

does that somehow make them white?.....

 

[The Dude]

does that somehow make them white?.....

No it proves you klansman racist by assuming they are black.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

No it proves you klansman racist by assuming they are black.

.....if a video camera captures the image of a black kid punching a guy in the head, is it an assumption he's black?......

 

[Beefy]

Jesus, am I in a strawberry patch here?

enjoy the racist right that is attracted to all the historically failed ideas the right clings to

 

[Big Money]

Our klamsman did

For those who don't know, the Dudes' trailer park is "waterfront" property.

Behind his moms' double-wide is a swampy, stinking bayou.

Whenever Dude fires up a doobie on the ramshackle dock that juts into the murky, fetid bayou and while he hallucinates, his "spirit totem" appears.

His "animal guide" is a giant clam (Dude spells it Klam) that emerges from the bayou and "talks".

Dude "hears" things the "Klamsman" tells him to post here.

Now you know.

You're more right than you think, with your support for foreign interventionism and corporate welfare. Don't confuse parties with the spectrum. You're a democrat for sure, first and only. Doesn't matter what they do, its about them doing it that you support.

And the rest of you morons are missing the entire point of this thread. This is just yet another failure of the fourth estate. Creating a crisis simply by renaming it in order to have a story is despicable. Yes, shit happens, people are assholes sometimes and there are and always have been senseless thugs. Calling it some sort of new random trend is only exploiting the victims and instilling more fear than there was before the "story broke" even though this story really broke 2000 years ago...
