Black mobs' Knockout Game raising alarms

Recommended Posts

Editor’s note: Colin Flaherty has done more reporting than any other journalist on what appears to be a nationwide trend of skyrocketing black-on-white crime, violence and abuse. WND features these reports to counterbalance the virtual blackout by the rest of the media due to their concerns that reporting such incidents would be inflammatory or even racist. WND considers it racist not to report racial abuse solely because of the skin color of the perpetrators or victims.

Ready to play the Knockout Game?

The St. Louis version is the most popular, so let’s start there: Begin with a bunch of black people. Anywhere from five to 50.

Find a white person, but an Asian will do. Alone is important. Older is better. Weak and defenseless even more so.

Without warning, punch that person in the face as hard as you can. You win if you score a Knockout.

If not, keep punching until your arms and legs get too tired to continue. Or the person dies.

You can play anywhere, but “vibrant and culturally mixed” South Grand District is probably best. That is where the victims are: Asians, “***” people, artists, yuppies – people who won’t fight back.

The league does not have official standings. Not yet. But over the last two years, the number of attacks has ranged from 20, if you believe the police, to 100, if you believe people actually playing and watching the game.

And that is just in St. Louis.

It is so popular even the St. Louis mayor, Francis Slay, played. Slay and his bodyguard had just left a Pink Floyd tribute show and were riding by a city library in October 2011 when they saw a man in the gutter, unconscious.

That man was 51-year-old Matt Quain, who had been on his way home from a local grocery story, ready to celebrate a Cardinals’ victory in the World Series. The Post-Dispatch reports some of the details:

“Eighteen teenagers jumped on him and started hitting him with bricks for no apparent reason,” said Charlie Quain, the victim’s nephew. Quain’s uncle was walking home with a neighbor when he was attacked in front of a public library. Nothing was taken from him, and he was able to escape before things escalated.

The game has caused deaths in the past.

“You can just see the lines and the bruising where the edge of the bricks were hitting him,” Quain said. “His jaw is wired shut. It has to be for at least six weeks.”

Quain was left in a neck brace, with a broken jaw, black eye and stitches in his face.

The mayor saw the attackers “saunter” away.

Soon, seven black people were in custody.

A few days after the assault, Quain’s family pleaded for an end to the “sickening attacks.”

Police held a meeting at the school where most of the suspects attended. Please stop the Knockout Game, they begged.

Two weeks later, a 54-year old man was another victim. Two of the people arrested were at the meeting.

The Quain trial was supposed to begin in January. Instead, the district attorney dropped charges, because a 13-year-old witness did not show up for the trial.

Slay said it was a case of witness tampering.

“My strong guess is that she was intimidated, threatened not to testify which is why she did not show up,” Slay said to the Post Dispatch. “The case fell apart and the second-degree assault charges were dropped, followed by cheers and high-fives among the defendants.”

There was also plenty of jubilation on Facebook, the Post-Dispatch reported, including a dispatch from a black person known as the Knockout King because he was universally acclaimed to be the master of this athletic art form: “FREE ALL MY TKO GUYS.”

TKO is a boxing term for Technical Knock Out and is also a popular graffiti tag in that neighborhood.

Despite repeated pleas for peace from police, newspapers and the Quain family, a few days after the charges were dropped, the alleged assailants were back. And they were after Quain. Again.

KMOV TV talked to the shaken Quain: “I looked up and I was flinching because he had his fists up in the air,” Quain said.

Quain then pulled out a can of pepper spray and the accused attackers fled the scene.

Despite the otherwise excellent coverage, at no time did the Post-Dispatch ever include a description of the attackers that included their race. The paper even disabled the comments section of news stories associated with this and other Knockout attacks because readers were demanding to know why.

“Regarding the local newspaper shutting down the comments section on stories related to The Knockout Game, you should note it is actually now much worse than that,” said Deb, a St. Louis resident. “Because citizens were so angry at purposeful non-reporting and under-reporting of many stories here in St. Louis, they would take to the Comments Section of high profile crime stories in the online edition of our local paper to discuss and share what they know that the local paper was not reporting.

“The Post-Dispatch got tired of being made to look bad and incompetent when the Comments Section had more useful and factual information than the original newspaper article did.”

Not discussing the race of the assailants is one of the most cherished rules of the Knockout Game.

Or to paraphrase the popular movie: First rule of the Knockout Game: Don’t talk about the race of those involved in the Knockout Game.

The Quain case was the most visible but not the most deadly. That happened in April 2011, when two elderly Vietnamese immigrants were attacked and one was killed.

“It is because of a game called Knockout. Someone punched him in the head for sport and entertainment. The goal is to knockout someone with one punch. If you do that, you win,” reported KMOV.

Exex Murphy won this game. He was charged with murder. On his Facebook page, he reported:

“I just got arrested and detained. Good thing they didn’t read my rights.”

More cryptically, three days after the killing:

“People love tu play wit people freedom. But not dsz one so com n play because I will win n yo freedom will b done to.”

His Facebook page is still open and available to the public. In one picture, his girlfriend is wearing a shirt that says “Obama is my homeboy.”

Asian immigrants were victims of at least four other similar attacks, though some were not reported to police.

The list lengthens. Openly *** Matthew McLeod was on his way to his job as a hair dresser when six black people called him “******” before the Knockout Game began.

At least two bicyclists were also attacked in 2011.

Earlier this year, the attacks started again. In May, a 30-year-old man who is too scared to allow police to release his name, was beaten by a group of up to a dozen black people.

Police say it appears to be another example of the Knockout Game. One man was arrested, the others at large.

In March of this year, an unconscious Pete Kruchowski was found in the early morning in the middle of the street, near his bike, which showed little sign of damage.

Kruchowski suffered skull fractures, broken bones, a punctured lung, and bruises.

At first, some said Kruchowski was the latest victim of the Knockout Game. He was found in the same area as Quain. Later, police said it was just a bike accident.

Kruchowski suffered brain injuries and cannot remember.

Umar Lee is a St. Louis writer, activist and boxing coach. In his video blog and in an interview, he says police ignore many Knockout Game assaults because they make the city look bad.

Almost all of the perpetrators are black and the victims are not, he says. But the boxing coach knows why:

Most of the people who get beat up are vegans, gays, artists, non-violent types,” he said. “Many are kids from the suburbs or recent immigrants. People who are not prepared to defend themselves. There are white neighborhoods – blue collar, middle class neighborhoods – where these folks will not go because they know that people there are willing to defend themselves.

On Monday April 23rd, 2012, an elderly lady was attacked by a group of teenagers at the bus stop on Grand and Page. There has been no media coverage of this event. I have met several victims and the story is always the same going back to 2005.

St. Louis police and others say the attacks have been happening in waves since 2006. In 2009, in Columbia, Mo., security video shows a group of nine black people stalking a man into a parking garage.

They hit him, knock him down, kick him, then run away. Soon, however, they return, picked him up, hit him some more and kick him again.

In St. Louis, police say there have been about 20 Knockout Game episodes in the last two years.

According to people who post on St. Louis news sites where comments about the Knockout Game are permitted, that is a low estimate.

A very low estimate, says the Riverfront Times News.

The RFT found one of the game players who said the number of victims was more than 20:

“Based on our intelligence, we believe it’s an isolated group of maybe five to nine kids,” said Police Chief Daniel Isom.

Local teens say it’s far more popular than that.

“I’d say maybe ten to fifteen percent of kids play Knockout King,” Aaron Davis, who’s eighteen and lives in south city, adding that he never took part. “It’s not a whole school, but it’s a nice percentage.”

Some former participants maintain Davis’ estimate is too low.

“Everybody plays,” says eighteen-year-old Brandon Demond, a former participant who provided only his first and middle names for publication.

“It’s a game for groups of teens to see who can hit a person the hardest,” explains Brandon, who’s standing with a group of friends on Grand Boulevard as a police officer listens nearby. “It’s a bunch of stupid … little dudes in a group, like we are now. See this dude walkin’ up behind me?” – Brandon gestures to a longhaired man walking toward him on the sidewalk – “we could just knock him out right now.”

St. Louis seems to be the most popular place for the game, but it is not the only place. Attorney and writer John Bennett says the game is also played in Illinois, Massachusetts and New Jersey.

In Chicago, two men were recently charged with murder after playing the Knockout Game while a third man filmed it and posted it on Facebook.

In May of this year, a gang of 15 to 20 black people attacked and beat three people in a downtown St. Louis park.

Some say that was not the Knockout Game but just a violent black mob that occasionally swoops into downtown – in numbers as large as 1,000 – and beats, steals and destroys property there much as other violent mobs have done hundreds of times in the last two years in more than 60 cities.

St. Louis has a lot of those as well, especially in an area known as The Delmar Loop.

Many are on video.

It’s another example of racial violence the local media is curiously reluctant to report on.

An editorial from the Post-Dispatch gives a clue as to why:

Reporter Denise Hollinshed of the Post-Dispatch talked to some kids outside of Roosevelt High School, one of whom acknowledged that he’d taken part in the “knockout king” game.

“Knockout king is a thrill,” the kid told her. “It makes you want to keep doing it every day.”

Sure, the kid said, he knew he could hurt somebody. But he added, “You don’t know them, so why care about hurting them?”

That’s a chilling statement. It reflects an almost sociopathic lack of empathy.

On the other hand, the more you think about it, it perfectly captures today’s zeitgeist, the spirit of the times.

Why not foreclose on homes without giving the homeowners a chance to work out their mortgages? Why not let 50 million people go without health insurance? Why not tilt the table so all the money runs down to one end? You don’t know them, so why care about hurting them?

It’s not like you punched them in the head.

And the game goes on.

Not too difficult to figure out the Govt. is taking sides,and who's side they take. 50 years of B-S finally coming to a head.

“Everybody plays,” says eighteen-year-old Brandon Demond, a former participant who provided only his first and middle names for publication.

“It’s a game for groups of teens to see who can hit a person the hardest,” explains Brandon, who’s standing with a group of friends on Grand Boulevard as a police officer listens nearby. “It’s a bunch of stupid … little dudes in a group, like we are now. See this dude walkin’ up behind me?” – Brandon gestures to a longhaired man walking toward him on the sidewalk – “we could just knock him out right now.”

St. Louis seems to be the most popular place for the game, but it is not the only place. Attorney and writer John Bennett says the game is also played in Illinois, Massachusetts and New Jersey.

In Chicago, two men were recently charged with murder after playing the Knockout Game while a third man filmed it and posted it on Facebook.

In May of this year, a gang of 15 to 20 black people attacked and beat three people in a downtown St. Louis park.

Some say that was not the Knockout Game but just a violent black mob that occasionally swoops into downtown – in numbers as large as 1,000 – and beats, steals and destroys property there much as other violent mobs have done hundreds of times in the last two years in more than 60 cities.

St. Louis has a lot of those as well, especially in an area known as The Delmar Loop.

Many are on video.

It’s another example of racial violence the local media is curiously reluctant to report on.

An editorial from the Post-Dispatch gives a clue as to why:

Reporter Denise Hollinshed of the Post-Dispatch talked to some kids outside of Roosevelt High School, one of whom acknowledged that he’d taken part in the “knockout king” game.

“Knockout king is a thrill,” the kid told her. “It makes you want to keep doing it every day.”

Sure, the kid said, he knew he could hurt somebody. But he added, “You don’t know them, so why care about hurting them?”

That’s a chilling statement. It reflects an almost sociopathic lack of empathy.

On the other hand, the more you think about it, it perfectly captures today’s zeitgeist, the spirit of the times.

Why not foreclose on homes without giving the homeowners a chance to work out their mortgages? Why not let 50 million people go without health insurance? Why not tilt the table so all the money runs down to one end? You don’t know them, so why care about hurting them?

It’s not like you punched them in the head.

And the game goes on.

For once you are correct, sir. The Virginia Tech shooting and the 9-11 attack not withstanding, I believe most "mass" murderers in the US have been Caucasian. The difference here is that each of those was considered anomalous with no pattern of repeat attacks by others, the race of the individual is quickly identified and the act is roundly condemned by all. These recent mob attacks are senseless, increasing in frequency, and the phenomena even now apparently has a music (if you can call it that) theme. Several cities are experiencing these acts and the race of the perpetrators is consistently black—a fact that hasn't, to my knowledge, been reported by the liberal main stream media here.

They are behaving like feral animals. This ought to exponentially increase gun sales. The oposite effect the people who refuse to report it, or protect us had in mind.

Funny you should mention that...I read this today ;)

Gun sales surging in wake of 'Dark Knight Rises' shooting

ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER — Firearms sales are surging in the wake of the Colorado movie massacre as buyers express fears about both personal safety and anti-gun lawmakers who might use the shooting to seek new weapons restrictions.

In Colorado, the site of Friday's shooting that killed 12 and injured dozens of others, gun sales jumped in the three days that followed. The state approved background checks for 2,887 people who wanted to purchase a firearm — 25 percent more than the average Friday to Sunday period in 2012 and 43 percent more than the same interval the week prior.

**** Rutan, owner of Gunners Den in suburban Arvada, Colo., said requests for concealed-weapon training certification "are off the hook." His four-hour course in gun safety, required for certification for a concealed-weapons permit in Colorado, has drawn double the interest since Friday.

"What they're saying is: They want to have a chance. They want to have the ability to protect themselves and their families if they are in a situation like what happened in the movie theater," Rutan said.

When the next attack happens and a victim gets hold of one of those bricks or whatever they are using,

and beats the brakes off one of those hoodlums, blind fury, a pure a$$ whooping, just like they are doing, with multiple critical injuries,

then, and only then will this be reported in the MSM.

BE SAFE

AMAZING THAT THIS STORY IS JUST NOW REALLY REACHING THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA - I GUESS THE PROTECTION OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS NOT A CONCERN... HERE IS THE MORE RECENTLY PUBLISHED REPORT:

 

Potentially Fatal ‘Knockout’ Game Targeting Strangers May Be Spreading by Chris Lingebach November 16, 2013 10:40 AM

 

              

WASHINGTON (CBSDC) – A terrifying new ‘game’ that’s already caused deaths in Syracuse, St. Louis and New Jersey is sweeping the nation, and it preys upon unsuspecting people walking the streets, anywhere.

A recent report from New York-based CBS 2 shed light on the growing trend, displaying unsettling footage of teens participating in this game – which goes by the name ‘Knockout’ – and involves randomly targeting passersby, with the ultimate goal being to knock them out with one punch as they walk by.

One victim shown in the footage was 46-year-old Ralph Santiago of Hoboken, N.J., who was found dead with his neck broken and head lodged between iron fence posts, according to NJ.com.

Video surveillance shows Santiago walking in an alleyway in broad daylight, and just as he’s about to pass a pack of teenagers, one launches the fatal, knockout blow.

And what’s the point?   “For the fun of it,” one teen said in the video.

“They just want to see if you got enough strength to knock somebody out,” said another.

D.C. has not been spared of this violent trend.

One local woman, who was attacked on 14th Street NW in Columbia Heights on Thursday, tells DCist.com she believes to have been a target of this game, as a group of around eight males on bikes came up behind her, with one hitting her in the head. According to the report, police categorized the attack as “simple assault.”

The woman tells the publication she believes others in the area should be on the lookout for similar types of attacks.

Society in the US is degrading to the point of total deprevation. The country is lost to the mind control of the illuminatti. Play some more video games, watch some more TV and go to more Hollywood movies where there are zombies, peole killing for fun, and consistantly taking life is common place. SAD

Wow.... <_<  sounds like hobummer's BROWN SHIRT YOUTH GANGS are getting away with bloody murder whilst marauding.

 

Must be part of all that training they got from DHS...

 

They'll rarely prosecute their own little thug army because then TPTB would not be able to call on them when needed on

the grand scale when the call goes out to them to turn on US and effect what they are being encouraged to do against US to

bring about THE CHAOS.

 

 

 

And the sense of entitlement moves FORWARD ---- AGAIN. 

 

Allowing this to continue unchecked is equal and paramount to being condoned by TPTB.

 

It is imperative they let all this escalate in order to move their agenda FORWARD in order to justify what they have in

store for US ALL down the pike...

 

 

We're all being set up, folks.

Sounds an awful lot like what whites used to do to blacks but was called "Picnic"  

 

Although not taught in American learning institutions and literature, it is noted in most Black history professional circles and literature that the origin of the term "picnic" derives from the acts of lynching African-Americans. The word "picnic" is rooted from the whole theme of "Pick A ******." This is where individuals would "pic" a Black person to lynch and make this into a family gathering. There would be music and a "picnic." ("Nic" being the white acronym for "******.") Scenes of this were depicted in the movie "Rosewood."

Well I guess if the whites did it to them, then it is okay for them to do it now...really?

I would venture a guess that none of the so called "Players" were alive when this atrocity occured in the past. Just like there aren't any people still alive that were slaves in America during the 1800's. It was wrong then and it is still wrong now. There are no more pure bred white people, black people or pick any other race you want. It is time that people get over themselves and stop blaming each other for past stupidity that was conducted against our ancestors. All races of people have been slaves serving masters throughout the history of mankind. No particular race stands out as the worst treated. Black people were the most recent victim on a large scale. I would argue that people are still slaves, but the master is drugs, lifestyle etc...

We should choose to use the word "barbecue" or "outing" instead of the word "picnic."

Please forward this e-mail to all of your family and friends and let's educate our people.

 

Origins:   Specious etymologies seem to be all the rage of late, and this wild claim about 'picnic' fits that trend. You'll be heartened to know 'picnic' has nothing to do with lynching blacks (or anyone else, for that matter).

'Picnic' began life as a 17th-century French word — it wasn't even close to being an American invention. A 1692 edition of Origines de la Langue Françoise de Ménage mentions 'piquenique' as being of recent origin and marks the first appearance of the word in print. As for how the French came by this new term, it was likely invented by joining the common form of the verb 'piquer' (meaning "to pick" or "peck") and a nonsense rhyming syllable coined to fit the first half of this new palate-pleaser.

The first documented appearance of the term outside the French language occurred in 1748, but it was 1800 or thereabouts before anyone can prove it made it into the English language. Even then the word still wasn't being used in America, but in England.

Originally, the term described the element of individual contribution each guest was supposed to make towards the repast, as everyone who had been invited to social events styled as "picnics" was expected to turn up bearing a dish to add to the common feast. This element was picked up in other 'picnic' terms, such as 'picnic society,' which described gatherings of the intelligentsia where everyone was expected to perform or in some other way contribute to the success of the evening.

Over time, the meaning of the word shifted to emphasize an alfresco element that had crept into the evolving concept of what such gatherings were supposed to be. Nowadays one thinks of a picnic as a casual meal partaken in a pastoral setting, not as a repast enjoyed either indoors or outdoors but which was contributed to by everybody. Modern picnics can be provisioned by only one cook, and no one would think anything of it; what matters now is the food be eaten outdoors.

By the 19th century, 'picnic' had successfully made this linguistic shift in meaning. Its history (and that of every other word in the English language) is documented in the Oxford English Dictionary, and nowhere in its lengthy OED entry is mention made of executions or lynchings or blacks.

The fact that this etymology is spurious hasn't deterred some from being offended by it, as noted in this excerpt from a 2000 National Post article:

 

Meanwhile, things are not peachy on the campus of SUNY/Albany. The university wanted to honour baseball legend Jackie Robinson by having a picnic. But the university's equity office said this must not occur because the word "picnic" referred originally to gatherings held to lynch Blacks. In fact, as one of their own English professors (rather less committed to historical revisionism than RMC's Dr. Robinson) pointed out, the word "picnic" actually comes from a 17th-century French word that denotes a party at which everyone brings food. But Zaheer Mustafa, the equity officer, nevertheless decreed that "picnic" not be used because "the point is — the word offends." So the university decided to call it an "outing." Then, homosexual students took objection to that, and SUNY decided to publicize the event without using any noun to describe it.

 

As Richard R. Jones noted in Black Voice News, there's a very real downside to spouting hoax definitions just because they push a few buttons: It makes those doing the protesting look ignorant. Those who run with their emotions instead of using their heads end up doing the racists' work for them by making themselves appear to be too foolish to crack open a dictionary, and this caricature is not something that should be fostered if racism is to be defeated:

 

Many Black people are too quick to believe negative rumors; therefore, I refuse to contribute to national ignorance. These type of hoaxes only serve to make Black people look stupid and by no means is an advancement in education. It is too easy to go to the library and research the origin of words in dictionaries and/or encyclopedias to believe and spread every bit or garbage that comes through cyberspace.
