Knockout

Categories
Lifestyle

Have you seen this in the news? A new stunt among teenagers appears to be growing in popularity. The “knockout game” entails attacking people without warning and “winning” is achieved by a quick and violent conclusion.

A Pittsburgh teacher collapsed head first onto the ground after becoming a “knockout game” victim. A Brooklyn man was” knocked out” unconscious.

Can someone help me understand this please? What can the reward be for this type of violent outburst? I simply do not understand.

Ugh dreadful! What happened to street hockey, jump rope and playing cowboys and native americans?

That last comment was from me. The snow ghost knocked me out of Gotham.

It relates to gangs and that mentality. It is reprehensible. It could happen anywhere even where not likely.

It amazes me that they call it 'Knockout Game' instead of Scaredy-Cat Chicken Attack. Any person who sucker punches from behind is a measly little chicken.
