| Quote: | | Hoodlums have dubbed the violent practice as the 'Knockout Game,' where teens try to randomly knock out strangers with one punch. |
| Quote: | The NYPD told the station that a 24-year-old victim was walking in the Borough Park section of Brooklyn when he heard people talking about the game. The man was then hit in the head.
As the attackers ran away, police officers helped the man and fanned out across the area to find the suspects nearby, NBC reports. Their names were not released.
New York police Sgt. Brendan Ryan did not respond to a request for information about the arrests, but said in an email that extra officers have been assigned to the Crown Heights area of Brooklyn for the immediate short term.
The attacks in New York have racial overtones because the attackers are black and the victims have been Jewish |

| Read an article in the Salt Lake Trib today that indicated that this is more Urban Myth, than an actual thing... |

I've got emails informing me a prince in Africa has left his fortunes to me that are more legit than this article. Might want to fresh up those interweb skills.

As in this isn't really happening? Or that it isn't happening as often as it's being portrayed? |

FWIW there was a guy in Michigan a few months back that shot a kid who tried to use a stun gun on him playing the knockout game. Guy had his CCW, pulled out his gun and shot the kid twice in the ass (didn't die though). |

Option #2 - I am sure it has happened and may happen again, but that every time someone is randomly attacked at this point, people are screaming "The Knock Out Game" and that just isn't the case. |

| a blog isn't exactly a news outlet. and it wasn't calling anything out, it was making mention of "a few of these incarnations" having racial factors. in the last couple of paragraphs of the story. on the whole, it's not a hate crime, it's just idiots. |

 When I heard that name I knew her parents set her up for no future.
Dumb people like that girl are why people still stereotype black people. Just ship her out of the country and make it a better place already.
