'Knockout game' attack leads to hate crime charge


**** pisses me off to no end. I've been saying since day one with this stupid *** game. That if it was a group of white kids doing it it would be a hate crime. But it's black kids so it's just kids "playing a game" that's wrong.

Sorry but it's a ****ing hate crime... period.

This isn't a damned game. It's dumb asses thinking they can do whatever they want and picking on people that aren't expecting it or can not defend themselves. They're not punching 25 year olds or 30 year old truckers. Etc. It's freaking old people and women.

It will stop when they do it to the wrong person or group, and 4-5 of them end up hanging from lampposts by the neck.

Parents, hit your children, teach them right.

As long as we're going there, seen this b.s. yet?

Selective reading much?

Investigators retrieved other videos from Barrett's phone, including some in which he uses racial epithets and talks about trying to work up the courage to play the knockout game, the complaint states. In one, Barrett says: "That plan is to see if I were to hit a black person, would this be nationally televised?"
It's not a hate crime because a white person did it. It's a hate crime because he specifically decided to target a black person instead of any old helpless person he found.

Its not like this is a new game or anything. This has been happening around the world for ages, but now we get to see the video posted on facebook.

Read it again and tell me where it says he selected someone because he hates blacks?

What I read was that the dude picked a black person because he knew it would get him the most attention... and he was right. White on black crime... hate crime. Black on white crime... crime.

It's pretty clear he wanted to get caught and he wanted to garner attention. He selected based on that and that alone. If anything my bet is his defense uses that and the hate part gets dropped from his charges and he'll plea out on general assault and battery. Do his reduced sentence after a mental evaluation and be forced to pay a six figure restitution.



Fact is pretty simple.... these have been hate crimes all along. I said it months ago... wait until a white dude hits a black person and you'll see the nation outrage on it. Until then it's just a "game." I was right and so was this POS nut bag.

They're all POS in my book.

I'm pissed off about all these morons. It's just another piece of the puzzle in societal moral collapse. This country has gone so far in the opposite direction of reasonable though that people are going farther and farther to gain attention and get a rush.

It bums me out.

I just thought it was interesting that what's happening is exactly what I said would happen months ago.

Black dudes hits an asian dude... assault. Black dude hits a white lady.... assault. Black dude hits a black chick... assault.

White dude hits a black person... hate crime.

They're all hate crimes. People are being selected for a specific purpose. They're seen as easy targets. Alone. Fragile. Defenseless. And yes I'm sure race has played a factor more times than not.

I agree. I just think it should be involved in the charges is at least half the cases I've heard about.

Gold Coast Street Performer / living statue attacked again and strangled on Christmas Eve 2013 - YouTube
What an idiot.

Not sure wtf the dude was trying to accomplish with that one. I'd have a dude passed out on the ground in less than 6 seconds. I'm surprised that no one punched that dude.


Hey watch this... I'm gonna go choke out the statue guy. WTF is wrong with people?
