I can't wait for the day the CCW carrier is targeted...and when its over and a group of young thu...I mean troubled youths are all layed around leaking, it should be nationally covered so its clear what the result can be.

I'm curious how the OP found out about it if it's being covered up?
Seems a bit odd.
How can you link to something that isn't being reported?

What is it with the inner city ...?
The truth is, it's a hard place to climb out of. One misstep and the only time you're on the outside, is when you're on a violent hunt for victims living a better lifestyle than you are. Hardly anyone of means willingly goes down there to see how bad it is for themselves (lest they too become a victim). The unfortunate are left to fend for themselves and we sit on the outside wondering why their kids act like feral animals.
The Knockout Game is what's left over when there's no better entertainment to be found.
I remember my dad beating the Hell out of a hood rat back in the '60s. The guy knew what manners were, but it was the '60s and rebellion was a norm. I remember when gang violence was principally perpetrated by poorly educated white kids. But, back then, violence was met with overwhelming counter-violence ... And that might be the reason we see such overreaction by the cops in the news everyday.
Who can define every cause for this? You can't ... It is what it is. The MSM don't have a clue how to address the issue. The problem right now is they're leaving it to the conservative media to report ... And they're all too happy to associate the blame with blacks being the problem instead of just the perps. As others have opined in this thread, that's not the 'cause' of the issues ... but in the absence of a better target, I can guess where the finger of blame is going to point too.
Excellent post, brother.

WOW.
You have summed-up far better than my pathetic post the root of what is killing our society.
We were once a people who looked out for each other.
Today, we look for the feds, school districts, and the police to do our "jobs" for us.
Anymore, citizens who stand up for themselves, or who demand recognition from gov't of their rights and privileges, are kicked to the back of the list of "issues" to be addressed by TPTB.
I will stand up for my right to be secure n my person and property against all intrusions.

Again and again the problems facing the black community rear it's ugly head. Again and again all I hear is excuses, the racist / victim hood card gets thrown out. As long as people make excuses for this behavior expect it to keep on happening.

Yes most of these mobs are black people, and most of the crime are at the hands of black YOUTH. But where do most black people live in this country? Poor, Neglected inner city areas. What are the best conditions to breed a criminal thug instead of a possibly good, contributing individual? Poor areas. Now poverty does not automatically equal crime, but lets factor in a few things.

"Knockout Game"
Just wait till someone does not get in a good blow and the victim draws his CCW weapon and drops a couple of perps.
Or a bystander with a CCW sees someone attacked and knocked out and draws his weapon and puts a couple slugs in the perp.
I will bet that this "Knockout Game" does not happen very often in states with a lot of CCW holders and most of the attacks happen in states that do not allow CCW or only have very few.

That's a well written post but I disagree with the fundamental message.
At a certain point people are responsible for their own actions.
I get the poor inner city argument but that kind of gets thrown out when the friend of these cowards is filming it on an iPhone or the latest Droid.
All I see in this knock out videos are cowards doing cowardly things.
