The Knockout Game ~ Nothing New :(
Article by Kate Abercrombie @ Politi Chicks.
The mainstream media, once again late to the party, is finally waking up to the popular urban pastime, the Knockout Game. Well, at least a little bit. FOX News is talking about it, and some local affiliates of the mainstream stations are reporting about it, especially if it is happening in their area. The problem is that this “new phenomena” is not so new and has been around for at least a couple of years.
The Knockout Game is played by urban teens who get a point if they are able to take out an unsuspecting passer-by with one punch. These attacks are often videotaped and can be found on You-Tube. The sucker punch causes serious injuries and even death for some victims. If the attacker is not able to knock out the victim, he and his posse often attack the victim, beating him severely and robbing him (or her.)
The mainstream media (if they are reporting it at all) are treating this phenomenon as something new, but it has been around for at least a couple of years. Colin Flaherty, author of White Girl Bleed a Lot: the Return of Racial Violence to America, described the game in his book in 2011. What has changed is that the media, to some extent, is taking notice.
What the mainstream media are loath to do, however, is to point out the racial aspect of this game. The Knockout Game is largely a Black on White crime...
Good Morning My World :)
I'm happy to see you :-)
My site was not working right yesterday
for those who use Google Chrome.
Me included :(
I'm pretty sure I got it all figured out,
so there should be no more problems,
I hope. With "this" issue at least ;-)
I'm off to work for a few... Laters.

Way Too Kind...
In the hopes of giving you a blurry image, I waited to post this. At least 'til some of you had a few brewskies in ya. So here's my thought. The caption on the pic is way too kind. How 'bout getting a little more real?? By all means, Caption This...
Attn: Lurker from Boone
I was looking through my spam to see if I had missed anything lately. I came across an Anonymous comment that had been made a few weeks ago. Sometimes they go directly into my spam folder, so I check it once in a while, just in case. And since I found something, I figured I should make a little update post to let this person know, it was not intentionally left out. If this happened to others, my apologies. If I find more, I'll let y'All know ;-)
So, "Lurker from Boone", if you're still around.... your comment is posted <-- Click the link if you wanna see :-)
