Knockout Game?

Apparently, the recent thuggery involving Alabama football players was committed as part of a brutal "game" where a group of guys find an innocent bystander of a different race (seems to have only happened so far as a black-on-white game) and beat the bystander to a pulp until they go unconscious. The thug with the least number of punches needed to "knockout" the victim, wins.
The "game" has not only been "played" by 'Bama players, but also by football players at other colleges -- notably Pitt and Wisconsin.
These incidents, this violence, has me perplexed with two questions: 1) What goes through someone's head to think that knocking someone out is "fun"?; and 2) Is there anything that will finally stop racially structured violence? I suppose that a third question is appropriate also: Do these football players think that they are somehow above the law, that their fame will protect them (e.g. Ray Lewis)??
ANYBODY?

We've had multiple instances of the Knockout "Game" here in St. Louis. The most vicious incident ended in a Vietnamese man's death.
Political correctness asks we not discuss the racial aspect of it all, but PC also asks us to suspend being mildly observant.

Are you saying that 30-Deep, the Atlanta based gang, is behind the Alabama football players incident?

Ban or indefinite suspension?

and the dots are starting to connect.
can we tie this to politicians or a federal investigation that may have tapes?

Not a big deal, just a modern take on the old punch buggy game.

Dare I ask, link? Or did you mailman here this from his sister-in-law who heard it from the manager of the trailer park?

The808Bass - Wow, I just looked up the news article on the reference you made. Brutality, unfettered. So, is that something the MO coaches think about when recruiting out of St Louis?

Yes. With all the social media and ESPN coverage with signing day etc..they think they are celebrities who can play by a different set of rules.

The knockout game is common on the streets of STL.
Inner city hoods are getting their jollies by punching out 60-70 year old men and women.
One man died from this and the 17 year old piece of caca is in jail for life. I guess he has street cred now.
So far they have refrained from trying this on anyone that looks like they would fight back so
PUNK is the word for this bunch of fools.

The difference between this and Fight Club is that the participants are willing, and so their rules apply to the participants.

No. Even with the half-dozen instances over the last years, it's still very isolated. Symptom of the larger societal issues.
You just have to pay the handlers to get the STL recruits.

I'm a bit surprised at your smug attitude about a serious issue, but alas, here's your reference:

(Editor’s note: Colin Flaherty has done more reporting than any other journalist on what appears to be a nationwide trend of skyrocketing black-on-white crime, violence and abuse. WND features these reports to counterbalance the virtual blackout by the rest of the media due to their concerns that reporting such incidents would be inflammatory or even racist. WND considers it racist not to report racial abuse solely because of the skin color of the perpetrators or victims.

The assailants in this black mob were all members of Alabama’s national championship football team.

The rules for the Knockout Game are simple: First, start with a crowd of black people. Then, find a white person. Beat him until he is unconscious.

But even before the wounds healed, the pleas entered or the sentences handed down, some Tide fans were pleading for mercy.
