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.

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?

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.

Who knows what criminals think and quite frankly I don't give a shite. What would stop this shite in its tracks is for one or two of the targets to pull a concealed handgun and put a couple rounds of .40 S & W in the bastards. Thugs would think long and hard before pulling that shite again because they know it might be the last thing they ever do on this earth.

First we need to recognize it's bigger than this. The current illegitimacy rate amongst blacks is near 75%. Back in the 70' and 80's generally grandmother was a positive influence and helped greatly in raising black youths whose fathers weren't really in the picture. This is no longer true, the current grandmothers being the mothers 30 years ago who knew only the welfare state. There is no cure for this save fathers being in the house physically and raising the boy properly. There isn't a substitute in my opinion. Currently the illegitimacy rate for hispanics is slightly over 50% and for whites approaching 30%. What's worse than 'wilding' blacks in America? Wilding whites who constitute the population majority. I'm afraid that time might be coming.

LSU players repeatedly played this game with a white kid named Zach Smith. They were cheered on wildly by the seething Corndog masses.
