It’s a horrorshow that would make Alex of A Clockwork Orange cringe: according to several news outlets “Knockout Game” is a form of random, racially-motivated violence that has recently become more popular among young African-American men.
The game involves attacking random pedestrians with a single vicious punch, in an attempt to knock the victim unconscious. This signature move of the depraved “Knockout Game” has been dubbed the “one hitter quitter.”
The victims of this random violence come from cities across the nation. If you thought it couldn’t get worse, it most certainly does: one of the most recent victims was a 78-year-old great-grandmother living in Brooklyn. Her daughter reported to local news that the perpetrator knocked her down and fled without taking her purse or shopping games in what was a “wanton act to hurt another human being”.
The nature of this violence is strictly racial, with young African-Americans attacking whites and in some cases targeting specifically Jews.
The left wing main stream media networks – CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN– have diligently ignored the issue, for reasons some speculate concern the higher value they place on political correctness over truth-telling. Of those mentioned, only CNN has given air time on the topic – a whopping two minutes – and the attackers were described only as “kids”, “juveniles”, and “teens”. Some left-wing outlets have acknowledged the existence of the attacks and the racial motivations, but contend that “Knockout” doesn’t exist as a game — the attacks are unconnected random assaults.
On the other hand, more conservative news sources such as Fox News and Breitbart.com have been hounding away at the issue, with nearly every prime time figure on Fox giving considerable discussion with various guests, including political analysts and reverends, on why young African-American men are participating in Knockout and why most news outlets have left it relatively uncovered.
The answers to the first question are endless, and include the high poverty rates and high levels of family erosion in this demographic. For example, in 2011, the poverty rate of blacks was 28%- the highest of any racial group.
Liberals do not like to admit these facts because their policies are the ones that have resulted in this sad reality. Correspondingly, liberals in the press simply refuse to admit that it is young African-American men playing this sick this game, whose nominal variations include “Knock the Jew” and “Polar Bear Hunting.” Hardly surprising, since liberals are the self-proclaimed champions and protectors of minorities, but are always willing to turn a blind eye to racial injustice whenever it contradicts their fabricated narrative.
Out of this moral decay, however, comes one positive. A news story out of Lansing, Michigan has supplied further evidence for those who believe in the absolute necessity and nonnegotiable existence of the right to bear arms.
On November twenty-first, reports surfaced of a 17-year-old African-American in Michigan named Marvell Weaver who attempted to taser and knockout a person who would have been his sixth or seventh victim. But instead, Weaver was shot twice by a concealed carry permit holder. The unidentified man Weaver attempted to knock out- a father waiting at a bus stop for his daughter- pulled out his .40 caliber handgun and shot Weaver after the taser malfunctioned. Weaver survived the wounds and was sentenced to 1-year in prison, allowing for plenty of time for him to reflect on what he described as a “lesson learned”.
While I’m not sure what the lesson Weaver learned was – whether it was to refrain from punching anyone without provocation or just those not carrying firearms – I think this episode is a good lesson for all of American society: an armed citizenry is a safer citizenry.
