rr_dRock Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 ... and that person will go to prison :/ Not necessarily. If they try the knockout game on someone with the wherewithal to run away after they provide this wonderful service (a criminal) or someone with a CCW or another such permit. I think they'll be dead, and everyone will be happy. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it still legal to kill for self defence in States? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timster Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 It'll spread until it hits a State with concealed carry, someone will get gunned down. The Media will cry Racist. of course, it's the liberal way. We can't have people out defending themselves! /s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey_richie Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Hey, we finally exported something to the US! We had this a few years ago, called "Happy Slapping". It was essentially the same thing. Mindless thugs randomly attacking passers by and recording it on their phones for YouTube... Was that out of the Tango adverts? http://uk.adforum.com/creative-work/ad/player/24597 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even a question of charges.Also, in Michigan you only need a permit if the firearm is concealed. If it's visible you could carry most anything- rifle, shotgun, a 2 pistol cowboy rig....whatever. Just as long as you obtained & possesed them legally. rr_dRock 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocM Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Stupid. Play with fire & you get burned, especially in a state where so many people carry seriously powerful hand artillery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocM Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2013/11/20/three-knockout-game-attacks-reported-in-philadelphia-area/ PHILADELPHIA (CBS) ? ?Knockout? attacks have been reported in several states around the country and now investigators believe three people have been attacked in our area. Police in Lower Merion are investigating two attacks in the area, and Philadelphia detectives are investigating an attack in Northeast Philadelphia. It?s a violent crime that in other parts of the country has proven fatal. Videos from cities around the country show people being punched and beaten at random. The attackers are calling their crimes a game, the goal being to knock out the victim with one punch. Mark Cumberland is a victim of a ?Knockout? assault. ?Someone asked me for a cigarette and by the time I got my hands out my pocket I was getting hit by four kids.? He says, ?It was hard seeing and I?m still having trouble breathing and swallowing.? Cumberland was walking out of a Fox Chase pizza shop on November 11th when he was attacked. ?There?s no reason at all. I mean, I didn?t get robbed, they didn?t take nothing from me. They just beat me up.? Lower Merion Police say suspects Samuel Hayles and Markus January were arrested on October 29th, just moments after they allegedly ambushed and beat a 63-year-old man who was walking his dog. Lt. Frank Higgins of the Lower Merion Police says, ?He punched him right in the mouth and knocked him to the ground. The victim began to scream and yell for someone to call the police.? A neighbor of the victim, Jeri Greenfield says, ?I think it?s absolutely horrible. I think this is a beautiful neighborhood and I didn?t expect anything like that here.? An elderly man was also attacked when he was mowing his lawn outside of his home. The suspect in that attack is still on the loose. Bruce Myer, a neighbor of the elderly victim says, ?A kid came up to him and just punching him in the mouth. He ended up laying the street with his lawnmower.? The only apparent motive in these attacks, as in all ?Knockout? attacks, is to inflict injury on a random victim. Myer says, ?The kid did it on a dare. He said give me five dollars and I?ll knock that guy out.? It?s very sad that before you used to walk on the street with no worries whatsoever,? neighbor Al Ciavijo said. The elderly victim is now using a cane and a walker to get around. He has had to undergo multiple medical procedures. That suspect is still on the loose, as are the suspects in the Northeast Philadelphia attback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian W Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 So it's a game played by cowards then. Only cowards get in groups because they are too scared to go one on one. Only cowards can hurt those who are weak and won't fight back, like women. I agree with everything but the last sentence. Not all women are weak, and not all men are strong.
