Latest Knockout attack: white woman v. 6 thugs

Looks like another hate crime that won't be reported as a hate crime because only white people can be racist. [i]People all over the country have fallen victim to the so-called knockout game. It's where attackers go up to strangers and punch them. A local woman believes she is the latest victim, and police said they've arrested six teens in connection with the incident. Mobile users tap here for video. The scratch near her ear and a bruise on her cheek are injuries a Lansdowne woman said she received when someone punched her with a closed fist as she used public transportation to get home. "It's absurd. Why did it happen? It scares the hell out of me. I didn't do anything to deserve this," she said. The 32-year-old victim asked that WBAL-TV 11 News not identify her. She said at first she was stunned. "They punched me. I remember one punch. I don't remember if they got me again," she said. What happened was initially posted on the Anne Arundel 1st Alert Facebook page. The victim tells 11 News when she finished work Monday evening she boarded a light rail train in downtown Baltimore to go home. She had on her headphones and began reading. A group of teenagers -- two females and four males -- soon got on the rail car and sat on the seats near her. As the train stopped at the Westport Station, she said someone called her a derogatory name. Then came the blow just before the teens ran out the light rail doors. "As they were getting off they got me. They got me right in the face," she said. The victim said two light rail passengers who saw the attack offered assistance, staying with her until she got off at the Pataspco Station and remaining by her side until MTA police arrived. She said officers told her about situations where strangers are sucker-punched. "They said, 'There's something called the knockout game, point out game.' I didn't know what it was. He said, 'That's what it sounds like, a victim of the knockout game,'" she said. However, Baltimore City and Anne Arundel County police said they aren't currently investigating any cases that they would associate with the knockout game. The woman got medical treatment. She said doctors told her she did not suffer any concussions or fractures. MTA officials on Tuesday said six teens -- three boys and three girls ranging in age from 13 to 14 years old -- were taken into custody. Charges are pending. More information is expected to be released Wednesday. MTA officials didn't say how they tracked the teens down but confirmed they were able to view surveillance video. In recent months, New York City police have reported eight cases that fit the knockout game pattern. Police said in one attack that was caught on tape, a young man was punched in the face as he walked on the sidewalk.[/i]

  • Regradless of the skin colour - what kind of a brain-dead asshat do you have to be to consider this fun? Call it a game? How do you lose? Wheres the challange? I would kind of get the point if you were 1 v 6 thugs and trying to knowck them all out, but creeping up on a stranger is just weak. C'mon assholes, pump up the challange and actually play that game against a crowd of body builders, please?
