The Horror Of Knock Out Attacks Against Innocent People

11/21/2013


                        This is one of the most horrible atttacks going on across the
                  country " Knock Out Attacks," by African American Youths, the weird
                  thing is Al Sharpton nor Jesse Jackson have come out and spoke against
                  this, two people have died, why would these stupid, ignorant teenagers
                  tagret innocent people and attack from behind ? Several of the people
                  have been in their 60's and upper 70's. The police have to arrest them 
                  and charge them , crime time 5 years in prison , death of this life prison
                  I dare any dam leftist challenge this ....

LC posted some links about these attacks as well.

Thing is, I watch msnbc these days (yeah, my bad) and can tell you that Al Sharpton has reported on them, and finds them deplorable.

Thing is, it isn't only African Americans who are involved.

                           Who else is envolved ?

                             Cheers..Joe..

"While some of those attacked have been white, and some suspected attackers black, experts said the incidents are more about preying on the seemingly helpless than race or religion."

Ann, you asserted others are involved and backed it up by cutting and pasting a sentence from MSNBC. In another NBC article, knockout was described as a "new" game. So I guess you would also assert (and believe) that.


Except you can find documentation of it on YouTube as far back as 2005, so unless almost 9 years counts as new, that newspaper writer is lying. And of the 50 or so videos and articles online that show the perpetrators, every single one is black, with a white or Asian victim. I notice your article didn't link to any of the "some" instances" -could you link to one, please? Since you asserted it,  you must know otherwise.

Here's another newspaper quoting police as saying knockout may be a myth, it's just random crime. Which is how police and the newspapers have described almost every single one of these incidents in every city. So will that be your next cut and paste? That it's a myth?  I'll answer that with a news video (which I posted earlier) of black teens interviewed DISCUSSING (and laughing) about the knockout game. But the police say it's a myth. 


Does any of this say anything to you? Can you draw any conclusions about how your beloved MSNBC and CNN are covering this? BTW, they never even DID cover it (these events were just local news stories) until a couple of Brooklyn Jews got knocked out. Curious, that?

The statement was from an article at ABC.com, not msnbe, although it has been covered there as well as on several othr stations and sites.

It is deplorable, whoever and whatever, but it does seem to involve other races besides African-Americans.

Even if it did, it is not so much about race as it is about poverty and disenfranchisement. Somebody would have to feel incredibly powerless to get involved.

But I'm done getting into these discussions with you, LC.

We don't see eye to eye on these things and neither of us is going to change or broaden the others outlook, so why keep harping (no pun intended) on these same issues.

I like the newest avatar, BTW. Been meaning to tell you.

I simply asked for a link showing who else is involved. Instead, you corrected me about it being at ABC instead of NBC and said we don't see eye to eye. About what?  Can you post a link -one link- showing other people involved? I'm assuming you know of other incidents, I honestly would like to see them!
